• How to back up drive C: on external hard drive. I have XP Home Edition

  I do not know how to backup to an external hard drive using Backup Assistant or any other method. I tried to go to 1. Launch 2. Accessories 3. sys Tools 4. There is no prompt to backup. Help!

  Thank you Ken

  This is because the NT backup program does not automatically get installed with XP Home.

  I'll tell you how to take care of this, and also why you might want to consider other more modern for your backup options (if you want it to run).

  The backup program is automatically installed on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If you have the genuine bootable XP Home installation CD, insert it into your system and navigate to this folder:

  \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP

  Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the installation.

  Here is a nice article from Microsoft which tell you all this:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=302894

  Here is another article that explains how to:
  http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

  If you don't have an installation CD and need to download the Ntbackup.msi file, here is the link if you can download:
  http://www.winxptutor.com/Ntbackup.htm

  Now to the good part:

  If you are using in relying on the built in NT backup to back up your system, it is the primitive technology (obviously - because you will be asked for a floppy disk).  If you have a disaster (even minor), you will have a big problem, trying to recovery your stuff, if you don't have a floppy drive.

  If you want to make a backup, it makes sense to use modern technology - and that the technology is not integrated into XP.

  There are many popular options for XP Backup and imaging software (s) of third parties.

  A people a popular seem to love East of Acronis.

  With this (free 30 day trial) you backup, you can make a bootable CD or bootable USB (which is modern, huh?) and use than disaster.

  They used to have a completely free version - maybe no more - just the trial, then you must buy it, but it is highly respected.

  It is so much more robust than the XP Backup, it's laughable.

  Many other options if you do a little research on Google...

  Here are other products that the PML had proposed could be attractive (use Google to find them):

  Acronis
  Macrium Reflect
  Paragon backup and restore
  DriveImageXML

  Some disk cloning software for you to Google ideas:

  Acronis True Image Home 11
  EASEUS ToDo Backup

• Can I install Adobe 12 items on my external hard drive? I have all my data there.

  Can I install 12 on my external hard drive and the necessary pieces of program would always settle on the C drive? I have all my data on the hard drive as are all my photos.

  Yes, there are a few pieces that would be installed on your startup disk.

  Personally, I prefer to install app on my machine to an external hard drive and keep the data on the external drive files and access the external drive while working in the elements. However, it is supported.

  There are now 4 computers in front of me.

  Two are laptops 17 inch hp (consumer)

  Two are workstations mobile hp 17 inch (company)

  On the consumer books, I can view the files on my external hard drive 1 to and 1 GB player.

  On the company workstation (mobile), I'm not able to view the files on the hard drive or flash drive.

  I need your help so that I can save files from the internal hard drive of the mobile platform of book z hard disk external.  And I need to be able to reconnect the external drives and readers to the Zbook mobile workstation to transfer files to transfer flash.

  These are the pop ups that appear for each when displaying of readers by opening my computer:

  When left click hard disk drive a pop up appears with the title bar: location is not available.

  H:\ is not accessible.

  Access is denied.

  Make a right click on the hard drive allows FreeAgent GoFlex drive opening (h :)) properties)

  The tabs are ReadyBoost, previous Versions, Quota, customize, general, tools, hardware, sharing, security

  By clicking on security of advances and then permissions then continue and then change my name owner or administrator... both methods result in the same access denied result once again.

  I came across this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/00d04415-2b2f-422c-b70e-b18ff918c281 is this something I need to study and learn before I am able to connect and use an external drive or flash?  Or is there another problem?  If the answer is in this link, do I have to put emphasis on and why wasn't windows 7 configured so that it is easy to use external drives as in win xp and win 8?  Are all usb ports do not or all drivers of failing or is it a software problem all?

  I was not able by trial and error to display all files on any hard drive or external flash on the two books of z of mobile workstation.

  Then I went to the flash drive.

  Left click on the flash drive produces a pop-up with title bar G:\

  You don't have permission to access this folder.

  Click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.

  After clicking on continue it opens another pop-up with title bar G:\

  You have been denied permission to access this folder.

  To access this folder, you will need to use the Security tab.

  When clicking on the Security tab he opens a new pop with the title bar: removable disk (g) properties

  The tabs are general, tools, hardware, sharing, ReadyBoost, customize

  He did not indicate what to do next.

  The hard drive is a seagate 1 TB drive that works very well

  The flash drive is a 1 GB drive which works very well

  This problem has been resolved.

  Right-click all methods have not access external external hard drives and flash drives.

  Sharing, permissions, ownership, administrative changes, all method all failed.

  This problem has been resolved by higher HP product support.  Other levels of support were not able to diagnose the problem or fix.

  The problem has been resolved by:

  (1) determine that he was not a NTFS problem

  (2) using the msconfig to isolate a single service

  When the unique service has been disabled the files on any external drives have been available.

  The service of the problem was the HP Client Security.

