  Start Windows Explorer and locate the data that you want to transfer, select it and press on and hold down the CTRL key while tapping the c. key on the new hard drive and locate where you want to place the data and press Ctrl + V to paste the data.
   
  It won't work for data, it won't copy programs or settings of the program as they must be made using the Setup routine.

  1. Click Start, type cmd in the start search box, right-click cmd.exe in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

  2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  3. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  CHKDSK X: /R

  Note in this command, x is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume you want to check.

  5. close all applications and restart the computer. Note When you restart, Windows checks the drive for errors, and then Windows starts.

• reloading the files of the external hard drive to the new computer laptop

  I'm trying to reloaded files etc. from an external hard drive to my laptop. I took the files of my old office that was on is way out, so just in case I lost them all I copied them. I tried setting up my external hard drive and transfer just a couple of files just to see if it would work.

I do not know what I'm dong wrong as I am not very computor spirit, so that the answers would be useful in silly English thank you. Sorry to be so long-winded.

  Hello @shedeval

  I understand that you have copied your files on an external drive from your old computer.

  You tried to copy the files to the new computer, but when you disconnect the external hard drive the files are no longer accessible.

  I think that you have created or copied a shortcut to the new computer and not the actual files.  When you're logged out outside the new computer had more disk access to open files.

  I would like to redo the copy and when you finished externally, log out and then try again.

  Good luck!

• External hard drive not in my computer

  Hello

  I have a question on my external hard drive. It's a drive hard 2.5 "of Toshiba (1 GB).
  I used it already for a long time on my laptop (WINDOWS VISTA) and it worked perfectly until today. I plugged in my hard drive as
  usual and it does not appear on my computer. I looked on the internet and found something about research
  Start - Run diskmgmt.msc, (uitvoeren) - so I tried.
  He showed the next thing on my HARD drive:
  Disc 1
  Unknown
  931,51 GB
  Not initialated (niet geinitialiseerd)
  Unassigned (niet toegewezen)

  I didn't know what to do, so I tried some things. I pressed the right mouse button and he said "initialize disk". I pressed on it and he gave me 2 choices: MBR or GPT.
  I tried both, but they both said: data error: Ketal redunatiecontrole.
  So, I tried something different. I pressed the right button of my mouse again but this time on the black bar beside the disc information. He said "New simple volume", but I dared not go further because I didn't know if I would lose my data or not, if I would. Also, I didn't know how big the new volume should be.

  He also said that the device works properly when I press 'characteristics '.

  I don't know what to do now, and also I don't want my files to be deleted.

  Can someone help me?

  (Sorry for my bad English, if I write it in Dutch because you do not understand my problem, please tell me ;)))

  Can you please test it on another computer just to be sure, the same thing happens again?

  When you connect you hear beep sounds when the new device is connected?

• Moving files from an external hard drive to my computer

  I'm trying to move files from a disk external HARD connected to a router on my pc, and whenever I try to do the system show me a window with this message. IO error 0x8007045D error, I see a permission problem, then I configured for the 'Full' destination folder security access for everyone and nothing happened.

  Drive external hard there network permissions to connect with the computer and move files through the router?  Have already transferred files with the disc external hard connected this before?  It would work a lot better if you just connect the external hard drive directly on your computer.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
