• swapping hard drives between 8115-PXI and PXI-8105 won't boot to the top

  I have a test system running Windows XP on the PXI-8105.  I have upgraded the full test for another project system and upgrade my existing systems; the upgrade works on Windows 7 and PXI-8115.  I have Windows 7 and the new test software of new hard drives that have been loaded/configured/tested on a PXI-8115, but I need to modernize the PXI-8105 with them.  It does not work.  Windows begins to start, but fails and trying over and over again.  In order to make the PXI-8105 offline to troubleshoot, I replaced it with the PXI-8115 and the old disk (WinXP).  It did not start, either.

  Here is a summary of my situation:

  • An old a PXI-8105 system running Windows XP
  
  
  • A new system has PXI - 8115 Win7 running
  
  
  • A hard drive (with Win7) since the PXI-8115 does not start on the PXI-8105
  
  
  • A hard drive (with WinXP) since the PXI-8105 does not start on the PXI-8115

  What is different between two controllers PXI that prevents me to swap hard drives?

  A technician with 'the knack' discovered a device driver conflict.  We have removed this driver and Windows was able to use a generic driver to start correctly.  Bob's my uncle.

• I need to back up an entire hard drive, XP and all

  I replaced a strong record for my neighbor and found myself in a strange position. I need to back up the entire hard drive, so I can replace it with a larger, but cannot start on this disc (when its in my computer) because of a BSOD. I can start in my regular reader (the one I normally use in my computer) and browse the disk I'm trying to backup with no problems. I tried to use Norton Ghost, but when I try to boot from the new drive, I get an error and cannot continue. That I can use that backs up the entire disk, including Windows XP and all the files and allow me to boot from it?

  4ndyC2D,
  Microsoft didn't offer not any type of disc for XP Imaging tool.  At this point, you will need to use a 3rd party program to accomplish the task.

• Authentication of computers 2 after swapping hard drives

  My processor of the computer crashed while I bought 2 genuine 2 retailers refurbished Dell computers.  I confirmed the authentication with Dell.  A computer was XP Pro and the other had Windows 7 with 7 offices to help retailers OEM licenses.  They both have been authenticated by SM.  After bringing home PC, I swapped hard drives.  How (if possible) I authenticate these while MS recognizes and updates?

  What you did is not possible. Windows and Office OEM versions live and die on the computer on which they are first installed. OEM licenses are not transferable.

• I have PS4 on my MacBook Pro. I had to reinstall Yosemite, so I backed up on external hard drive. I can't make it work now. Any advice?

  I have PS4 on my MacBook Pro. I had to reinstall Yosemite, so I backed up on external hard drive. I can't make it work now.

  Any advice on what to do?

  And there it is. Photoshop CS4 migration breaks the license that gives you the error 150:30.

  You do not want to reinstall Photoshop CS4 on your disks and perform the updates.

• TM is not back up My external hard drive - or is it?

  Hey all:

  I have a MBP late 2011 under OS X 10.10.5.  I use an external hard drive with a partition called TM1 for time machine and I also have an external drive, called "Movie_Storage" which is basically just for iMovie infinity that I don't have the space on my drive internal.

  I'm "seeding" a new database of time machine on a new drive and he completed the first backup of the internal drive without any problems.  I then plugged the disc "Movie_Storage" and confirmed that this disk is NOT in the list of exceptions in the TM preferences pane.  I then let him back up again.  There is a lot of data on that drive, so it took several hours to complete, but there, apparently without any problem.

  Now that everything is done, open the drop down at the top and click on "enter Time Machine".  In the tree on the left, the "Movie_Storage" drive appears as it should.  To test things, I then go out TM, eject "Movie_Storage" and enter again TM.  I scrolling backwards in time to make sure that I am actually in a backup.  The "Movie_Storage" no longer appears in the tree.

  So I open a Finder window and navigate in the TM database.  When I'm in a backup, indeed, there is a folder called "Movie_Storage", and its size corresponds to the size of the content of the "Movie_Storage" (about 800 GB) disc.  Yet, I can't navigate it in the interface of TM if the drive is not connected.  Why not?

  Of course, if the original drive "Movie_Storage" dies, I will seek to restore my backup TM on a new drive.  If I can't see it in TM without the original disk is connected, it is a problem.  Advice?

  Thank you!

  The TM interface requires the thus mounted drive you can choose files to restore. You cannot select files from the TM drive itself in the interface of TM.

  You can view the files manually in the finder to see, so you know they are there. You can mount the external hard drive and test it in disk utility to see if you can select restore from.

