• I upgraded my computer, the new operating system on a new hard drive. Want to get my favorites on Firefox off my old drive, but can't find the file.

  I upgraded my computer, adding a second hard disk for a new operating system and kept the old drive as a data disc. I assumed that I could install Firefox on the new disk and import my favorites from the old installation of Mozilla on the old disk. I can't find the files on the old drive with my favorites. They're still here, or when I reinstalled Firefox, I lost everything even if it was on another drive? I can't find the backup on the old disk files and want to restore my old favorites. Is it possible to do this?

  You must find your profile folder in the old drive, the way in which must be:

  1. First display the hidden files and folders:
     • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Wi.../Show-hidden-files
  2. Then go to:
     • < old drive >: \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles \Users\ < username >
  3. Enter in your profile, and then enter the folder bookmarkbackups .
  4. Copy the latest file from json (backup of bookmarks)
  5. Then restore from them:

• How can I move my operating system to a new hard drive or other solutions, must be the Media Center

  My computer a gateway 815GM Media center PC has become black and start with some gray characters and words back up your data and replace the hard drive is bad. (or similar) My question is how can I move the operating system Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to a new hard drive.  Since the problem is the hard drive and all the computer a new operating system should not be purchased.  If there is no way to move it is it possible Microsoft send a replacement free of charge, or at least OS with only shipping.  My computer came with it pre-installed, and I have not received the drive with the OS on it.  What can I do?  Thank you for your information.

  When you received your entry door, it came with a CD or operating system recovery disc. If you no longer have that (or has not made a recovery disc set a utility included), contact Gateway to buy a set of recovery disks. It is normally fairly cheap. Then install the new hard drive and booting with the recovery disk to restore your computer to the factory State. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• How can I reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive?

  I strongly suspect failure of hard drive on my old computer XPS 420. Data recovery isn't a problem. However, because the way I too lazy to buy a whole new operating system, is possible that I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista on a new hard drive? I told me that Dell will send me an installation disc to do, but how to make a record like this, and is there another way?

  I'm thinking of ghosting the HDD on another and the use of the recovery for nuke partition in a new facility, but it would even work?

  Thank you

  The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

  You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

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

  Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

  Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.
  
  First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

  Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

  Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

  Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

  Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

  It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

  What is obtaining a disc from the Dell operating system Vista OEM [If Dell still copies of this available media], but you can be out of luck unless you have a warranty from Dell, but it's worth a try to see what is happening.

  If you reside in the United States, or the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with an active warranty, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

  Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.

  If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.

• I have a WIndows 7 Ultimate operating system failure and required a drive for a clean install. I have the product key, but Microsoft offers no English option.

  I have a Windows 7 Ultimate active computer that was swarming (STRONGLY) of malware/virus/junk files/adware...

  I think I have cleaned out, but want to do a clean to be sure install, but I have no partition recovery (may be erased by a virus?) and no recovery dick.

  I went to the Microsoft website and entered my product key.  He has been recognized as Windows 7 Ultimate, but when I had to choose a language, English was not available.

  Any solution, or should I continue to use the computer and all hope is clean?

  EDIT - I installed the windows 10 (using an ISO image) on Windows 7.  I do not enter the product key when asked (the program said I could jump at this stage of the installation).  Installation went well.

  I then checked to activate Windows 10 - it activated without any difficulty.

  I will now try a clean install...

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  Once the installation is finished, click on finish

  Click go to the main screen

  Select the drive you want to resize in partition window

  Drag the button until you have an amount of disk space to install Windows 7 you want, and then release.

  Click on apply to apply the changes that you just made.

  Click Yes

  Click Yes

  Your computer will restart several times and changes will be made to the layout of the partition, this process is hands-free, so no interaction is required.

• Installation of operating system on a new hard drive

  My compact presario v4832ea hard drive just died yesterday. It's a Toshiba MK8025GAS - 80 GB Ultra ATA/100 EIDE hard drive - 5 400 rpm, 2.5 inches of width, height 9.5 mm. Now I think to upgrade to a bigger, but I don't know if I'll be able to use the installation CD of Windows Xp with a hard drive to a different size. I am fearing a message in the sense of "can not install operating system. Incorrect hard drive size.

• How do we install the operating system on a new hard drive?

  Hello

  I thought all I had to do was use my recovery disc supplied with my notebook, but while the laptop was working fine for a few days there is now an error message when I try to load windows, something along the lines of "image error, check the Setup disk.

  I did something wrong?
  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  Installation on the new HARD drive is very easy. All you need is Toshiba Recovery disk and you must boot from that disk to begin the installation. Everything is done automatically and factory settings are restored to the new HARD disk.

• I can't start Firefox (suddenly) or I can open the Profile Manager, what to do next?

  Windows 7, 64 bit. Experienced some Windows updates, but I restored before the updates and still failed to open Firefox. Can open Safari and IE.

  There is a problem early enough in the process if the Profile Manager does not start.
  You can try in Firefox safe mode then you can try in Windows safe mode using the F8 key.

  What you're saying, I wonder if you did a restore of Windows of some form and recreated Firefox like this. Firefox does not always correctly restores windows. You might be looking at re - install Firefox.

  If you are considering relocation do take all options of Windows or Firefox that offers to remove personal settings because that is going to destroy things like passwords and bookmarks.

• Lost my operating system XP - need a replacement drive

  The hard drive of my house died. I replaced and started to load the recovery discs for that are the bad discs. My ex had a HP compaq and it must have taken my records with his departure these instead. Needless to say, I can not activate the reload XP.

  Is it possible to get an installation for Windows XP disc or maybe activate the XP version of compaq to my ex?

  Hello:

  HP probably will not have recovery XP disks more.

  You can contact HP technical support and ask, but I think that they will confirm my opinion.

  The only place I know that could still have a scheduled for PC recovery disc shipped with XP is this provider.
