• Move the files to an external hard drive - LR3.2, Mac Snow Leopard

  I apologize for this right now, but after reading other threads in this forum, buy a book, and I watch a video, I am more confused than ever! I want to spend 6 months of folders, subfolders, metadata, and keywords, off my portable hard drive to an external hard drive to free up room on my laptop (not). Then, I want to be able to access with the LR catalog on the external hard drive. The catalog that I use currently (showing all my photos 2010) also contains more recent files that I don't want to export because they are still topical. My studies, there are all kinds of suggestions on the creation of new files by drag-and - drop, using the sign, export catalogues etc, but nothing that tells me step by step how to achieve what I want to do! Pourrait - a nice person please guide me through this?

  Thnaks,

  Richard

  To make LR 'see' your external hard drive, you must make a top folder of in LR.

  In the library Module, click the icon "+" in the folders Panel, and then click "add a folder".

  Navigate to your external hard drive and create the folder, call it what you want it to be.

  Right-click on the new folder and click on "add a folder"; the player must then become visible.

  Then, just drag and drop your images into this folder.

• When you back up my files to a new hard drive, getting the error "destination path too long".

  Hello

  Today I was backing up my files on a new hard drive that I bought a week ago, and during the copy, I received the message following 'destination path too long ".
  And the file name is actually short "crouch" here is a snap of the image:

  http://imgkeep.com/0ij23kby74dn.html

  I don't know what to do!

  Original title: destination path too long?

  The key factor is not the name of the file itself, but the total length of the file name and the path of the folder.

  The help files for the application that you are using could tell you how long the total combination of the file-file may be [some more older can be limited to 255 characters, but I was not able to discover the current constraints].

• I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

  I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

  Hi Phil,

  If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

  You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.

  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.

• Can I move my current operating system that came with the computer on a new hard drive?

  My family got a hp pavilion m7560n some time ago.  Last weekend I heard on that clicking sound from the hard drive I think.  Since then, I only heard once or twice.  All that I know is that clicking may mean the hard drive is defect or on the way that him.   However I don't know if this is the case if the sound starts and stops.

  I want to know if I can format a new hard drive to replace the one provided with the system and always keep the same format as on the system when it was new.  I mean here the operating system and all other programs who came to this topic.  The recovery that are made to work for this computer discs may work on a new drive hard format if it is put in place of the system?

  Or are otherwise free to carry the operating system and other programs on a new hard drive.

  The hard disk provided with the system's 320 GB, I have one that is 500 GB.

  Hi logicman77,

  the recovery discs are meant to be exactly for this purpose.  You can put in a new drive hard (500 GB is fine), and the discs will reinstall XP, as well as all software provided on them.

  The computer will look like it did the day you took it out of the box.  This document will give you details on the implementation of the recovery: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07145

• Can I move my Windows on a new hard drive?

  Here's the situation:

  I currently have a pretty old IDE hard drive, and I'm looking to upgrade to a new motherboard that does not all IDE ports. So basically I'd copy my current hard drive (Windows and all) in a more recent SATA one?

  If not, is there something I could do to move all my stuff on a new hard drive, even if I have to buy a new copy of Windows?

  Thanks in advance for any help, I'm pretty lost at this point.

  Look for a hard drive that suits. Note the manufacturer. Go to their website and download the software they provide for copying/cloning the old drive to the new. Use the new disk on your upgraded computer. You may need to do a telephone activation.

  Note that to do this and have an installation that can be enabled with the current number of product, your version of Windows Vista should be a commercial version and not an OEM version. OEM, those who come usually pre-installed on a PC, versions are valid only for the equipment on which they were originally installed.

  However, even if your original version was OEM, there are ways to proceed. Do the hardware upgrades. Install a new copy of details of the operating system of your choice. (This could be the opportunity to move to Windows 7 unless additional fees). Put your old drive in an external enclosure that accepts IDE (PATA) drives. Copy your files from the user on the newly targeted PC. You will need to install all the old applications.

  It's a pain in the underworld, but the performance improvements are generally well worth the effort.

  Good luck.

• I can't save the file to my external hard drive connected to my wireless router!

  I have a wireless router netgear WNDR3700 with 'plug-and-play' feature that allows a home to simply connect your hard drive to your network. I managed it to get up and running, but I encountered some problems when I tried to save files on the disk. The strange thing is that I can copy and paste or move the files to the location that I want to but I can't save it there... I have windows 7 Professional 64-bit installed.

  I thought about it :)

  In the folder "My Computer" and under "Network location" I clicked on my external hard drive. Just below the navigation bar, I clicked on 'Map network drive' I entered all the information of location on hard disk and I got another file under "network location". I deleted the old one and used a new one that I could use without any problems until now... hope this makes sense...