• How do I back up to external hard drive that is not an available drive

  I have a Vista and my computer alerts me needs to back up, but fails because the "D" drive is full.  I did a cleanup and still not enough space.   I plugged my external hard drive and tried to return to the top, but this isn't an option to store up to only D.   How can I clean the drive as well as to add an external hard drive as a backup option?

  Hello

  D: is normally your partition recovery and between 5-15GBs in size.

  If the above is correct for your case, read this:

  Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

  1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

  F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

  You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

  2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

  Also ask them how to make records.

  Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

  There are backups on an external hard drive.

  To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

  See you soon.

• Back to the top: the files are not backed up on external hard drive

  When I back up my hard drive to Windows Vista, the backup (which should include my documents) works about 30 seconds and it didn't save the file created on my external hard drive of diving. The hard drive is a Seagate 160 GB with about 90 GB of available disk space. I have my using the Windows Vista program upward.

  Hello

  ·        Have you tried the same files and backup folder in one different location (another drive or media)?

  You can check if there are errors listed in Event Viewer related to backup is not made. To open Event Viewer, follow the link below.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/open-Event-Viewer

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

  You can also try to disable the security software and then try to run the backup utility and check if that helps.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Question of swap hard drive NAS Datastore

  I make a hard drive on my QNAP NAS hotswap... as long as it's RAID 1. I have RAID 6, so I have to stop my NAS to swap a hard drive.

  Stupid question: can I stop my NAS without closing all my virtual machines? I can make sure there is no change to the VMs. Sorry, I'm looking for an easy solution < g >. I don't have a storage vMotion-enabled.

  One of my hard drives in the NAS is to launch during the self-test read errors.

  Thank you

  Mark

  Without stopping the virtual machine, you will need to move to a different external storage device.  If you have any other storage to move the virtual machine then your only option is to stop.

• The backup failed. Time machine could not back up on external hard drive

  I can't save my disk of time machine. Went to disk utility. 2 TB of capacity. 11.27 GB available. Use the hard drive of my iMac with 1.11 TB

  675.22 F. What should I do?

  Is your "drive external time machine" directly attached to your iMac or an AirPort Extreme / Time Capsule? If the last two, what is the exact model of either?

• Is it possible to back up my entire hard drive on iCloud?

  I have some problems with my iMac built from 21 "to end of 2009 running OS 10.9.5.  It will not initialize correctly, works slowly and I continue getting the spinning wheel of doom whenever I try to perform any function.  I had to work for hours this afternoon, just to do it online.  Tried to boot mode safe and everything else I could think of.  Finally tried to boot in diagnostic mode and it just seemed to start.  But not in the way I was trying for.  I think while I run it I had better save what I have on the hard drive.  I don't have an external hard drive or I would just use Time Machine.  Does anyone have a suggestion on what I can do?

  A backup is not the best of all the alternatives, you always want to have a good backup, both preferably. I would buy an external hard drive, it's the best way to go. And if you use a clone and that your hard drive goes down you can start just from the clone up to that fix it you. I keep a backup Time Machine, and clones. You can use a software of cloning asSuperDuper! or double clone.

  The advantage of the clone, it's that it is bootable. The advantage of TM, is that it creates recursive backups, so you can restore a file or the whole disc of a certain point in time.

• Best way to back up my laptop hard drive?

  I save all my projects/records LPX on a 2 TB external hard drive.

  What is the best and I hope that the best way to save this 3 TB external hard drive on a second hard drive?

  Thank you

  Jerry

  Do you want to be a second backup or you simply want to move to the larger disk? The quickest way would very probably be use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone one to another. If you want it to be different from other data store you on the largest disk (not recommended), then you will need to create a separate partition for backup to disk with greater capacity.

  You can also clone volumes using restore in disk utility.

  1. Open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.
  2. Select the volume target in the list on the left.
  3. Click the restore in the main window of disk utility.
  4. Select again the volume target in the list aside and drag it into the Destination field.
  5. Select the volume of the Source of the list aside and drag it to the Source domain.
  6. Click Restore.

• I'm really stuck on how to back up my portable hard drive on a hard disk

  Can someone help me with a step by step guide on how to backup my entire hard drive on the new device?
  I assumed that the new software could explain what to do, but it doesn't. I thought that there is a way faster than the transfer of files individually.

  Any help greatly appreciated - thanks.

  To be honest I n don't know what you want to do exactly?
  What do you save? Your stuff private pictures, movies and so on or what?
