is it legal to clone the drive HARD w / OS and other s/w

Hello

I came across some software which clone HARD drive.

Does go against the terms and conditions to copy / clone hard drive to keep a backup copy.

Not as far as I know. I and many other Members here do as a regular security. I have pictures saved on external USB hard drive. There are a lot of apps that do this. The best known commercial applications are Acronis True Image & Ghost.

Two highly rated free apps are >

  • IS does not recognize the drive HARD internal

    I have three, all from a school lab, that have been linked with other positive points and printers.

    They are connected are not together anymore.

    All three have a floppy drive and a HARD drive. Will only boot from the HARD drive.

    At startup, the other two do not recognize their HARD drive and I use ea disk with the system in this regard.

    Since hard drives are not 'seen' I am unable to do anything with them: fix, set up as a boot drive, etc.

    They begin with the usual chimes and the Mac with the question mark, I slip the disk in and they complete commissioning.

    The internal drive spin up and the indicator light flashes.

    They do not show the drive HARD internal on the screen, but will show an external.

    I haven't started to swap parts between the good and the other two.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to activate an invisible HARD drive?

    You will need to use the boot floppy disks to start the machines to run the repair disk, partition and format the HARD drive if it is still functional. Only then can you install Mac OS on the HARD drive. That's all that I remember.

  • Re: Satellite L555 11 L: BIOS indicates the drive HARD is not installed, BOOT Manager said HDD

    Hello!

    I had problems with my Toshiba laptop.

    When I tried to boot my system after a regular stop it does not recognize the HARD drive more.
    BIOS indicates the drive HARD is not installed, the said BOOT Disk Manager failed.

    Tried the HARD drive to a desktop computer and it works fine. This is not a new HDD SATA is recognized.
    However, the boot sequence itself and other functions seem to be ok.

    Who is wrong?
    The laptop is 1.5 years old and didn't have any problems before.

    Any help is appreciated ;)

    Hello

    It seems that the HARD drive is damaged.
    In your case the drive HARD test would be recommended.

    Download the software called Drive Fitness Test. It the free tool that can be used for the test of HARD drive.
    If the HARD drive is not detected or you will get errors, then it means that you HARD drive needs to be replaced and OS need to be installed again.

  • Internal and external drives hard. Vista and XP recognizes the limits? The partitions ok?

    Hello. I had a few questions. It focuses on internal and external HDD. I have Vista and XP. I read a bit of info I would like to shed some light on.

    I watched an external HARD disc. A Western Digital 2 to My Book Studio Edition II external HARD drive, USB 2.0 / FireWire 800 / eSATA. In the end what he says:

    The system configuration required

    • Available USB port, FireWire 800 or 400 port, port eSATA or eSATA adapter card
    • Mac OS X 10.5.2 10.4.10+, +.
    • Windows 2000/XP/Vista
      Note: the 4 TB version works with Windows® Vista only. Windows 2000/XP do not support hard drives with capacities above 2 TB.

    I guess it's true. So: If someone were to buy a 4 TB model: can you even plug the drive in Windows XP and then partition it in two? Or will it give errors or not be recognized?

    What about Windows 7? I guess it's more advanced than Vista. Obviously.

    I am looking for 3 Tb + internal and external HARD drive. I can not find them. I ' v looked on the websites Seagates and Western Digital, Future Shop and Best Buy, local stores, etc. Maybe I missed them. I think I can start to see well for the holiday season.

    Thank you.

    I don't think that there may be a problem with xp sp3. I don't know with vista sp2 and 7 should work for you.

    BIOS update is also important.

  • is it possible to see EVERY folder and file that exists on the drive hard on one screen and in one place just as you could do in much older versions.

    OK... so I had an accident and there was good and bad news... the good news is that I was able to get it started and running "Save", but the bad news is that instead of giving a new image system clean (as I expected), I had a bunch of random pictures and other unimportant things and many important things seems lost but I think that its still all somewhere.

    now... to the front sometimes there was a windows program called "windows explorer" that would put all folders and all files that was on the hard drive on a single screen, and you can search through them.    When I shoot to the top of the Explorer windows on win 7, I get a page with a bunch of files minor that some things in them, but not what I see already...

    so... my question is simply "is it possible to see EACH file and a file that exists on the drive hard on one screen and in one place just as you do in earlier versions.    I did some research and went thru records that he will show me but I explicitly want is to see EACH file and folder that exists on one screen...

    is it possible in win 7?   and if so, how, please

    Steven

    Steve,

    Are you talking about the Windows Search function?

    In Windows Explorer, open the top-level folder that you want to watch in [C:\Users\yourusername\Documents or whatever it is you want] then look in the upper right area - there is a white box to the right of the address bar.  This is the search box.  Type * and then pause and it lists all the files in this top-level folder down through its subfolders.

    You can find more information about using Windows Search in

    Have installed Photoshop CS4. Replaced the drive hard and now I get error code 150:30. What should I do to get it working again

    Migration of CS4 breaks the license. That's what 150:30 means. Assuming you are using a Mac.

    You can use the Terminal method to repair the license... but I stress that carefully read you and understand the instructions here before you run it. beginning

    If this isn't what you want to do, you have to reinstall.

  • I try to install vista on a computer running xp. XP does not even recognize the vista disc is in the drive. XP recognizes any other drive that I use and the vista drive is recognized on other computers, that I put it in it's not a prob with the disk or cd

    I try to install vista on a computer running xp. XP does not even recognize the vista disc is in the drive. XP recognizes any other drive that I use and the vista drive is recognized on other computers, that I put it in it's not a prob with the disk or cd rom

    The Vista installation disc is a DVD. Apparently, you don't have a DVD player. You would need to purchase/install a DVD-ROM or DVD - RW to install Vista. Are you sure that your hardware supports Vista before doing this?

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/get/system-requirements.aspx
    Even if a minimum of 1 GB, the requirements in the real world Vista requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM to run without problem. You will also need Vista drivers for all your hardware.
