How to remove the old hard drive files. Can not defragment
Not enough space to defragment.
I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.
Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter
Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.
You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.
The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.
A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.
The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.
If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

How to remove the old timemachine/backup files from an old hard drive
I did not use a hard disk for time machine for several years (replaced by the 3 TB model). I had a few back normal of the files on it and everything just deleted the folder backups.backupdb. All but 7 mb removed. I then filled the hard disk with the other files. Now, I want to remove these 7 MB.
I said my mac to remove all the locked files, no luck. I changed the permissions of the main folder, open and said the mac to do the same to inclusive all files, no luck. I did the same thing to each folder in the folder backupdb, no luck.
I even dug deep into the HD/system/library/coreservices records and released the boot.efl and bootx files and no removal of chance.
A secure boot has not helped.
Reformatting the drive is not an option that I have thousands of files on that drive.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Remove the old hard drive's "system Reserved" partition
I installed a new Seagate 1 TB hard drive and a new operating system Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit on my HP Pavilion a6500f PC. I kept the old Seagate 500 GB disk, put it in an envelope and formatted to use as a unit of storage for backup of my drive. However, when I open 'Computer' after having turned on the envelope I have 2 drives listed instead of one. It says a (J) is the system reserved partition and the other (K) is the drive. I put a picture to show what I mean.
As you can see in the middle there are two partitions for the main drive (C), and the bottom shows the drive J and K. What I want to know is how to get rid of this drive J so that all I have is the K left.
Help will be greatly appreciated!
Personally, I would use free mini tool to format the drive externally
Of course you have formatted the other not the entire disk partition
Reason to use the mini tool is that it is more user-friendly :)
But you can drive system 6 reserved a right click and select Delete volume

How to remove the old Hello msi file
make the misstake of trying to download the new itunes to message delete old Hello computer msi keep can someone help? PS also tried using itunes help they say that I'm not on the internet
It really helps to have the full error message. It's not like if you pay by the letter questions posted in these forums.
Based on the almost total absence of information in your message, my guess is that your old iTunes installation has become corrupted, or partially deleted, and as a result, you cannot install the new version.
The simplest thing to do is just clean things, and then try again.
Used to have a tool just to do this, called the Windows Installer Microsoft Cleanup utility. Apparently, however, when this tool has been used (I think with MS Office), removes sometimes more he was supposed to, and that's why Microsoft has removed the tool of its download servers.
The Windows Installer Cleanup utility is always available from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , or you can use the free Revo Uninstaller. Before using or the other of these tools, create a restore point from the system, backup the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, or (if you can afford) creates a full disk image or a clone - just in case.
Here are the usual directions to perform a "clean installation" of iTunes, based on Support of Apple HT1926 article.
Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
Remove these applications:
1 Apple Software Update
2. Apple Mobile Device Support
3 Hello
4 iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, be it, it is not necessary, then we can remove it)
5 iTunes
6 QuickTimeOpen my computer > C: > Program Files
Delete this files (if present)
1 iPod
2 iTunes
3 QuickTimeEmpty your temp directory:
Open my computer > C: > Documents & Settings > username > Local Settings and delete the contents of the folder called "Temp".If you don't see the local settings, enable hidden files:
Tools > Folder Options > view tab
Select Show Hidden Files & folder, and then click OKOnce this file is empty, restart the computer
[See note above regarding cleanup utility]
Download & install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Launch the utility: start > programs > Windows Installer Clean Up
Select one of the applications mentioned above and click on removeRestart the computer

New computer installed Windows 7 and gave me an option to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files, data, programs, etc. from my old computer. All I have from the old computer's hard drive; a lightning strike fried either food or his mother by car. I have attached the hard as a disk to the new computer using the usb cable provided with the external hard drive case. It is recognized as drive E: on the new computer.
Trying to follow the instructions given by the Windows Easy Transfer software. Get the software/folder from the old hard drive (drive E), but trying to run the software that I can't seem to do anything on the old disk. When asked what is the former or the new computer - I respond to old, but no new file is created for the transfer. When I answer again, a new file is created on the new computer (rather than the old HDD) and then he transferred again to new. I can't create a file of whatever it is I want to transfer from the old HDD.
I can't use an easy transfer cable because the old computer does not only the hard drive. I can't connect to a network for the same reason. I only have the hard that I can attach to the new computer. But I can't get the new computer to process the old hard drive separately for transfer purposes. The only other option I can think of is to attach the old HDD to another computer, and then try to run the software in this way, but I don't want just the stuff on the old hard drive a copy to the other computer.
Can anyone help? Suggest how to get the old hard drive files, data, transferred etc. to the new computer. What are the steps?
Thank you.
Do yourself a favor, with the old drive connected externally, in the browser, simply copy the data files to the location of Documents of the PC win7. You can not copy programs, they need to be reinstalled from media origonal. You can copy all the downloaded files instalation
You may need to take possession of your old documents folders - see win help to find out how

