• 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

  1 6.1.7600.16385

  2 6.1.7600.16385

  5 Autofailover

  7. bad driver

  6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 OS version

  Locale 1033

  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.

• Image portable HARD drive for transfer to the new computer portable HARD drive on the same laptop

  Location:

  Laptop was to receive the new HARD drive more big;

  Configuration is complex and has a lot of data and SW engineering.

  Own re - install would take too long.

  In operating systems earlier I just created an image, installed the new HARD disk and restored the image.

  In Vista, it does not. New HARD drive with image does not start. (Partition is correctly selected as active)

  Tried other methods, including Robocopy but without success.

  Sysprep is the right solution? If so, how will this affect users profiles and installed applications?

  Thank you

  Paraxis

  Hi Paraxis,

  Whenever we use the system image and restore from it, the hardware must be same, as has already been made to backup. The hard disk partition should also be in the same size.

  You can use Sysprep on your computer and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  Preparation system (Sysprep) tool is a technology that you can use with other deployment tools to install Windows on new hardware, operating systems. The Sysprep tool prepares a computer for imaging of disc or delivery to a customer of the configuration of the computer to create a new computer security identifier (SID) when the computer is restarted. In addition, the Sysprep tool cleans up user-specific and settings specific to the computer and the data that should not be copied to a destination computer.

  Access the links below for more information on Sysprep.

• Replace hard drive with any of the recovery discs...

  I have a Dell inspiron I5 3521 with widows 8.0. My hard drive has failed recently, and I stupidly did not have any backups previously. I tried to make one when I realized my hard drive was damaged, but I think the hard drive froze in the middle to catch her on the back. So I ordered a new hard drive online half. The original was 500GBP. New is 250. Now under the protection of Dell and restoring it freezes at 11 percent any action I take is to say system reset/factory reset to factory condition. Out of options. Out of my mind. Help, please. Friendly firs DIY attempt, geek team wanted $ 300 of ish to do this. Even with the problems I have, I still think it's a feature.

  How to get a CD restore partition?

  xxxChrispyxxx

  Dell does not provide a "recovery partition CD", they send only DVDs reinstallation of the operating system that was installed at the factory.

  If you are a resident of the United States and are the registered owner of the computer, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

  Note: Dell will charge for the disc, if there is no warranty

  If you do not live in the United States, contact the Dell Technical Support which is in your country.

• external hard drive not showing in my computer and transformed in a protection GPT partition

  Hi marilyn. I have a hard drive that works very well until he was hung on a mac os x computer laptop and has not been able to access. so I tried on my computer hp laptop windows vista Home premium and the AutoPlay has not begun. its not in ' my count ' but I can surely see in the Device Manager and remove the device. I learned that I can try to rename the location or the name of the drive, but I can't. its does not give me the option to change it. what I noticed, is that it has become a protection of a normal FAT GPT partition. I did a search and was able to read an article that windows vista can read, write GPT partition, but it is not in my case. data recovery is still possible? If so, how can save the files to my hard drive?

• I have virtualized my vista laptop hard drive to move on the new computer. WGA is eager for new registration.

  I have virtualized my laptop so that I could have run on the new computer without having to reinstall 100 GB of programs. It's a Vista Home Premium OS which has been virtualized. The virtualized system Vista now tells me it is not authentic and 1, buy windows, 2 enter the product key, 3 contact Acer.  Well, 3 is probably a waste of time. So, I tried 2 with the key on the laptop.  WGA said it turned on, but the screen has not changed who says that's not authentic. so I said, that the heck, I'll go ahead and pay microsoft the ransome... Well well... your site says I can't buy vista as sell you is no longer... WHAT!  Now, I'm screwed or people a way you sell me a Vista key?

  If it is an OEM license, then it is bound to the original laptop it was installed on.

• NTLDR is missing - when you try to install Windows 7 on another hard drive

  I have a PC Compaq Presario SR2027X a/w Win XP Media Center Edition SP3 installed.  I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine if WIN 7 would go on my system.  The airport of Win 7 Upgrade Advisor said that I could install Win 7.  I bought Win 7 32 bit and 2-1 GB PC5300 memory sticks.  I first installed the memory and booted up the system.  Everything worked well.  BIOS has seen the new memory and I have not encountered any error.

  I then turning the system off and removed the HDD (120 GB Sata).  I installed another hard drive (160 GB Sata) which had been restructured and ready to use.  The BIOS detects the hard drive and the BIOS has been changed for a start of the OPTICAL drive.  I then placed the WIN 7 32-bit software disk in the OPTICAL drive and saved the changes in BIOS and rebooted the system.  I was expecting to see the normal WIN 7 screens during the installation.  Instead, I got "NTLDR is missing, press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart".

  Then I tried pressing ESC during boot to enter the boot menu.  Once in the boot menu, I select the optical drive and now I get the message "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER".  I opened and close the optical drive optical drive light lights up, and I then press on enter.  I get the same message on "DISK BOOT FAILURE,...» ».

