Move the HD from one office to another desktop computer

It is a question about moving the files & applications from one desktop to another. I try to get 1 year of use of existing & software equipment.

I have an office of stand-alone Dell old 12 years with Windows XP that I use every day at home. I have an old Dell Office of 7 years with XP & no apps or files that I have gained from the work that I do not use.

I guess the older machine is sick because I have to reset the clock each time I boot Windows. It seems to work otherwise. I want to act before the death of the sick machine.

A method that I am considering moves chips drive & memory fixed older machine to the latest machine. These two components are less than 3 years. I replaced a fixed disk damaged & added some memory.

The other method I see is to copy the contents of the fixed disk on the sick machine on the newer machine fixed drive, leaving the components in place.

I know I need to buy new hardware and new software. I would wait 10 Windows.

I'd like suggestions on the simple, reliable and cost-effective method to buy more time by using existing hardware.

To move the data from the user, just install the xp installation cd, search for "other tasks" in the

menu, search for "File Transfer Wizard", set the pc as old pc, select the file to save, save files

in a new folder that you created, once its through, out of xp cd. Move the new folder to a cd

Once through, on the new pc, install the xp installation cd, locate the file transfer, set the new pc, select

to search for files, installation cd with user data, find the folder on cd, install FTW

It automatically... Best bet is to run FTW on a new user account, and then move the files to the other as

necessary. It's one way, others, install the HD from old pc to new, HD set as slave,

with the HD as a slave, the data can be used with the operating system.

Windows 10 is already available.

  • How to move the FILE from one place to another and keep "Indexing" have to move to the unknown location so you can't discover its full file path? Windows instructions provide information wrong re: how to do this!

    Make a bunch of audio files, placed in a folder on my desktop. Files initially sent to RealPlayer to burn, but when finished burning CD and went to read a CD, folder got seized by Media Player, 'Indexed' and disappeared from the office. I'm a relatively new computer user, and I need to learn more about file paths, how to view the path FULL of a file on my computer and how to type (create) full path when I need to. The "Indexing" feature seems to erase this lesson for me, and after having spent four hours trying to find Vista instructions on "How to move the file from one place to another", I gave up! Windows 'Help and Support' on my computer gives wrong directions. It states that if I right click on a folder > properties, a dialog box opens with a tab by which I can move my account. There is no tab location here. I found locations tab when right click on the "Mobile" folder, but still no option to "move file". No idea what is the folder "Roaming" or why it's on my computer. I want my audio files in the My Music folder, but this place is "access denied." Don't know how to get the audio file it in any case, but if anyone has any advice, I would be very happy! Thank you. PS - I had no problem moving folders in XP. I don't like the idea that a computer is to decide where to put my files. I want to control where I put my files. I don't like the way search works under Vista. I liked the XP search companion better because, for a computer fool like me, it was really easy to organize and find files and folders and had an option specific to find audio and video file TYPES.

    Here is an article on how to move your personal folders in Vista: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/moving-your-personal-data-folders-in-windows-vista-the-easy-way/.  If you're talking about the special folders (such as photos, Documents, office...), then here is an article on how to move: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/95/1/How-to-move-the-special-folders-in-Windows-Vista.html.

    If you have trouble with the search after you move the files, then rebuild the index: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2103/vista_rebuilding_the_search_index/.  Here is an article on how to use Indexing Options in Vista that may be useful for you: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/69581-indexing-options.html.

  • Move the host from one cluster to another?

    I have two clusters and I need to move a host from one cluster to another. How can I do this and ask the host to connect to the new cluster instead of LUN LUN the host is connected to?

    Thank you!

    to move the host, you can disconnect and then delete.  Once it is deleted, you can 'add host' in the new cluster.  If you have guests running, you should have your SAN team present the LUNS presented to the new cluster for your ESX host, from the other group.  Then, you can use sVMotion to migrate directly from your virtual machine to the new LUN.

    Once it is completed has your team the 'old' not present SAN LUN and do a new analysis of your storage adapters.

  • Best way to move the file from one server to another VM

    Hello

    We will soon be moving on ESX3.5 45 virtual machines on the same network to ESX4.0 on another network.  What is the best/best way to move these files?  The original network, the files are stored locally on the server and run ESX3.5i.  However, on the other network, data warehouses are on a San and the ESX hosts are in a cluster.  Both networks are in the same physical location and can meet.  I guess I can do it from the CLI of in ESX?

    Thank you

    If you have two hosts in vCenter Server, you can move the virtual machines without Storage vMotion (Powered-off VMs).
    It is not necessary that both hosts have access to the San using cold migration.

  • Permissions do not update every time that a user moves a file from one folder to another in the Windows XP computer.

    Original title: folder permissions to move or copy.

    I have a problem that I'm sure has a simple explanation but I don't know.  I have a folder in the tree that whenever a user moves a file from one folder to another, the permissions do not update.  Yet if a user copies the folder to the same location, permissions to update as expected.  This only happens with XP.  If I try with Win 7, if the user moves or copies, update permissions.

    Has anyone seen this or have an explanation?

  • Move the image to one folder to another - E10

    I would like to move an image from one folder to another folder and I can't figure out how to do this.  Is this possible?  Does anyone know how?

    Thank you

    Vince

    It is not as intuitive Vince but you must drag up to navigation in folders, then release.

    I hope explains it to the captain.

    I have only one level of folders deep, but if you have folders in the folders, pretty sure that you can drag it above the folder that you want it to be, i.e. moving the image up a level.

  • Is it possible to move a Folio from one account to another?

    Is it possible to move a Folio from one account to another?

    Thank you

    Currently, it is not possible to move a Folio between accounts.

    One possibility would be to share the folio with the second account. The second account would then create a new folio and copy items to this new folio in addition to the preview images, and the metadata for any level of folio.

    How can I move multiple files from one folder to another in SkyDrive?  When I click on a file, & then use CTRL-click on another file, it moves to that one.  Can I select multiple files & copy or move or rename on PC?

    For now - not.  SkyDrive Wave5 or anyone should have this ability when it is fully released.

  • Move a layer from one document to another, I get the error message that the layer is empty

    When I copy a layer from one document to another in PS CC 2015.5 and then try to move the layer in the destination document, I get the error message that the layer is empty.  It is not empty and I checked several times and checked that the layer is not empty.  I have never had this problem before and wonder if something has changed in CC 2015.5.

    Thanks to all who responded.  I think the problem was that I was using the NEF files and that he had not yet renamed PSD files.  Copy the layer in the destination document, but when I tried to move the layer in the destination document, I received the error message.  Apparently, he was copying the layer but there not then recognize the NEF format.  Once I saved both documents to the PSD, then the program behaved normally.  I appreciate your all of the help.
