my hard drive cloning will not affect the computer in the new OS?

I currently have a Gateway laptop that is running Windows Vista. The hard drive in the new ASUS that works under Windows 7 I just bought cloning affect or replace 7 with VISTA?

Hello

Yes, it will affect it

It will not work for many reasons

Your Gateway vista is an OEM license and is linked to the original machine on which it is installed

It is not transferable

even if it's a retail license, which is not the case, it would not start as gateway motherboard drivers are installed on the old hard drive

and above all, it will not activate because it is only an OEM license tied to the Gateway Laptop

  • Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog.

    Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog. Help appreciated.

    I used 5.3 LR on Win7, never pay attention in the name of the catalog used. My photo files were on the same physical hard disk D: partition.

    Now that I have a new computer Intel NUC, with Win7 installed on drive C: (SSD M.2), I plugged my old drive hard drive E: (old C :) and drive F (old d :))

    I have re-installed LR 5.3 and also upgraded to LR 6, , but the problem is that I can't find the catalog I was using with LR 5.3

    I searched for *.lrcat and see all previous catalogues lightroom starting with LR 2, 3, 4, 5, getting bigger and bigger, but not catalog 5 including the current date.

    The catalog would have another name or extension?

    I have the old C: drive. Is there a config file that would confirm where the catalogue is supposed to be?

    Help!

    HM, it is clear that it is not found on your old C: (so E :). )

    And there is no config file to tell where to find the catalog to Lightroom. It's just that the catalog is in the place you choose (most of the people chose to have the catalog to the location by default...).

  • Windows 7 Media Center will not download the new guide listings

    Hello

    I am really frustrated. WMC will not download the new guide listings and I tried all the patches that are supposed to be that I found in this forum. I also tried the system restore, which did not fix the problem. Obviously the problem is not affected by the restore program.

    I was able to determine that there is some kind of corruption of the WMC files that Windows 7 can not solve (according to the event log).

    I'm a bit exasperated at the tenacity of this problem. Y at - it a reliable fix or I need to reinstall Windows 7?

    Thank you

  • the .xml file will not hold the new version I am writing on the 'AIR for iOS settings' window on Flash cc 2015

    Hello

    I need to download a new version of my app on iOS, but the .xml file will not hold the new version I am writing on the 'AIR for iOS settings' window on Flash cc 2015. It keeps appearing as:

    <? XML version = "1.0".

    also when I try to download the new .ipa on iTunes Connect with the Application Loader, I get this message:

    "" "ERROR-ITMS-4238:"redundant binary Upload. " «"" "" There is already a binary download with release ' 1.0.0' train ' 1.0.0 ' "at SoftwareAssets/PreReleaseSoftwareAsset»»»

    The problem is not of Application Loader or iTunes Connect as when I open again the .fla and check the window 'AIR for iOS parameters' he continues to display the 1.0 version over and over again. If Flash isn't that save the .xml file.

    And it happens with all my other apps Android or iOS, old and new versions, all appear as <? XML version is "1.0" on the .xml file.

    Is anyone know how can I solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    There are two different values, the build number and version number. If you use a test flight, you can submit an update without obtaining a review by increasing the build number. If you are submitting an update to an application in iTunesConnect, you must increment the version number.

  • Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

    I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works...

    I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

    I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

  • Replaced the HARD drive, but can not reinstall the operating system

    Evening,

    I replaced the HARD drive on my laptop and used the sony recovery media kit, but the error message "can not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers.

    The HARD drive is a Toshiba of the same style and size. Sony sent me two sets of disks, I replaced the HARD drive twice still have exactly the same problem.

    Any ideas before using it as a target would be useful.

    Thank you

    C

    It is possible that the new hard drive, you bought are 4 k sectors and not 512 KB, which is necessary to make it work properly.  If you have a practical clean Windows installation disc that give a try and see if you encounter the same error...

  • Portable hard drive from old notebook in the new computer.

