Moving pictures & catalog newly installed second hard drive

Hello!

I just checked file John (http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1) on moving files. My friend, a non-technical guy right, had a second drive installed on his computer. So far there has been a single physical disk with logical drives C: and D:. All of his pictures are sitting on the D: drive and there is nothing else on this drive.

I am sustains it remotely in Vancouver, British Colombia, Austria (with logmein.com).

The new drive, 500 GB, is formatted and the installation chap he gave her the letter j:

My questions:

(1) I change the drive letter to say X:, change the letter of the new drive and then create a disc copy of X: to D: will this work?

(2) have the my friend to do a normal backup on his external USB drive and then do a restore with 'Restore to the location of the original file' to the new drive J: and it now uses the J: drive. Check the preferences are set correctly.

(3) just move with the Organizer all the files to the new drive J:, leaving the catalog on the D: drive.

(4) other good ideas? My friend has about 9 000 images on file, probably quite a few disconnected ones.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Alexander

(Waiting for October 9 and PSE 8 as advertised on Amazon. John you soon will certainly be another long list of items to add to your index! GIROU!)

Alexander,

Using view > display folder location to move the photo folders is the easiest way to move photos to a new disk, as described in the FAQ you referenced:

http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-FAQ.htm#_Move_your_photos

The question remains what to do with the catalog file:

1 - is on the C drive (where he usually resides) or D drive?

2 if it is on the C drive, there is no harm to leave it there - it uses relatively little space.

3. If it is on the D drive, and that your friend is not afraid to leave it there, then leave it there.

4. If your friend really wants to move the disk D (if it can release this drive and use a tool for partitioning to merge back in C D), so he will need to move the catalog folder:

a. If it's on the PSE 7, it can pass safely the catalog file by using the file > catalog > move.

(b) if he is on PSE 6, and there not all projects (e.g., slide shows) or files on DVD/CD, it can pass safely the catalog file by using the file > catalog > move.

c. otherwise, we need to use the backup/restore method (rather than the display > display folder location) for the catalog folder installs as well as photos on J drive.

    Laptop computer has two covers of hard disk and manual is not clear on this subject.
    He said: some models.

    Thanks for the info

    You can't find the answer very easily.

    Remove the second HDD Bay cover and check if there are a few HARD drive connectors/pins.

    If Yes, then you could install a second HDD.
    If not, you can not use second HARD drive.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P300D install second hard drive location

    I own a P300D, it has 1 location where sits the preinstalled hard drive and an another just like it the other side. but the plastic cover of the second slot has a bunch of plastic columns that block the slot if the plastic cover is used to close the slot.

    How we're supposed to fit a second hdd in there?
    Am I expected to by an another plastic cover?

    where can I get the metal frame to keep the hard drive correctly?
    The exact product names would be nice :)

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, not all Satellite P300 models can be upgraded with a second HDD.
    Even if the second HARD drive Bay is available, you will not be able to insert a second HDD if the HDD connectors are missing.

    To verify if the connectors are available for this

  • Installing second hard drive in hp envy 17

    Hello

    I would like to add a secondary hard drive to my HP ENVY 17 1050ef.

    I know that I need a caddy and cable connector - I'm looking at this one:

    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&products_id=481

    Please can anyone advise where I can buy the hard drive itself.  I think I need a 9.5 mm/2.5 inch drive but must be SATA and where I can buy this from.    I won't need too big a disk.  My main drive is 446 GB so I should probably something similar or slightly larger.

    Any help where I can buy this and what to buy would be appreciated.  I am based in the United Kingdom.

    Thanking you

    Hi Dean,

    Once again, thank you for the information.  It is very useful for me and allow me to move forward with confidence.  For that, I thank you.

    My windows version is Windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit (service pack 1).

    I have already backed up my drive to a USB port, I think that also asked me if I wanted to save on DVD.  If I could do it again that way and the DVD would be the most recent.

    (if I remember correctly, that I don't have enough DVD back upward so I used a new usb that had never been used)

    You mention a windows boot disk, that's essentially what I already saved and downloaded on the USB with my system files and full backup when I created the system repair disc?

