main hard drive cloning

Hey all,.

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit system running a Dual Core processor 2.3 ghz with 4 MB of ram.

I have some problems of bad cluster with my primary drive. C sometimes I have the blue screen of death and an automatic restart. On reboot, the system goes by chkdisk proceedings and reports on several bad clusters. The disc is a 1 TB disk partitioned into two sections 1 124.2 GB (the boot section) section and a 807,39 GB secondary drive named F drive. It is a Western Digital SATA.

I recently bought a second 1 TB Toshiba SATA drive and clone my C drive to the new drive D. I used the freeware version of the program HDClone to do the job. The new D drive is an exact clone of the C drive. There are two partitions = 124.2 GB D and E = GB 807,39. During cloning, there are some areas which contained the bad clusters that were not transferred to D drive. However, so far, I discovered not the main programs that do not work as they should. If I found a minor problem, I think I can reinstall this program and solve the problem.

I checked the new cloned drive, and it seems to work fine. I tested it by unplugging the original boot drive C system, reboot. Everything was fine, but a small loss of speed. I then ran Win 7 repair disk on drive D. The repair program found a few errors and to repair the. When I then retested drive D, it seems now operate at the same speed as the old C drive ran to.

I intend to reformat the old drive C and let the format mark as unusable bad clusters so that I can remove the blue screen of death problem. My concern is this:

Under disk management the description of the two physical disks are:

The file system status volume layout
C: Simple player base NTFS healthy (System, boot, pagefile, Active
Crashdump, Petetion primary)
Drive D: base Simple NTFS healthy (petition Active, primary)

As the D drive does not register that it is a system drive or boot with the settings of the Page and Crash Dump file, will there be problems on the road if these settings are missing.

My goal is to make drive D my new C drive with a partition on drive D and the old drive (currently the C drive) my secondary drive E with a disk partition F. just rename the disks in disk management will achieve this goal, or is there a more correct way to rename the readers?

Thanks for any help.
Kind regards
Ed Wood

It's all about reliability. If clusters have failed, the process continues and the player will get progressively worse to the point where it will damage and everything will be lost... Your choice...

  • Replacement of main hard drive DV9565EA

    Hello. I have a DV9565ea under Vista. The main hard drive broke down and I need to replace. The c: partition is corrupted and lost, the X: recovery partition works very well.

    Before spending money on it, I did some research and the recovery on the hard drive partition seems to cause a lot of problems. He needs to be there on the replacement drive, but how he do there? The recovery media do not put the partition recovery on the drive, and without it I will not be able to use the CD recovery anyway.

    Can someone please suggest a way to do this? With the right software and a couple of carts to connect two hard drives on another laptop, I can build and copy this partition on a new drive before using the recovery media?

    Or do I have to send the laptop to HP service center? IF Yes, how much it will cost to bring the machine to its original state of work?

    Or just buy a replacement of HP with everything on all hard drive first?

    Thank you very much.

    Is the BIOS drive test or HP Support assistant tell you that the disc is no longer usable? Is the most important question that you must answer.

    Why you do not have downloaded and used the utilities in a Vista repair disc?

    All he needs to do is identical in terms of 32 or 64-bit. Run chkdsk /f and sfc/scannow might address the issues you have with your current drive (unless HP Support Assistant has informed you that it should be replaced).

    If you have another PC or laptop and can connect the laptop go to him as a slave with either a USB / eSATA external drive housing or by connecting it to the inside, then you can copy the partition recovery and clone on the new portable hard drive. Use a cloning utility to do this.

    Yes, you can use the recovery without the recovery partition disks.

    Your laptop series supports all SATA hard, 9.5 mm (2.5 in.) drives and SSDS. Buy a local or online retailer. It is recommended to keep the capacity of the new drive less 1.5 to (preferably from 500 to 750 GB). The largest drives come with their own installation problems.

  • Formatting the main HARD drive and do a fresh install of the OS

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro running Yosemite (10.10.2). I did not care on the data management since the day that I bought and now it's all over the place and a lot of unwanted files. I have backups time machine the main hard drive and I also backed up all important data on a separate hard drive.

    My question is, is it possible that I can erase my entire hard drive and reinstall Yosemite (10.10.2)? The last time I tried to do this, my MacBook connected to the server and installed the latest OS (I guess it was time Cougar 10.8.4).) I don't want to update the OS because my Audio Interface has no drivers for what after 10.10.2.

    I don't like on the data loss that I have multiple backups of all the files of important work, as well as backups time machine of the disk set. Thus, formatting everything is completely fine with me.

