Move all my data and OS to new hard drive

Hello world

Well, my problem is that my hard drive which I installed today is insufficient memory.  I can only have a hard drive connected to my computer if I want to transfer everything (including Vista Home Premium) to the new hard drive.  I installed the new hard drive and disconnected my CD player in the process so that both hard drives are now connected and installed ready for operation.  I know how to back up files in windows, but I want to spend all completely (cookies, programs, photos, Vista, etc.) or as much as I can.  I will have to reinstall the programs, but I don't want to reinstall Vista.  I hope that was enough information and thank you for your help!

  • How can I move all my program files to a new hard drive?

    Hello!


    I just bought a new 1 TB HDD and I want to be able to move all my program files and documents from my C: drive to my new hard drive...
    How can I do this without having to reinstall? is it possible to make a kind of "shortcut" to the new HDD in C: files so that the internal files and settings are not modified or whatnot...

    You can move all your documents without problem, but not your
    installed programs. This is because there are a lot of references, in the
    Registry and elsewhere in \Windows, where programs are.

    There are a few third party programs that can get to those
    references and supposedly change them for you, but my experience
    try these programs is that none of them are perfect and use one of
    them is likely to create problems with some programs.

    Therefore, it is best to reinstall programs.

  • Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    A message on the RAID 0 volume failed is a recognizable error message, but the news is not good.

    RAID, by its nature, requires 2 or more drives.  RAID = redundant Bay of independent (or inexpensive) disks

    RAID 0 is the worst of the different RAID choices.  It increases the performance of hard disk by spreading or striping, data on two disks so that he can read and write more quickly. Unfortunately, such a picture offers no protection of data - in fact, it increases the chances of loss of data since the failure of a disk in the array results in the loss of all data on both drives. RAID 0 configurations are standard on high-end and PCs graphics games and provide a performance gain measurable, albeit modest for games, graphics applications and other programs intense from the hard drive.

    In view of the foregoing, the best course of action for you and your parents is to take the computer to a local computer professional - not a type of place BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad.

  • Satellite Pro M45 overheating after a few updates and installation of new HARD drive

    I have a sat pro p4 overheated now. I tried the old hoover and this does not work. The thing is that both fans do not seem to turn on. All this happened after I downloaded some updates to put on a new hard drive, I bought.

    Now the fans are not at all turns. My m/b is actually a model of the A45 and I put a 2.0/128/400 CPU inside. The old man who was in it is a 2.4./512/533

    It seems that you have changed almost everything on the laptop.
    Motherboard, CPU, HARD drive, etc.

    Believe me; It s not easy to say why fans don t start. How everyone should exactly known what you did on your laptop?
    Maybe the card mother doesn t provide the power for the fan or the connection is failing.
    Are you sure that the motherboard is ok?

    Unfortunately, all we can do is to hear from you.
    But usually some diagnostic tests are needed to locate the fault.

  • My imac crashed and required a new hard drive. I have downloaded lightroom again but my library of images is gone

    My imac crashed resulting in a new hard drive. I downloaded Lightroom 4 according to the previous disc but none of my old photos are here

    Hello

    You must copy the library Lightroom (.lrcat) file and the original images from your Time Machine backup disk. If you have not created a backup on a separate time Machine unit (or other backup processes) of your iMac, then you're probably out of luck, unless the defective hard drive can be recovered.

  • Upgraded to windows 7 and also a new hard drive

    I have a 2005 HP m7060n Media Center http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00306958 & lang = to & cc = us & taskI... running on XP
    I was looking to upgrade to Windows 7 and also install a new drive.  New readers are shipped with windows 7 already preinstalled and when I change the disks, it will start windows 7.
    How could I then exchange the old files to the new drive?
    What is your solution the best and less expensive?  How do you do this?  Help, please.
    Thank you
    Marco

    I suggest that perform you a clone of the hard drive. Seagate drives and WD offer a free version of the wizard disk.

    Clone the original 200 GB drive to the new drive.  To avoid problems, has chosen a 1.5 or 1 t T drive. Once you have the clone, just install the upgrade on the new drive. All your data will remain intact, and the intact original of 200 GB drive is secure.

    PS > you need a spare sata power and data leads to the clone. Look inside and see what led power is hanging loose. Then I can suggest an adapter or cable. As the DVD is IDE, (not Sata) from what I've read, you will need a Sata data cable also.

    Hello

    There are different ways to do

    and these methods depend on your hard drive work

    hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning to move your operating system software from the old to the new drive hard If your old hard drive still works

    Search for information on this subject on their Web site

    If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

    read the information below

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

    or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

    link below is an example of this:

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

    also to put your machine how you bought:

    1. If vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

    You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new drive hard If the old drive still works

    ask the manufacturer of the machine how

    2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • How to move a Time Capsule backup to a new hard drive

    I've been running Time Capsule on an external FireWire drive Yosemite 10.10.5 running on a MacPro to 2012. It will allow more to perform backups and disk utility fails to remove the disc. When I run the disk repair, either via the recovery disc or a USB flash drive, they are not able to repair the disc and gives me the message: "exit code is 8." The suggestion is to backup the drive and then wipe and restore. I tend to remove the hard drive because it is the second time this has happened; the first time I erased it and started the Time Machine backup everywhere with the same external drive.

    However, I am about to upgrade to El Capitan and certainly want the option to return to Yosemite if necessary.

    What should I do to transfer the contents of the hard drive damaged to a new drive and always make sure that my computer recognizes it as a backup Time Machine valid? I can clone it right on a new external hard drive?

    Thank you!

    Yes, it clones if the drive is still ok.

    On a MacPro, you have plenty of space for a real drive... or you can buy a USB key and just to make the clone.

    However, my recommendation is to download and run Carbon Copy Cloner. You get free trial use 1 month anyway. Clone startup current Mac to a USB drive or internal hard drive. And make sure it is bootable... that makes it simple to restore a computer to your old operating system running. TM cannot produce a clone bootable... nor can utility that can clone a drive but not to create a boot disk drive.

    Just keep the current firewire drive as that is the TM backup... I really doubt that you will get no improvement it cloning.

  • Within the last week, that all the folders and files on my hard drive were selected 'read only '.

    I unflagged all the folders and files that I share on my home network, however, I am not able to rename them or save them on my PC from my laptop on my wireless network. This has happened since May 12 and I suspect an auto update changed or recover from something.

    Running Vista Home Premium SP2 on PC

    Laptop is Windows 7

    Thanks for getting back to me Mick!

    I did a restore to 5/10 when I had no problem, but the problem persisted.

    I'll have to try Norton support. This may be something they did.

    In the meantime, I managed to change the names of files by connecting to the PC with the account of my wife who as co-owner had equal rights and the sign of the laptop is its ID as well so it worked, but it isn't always fair.

    Once again, thank you...
