Import Favorites to I.E. 8 of the file on the hard drive

I have a new vista hp m9715f pc. I transferred my "Favorites" files from my old pc (dell xp) to new pc. on the new pc I open i.e.8, click the 'Add to Favorites', click on 'import & export', Import Wizard opens, click on "Import Favorites", click on "Import from file", in the window enter the path of the file to the folder 'Favorites', click 'next', I get an error message to choose another file. I don't understand what I am doing wrong?

Then I try the same process with a single file instead of the entire file and it seems to go through all the steps but at the end of the file is not transferred via. can someone tell me what is the problem?

I'd appreciate any help

Thanks in advance

Dave

If your old favorites are the .url files (as they exist in the Favorites folder), you can simply move them to your new favorites using Windows Explorer folder,

like all other files.

  • XP is not start properly, important data files on the hard drive, location unknown such as e-mail addresses, individual emails and favorite links on Internet Explorer. The system is damaged irreparably, what is the solution?

    I need ideas to solve this problem.

    You can retrieve the data without being able to get into Windows. The methods described require a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself best, and if a better course of action would be to take the machine to a local professional with a good reputation instead. If you choose to do, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

    1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

    2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

    You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

    * If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it- http://www.pendrivelinux.com

    Recovery of DNG issue: I have photos stored on an external hard drive which have previously been imported into Lightroom and converted to DNG.  The laptop on which I was running Lightroom died and I had to replace the hard drive and rebuild the computer.  In the process of my Lightroom program and catalog related to these images have been lost.  When I re-associate these photos with my new installation of Lightroom and a new catalogue is there a way to retrieve the keywords or other changes or metadata catalogue Mountaga?  Is any of this information embedded with the imge DNG file or was it only in the cataloght lost on my failing hard drive? I re-import just as if it were new images with no prior treatment of Lightroom?

    By default, LR saves all changes in the catalog, and that applies to any type of file.

    Optionally, you can save changes to the file as well, for raw files owners, this will create a xmp file - for DNG that changes are going to be cooked in the file, without additional xmp file.

    But it does not default. Go to the catalog and parameters under the control of metadata automatically save changes to XMP.

    Unless you do this, the changes are saved only in the catalog.

    Hope this makes things clearer.

  • I can't import pictures into LR 5 of the hard drive on Macbook pro Maverick.

    It's weird.

    Suggest you to reset the preferences of Lightroom.

    Before that, go to Lightroom > catalog settings > General and make a note of the location, so that you know where your main catalog is stored.

    Then, follow these instructions:

    1. exit the Lightroom program

    2. open Finder

    3. click on menu go (top) and type ~/library and click Go.

    4. open the Preferences folder

    5. rename the file com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist in com.adobe.Lightroom5 - old.plist

  • Portege R200 - how to replace the HARD drive

    Fundamental questions about the Toshiba Portege R200 (purchased model birthday Thailand August 2005) are:
    (1) Please provide instructions to remove the hard drive (non-functional) (illustrations if possible)
    (2) model has enough space inside for hard drive 2.5 inch? (Impossible to locate 1.8 inches and below, to get the results of [expensive] calls to Toshiba - of interest only)

    Background:
    (1) while 3 years warranty in force I trecked (expensive) of Malaysia in Bangok (where to buy) at the headquarters of Toshiba (if you know Bangkok taxi drivers, you'll know what a test or going around in circles and the nonsense in the fire that was)... Toshiba agreed HD vibrating but reported would take 3 to 10 weeks to get the HD replacement (!?)
    (2) I was a few weeks later to the r - u (to tie)... They told me they couldn't help; I "should contact my provider...". This is an Asian model, in Europe, we cannot... etc etc.
    (3) a week later the HD has no
    (4) I contacted Toshiba but they told me the warranty expired 7 days before...
    (5) since this time I phoned and was put on hold for Toshiba in the region of London (several times), Singapore (3 times), Thailand (well, if you know how it goes, say-no more, shots of elbow-boost)...

    I got nowhere. But were invited by the media to bring it to the headquarters of Thai (yet)... It's all right, I'll book a flight and hotel etc now, shouldn't cost all that much more than the computer cost me initially...

    Oh, another thing, not very important: to help out me, I bought a lighter machine at Toys R us... 300 quid... for the love of antiquity I always want to get the old dog to this shiny Silver Anniversary edition slim R200 works again...
    I have a 2.5 "HD available (recond and costs all 9 quid in Brummagem) but before I destroy the old R200 dog by ineptitude... (and lost to carefree annoyance no assistance of Toshiba)... and/or on how to remove HD, please?

    Hello

    I have seen words about your question.
    AFAIK the R200 was equipped with the utility of the HARD disk protection. It is a feature to reduce the risk of damage to the HARD disk.
    Using the acceleration sensor built into the computer drive HARD protection detect vibrations, shocks and sings in the computer and automatically moves the HDD Head somewhere course, in order to reduce the risk of damage.
    But this function does not ensure that the HARD drive will not damage! It reduces the risk of damage!

    However, the HARD drive can be removed very easily.
    At the bottom of the unit, you will find the HARD drive Bay. It s close to the battery (on the left).
    You need to remove two screws to get access to the HARD disk 1.8.