    Thank you!

I don't want to update the OS because my Audio Interface has no drivers for what after 10.10.2.

    The only ways I know to reinstall 10.10.2 are:

    • You have the initial download of 10.10 after Yosemite went out and created a USB this version thumb drive Installer. If so, you can start Setup from USB, delete your Macintosh HD, install 10.10 and after 10.10 is installed, you can download and run the 10.10.2 Combo Update to bring it up to 10.10.2.
    • You have the 10.10.2 download after this version has been published and have created a USB this version thumb drive Installer. If so, you can start Setup from USB, wipe your hard drive Macintosh and install 10.10.2.

    If you can't do or any of the foregoing, all what you can do then is start Recovery HD and install the latest version of Yosemite, which is 10.10.5. Even if the HD recovery may appear 10.10.2,"limited you will always get the most recent version of Yosemite. Without either of the above, there is no way that I know how to install an earlier version of Yosemite. Maybe you could ask a local Apple Store to see if they have a solution for 10.10.2.

    I have a Hp G500 series portable Ubuntu 12.04 running. This morning the case slipped and fell.

  • I want my user to my main hard drive i.e. hard drive by default but my OS on the SSD without the user on the ssd

    * O.T. > default player

    So I set up my Pc with an SSD and unplugged my of my motherboard main HARD drive, so that Windows would automatically install on the SSD. It installed and now I connected the main HARD disk but the SSD is always default. I want to have my my main hddd user but my OS on the SSD without the user on the ssd, because it would take too much space. So basically I was my OS to run from the SSD but my user, download, App Data etc... to come from my main SSD, but I don't know how to do it. Help please?

    -Va

    My recommendation would be to open the C:\Users folder, then go to your user folder (probably 'Will' or a good thing?)

    Now take the record office and HOLD DOWN SHIFT while drag you it to another player.  When you drop, Windows automatically updates the registry of this folder paths so that all you ever put on your "office" (office of real desktop wallpaper) is actually stored on the other drive.

    Do the same for your Documents, downloads, photos, videos and other "Shell folders".

    You can indicate that a folder is a special folder redirection-able by clicking Properties.  If you see the 'Location' tab, then this folder can be redirected to another drive.  Almost everything in your user account folder is like this (by dragging while now shift is the quick way to update this tab 'Location' to redirect the folder to another drive).

    It is technically possible to literally redirect the entire folder 'Will' for example, but I do not recommend it for a typical user account unless you have some super specific needs, and redirect folders shell as this will get the huge majority of data written in your user folder.

  • After the backup hard drive cloning ARD launch

    OS: 10.11.6 (issue which happened on 10.11.5; update today to see if this helped)

    Recently, I reformatted my hard drive to correct some wacky partitioning I played with and cloned my rear disc of a direct clone of CCC.  Also, I recreated my restoration, installation of Boot Camp and installed Windows partition.

    Then, I went to launch the Office remotely and received the following error:

    As a logical person, I uninstalled the application by following the steps here, reinstalled and restarted... to get the same error.

    At this point, I have Google would be a bit and found mention of a permissions issue which was that other people having the same problem.  I checked my diary and here, I got the same errors:

    The strict solution seems to be to delete this folder and recreate it.  First of all, I did this by connecting to the recovery partition and deleting the folder 'C' via the Terminal I didn't so not disable controls system integrity.  This resulting no change on a restart, even after do it again, uninstalling Remote Desktop, and then reinstall.

    Then I disabled the system integrity (csrutil disable) in recovery and started to remove it when it is started.  I ran across the same as hoops above because it does not work all the time.

    I even went away so crazy just now as to delete the folder of higher level instead of just the subfolder 'C '.  That no longer works.  I changed the permissions on the folder to 777.  No change.  Changed the owner to my user account because he invites him for an administrator account.  No change.

    I went to the ARD support page and tried to present a real ticket, but it turns out that the ARD is not in the list of software that you can file a ticket on.

    I'm out of ideas.  No luck, can anyone provide some guidance?

    Hi, I have exactly the same problem the first time, I don't have the link with a CCC clone, but this morning (after a clean install because of this problem), I cloned my boot on a new SSD drive and this issue comes up with the clone. I reboot the original disc and ARD works on original, CCC is causing the problem, I made several clones with previous systems without problems, so it's probably a mixture of Capitan/CCC/ARD pure problem.

    I left a message of support to the CCC with a reference to your thread.

    hope for solution too... for the first time in my life of Apple that a problem needs a new facility...

