  Hello

  You cannot transfer the operating system from one hard disk to another. But you can use the backup utility to backup data and restore it on the new hard drive.

  If I had to format a hard drive, it will delete everythink including windows xp disk if yes I would be able to see all thinking when I turn on my computer, as if that were to happen I could use windows install for install windows xp

  Gaara_2k6,
  Welcome to the responses of the Forums.  The short answer to your questions are Yes and no and no.

  Depends on how you format the drive, it will delete everything on the drive.  Now, it may still be recoverable with a software specialist or moving to a data recovery company.

  If you formatted your hard drive you would not be able to start to do anything, because there would be nothing on the startup disk.  With the Windows XP CD or with the recovery media provided by the manufacturer of the PC is the only way to reinstall Windows.

• Windows 7 hard drive stolen when idle and during programs execution system

  I can hear my hard drive C beating away when my system is idle, and even though my system is running programs.

  Think it might be Firefox that uses the hard drive much - checked, uses the hd a little, but not more than usual, but I can still hear the hard drive clicking suite. So I close Firefox. Still ongoing.

  Tried to switch browsers Chrome, and even has a lot more use of the disk by cycle Firefox did. But no matter whether Chrome is open or not, I can still hear the beating of hard drive.

  Tried to use IE as my main browser, still no luck.

  I checked on the Windows Task Manager, but no 1 process shows a lot of the use of the disc. I tried then to resource monitor and 'System' appears at the top of the list of processes sorted by use of the disk. But there are a lot of sub-thingos (forgive my ignorance of jargon) ongoing enforcement under 'System', while originally the beating of disc?

  I disabled the process that has been suggested on the forums, without any change in the use of Windows Media network share drive.

  Then I saw a thread in which someone talked about disabling Marvell / RAID drivers remains other manufacturers (where the system has no installed RAID array) slow down its use of the disk.

  I have no RAID array on my PC either and noticed a Marvell driver under the heading 'System' using SysInternals Process Explorer.

  I also noticed that some other drivers stray, maybe one of them is originally the use of disk problem?

  It is terribly random - will start and continue for 30 to 40 minutes and then stop for hours, then start again.

  I don't think it's a virus, as I have Avast! and can use the shield of file to control what files Avast! analysis - strangely, although I hear the hard drive in use, Avast! does not pick up/scan all files that the disc is supposed to be using.

  Here are the various screenshots that I downloaded in the hope that someone can help me solve this problem of disk hard until it wears out and dies a lonely premature death: P - thanks

  I downloaded SysInternals Process Monitor of

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

  But the program is much more complex than Process Explorer and I have no idea how to use it.

  Can someone tell me please how to run a trace through the events that may help determine which of the processes analyzed in running process monitor is / are the ones that are causing high disk usage?

  An analysis more

  Restarted in safe mode (without network) and entered the resource (part of Windows 7) monitor and SysInternals Process Explorer (in Microsoft TechNet) to see if I could pinpoint the problem.

  All the time, I was in safe mode, the hard drive kept in fly! : O

  I started first of all resource monitor and saw that the 'system' with the PID of 4 remained the more intensive process of disk. Using the disc went from 100 KB/s to 1 MB/s as before when you are connected to Windows 7 normally.

  I also saw

  svschost (netsvcs),

  Svchost (secsvcs)

  Svchost (dcomlaunch)

  and like other processes

  wmiadap.exe

  wmiprvsv.exe appear. 2 wmi processes disappeared after a short while leaving svchost and remaining 'System '.

  I closed the resource monitor shot to the top of Process Explorer and found some weird-looking process:

  Under wmiprvsv.exe, there was a file called locale.nls, with no manufacturer name/description (unlike some other services/sys files having a "Microsoft Corporation" as their name)

  Under each of the svchost.exe process, out of all the files that have name descriptors (Microsoft Corporation), there was a little without name descriptors that caught my attention:

  A file that found in Windows/Globalization/Sorting/Sortdefault.nls

  A file called locale.nls (sorry don't remember the location of the file)

  A file that found in Windows/Registration/R00000000000.clb

  A file that found in Windows/System32/C_28591.nls

  All the files above with the exception of the R000000.clb one found in svchost, lsass and csrss.

  The R00000.clb file was found only in svchost.

  I noticed these files because they had no name description next to them - could all of the files I mentioned contribute to the problem of the use of disc?

  Hard drive stolen continues even after I Logout

  I have my own PC and use an administrator account (not the default "Administrator" account, but my own account with administrator privileges).

  I tried logging my regular account and another account limited, I have on the PC. Not only the disk thrashing hardcontinue while I was connected and on the screen of welcome,but he continued even after I had connected to the limited account.

  Weird Hey?

  No Lightroom does not use a different catalog.

  We discuss records, are we not? In the original catalog, you have a folder with one? mark, say C:\Photos, and you used your operating system to move it to F:\Photos. Lightroom has this record showing under the C:\ drive. As soon as you make the reconnection, Lightroom indicates the folder in the drive F:\.

  Oh, and is there a way to do all the files at once? or what I need to do one at a time?

  I want to install Windows 7 Professional.  I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?

  If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

  Windows 8 Pro supports up to 192 GB of RAM, but you should check the manufacturers Web site to find out how much your HP can support. You can also go to http://www.crucial.com and use System Monitor to determine how much is supported.

  At present, the only edition that you can buy an upgrade license is upgraded Windows 8 Pro, so there is no other choice.

• Windows stops and restarts each time I login, the last thing I did was partition the hard drive

  I upgraded my hard drive because I needed more space.  At first, I put the same settings as the original drive.  C is the primary drive and D is the HP recovery disk.  There is apparently a small partition that windows uses, but does not have a drive letter.  I left all sizes even.  This has left me a large part of the unallocated disk.

  With the help of Partition Master, I created a major score that I use for music, photos, documents, etc.  At the time I did, I got an external hard drive connected.  He was assigned as drive F and I created the new partition as G:.

  Shortly after this, my computer crashed and restarted.  When I log in, it says that windows has recovered from a serious error.  It plugs along for a little while and then did the same thing again and again and again.

  It doesn't gives me a lot of other information that means something to me.  If I click on the Details button for the information it sends to Microsoft if I want to report that it has a bunch of gibberish, but I'm sure that it wants to say something to someone.  I'll try to copy the next time it hangs after as I write this.

  I ejected the disk external and changed the drive letter on my new partition to F.  I can't believe that's going to do something, but I thought that maybe the partitions on the drive must be in order (of course, I'll try anything).

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  Hello

  You can follow this link & check if the problem persists.

  A "System has recovered from a serious error" message after every restart.