    If so the main hard drive breaks down, the system will ask to connect USB or DVD when I turn on my laptop with only the secondary hard drive installed and then I will be in place and works?

    I found this link which can help me, but suggestions and links on your part would be appreciated.

  • Tecra W50 - cannot start when installing the second hard drive (caddy).

    Hi all
    I have a Tecra W50 PT640A 04103NN1.
    When a second hard drive is installed in the Bay of DVD player cell phone will try to boot from the drive bay, not the internal drive
    This second drive has no operating system installed and so the fails to start.

    If I hit F12 at startup and select HARD drive, while the machine starts correctly. That is starts on the main hard drive.
    Change the order of boot in the BIOS makes all the difference; He will always try to boot from the second drive bay drive first.

    All known A it works correctly?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Doppelfrog,
    I had the same problem with my W50, got my HDD caddy a few days ago.
    You have a bit of luck to fix this problem?
    I believe that the Bios for this laptop is not developed to serve both drives (like the computer I had that one drive Bay) and it is not possible to prioritize the witch THAT HDD should start first...

    Kind regards

  • Install a second hard drive in a G10-133

    Two questions for you...

    I would like to install a second hard drive in my G10-133. Specifically, I'm looking for a second disc 80gig (MK8026GAX). Does anyone have experience of installing a second drive like that?

    Secondly, I know where to buy the disc. But, someone has any advice on the carriage-drive itself (ie. the piece of kit that holds the drive in place in the Bay)? Specifically, where can I get one?

    Everyone applauded.

    Hello Andrew

    In my opinion, you can build a second HDD, but the two HARD drives must have the same size.
    As far as I know the 80 GB HARD drive is compatible with your device.
    In addition the second HDD must be set as a slave HARD drive. You can set the jumper in the correct position.

    Best regards

    Hello

    You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

    http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30305659/706331346/STARTech-com-6in-SATA-to-right-angle-SATA-serial-ATA-cable-female-SATA-female-SATA-6-inch-red/ListingDetails.html?_%24JA=TSID:13315% 7Ccat: 30305659% 7Cprd: 30305659 & kw = {keyword}

    This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    The other cable is energy:

    http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

    It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

    You can also buy a combo like this cable:

    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/DP/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4

    All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

  • Possible to install the second hard drive in the p6110f Pavilion

    Is it possible to install a second hard drive, 1 TB Seagate, in the expansion on my Pavillion p6110f slot?

    Hello

    Your PC has a hard drive cage which will host two disks.  This how-to - HP document from removing a hard drive will show you the process to remove the hard drive cage.

    If you want to continue using the Expansion Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 3.5" adapter support. NewEgg.com would bring such a support.  You also need a SATA data cable.  This how-to - HP article will give you an idea on how to use Expansion with a 5.25 device Bay ".  Check by the optical drinve for a spare SATA power connector.  If it is not available, then you will need to use a SATA power splitter.

    You can install another HARD drive in the PC because there is a free SATA port.

    With regard to the supply cable, if your a more SATA connectors, you can use it to connect the secondary HDD in the system.

  • Dell Inspiron 560 install a second hard drive

    I am wanting to know if it is possible to run both hard drives in this computer to the max storage?

    Derplax

    Yes, the Inspiron 560 MT supports two 3.5 "SATA internal hard drives.

    Dell has not released written instructions for adding an additional SATA hard drive in the 560 MT

    But as the Tower of 530 Dell Mini has the same chassis, the same procedures can be used.

    Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically here are:

    http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-530_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

    After you install the second hard drive, enter the BIOS Setup] and ensure that the drive is enabled [on].

    Then partition, format the hard drive and it assigned a drive letter by using disk management.

  • What needs to install a second hard drive in the XPS 410 desktop computer

    I want to install an internal drive repaired as a second drive in my office, so I can recover the data. A few threads in this area and I see support. Would just need a SATA HD cable? The power cable would already be there?

    userx_076

    Requires addititional hard drive, a SATA data cable and a power connector SATA, the default XPS 410 has a SATA power connector power to spare for a second hard drive.

    You will need to buy a SATA data cable, probably a 24 "x 90 * [square] x 180 * right SATA cable, similar to the cable as shown here:"
