Is clickfree a good hard drive from the outside.

I want to buy an external drive hard to back up some files. Has anyone owned this product and will give me a note.

External hard drives more don't need any software to use just like external hard drives.  Very few would have need of all these software, in fact.

Some have software to do other things - such as if they have their own backup applications you can use (can't) or they have another fancy software that allows you to perform a variety of other things.  The software is on the drive itself, or can easily be downloaded from the Internet.  CD/DVD is ideal for long term storage and should be used as such-, but is almost unnecessary today * once you have an operating system on the computer *.

  • Cannot physically remove the hard drive from the Pavilion dv4-1430us

    The disk hard origianal in this Pavilion dv4-1430us makes mechanical noises, so I will try to replace it with a new one.  I checked the owner's manual supplied with the dv4-1430us, and it gives these instructions (here condensed): 1) remove the power cord and disconnect the battery, 2) remove the hd plastic cover, 3) remove three screws of hard drive now the hd casing in place and 4) pull hard hd tab to the left then go out.

    The problems are: A) there is no hard drive to draw labels, and B) after you remove the three screws, can't do the hd if I push on it to move to the right or remove it from the left.  I don't want to use tools like screwdriver large flat blade or bars of little Crow because it seems like that would probably break something.  Does anyone know how to remove the hard drive of this particular model without breaking something?

    HaggisCat,

    Thanks for a very detailed and quick response.  It turns out the indications that I read in the manual, your statements and mine were all in line to exert a force on the hard drive in the direction indicated by the red arrow on your image.  (A picture is worth a thousand words and your supplied photo clarity that my summary of instructional text has not.)  I decided to take a picture of the entire hard drive in my dv4-1430us (see below) to show that there is no close tab Mylar pull, as there is on the photo you condition.   (The same gray metal tab that appears in your photo, but no mylar tab).

    Apparently my dv4-1430us had some differences at its Assembly of HD compared to yours.  As you can see, the structural elements that surround the HD are very similar to those of your photo, but there is no narrow mylar like in your photo tag.  There is a dark mylar or similar film plastic on top of my HD, and there is a triangle of silver color at the bottom right of this film that points in the same direction as your red arrow.  I tried lifting up the end of this film, mylar and pulling that direction (to the right in this picture), but a part of it (in the upper right corner of this photo) began to tear.  As the film seems to only be glued on the top edge of the caddy HD (also called frame or cage in some articles), I doubted that the show was strong enough to eliminate the stress of a closed winching.  A comrade who has put a video on YouTube showing this procedure also indicated that he had torn this layer of film when he first attempted to remove the HD.  Because I assume that the dark film has a purpose (static protection?)  I gave up shooting at the right edge of the film.

    However the consistency of the instructions in the manual, the instructions on this YouTube video and instructions in your answer on the direction in which the Assembly needed to move HD gave me the courage to put a force pushing the HD in the direction of your red arrow.  To do this, I placed the tip of a flat blade screwdriver large (blade about 5/16 "wide) at the points indicated at the ends of the two yellow arrows in my picture.  In these positions, the blade of screwdriver pushed against the HD box and not the hard drive itself.  Each of these two places, I gave him some very closed but controlled scrimmages, and HD finally moved in the direction of your red arrow as it is supposed to.  I then lifted all of the HD and replaced the HD without incident.

    The action drag the new HD in place was much easier that it was removing the original HD for the first time.  It was perhaps because of some hard rubber padding that has been placed on each side of the original HD assembly that makes for a very tight fit.

    I hope that this description is useful for others who do not have used mylar tab in their computers laptops dv4 and those whose HD assemblies are very tight in.  Thanks again for your quick response that gave me enough comfort to move forward.

  • Photo date change during transfer to external hard drive from the "Photos" application

    Hello

    When I try to transfer the images to my request for 'Photo' on my Macbook (OS X Yosemite) to a hard drive external, the dates and times of the images change.

    I would like to transfer only some of my images on the hard drive, so I can't make time machine.

    Is it possible to keep the dates and hours of original photos when copying them?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Select the photos and export (menu, file == > export)-this will include the Photo with date and time metadata in EXIF/IPTC fields for use by any porgram Photo (you can check this by using Preview)-as you create new files file metadata will obviously be new but we can't change the photo metadata

  • Restore Vista Premum (32-bit edition) for the new hard drive from the laptop when original disks are lost?

    Hello

    I'm trying to upgrade from my son's laptop computer and want to replace the current drive with a much larger.

    It is running Vista Home premium Edition (32 bit) and he lost his records came with the laptop: I can do?  I bought Windows 7 Upgrade and a disk hard sata 500 GB, but I need to get Vista on the new drive before Windows 7 readers.

