Install the new SATA drive and the primary drive Clone which he

After reading many messages from hard drive yesterday and the manual for my Dimension 4600, I bought a Western Digital 250 GB SATA internal drive which will become the secondary drive through Dell. My first is a 40 GB with 14 GB of free space. I am a student of site design Web and must use Adobe Creative Suite CS3, including PhotoShop, Dreamweaver, etc., which is a huge program. Technology Department told me that I could load the program Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on the new secondary drive and my images and other Documents which I will use to create Web sites for school. I could load MicroSoft Office 2007 as well if it is a good idea.

What is a reasonable secondary use of a hard drive?  Is this a good practice? Benefits; Disadvantages?

If the primary drive fails in the future, it is possible to just load Windows XP, etc on the new secondary disk at this time and the report on? Or I need to remove Adobe Creative Suite, MicroSoft Office, my pictures, etc., before I could load the operating system? I have a 60 GB external USB drive for backup of Documents and Settings.

Dell Dimension 4600 (Pentium 4 CPU 2 .8GHz, memory 3 GB RAM) running MS Windows Home XP, SP 3.

Any other good suggestions for the use of a Seconday drive in my case?

  • After installing a new HARD drive, I get a screen "control i to access the configuration utility.

    Help?

    I installed a new HARD drive on my xps 15 because the old drive crashed. Everything works fine and the system boots perfectly. Before entering the Dell splash screen, the screen "control i to access the configuration utility" appears for 5 seconds. After that, the normal boot sequence resumes. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do about it?

    Here is a link to the screen I get started: http://s102.photobucket.com/user/alexcinie/media/photo_zpsb75f0a7f.jpg.html

    The mSATA drive is used as a cache for the hard drive dynamic - these are essentially implemented in a RAID 0 array.  See the link below (it is for Alienware, but applies to your system as well).

    If you want to keep the disk cache, you need to configure the array as shown.

I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?

    Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.

    Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.

    Hey rcfball66

    You can always buy a gateway vista recovery disk to reinstall vista back to the factory with the new drive settings

    They provide at a nominal cost

    manufacturers of hard drive normally supplies free software to their Web sites for the movement of the operating systems of the old hard drive to the new hard disk cloning you buy home

    You can also use programs third 3rd to do this, or upgrade Vista Home Basic vista full for pc full upward

    but you can normally buy 3rd party programs

    read below information about such a program

  • Windows blocked key after installing a new video card and hard drive.

    I got a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit edition since the early release, purchased through Newegg. Since then, I used it on my desktop, which I update regularly. I changed the hard drives, processors and cards video several times and reactivated without a problem, but this last Friday, I installed a new video card and the DSS, and when I went to activate windows told me that my key was blocked without any explanation. I can only assume that this is because I changed my hardware configuration. My copy of windows remained only on this computer over the years. Here are the results of MGADiag running on my system.

    If there is any question about the legitimacy of my copy, I have the DVD, booklet, cases, cardboard sleeve he shipped initially and purchase of invoices from Newegg on the spot.

  • If I do not support until my MBP before installing a new hard drive...

    Very quick question:

    If I don't support my hard drive before installing a new hard drive, SSD, the MBP (early 2011) "know" download all the OS X software appropriate and that sort of thing? I guess my question is: is the part of the hard drive of the same hard drive recovery? Or on a separate physical disk.

    I don't have a time machine, and it would probably be easier to start from scratch.

    Thank you!

    If your computer comes with 10.6.8 or earlier and did not have its updated firmware updated to use Internet Apple system recovery, it is only on the internal drive. Otherwise, separate recovery methods are in the firmware and the drive internal.