  I built more than 40 PC and have never had this problem.  Is there something unique about Compaq/HP PC's that prevents me to install WIN 7 on another hard drive that is not the original hard drive came with this pc?

  HP / Compaq computers are no different from any other computer on the market. You can install Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 on almost all made within the last 7 years.

  I think that your problem is due to a failure of CD/DVD drive or disk installation of Windows 7 corrupt or unbootable. Please check that the CD/DVD drive is fully functional and functional as should be. Also, check that your Windows 7 disc is free of errors and that it is bootable. If necessary, you can download a Windows 7 SP1 ISO from HERE and HERE and also download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

  I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

  The answers will be appreciated...

  Thank you

  Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

• How can I move music and photos from my MacBook on an external hard drive, files without deleting the existing NTFS files stored on it?

  Hello.

  I am aware that this issue (or different versions of it) will be requested a thousand times before, but after searching on the internet for a solution, I have been unable to find all the information that brings a simple clear answer that is specific to my problem and so thought I would ask the question myself.

  I recently bought a Toshiba 1 TB external hard drive to transfer music, photo files and internal document in front of the memory of my old PC running Windows, as well as files, music and photos from my existing MacBook Pro, so I can "release" the memory on the latter.

  Transfer files from the old PC proved to be easy; success achieved by simple drag / drop the files to the appropriate location on the external HD icon of Toshiba which appears once I connected to a USB port. It is perhaps worth mentioning that the area of States hard drive has been formatted NTFS for Windows, and so I guess that I would not have expected any problems when transferred to a PC.

  Move the files from my MacBook has however proved anything but simple and trying to drag the respective music and photo files and drop them on the HD Toshiba icon (which appears on my desktop once it is plugged), I seem to be affected by the same issues as so much seems to have it before me, in that "forbidden access" / error symbol appears with the cursor , and bounce the files to their original location whenever I try to place them on the Toshiba HD.

  I understand that this is due to the HD is formatted in NTFS, and that I would need to reformat the hard drive to move files from my MacBook, which brings me to my questions:-

  (a) how do I do this, and

  (b) can I do this without losing, damage or remove the NTFS files from my old PC, which are already stored on the external hard drive.

  If one is able to offer any assistance, in the most simple, easy to follow the description, I would be really grateful!

  Never been so thanks in advance!

  1 install software such as Paragon NTFS on the Mac and let the reader in its current form or from the Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open disk utility and reformat.

  2. that by putting a copy on another drive. You should do this anyway, in case of failure of this drive.

• NB100 will not boot from the XP CD in the external USB CD/DVD drive

  I try to install XP Home in my NB100
  The netbook still refuses to boot from the XP CD. It's just not more
  Returns the current operating system (Ubuntu) or give the error "Could not find NTLDR" dreaded.
  And yet - it will boot from an Ubuntu Live CD disk perfectly fine, AND
  If I connect this external hard drive on my computer Windows 7, (another Toshiba
  Portable satellite) that the machine starts quite successfully since the XP CD
  in the same external drive!

  Can anyone throw any light on what is happening on Earth on?

  Hello

  There are various reasons why this error message:
  In most cases this error because the laptop is trying to boot from a HARD drive or flash drive that is not configured correctly. Maybe the drive is not bootable or not compatible.

  It would also be possible that some sectors on the HARD disk, HARD drive failures are corrupt or BIOS is damaged. NTLDR error messages may also appear if the master boot record is damaged.

  In your case I recommend that you format the first HARD drive before booting from the hard drive CD7DVD external using Win XP CD.

  By the way: you must add SATA driver to CD Win XP using nLite.
  The SATA driver is placed on the European driver Toshiba page in the Intel Storage Manager

  The SATA driver is needed to recognize the HDD by Win XP!

  Hi, I have a HP SimpleSave 500 GB external hard drive. Till a month back I had copied, files, documents, mp3 etc in this player. And a few weeks back when I plugged it to recover some data on this subject, I was unable to see any folder in which I had copied the same. In the properties it shows to me that about 120 GB is used, which some how make sure that data are on it, however, due to an unexplained error, I am unable to see. Any help will be appreciated.

  Hi TinmanSav,

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: Run the hardware and devices Troubleshooter and see if it makes a difference.

  Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

  Method 2: I suggest you disable and re-enable the USB controller and check.

  Use Device Manager to disable and re-enable all the USB controllers. This allows controllers to recover the port USB of his condition does not respond. USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.

  To disable and re-enable the USB controllers, follow these steps:

  a. click Start, type "Device Manager" in the start search box and press ENTER.

  b. Expand Universal Serial Bus of controllers.
  
  Note: You need to scroll the list to find this point.

  c. right-click on the first USB controller under Bus USB controllersand then click Uninstall to remove it.

  d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.

  e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.

  f. check the USB device to see if it works.

  Method 3: Check if the external hard drive is recognized in disk management and assign a drive letter to the same.

  To open disk management, follow these steps:

  ·         Click Start, type disk management in the start search box and press enter.

  If the drive is detected in disk management, I suggest you to assign a drive letter and see if that does the trick.