    I backed up the data using Windows Easy Transfer for issue restores the operating system.

    Please note that this is a laptop, I can only have a hard drive up both and I don't know how to get the operating system to the new blank disc? I can create a recovery on a DVD disc / C or something Vista or a 3rd party utility?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Contact the manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition and if it can create recovery discs.  If so, create the recovery disks and you will be able to use them to restore the system to factory conditions once you have installed the new drive (but you may need to install the new Vista compatible drivers for the new drive as the recovery disks can have only those for the old disk).  Otherwise, contact the manufacturer and get a set of recovery (at a modest price) discs and use them to restore the system to the conditions of the plant on the new drive.  When we talk to them, confirm that their recovery process allows you to install new drivers for the new drive hard during the process and exactly how do (or it doesn't work - so be sure to check it out).  We cannot help you with recovery of the manufacturer process as it their not Microsoft.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • If I downloaded photos on my iphone on my hard drive from the desktop computer, can I remove iphoto library without deleting them on the hard drive?

    I received the message that my iphone storage is almost full.  It is mainly from photos and videos.  I deleted the videos and have uploaded my photos on my hard drive of computer desk top of the page (which is a Dell non Apple products).  Can I now enter into the iphoto library and delete photos without losing those I downloaded on my desktop computer.  If so, how do I?  Thank you D

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

  • Too big for the hard drive from the photo library

    My iMac has two internal drives - a hard drive of 250 in the solid state and a disk of 1 TB of data.  I am trying to import about 80 GB of photos. To be able to access on my other devices Apple iCloud, I know, they must be on the HARD DISK, but I don't have enough room due to the large number of iTunes files already there. Is there a solution to this? I wish I could share all my photos between the office, the iPhone and the iPad. Thank you.

    Launch of iPhoto, Aperture, or Photos with down option, create a library on the external hard drive, and if you use pictures, set it as the system library. The volume used to store the must be in Mac OS Extended format.

  • format a hard drive from the old computer

    I got a hard drive of 250 GB desktop a replaced albums which I now use as an extra external hard drive.  Externally has never been formatted since the abduction and there are several files that have been transferred to the new office.  Now, I bought a new laptop and want to upgrade the laptop older to Windows 7 and place the existing files on the external hard drive before moving on to Windows 7.  I have prepared a complete upwards of the portable external hard disk plus however, the player is now almost complete with backup and previous files still there.  How can I simply reformat the hard disk to free up space for the old high tower files before moving the old laptop with W7?  I understand I will lose the backup in the formatting and you will need to save again.  Thsanks for assistance.

    I decided to try to launch the format on my desktop instead of laptop.  The format was successful.  Thanks for the suggestions so.

  • How to change the hard drive from the slave to master drive?

    Original title: drives hard slave to master, how.

    I try to use an external hard drive carrier to download my data files on my laptop. One worked as a data file. The second and third would not show.
    They can be slaves, so how can I change the masters so that I can download them?

    If the suggestion to use disk management doesn't help you, please explain what you mean by "first' and 'second and third."  You have several hard drives, multiple partitions on a single physical disk, or just several files?

    Also explain in detail the steps you take to 'download' (i.e., transfer) the files to your laptop.

    Status 'Master' and 'slave' is not applicable to your situation.

  • How can I wipe old hard drive from the laptop of computer death without jeopardizing the new laptop?

    I got a laptop HP who died - apparently the motherboard is bad.  I have to return the laptop to HP for replacement.  I bought equipment to connect the old hard drive to my new laptop via a USB cable and have recovered files that I need, but I want to erase the old drive hard until I got back.

    There seems to be a lot of variation in the hard drive, programs wiping, and I was wondering if someone could point me to one that could fit here.  I am concerned about the running software on my work to access the old hard drive and accidentally damage my portable hard drive to work laptop.  Who is?

    Thanks for the tips.

  • remove the hard drive from the a1112n Pavilion

    I want to delete my old HP hard drive and replace it and need some guideance step by step to do. Any help would be appreciated.

    Again, it is another question.

    (1) If you do not rely on the maintenance of this machine, just pull the hard drive and it has to break.

    (2) If you just want to delete sensitive data, it becomes more delicate with a profane.  The best scenerio is delete the data files, then you transfer files small image and these will write in the previous blocks. Then you remove the small images and then randomly to download the same or slightly larger. Finally, you write too the blocks where the data has been written.

    (3) otherwise, move you all your photos, files, word, music and other data files to a USB key. Then reformat with the installation of WIndows XP CD set (these 11 cd I mentioned).

    (4) probably (as my friend pointed out this reading) you're a layman.  Any student would be probably able to help.