    PS: You can use disks hard only 1.8. The 2.5 hard drives are not compatible.
    I discovered that you can use a TOSHIBA 60GB 4,200 rpm 1.8 HDD HDD1544BZK01

  • Equium A60-692 - no power and removing the HARD drive

    The power has gone on my A60-692, the adapter is ok but there is just no no LED on the laptop. I had to get replaced a few years ago so maybe it is related to that of the power connector.

    I took to a local repair place, he said, it would cost more to fix this, so I should really find it useful laptop only think about recover my data.

    Is it really so hard to fix these things?
    How hard is it to make the hard drive out, & how would then access down my data?

    Thank you
    Dave

    Hello

    > I took to a local repair place, he said, it would cost more to fix this, so I should really find it useful laptop only think about recover my data.
    I agree with the authorized service provider. My personal opinion is that it s a malfunction of the motherboard and it is a very expensive part. Besides, Equium A60 is pretty old model so it would be better buy you a new laptop and recover your data.

    > How difficult is it to make the hard drive out, & how would then access down my data?
    It of not difficult, but I m really wondering why you need access to these data. You don t have a backup? In my opinion the backup is the most important thing you need to do on a computer.
    Anyway, normally on the underside of your laptop there is a HARD drive cover which is guaranteed by one or two screws. You must remove this cover and then you can see the HARD drive and you're able to remove it.
    Also buy an external HARD drive enclosure where you can install the HARD drive. Then you can connect it to another computer to back up your data. ;)

  • Equium M70 - what does average rpm in case the HARD drive?

    Hello

    I'm currently looking to buy a hard drive but don't know which means that the number of rounds, IE is it better to have a higher or lower rpm file?

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    RPM refers to the rotation of the head per minute.
    It's the speed of the HARD drive the faster the head rotates faster HARD drive can write and read data from the disk.

    Usually the 7200 RPM is a very good report, so if you are looking for a HARD drive then I recommend you buy the HARD drive supporting this speed but this value is not very important for the performance of the laptop everything is good to have, but not very necessary. You know

  • Satellite C660D - 1 3 - How to remove the HARD drive password?

    So, my laptop is unrecoverly dead ;(
    (Toshiba Satellite C660D - 1-3)
    but the HARD drive still works (Toshiba HDD2L04 320)
    the problem is, I protected with a password that I can not turn off.

    I have the password, I could also save all my important files to an old crappy HP laptop running.

    But now I'd like to use it as an external drive, I can't as long as it is protected (I tried a few PC, nothing worked).

    When I try to disable it in the BIOS of the old HP, it asks me on a second password, a password for the master user... but I've never had one in my Toshiba :/

    What now? What I have to go to a store and try an another Toshiba or is it a tool to disable the password of windows or linux?

    Hello

    Unknown HARD disk password can not be removed... even the authorized service provider Toshiba will not be able to remove this password disk HARD unknown.
    In this case, the HARD drive will be useless

  • Qosmio G50 - repair windows from the HARD drive

    Hi all

    My laptop - QOSMIO G50 - needs a bit of cleanup, and I thought to reinstall from scratch.

    I know that I can use the "repair" function which is 'hidden' on the HARD drive that will get the pc to its original installation.

    But I have a few questions.

    1. I've upgraded to Windows 7 quite earlier. But if the built-in repair feature reinstalls the pc for initial installation, I guess I'll be back on VISTA and will need to upgrade to WIN7 manually?

    2. most important: when I got the laptop, the seller had installed, so when I started, the installation begins. Then, I had the choice to install the 32-bit version or 64-bit.
    I never expected to have 64-bit on the laptop so I chose 32-bit - and now I regret it enormously.
    Now, if doing so clean reinstall from the HARD disk, it will give me a choice between 64-bit or 32-bit new or if it simply with the 32-bit version, I chose the first time? Or can I do something else for you ensure that I get the 64-bit installed this time?

    Thank you.

    Lio

    Hey,.

    Important to know would be if you want to install Vista or Windows 7 now...

    If you want to do a clean install of new, repair function is also deleted or let's say the entire contents of the HARD drive if you reinstall Windows recovery disk Toshiba.

    Some laptops has been equipped with a function for 32-bit and 64-bit, and if you reinstall Vista from Toshiba recovery disc you will again have this option.

    ?? and install windows 7

    I have a compaq presario V6000

    Just use the W7 installation disc to clean the disc. I always recommend what he got rid if Vista entirely. In this way there is no chance of getting errors because you're from "unallocated space" as if you put in a new hard drive of bran. Do the usual and create recovery disks in case you go back to Vista and of course to back up all your personal stuff to be reinstalled later.

    There is also a file on drive "C" called SwSetup which you must save it. Here are your drivers for Vista which will work in W7 and most importantly is the software that will not have the W7 installation disc, such as Microsoft Works, and I'm guessing that Cyberlink DVD suite. It is a very useful file.

    Once, you save all the things I said, then go for the clean installation. You will have less problems in the end.

    Here's a good tutorial on how to do a clean install of Cheryl. There a screen shot too.

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/Windows-7-clean-install-part-1.htm

    After installation, the first driver you want to load is your video card driver.

    I took a quick glance and there is no drivers for your model in W7, but like I said your Vista drivers should work fine.

    If this does not work you can always roll back to Vista with your recovery of the disc that I asked you to do.
