I have a Windows XP computer with 2 hard drives. Can I install Windows 7 in one of the hard drives?
I want to upgrade my XP computer to Windows 7. I have 2 drives, a master and a slave. Given that I can only do a custom Setup, before I upgrade I want to backup my data on the slave drive and then do the custom Windows 7 install on the master. I have this possible? And, if possible, can I then copy the files to the slave to the master?
Yes, you can.
To ensure a security update, follow these steps:
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.
You will receive the following warning:
The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK
The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.
Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.
You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

I own a windows computer and now a mac can also install LR5 with the same serial number on two computers?
I'm not sure but based on the selections of purchase stating you can buy for Mac and Windows for equal opportunities of purchase you are able to install and activate on two different platforms using the same serial number. I know that this is the case with the purchases of items but Lightroom does not seem to come as often.

My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.
Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.
The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.
Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...
You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?
By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?
Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

??? When you save as a set of version, the original is just closed without change; This is the main reason, keeping the original unchanged. This is the version that is recorded. What boxes did you check? Maybe after a screenshot.
There is no difference between 12 and 14 versions, except that the 14 shows default version of the 'adaptive grid' discovers instead of the "detailed" view You can switch between the two views with the shortcut Ctrl + D. Only the former 'detail' lets see show you both the original and the version.

You can install it on another machine the same way that you install on the first machine. If you need to download to do this, you should have a link available on your Adobe account online.