    Hello

    I have a portable dv-9830us recently bit it.  8600GS got flakey.  I bought a laptop DV7-7000 series and wanted to pass on the old hard drive in the 9830us and put it in the DV7-7000.  When I put the old hard drive in the new laptop, I got a BSOD that flashed by too fast for me to read.  He tried to repair the installation of win 7, which I allowed him to try, but it failed.  I'm thinking that it is a hardware/driver incompatibility related issue, since the new book obviously has different hardware.  Is there a way to get the existing windows installation on the old hard drive to detect hardware on start up again and install new drivers to allow it to boot on the new laptop?  I really don't want to reinstall 4 years worth of things on the new machine.  Both machines are running legitimate Win 7 Home edition.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hello:

    It may be that you have already discovered, for the reason you guessed.

    The material is too different for Windows to even try to start on your new laptop.

    You are going to have to bite the bullet and transfer your files to your new PC.

  • My big Hard Drive Partition will not be displayed in the Defragmenter

    So, it's weird, but when I start my derangementer disc, it will not show my 'c' drive  I have 2 drives, a 'C' drive and a drive to "D".  D is just for backup, while C is for all program/system files.  Then, of course, C must defraged for the computer normally elapse.  Does anyone know a good work around or if I can re - install disk from somewhere Defragmenter (please include the link to all sites if you have a method of re-installation). Also, I tried planning as a task and C will not always be displayed.

    Hi DanSiroky,

    Windows that reports using its built-in algorithms and these standards, drives
    do not defragment. However, there are other commands to change how the Defragmenter
    reorganizes the files on the disk. 3rd party tools can also be used for added functionality and/or
    different methods for the arrangement of the file.

    Take a look at the links with a similar question.

  • Re: Satellite A40 - hard drive error - will not start

    My friend bought this laptop in April 2007 and has been very happy with it until about a month when he stopped startup in windows xp.

    At the start, she now gets the message

    "PXE - E61 media test failure - check the cable for.
    "PXE - M0F outgoing intel boot agent"
    "Insert system disk in drive."
    "Press a key when you are ready.

    and then the laptop does not start in windows.

    I thought that the hard drive can have detached, so I took it out and he handed in a State, but in vain.

    I also tried to reinstall with the recovery CD but get the following error message
    status «»
    GDISK (E) no such fixed disk 1 "

    It is followed by * ERROR *.
    Error number 11030
    invalid message destination drive
    X;

    I ran a Toshiba (or he could have Hitachi) utility disk that I burned on a cd and went up on the audit boot.

    It said there are problems on Toshiba MK4025GAS, which is the hard drive. details coincide with what it actually says on the disc.

    The BIOS sees the drive start on as he is listed as the master, with the cd as the secondary drive.
    Therefore, is it true that the drive is broken. If so - can it be repaired or is there another solution.

    I tried Googling the error message and there are conflicting messages on this issue, so your help would be very appreciated.
    It seems crazy that the reader can break after only 18 months - was there a defective batch?

    If that's the case Toshiba offers a replacement or it will cost a lot?

    Thank you

    Post edited by: Nashy - sorry - it was bought in 2007 is NOT 2006

    In your case, the HARD drive is certainly defective and you need to replace. Satellite A40 is pretty old laptop without guarantee valid and there is no replacement from Toshiba.

    Just buy a new HARD drive. Hard drives for this good old classic are not more expensive.

  • Windows Vista - after the RESTORE partition HARD drive: WINDOWS COULD NOT COMPLETE the INSTALLATION. TO INSTALL WINDOWS ON THIS COMPUTER, RESTART THE INSTALLATION

    Hello

    For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

    This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

    ________________________________________________

    You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

    See you soon.

  • hard drive installation / do not install the drivers before that I installed Vista

    I installed a new hard drive on my laptop and then installed my vista reinstallation cd before installing reinstalling drivers and utilities cd, and now some of my drivers are missing, especially for the wireless card, so I can't connect to internet / y at - it an easy solution for this?

    Install now and they will update those that are currently installed, or install the drivers, some of whom are misssing.

    Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers, get the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device or disc they provided but prompting directly from web site can be better because they may be more recent than those appearing on the disc. (NO Microsoft updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.