  • SSD HARD drive cloning

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows a quick and inexpensive way to clone my current hard drive to my new SSD.  The SSD, I is the EVO of 850 Samsung 250 GB internal 2.5 inch SATA III SSD flash disk. I thought that I could use as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper cloning software to clone hard drive into a USB port, replace the hard drive with the new SSD and install Mac OS El Capitan (10.11.2), download Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and transfer the files from the USB on the SSD.  If anyone has the best ways to go about this, I'd be more than happy to know.

    MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid-2012)

    OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

    Storage: GB 439,61 498,88 GB free

    Processor: Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

    I use external enclosures due to their flexibility.  I have a http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MSTG800U3K/, and there is a little cheaper that has only USB 3.0 http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MOTGS3U3/.  Exchange a number any 2.5 in. nu-readers through the enclosure.

    Put the SSD inside, download CCC clone internally externally.

    Download ElCapitan.  But install ForceQuit the execution of the European Community.  Now the twist I like, but others may disagree with... copy EC install to a place safe to use again if you need (install draws internal parts in the place of installation).  Then, run install EC to upgrade your clone.  Make sure that the clone/upgrade is running well.  THEN swap the drives.

    I use my camera for several readers of clone, data/video players, test for OSXes new readers, etc.

  • ThinkPad series Hard Drive Bay adapter III as main hard drive?

    Hi all

    my work laptop is a 400 T running on Win XP. I would like to start an installation of Windows 7 on a hard drive physical which is not possible with my employer in the near future.

    My idea is now to have a second HD in the Hard Drive Bay adapter III series (let's say that the)

    ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive of 320 GB at 7200 RPM) on which I'd install Win 7. I would then configure the adapter Bay to be the first HD to boot from. I would reconfigure the system to use the internal HD every time I need Win XP with the company of my other stuff.

    I don't want to install Win 7 in another partition I want to take the risk of what going to the XP machine ;-)

    The scenario described above is valid or I have to take account of anything else?

    Thanks in advance!

    Sascha

    saschabeltz, welcome to the forum,

    as the States of cassio , you can boot from a hard drive in the Bay adapter. The best way to do it, after you install in the main Bay is to press F12 at startup; This will allow you to choose the device you want to boot from.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".

  • What is needed to improve my main hard drive on the WEI side past 5.9?

    I am trying to improve my score of WEI to my hard drive, although I can't spent 5.9.  Here are the options I've tried:

    (x 1) Kingston 128GB MLC SSD - WEI score 5.9

    (x 2) Samsung 1 TB 7200 RPM 32 MB SATAII RAID0 - WEI 5.9

    I would have thought that one of these would have produced a higher rating.  Please notify.

    What operating system do you use?  Sides on small 128 GB of memory and enormous 1 TB raid-configured drives in accordance with ratings of 5.9.

    Running OS Win 7?  Think 5.9 WEI for Hard Drive transfer primary flow is produced of the operating system.   Went from 7.9 with Vista HP OS on WD Raptor 300 GB 10 K RPM Sata2 drive with transfer rate of 3.0 GB to 5.9 using WD 600 GB 10 K RPM Sate3 in car with 6.0 GB transfer speed using Sate3 mobo, pilots Sate3 and Sate3 cable after change of Win 7 OS.  Forget the IFE HD; all the other sides of WEI can be improved by upgrading your hardware.

    The Scores of WEI Windows 7 are only operating system dependent because the IFE for windows 7 is performed only using windows 7.  The results, however, are very real and the system hardware and driver.  If you mark a 5.9 on your HARD drive, then you have a rotating disc operating at 7200 RPM and it is healthy to second generation.  It is mainly determined hardware installed and a few basic read/write checks.  The only configuration of HARD drive I saw beet 5.9 is two WD VelociRaptors running the operating system in Raid 0.  It only got 6.1.  I realize a 7.6 by running two Intel SSDS in Raid 0.  Once again it is limited to the 7.9 because they run on SATA II channels that restrict inputs/outputs these Heigh performing readers.  I expect to get the 7.9 only when I switch to the Crucial SATA III 6 GB/s SSD next week.  These ratings in Windows 7 are really not as arbitrary, because they are in fact to be.  The fact is that these partitions are the only guides and are not necessarily affect your personal computing experience.

    7.7 = I7 930 @ 4 GHz

    7.8 = 6 GB 3 channel DDR3 1600

    7.9 = GTX 470 with GTS 250 Physx