• Failed to retrieve the system on a new hard drive

  Hi all

  I've owned a large Pavilion s5325UK that the last few months, threw up Smart new warnings on the disk may fail.

  Yesterday, I bit the bullet and paid for a new HDD to be brilliant.

  Copied all my user data etc. to offshore on an external drive OK.

  I got the system once before after a kidnapping missed an infection by the virus.

  Installed the new drive is a Seagate Barracuda 500 GB SATA 600 7200 RPM 16 MB 3.5 "

  The party went well past and that seems to be made of conservation treatment unit to restart.

  Windows cannot be installed on this material,

  Then it's a series loop of reboots everything ending in the same error.

  The old drive is a Western Digital Caviar Blue of the same size.

  The problem with the new hard drive.  I dropped on a XP Pro image and mounted the drive to an old pc from redundant and it starts very well even if I do not mind that install drivers etc chip that was only to check the disc.

  I'm a bit confused now as I have now tried the recovery process 3 right now with the same error at the end of each attempt.

  Any suggestions are most welcome, thank you

  Hello:

  Make your own Windows 7 If installation media you can read all 25 characters of the product key of MS Windows 7.

  Here's how:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• Move Windows 7 install on new hard drive

  Hi guys, what is the recommended procedure to switch my current installation to a new hard drive? The current drive has 2 partitions with the windows partition having 120 GB of space, but I want to change that to 100 GB on the new hard drive, the rest being partitioned for documents and media, but also another operating system for dual boot. Thank you

  You can create a System Image of your current installation of Windows 7 on the 120 GB drive. Please note that the new drive must be size equivalent to or greater than the current unit where Windows 7 is installed. Once you have submitted your player using the System Image, you can then proceed with the installation of the new hard drive and then boot from your Windows 7 DVD in the environment of system recovery and restore installation on the new drive. Instructions on how to do in the following link:

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

  Once the image is given the new drive, start Windows 7, open the device management and shrink the drive to 100 GB.

• reinstalling the system on a new hard drive

  Looks like a common problem that the original HDD Samsung die a premature death. I started to receive warnings of 301 SMART several months ago, but my HP dv6 kept operating normally until this week. Now it does not start, then it's time for a new HARD disk. I thought I was fully prepared, as I had spared him all my work on an external drive, had a new beautiful drive HARD fast to install and had my hand recovery disks. After you run the recovery discs, I'm stuck. New HARD drive does not start, and I can't do what whether the HP Recovery console offers me on its menu. Windows recovery is also stuck as there is no previous image recorded on this new album.

  Looking at the new HARD drive, I see that the HP recovery disks were formatted only 60 GB, sort of a mini recovery partition and nothing else. When I try to restore the image, him refuses to HP recovery with the message Console, this drive is smaller than the original.

  Can someone tell me how to work around this problem with recovery disks, or how I might just do a clean install of Windows 7 without having to buy a new installation disk purely and simply? HP does not provide a Windows disk with this computer.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Hello

  Recovery discs often have problems reinstalling the operating system if the new HARD drive is lower than installed when they were initially created.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the activation code on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery process, it is a job before right around if you have (or can borrow) a Windows 7 retail installation disc is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to version exact commercial that you would need.

  If you don't have access to a retail disk, you can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• What is the upper limit of the size of a new hard drive in a gateway MX6453?

  Title: original size for replacement laptop hard drive?

  I want to upgrade to a hard drive more in my Gateway MX6453.  He is currently 160 GB, and I am running SP3.

  I was warned by my computer technician I couldn't be able to go further, and I have certainly shouldn't push my luck and try something beyond 250 GB.  I contacted gateway and the rep online says 160 is too big, I could go - even if it is not clear if she was citing an authoritative source, or just read the greatest opportunity of their authorized supplier spare parts list.

  Another tip from reading, I found it is often a problem with XP about Logical Block Addressing, which would limit the readable size 127 GB.  However, as my system currently reads 143GB in my C drive partition, I guess this isn't a problem.

  Is there another BIOS or XP limit on this disc of size I can use?
  If so, how to determine what it is?
  And, is it possible to change it?

  Thank you.

  I went ahead and cloned a 250 GB drive, and everything seems to work well.

  The folks at the blue and yellow big box store were very helpful, pointing out a software that can be started and run from its own DVDs at a reasonable price, then the process prescribed only an external enclosure for the new disc of cloning.  Also do they think that a drive yet more would be a problem, but they were only up to 250G to PATA drives (I think I've seen bigger PATA from the same manufacturer online).

  I had barely a few minutes ago selection only one file in Windows Explorer, instead of the file clicked and everyone listed before it, but it seems to have disappeared after a reboot.  I'll post back here if that repeats or there are other problems, but for now it doesn't seem like there should be no problem for those who want to like me.
