  I NEED HELP TO KNOW HOW EXACTLY, STEP BY STEP, TO DO THIS.

  Three points:

  1. software (Real Player or any other) should generally not be on
  external hard drives. It can cause problems. So you shouldn't do it.

  2 move a program from one drive to another (external or not) is
  difficult. This is because besides that the software itself, there is
  usually many references to it and its location in | Windows, in the
  Registry and elsewhere. Search and replace all of these references is
  very hard. There is a software that is supposed to do, but in my
  experience, none of this works perfectly. I recommend strongly against
  it.

  3. move media files is easy. You can move the files to a disk
  to another exactly like you would move them from one folder to another.
  There are several ways, but cut-and - paste and drag - move are the
  may be simpler and more common. If you do not know how
  write again for more information.

• Windows 7 Professional... How to get access to security to view my external hard drives and external flash dirves

  I am a first time user to windows 7 Professional and need to learn how to access files that are connected to the computer by an external flash drive or an external hard drive.

  External or external flash drives hard drives can be connected to windows 8 computers or windows xp to view the files, but when then identical external or external flash drives hard drives are connected to two computers with windows 7 Professional there are settings automatically don ot all access to the external hard drive or flash drive external files.

  When I right click on the hard drive and then click the Security tab, it displays:

  Do you want to continue?

  Then I clicked on continue and it displays:

  You do not have permission to view this object's security properties.  To view its security properties, you can try to take possession of the object.  As owner, you can also control who gets the permissions on the object.  Please note that once you take possession, the previous owner may not have access to the object.

  To try to take possession of the object, select an account from the list, and then click OK.

  This problem has been resolved in collaboration with support of higher HP for Z book 17 mobile workstation.

  Steps:

  (1) determines that it is not NTFS problem

  (2) using the MSCONFIG the problem has been isolated to a single service

  When this service has been disabled and after reboot, the problem of access to the files is resolved.

  Results: HP had installed software on the HP Z book 17 laptop or mobile workstation which, by default, block communication with external hard drives and flash drives external.

  This HP Client Security software replaces or blocks all right click changes settings become apparent.  It blocks the change of ownership.  It blocks the administrator privileges.  It blocks all is used.

  The HP Client Security software has been changed and changed to deny privileges (default setting) to allow the communication with external drives.  When you go into the setting for this software, it is now a humming noise and maybe I need to download the drivers and software again to see if this problem is also corrected.

  Thanks for your comments.  I spent a lot of time on this and didn't understand why all right-click methods had failed.  The default software setting HP deny had trumped right click all changes.

• Is it possible to work on projects iMovie on external hard drives in order to save disk space on my macbook (the internal hard drive has little space)?

  Hello!

  I have a problem working with iMovie on my MacBook Air... Drive HARD internal of the MacBook is unfortunately to small for the biggest projects iMovie... Is there a way to work on external hard drives or perhaps TimeCapsule?

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Yes, put your iMovie library/ies on a fast (7200 RPM) external hard drive to the Apple format is a good way of working.  Details of the setting up of libraries are covered in the help files to:

  http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7

  Note that you may need to consolidate the media in an existing library before you travel to avoid breaking links to media located in the libraries from other Apple applications.  See:

  http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351

  I would not recommend using Time Capsule - you would need a separate partition above the used by time machine, and you could put some data on the same drive as backup.  Connection speed can also be a problem.

• How to move photos from a camera to an external hard drive?

  The simplest method is to take the SD card out of the camera and then insert it into the SD slot on the side of your 2011 27 "iMac and copy and paste the pictures from the SD card to your DHM.

• How can I change the icon associated with an external hard drive in XP?

  I had to reformat etc and when settled dust that I can not put an icon on my external hard drive from seagate 1 t. It's not bad but it drives me crazy because it seems that it does not...

  Using Notepad, create a file with the following content

  [autorun]
  ICON = localpath\iconfile

  Save the file as autorun.inf (be sure to set "Save as type" in the drop-down list for "All Files" box).

  • IconFile is a file with the file extension ico icon.
  • LocalPath is the file (or folder and subfolder, etc.), without a drive designation.  So, for example, if there is a folder in the root of the named Seagate external drive, and you have an icon named seagate.ico file, the line in your autrorun.inf file would be:

  Icon = Seagate\seagate.ico

  Note that the square brackets in the first line should be included
  The autorun.inf file is usually a hidden, but making it so is yours.

• How to transfer Time Machine backup to the new external hard drive

  I'm upgrading to a 1 hard external to the Western reader to with 5 TB of Seagate.  This is because Time Machine has used the 1 TB drive.  How can I transfer the files from backup Time Machine from the old to the new drive so that backups continue to have access to the old files.

  Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.

  This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.

  First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.

  Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.

  Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.

  If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.

  Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.

  ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."
