• Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

  I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

  Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

  If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

  You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

  New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

  • \USERS\\Desktop\
  • \USERS\\Downloads\
  • \USERS\\Favorites\
  • \USERS\\Documents\
  • \USERS\\Music\
  • \USERS\\Pictures\
  • \USERS\\Videos\

  ... etc...

  Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

• How to transfer files from the old hard drive to a disc new hard, old hard disk has been removed?

  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.

• Retrieve files from the old hard drive

  I have an old desktop pc that was running windows xp. I started the upgrade to vista but lost the product key and never managed to get a new one. There is an error message when I try to start the pc. Im not interested to fix it, but I want to get some files off the hard drive (mainly of music). Currently, I have a laptop running windows 7 and I was wondering if it was possible to connect the hard drive of the PC to my mobile (as an external drive) and recover my media files. Is this possible with the upgrade failed, if so what would I need to do?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Perhaps, but without knowing exactly what you were doing to the old drive I can't guarantee success.

  You can buy an external enclosure for your old hard drive that will turn it into a USB drive. You will need to remove the hard drive from your old computer and insert it into the caddy. Before buying the caddy, determine the type of your old hard drive (PATA or SATA) and make sure you buy the correct caddy. PATA hard drives have a very wide (5cm) data compared to SATA cable (less than 1 cm).

  If your old PATA drive, I would recommend making sure that the jumpers are positioned for the reader as a "master". There should be a diagram on the hard drive, informs you of the jumper configuration. I met a few caddies who were sensitive to the riders 'cable select' or 'slave', i.e. did not work with these settings.

  Once you have connected the caddy via the USB port, no data on this subject should be available via a drive letter.

• Transfer of files from the old HARD DRIVE to new computer without an old computer. (He's dead - can not use) I have the hard drive, but need help to transfer my old files and settings.

  ·        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:

  You 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.

• 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 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

• I deleted a file from my portable hard drive, can I get it back?

  I deleted a file from my portable hard drive, I need help to get it back?

  First stop using your portable player as your deleted folder is now considered to be unallocated space and can be replaced by new data. This would then make your chances of recovering your file much less likely.

  First check your trash. If it is not there then...

  There are some free and paid for recovery software. Just Google.

  If there are companies that specialize in data recovery. This would be an expenditure of significabt, but would probably be to maximize your chances. It depends on your expertise & how data is important for to know you which way you want to choose.

  One last point if your data is important, be sure to have a backup plan in place. Having your important data in one place requires trouble.

• I can unzip software xp from my old hard drive and cd keys etc?

  Seems unfair that I would have to pay for the same software over and over again. XP

  I can unzip software xp from my old hard drive and cd keys etc.? I have probably 4-5. I'm sure that in time prove a less automated process for drivers, I recall. Suppose I could provide proof of purchase, cd key of certificate etc, so how can I get a cd of xp? the cost of quality? or better yet download?

  Hello
  You may be able to put the old disks in another system, activate by phone (unless they are OEM, in which case you will need to have the original material) then create an image of the operating system and move to any material you like. This isn't a guarantee that it will work and the process is not valid if your copy of Windows is retail. Regarding imaging software, XP does not come with one, so you will have to seek support 3 left.