I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.
The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

Get the old hard drive to work on the new processor
I am a PC Tech company with problems on PC at home.
My Win 7 Home Premium Dell Studio T435/9000 dead. It was a motherboard problem, I chose not to replace the CPU/Mo with a duplicate. The hard disk MBR is good, I could read it and when I installed in an Optiplex 990 at work, it is initialized.
I had the chance to receive a new Dell T5610 with 2 CPUs of a parent. It came with professional Win7 preinstalled on an SSD, UEFI boot on a GPT disk. But all my apps are absent and even a rat-pack obsessives like me do not have all the CD and install the files for the various applications on the old hard drive.
I want to use my old hard drive on the new PC, then after that it's stable, migrate the old hard drive to the SS disc supplied with the PC.
First problem was to learn the differences between MBR and GPT. After this was learning that Home Premium does not work on a PC with two separate processors. I use Win7 professional for that. With the help of this forum, I was able to do this by using the Optiplex 990. I run Win7 Professional on the Optiplex 990.
I take the former home of hard disk go BIOS to legacy. Old hard drive that boots on 990, does not start on T5610.
I try various advanced options, safe mode, low-resolution video, nothing works. I get a BSOD is a hard drive error, STOP 040000007 B.
I try Startup Repair tool and get the following:
Problem event name
Offline Startup Repair
1 6.1.7600.16385
2 6.1.7600.16385
5 Autofailover

How can I get my old hard drive to work with the new processor. Is it a question of Dell, a Win7 Office. As the hard drive starts up successfully on another CPU, I believe that the hard drive is good.
Thank you very much for your help!
Thanks to you all. But the solution was completely different.
Dell said the motherboard on the accuracy was so different from my old PC that unless I reinstalled Win7 Professional from scratch on the old hard drive, motherboard would not work with the old hard drive.
They have guaranteed that the old hard drive would work on a 8700 XPS. After some problems, I managed to do the work. Problem solved.

The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7
Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:
Windows XP and earlier versions:
\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Windows Vista and later:
\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.
A little luck?

Cannot copy files from the old hard drive to new
Original title: crash and recovery of hard drive problem
My hard drive crashed it wouldn't boot saying config.sys is damaged or corrupted, I tried to fix it but the sector is damaged. I was using XP, I had a password on my settings. I installed a new hard drive and reinstalled windows XP, but even if I can 'see' the old hard drive (always installed) I can't access my documents, how can I get to them? I know the password but since its an account on another drive it won't give me the chance to log on to the account.
Assuming that you use the Encrypting File System (EFS) then this article should solve your problem:

How can I move the old hard drive to new programs.
I tried to upgrade Windows 2000 Pro, XP Pro on my hard drive. XP would install, but would break to the BSOD with a STOP of the F4 code. BCupdate2 says that the startup code is up to date. NTDLR and boot.ini and NTDETECT.COM are present on the old hard drive. After 2 days of searching and trying different solutions, I bought a new hard drive and installed XP Pro top. System is now running. I want to make my programs from the old hard drive to the new hard disk as well as shortcuts, system settings, user accounts, and user data. I want the new HDD to resemble the old hard disk would look like had XP installed successfully. I have a utility provided with the hard drive, but it says it will take the BONES of the old drive and put it on the new drive that would make my non-operational system. Any help? The history of the old drive is 64 XP was installed originally, but some of my programs wouldn't not below so I installed Windows 2000 Pro. Which was great for several years, but the new versions of the software I use has stopped running less than 2000.
I'm sorry, but it is not possible to move programs from one operating system to another. You must reinstall the programs.

· My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)
I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.
Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.
You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.
This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.
Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=external+hardrive+enclosure&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=14388537836&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=556960941559985931&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32uorbwbuk_bYou need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.
