Logical disk partition not recognized in the New Installation of Windows

Hello.  I would appreciate someone to give me any advice.  I don't know if the problem I encounter is an oversight on my part, but it was not something that I anticipated.

To give a bit of background, until last week, I was running a Windows 7 system on my computer which included three hard drives (4 TB, 2 TB, and a smaller disk).  The 4 TB drive included my boot drive with Windows on a partition of 2 TB and then the unallocated space has been transformed into a new partition in disk management, received the drive letter G and was used for long term backup of data.

Since then, I built a new computer and installed a new version of Windows 7 on a small SSD.  During this process, I have not all disks connected to the machine (except the DVD player) so that there is no possibility of installation of Windows, do something for these readers I didn't (I got burned by this time long ago when you reinstall Windows 95, which makes me just feel old).  After the whole installation process was performed and the new version of Windows has been working well, I opened the machine and plugged the drive 4 TB and 2 TB, assuming that Windows did not recognize them when I started.

When I started in Windows, Windows does indeed recognize the two drives and assign drive letters.  But in the case of the car of 4 TB, he acknowledges that the partition containing my old boot drive.  No drive letter is assigned to the secondary partition.  When I go to disk management, it shows all of the remaining spaces as unallocated space, but seems not yet quite recognize space completely in the way he would if I'd created directly.  For example, if I right click in that box, I don't get the normal options to create a new Simple Volume.  Everything on this menu is grayed out except properties and help.

So I guess I have two questions.  (Leaving aside the possibility of a hardware problem), was I wrong to assume that a hard drive divided into two partitions could be transferred from a Windows machine to another?  I honestly thought that no matter where no matter what Windows 7 machine would recognize the two drives, but maybe I'm missing something fundamental.

Two and more important still, there advice for access to the data on this drive?

Hello

A problem that could happen is that the disk partition has security setting so that the profile of the user that created it would be able to access it, and seeing that you are trying to access from a new profile may not not allow you to access

To access these files, you can try to boot from the old hard drive manually to change the setting of the partition or simply manually move the files and delete the partition.

To start from the old disk hard restart have the hard drive is plugged in, restart the computer and while it is booting F12 key to select the boot device, after that, select the old hard disk and access them normally.

hope this has helped.

    Hello again loplop8989l,

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Since you are able to use your TouchPad before restarting your computer, I recommend that you follow this document on How to perform a boot in Windows. This should help

    If the problem persists, I suggest to restore your system to a restore point when you first install the drivers for your TouchPad. To do this, please follow this document on using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).

    Once you have restored your system to when the pilots first TouchPad installation, please follow this resource on how to activate the update or disable automatic so only with the help of HP Support Assistant (Windows 8). This should help to disable automatic updates and check to see what firmware to download individually. Please install each update individually, taking note of update causes incompatibility of software with your TouchPad.

    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your response!

  • Recovery disks do not work with the new hard drive?

    Hello, everyone.

    I have a laptop HP (pavilion dv7-1245dx) and the hard drive is dead. I had never gotten to burn my recovery disks, so I ordered new ones from HP. When I installed the new hard drive and popped in the disk to reinstall the operating system, it gave me the error message:

    EDIT: Trying to recover a Vista operating system

    For anyone who has the same problem, I found a solution. I cloned the original hard drive using the Clonezilla fallback option. After using Clonezilla to image on the new hard disk, the partition which held that most of the data of the laptop is not mountable, however the partition containing the restore partition was a perfect copy. I turned on the computer, hit escape to access the menu (for a list of options such as boot order, etc, which included an option for recovery), and then choose recovery option. While the recovery discs, I received from HP refused to work with the new hard drive, the Vista restored cloned recovery partition without flaw.

  • Password not recognized for the new Gmail account

    My gmail account ID / password is not recognized by Thunderbird. It worked, but somehow it has suddenly stopped working (not able to receive or send emails and just make an hourglass whenever I select any folder in the account).

    Some other details:

    . I use Thunderbird 38 (could the upgrade caused the problem?).
    . I tried to remove and re-add the account. It connects fine, but does not recognize the username/password.
    . I did some Google 2-step of checking is turned off.
    . I deleted the Google Contacts.
    . I checked that access for less secure applications is disabled in Google (even though I believe that Thunderbird 38 should not require this).

    I followed all the steps I find Google search, including the https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmailsite. Nothing seems to help.

    I'm up a Creek. I like Thunderbird (use it for multiple e-mail accounts), but hair pulling try that it works - and it takes too long. Any suggestions?
