• How can I transfer files from a hard drive on a second hard drive on the same computer

  My 150 G hard drive is full - I installed a second drive hard 150 G and need to download my original hard drive

  My 150 G hard drive is full - I installed a second drive hard 150 G and need to download my original hard drive

  First of all, note that "Download" isn't really an appropriate word.

  Moving files from one disk to the other does not differ from moving from one folder to another folder on the same drive. There are several ways to do so. The two most common are:

  1. copy / paste

  2. open the source and destination in two instances of Windows Explorer (or my computer) and drag and drop from one to the other.

• How to remove unnecessary files from the hard drive using Lightroom.

  Hello

  I use Lr 5.7 on Win7 64-bit. I would remove completely some old files and their contents that were part of my previous, very messy organization. I still have parents and masters images files, so I have no need extra junk on my hard drive.

  I tried to do a right click on the file, but the only option is to delete the catalog. I saw posted solutions that say click on icon less. I don't see an icon less anywhere. As far as I know, Lightroom really doesn't want "delete me" anything.

  Thank you!

  have you tried to delete images? You can't delete the folders...

• Reserectes from long deleted files from the hard drive Windows 7 Pro.

  Long very old files deleted, appear in My Document (files not necessarily the original). Repeatedly remove them, using a shredder program, they always appear. I wonder if the problem will be resolved to a clean install.

  Programs may not be transferred.  They must be installed again from your record source or internet downloads.

  Data can be transferred to a new system.  The best way to do this is to copy the data from your drive to be replaced (assuming that he still works) on a disk hard external - that's what you should be backup anyway - then, after your system is rebuilt, you can transfer data from this external storage on the disk.

• Satellite U - How to recover deleted files from mysafe?

  Hello

  Does anyone know how to recover deleted files from mysafe?

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that the data in this folder will not be deleted to bin recycled initially, but they will be removed immediately.
  How recovery them? Good question?

  Try to find some third party applications that can scan the HARD disk for deleted files. The point is that it will work if the FAT (File allocation table) is deleted only. This means that the file is on the HARD disk, but the disk HARD doesn t know where exactly.
  Hmmm... It is not so easy.

  This error indicates that an application is using this file at this point here. If you are unable to remove it, restart your computer and then try to delete it.

  IF YOU ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL WITH THE above METHOD, THEN TRY to USE UNLOCKER, a free application that disables the application using the file that you want to delete.
  Download unlocker from here-http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/
  Click on the above link and click on download the newer version on the right side of the screen.
  Download UNLOCKER from the link given above and install it. (you may need to restart the computer)
  Right-click on the file you want to delete, and then click unlocker.
  A new window opens showing all applications using this file.
  Select all files, and then click on unblock.
  Now right-click on the file you want to delete, and then click on remove.
  YOUR FILE WILL BE DELETED SUCCESSFULLY.
  If you are still unable to delete that file and unlocker shows no application, then follow these steps-
  Right-click on the file you want to delete and click unlocker.
  A small window will appear.
  In the drop-down list, choose delete, and then click ok.
  Your file will be deleted on the next reboot of the system.

• How to recover files from my hard drive?

  I tried to upgrade windows 8.1 to 10, but something was wrong and I can't boot my laptop more. I have Samsung i5. Samsung has it s own recovery program, but impossible to locate all personal files from my hard drive (C:\user) s.

  The problem is - my accont is protected by word (with the microsoft account) how can I recover my files? They are also protected by Word? Can I access simply by making the copy of disc or I´ll to decrypt?

  It depends on if you have encryption enabled or not.  If you have the encryption on, then you will need a copy of your encryption key or the files will be locked forever.

  If you encrypt your files, you can recover the files simply by putting the hard drive on another computer and navigate on it as if it were a USB key (it's just a reader), you can even appropriating and re - set the permissions on the folder.

  Another option is to start by using any Windows install CD or USB.  At the prompt to install, skip it and press SHIFT + F10 to open a command prompt.  So to reach this player (the letter can be no C: in this mode) and use the command copy to copy the file to another disk or USB stick.

• I copy / paste a file from a hard drive to a usb port and now I lost the USB I get the hard drive?

  I move a file from a hard drive to a usb port and now I lost the USB I get the hard drive

  "Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
  also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
  sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
  the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
  the unrecoverable file.

  So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
  Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
  downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
  example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
  be very poor now.

  But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
  using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
  already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
  http://www3.TELUS.NET/mikebike/restoration.html but there are several
  others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer (do not
  it on yours because that would overwrite the files you want
  Undelete) and bring it to you on a CD or thumb drive to try.

  If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
  a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
  expensive and may or may not work in your case.