  This HP Client Security in its default value is set to deny access.

  Then right-click on the drive and change the permissions, ownership, to administrators, using everyone etc. will fail because they are all trumped by the HP Client Security that is set by default to deny access.

  When that client security is changed the drives become available.  It is not information about this when using the computer and this can be learned by trial and error.

  I hope this helps all those who have z book 17 mobile workstations or HP computers that are equipped with client security.

• 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.

• External hard drive problems - we have most of the files to get a message "access denied."

  USB connected external hard drive was used with XP.  For a small period of time, we had to connect to a machine from W7.  Now that we are back to the XP machine, we have most of the files to get a message "access denied."  How we fix the problem.  The files are images, videos or music.

  Try this,

  Start in safe mode.
  Open your computer and right click on your external hard drive.
  Go to properties.
  Click Security.
  Click on Edit under a quote "to change permissions, click on change."

• Windows 8 cannot connect to the external hard drive after you have added the drive case.

  Original title: I have my hard drive from my previous PC attached to my new PC with windows 8. My old PC had XP. How to access the external hard drive?

  I had problems with my XP operating system and could not transfer all the files to my new PC. I spoke with Dell who I believe created the problem with software support. I was told to get out the hard drive, buy a hard drive enclosure and get my files from there. I can't find the hard drive.

  Hello

  Thank you for the update.

  Given that the problem occurs when the hard drive is connected to a different USB port or another computer, it is probably related to the connection of the hard disk.

  Method 1: check if the problem occurs in another computer after removing the hard disk enclosure.

  Method 2:

   

  Step 1: Check if the hard drive is detected in Windows Explorer.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. connect the hard disk of the computer.

  b. press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.

  c. check if the hard drive is present here.

  Step 2: Check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select disk management.

  b. check if the hard drive is listed there.

  Contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and hard drive enclosure for assistance.

• You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

  Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

  I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

  What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

  Any advice would be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  Nick

  Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other.  If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk.  Thia may be useful:

• Homegroups: an external hard drive can be shared in a homegroup in win 7?

  Have established a network of homegroup, sharing of libraries, but I wish I could share an external drive for backups with moving them the reader from one place to another

  Hi abratton. Here's a topic that should help you. Find the section "Include a folder on an external hard drive in a library."

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/include-folders-in-a-library

  Once you have included the files in a library, then make sure you share this library with your homegroup:

• Hard drives can be swapped between two windows 8 portable

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite 15.6 laptop "with 8 GB of memory and a HARD drive of 1 to 3 months ago. I just bought a second laptop for my wife, this time following a 11.6 "ASUS with 4 GB RAM and 500 GB HARD drive.

  Given that the ASUS is much smaller and portable and I travel a lot, I would like to take on the Toshiba HARD drive and insert into the ASUS and replace it with the 500 GB drive HARD to the ASUS. My wife would be perfectly happy with the largest and Toshiba. These are the two machines of Windows 8. Of course I will do a memory swap as well, but I already know how to do this and I don't know for sure it will work... so no question here.

  Other things that worry me:

  -The Toshiba is NOT a touch screen laptop computer

  -l'ASIS is a laptop touchscreen

  (1) swap will work?

  (2) say it works, the touchscreen on the ASUS functionality will continue to work with the Toshiba HDD inside?

  Does anyone have suggestions/tips/advice for me to complete this task.

  Thank you very much in advance...

  Conrad

  Short answer to your Q

  (1) NO.

  (2) not relevant due to (1)

  Unless you plan on downloading a lot of video or games 500 GB is big enough

  8 GB of ram require 64-bit win, while the 4g needs than 32-bit win

  If you install more ram on a 32-bit win, anything beyond 4 GB cannot be used

• Cannot move all the files as windows explore crashes - it happens every time when you use an external hard drive (several readers have been tested and work on other machines)

  Make sure that the device is compatible with Vista, the Vista Compatibility Center: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspx.

  If you need to get pilots to leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  You need to find the NAS device and the NICs in particular - but it would not hurt to look at all the when you're there.

  Go to start / Control Panel / Add Hardware and select the first option (recommended) to see if the system can detect the device.  If this does not work, choose the second and provide the information requested on the device.  You will be asked for drivers - have their practice.  Follow the prompts to install the device (NAS).  Make sure that it is plugged in and turned on when you do so, or he not be recognized.  It's the hard way of installing a hardware device, but your system obviously isn't automatically recognize it then do it manually. Here is a brief tutorial on how to do so: http://www.web-articles.info/e/a/title/Windows-Vista :-Running-the-Add-Hardware-Wizard /.

  Unfortunately, vacuums are very statically charge and their use within electronic devices is usually not a good idea. It is very possible that the discharges of static electricity has damaged your iMac.

  I hope that you unplugged the iMac before cleaning. Make sure that the iMac is reconnected.

  Hold the Apple store nearest to the assessment of the iMac.
