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

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.

  • I was wondering if there was a limit to the AMOUNT of files (not size) that I could transfer at the same time?

    Hey there, I was wondering if there was a limit to the AMOUNT of files (not size) that I could transfer at the same time? usually I go abou 40K files of external references on a regular basis, I would like to know if there is a limit to this (80K maybe?, or one does not exist?)

    Thank you

    Original title: Maximum file transfer

    Hi Chad,

    Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community forums.

    Looks like you need more information on the transfer of the files of more than 80 k to external devices.

    1. have you tried to send files over 40 k?

    2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    There is no practical limitation on the number of files that can be transferred from one computer to external devices. Although there is no file transfer limit depends on several factors, first externally you use, the memory of the computer file system if it can retain enormous transfer rates.

    Hope this information helps. Get back to us if you have more queries about Windows.

  • Cannot import .mxf in PPCC2014, but can in CS6 on the same laptop computer... huh?

    Just bought a new Asus laptop.

    4710HQ-i7 CPU @ 2.50 GHz

    16 GB of ram

    64-bit Operation

    NVIDIA Geforce GTX860m

    I installed PPCC2014. I can't import files from a Canon XF300 .mxf. I CAN import them into CS6 on the same laptop computer.

    I've been editing, .mxf files on my desktop to the PP years and for the last year on CC2014

    I tried to take the files, .mxf on the folder (which contains the .cif, .xml and .sif file) and import only and it does not work.

    The message I get is "not supported or damaged file."

    I tried to import by dragging and using import in the first.

    Someone knows what could happen?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    I came across this before. Seems that Premiere Pro is not properly enabled. I suggest the following:

    Sign out of the creative cloud app and exit (Quit option will be available after a few seconds).

    Now move the following folders on the desktop:

    (1) SLCache

    Windows: OS Lecteur\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe

    Mac: Adobe/Library/Application Support/Adobe


    (2) SLStore

    Windows: OS drive\ProgramData\Adobe

    Mac: Adobe/Library/Application Support/Adobe


    (3) OOBE

    Windows: OS Drive\\AppData\Local\Adobe Users\ directory

    Mac: /users / / Library/Application Support/Adobe


    Launch of Premiere Pro and sign in with your Adobe ID

    NOTE: Make sure that your Anti Virus/Firewall is blocking all the Adobe activation servers. Alternatively, you can also check your file "hosts" for any changes.

    If it does not help, I suggest you to runs the CC for Adobe apps cleaning tool to uninstall and reinstall: use of the cleaning tool CC to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6

  • How two different users using Lightroom on the same laptop?

    My wife and I have all two 5.7 Lightroom running on our desktop computers (both licenses). I installed it on my laptop. If my wife wants to use it on the same laptop (another user) how we do?

    He asks for a 'new' series number or actually attempted to enter the same serial number (sorry if you already answered this question).  It may be just trying to instantiate the application as a "first edition".  In fact, it can work with the same serial number that it will recognize that it is the same material and not a third facility.  If it gives you an error, I'd get this time in contact with a Support Adobe technique for registration by chat or phone issues.
