• How to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the same file on it and have it just add new files instead of replace all old already on there, as well as to add new?

  I want to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the file already on it and not having to replace all the files each time. I just want to click and drag the folder to the external hard drive and have it add new files I've added in the folder on my pc over time on the external hard drive.

• Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

  I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
  If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

  How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

  In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

  The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

  NTLDR
  Boot.ini
  NTDETECT.COM
  Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

  Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

  When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

  Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

• Can I get the Win 7 on a hard drive with multiple partitions without erasing all the data on the disk

  I have a HP p6310f with a 1 TB hard drive partitioned into two partitions.  One I have a Win 7 OS, which becomes more and more corrupt.  I would get a new version on the other partition and keep the old version until I don't know that I have restored all the programs and data properly, just in case I need something and are struggling to rebuild.  Is this possible?  When I tried to install the recovery disks, they said that the entire disk, not just the score, would be erased.  This seems a bit silly, but I am very worried about losing key information and programs that I am not able to restore.

  Hello

  If you use HP recovery disks to reinstall the operating system, you are right that they reformatted the whole HARD drive before installing the operating system.  As far as I know, has no way around that.  The only thing I can suggest is to make sure that you are able to get the installers of any program that you need before you restore the PC and maybe do two backup copies of all your personal data, just to be sure.

  On the link below, just select your operating system (Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit) and verify that you are able to download the drivers and software you need before you reinstall it.  You can always save installers for a writable DVD etc. now and then just to run it from the disk when you want to reinstall.

• Recovery on satellite Pro C660 - 2KM with new HARD drive with the restored recovery partition

  Hey people,
  I had a problem with a virus on this sat pro, so I decided to completely erase the hard drive to get rid of this virus. Before I did, I saved everything partiton D including the recovery path and after clearing course, I copied everything returns to a place (second partition).
  Now, try to recover and do not know how to do it. F11, F10 and F8 seems to not work. Do I need the recovery media created with recovery media creator or can I still use the recovery on the new partition D: path?
  Thanks for your help in advance,
  Stefan

  Unfortunately, recovery doesn't work on this path.
  What you need now is the recovery disk.
  In general the recovery image on the second partition is useless and you will not be able to start.

• ProBook G1 430: Encrypted hard drive and the corrupt Windows Installation

  My laptop has an encrypted disc using HP drive encryption.  Recently, the Windows installation has become corrupted and I could not repair the installation using floppy disks to install Windows because they cannot access the encrypted drive, nor can they be accessed by other facilities of Windows if I plug in the external drive.  The two methods see the Windows partition as a RAW format.  I guess it's only because the partition is encrypted and has no way to determine the actual format type.

  I searched around to find clues as to how I could get past the encryption, but without success.  The computer is no longer under warranty, so I'm looking for options that will allow me to have access to the data.  The methods I've read all required the computer under warranty.

  I can still go through the encryption after the computer starts, but Windows Setup gives an error and tells me that I must use an installation disk to fix.  I have attached a picture of the screen of the error.

  I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide to solve this problem.

  After much patience and time on the phone with HP, I finally able to return the encrypted Windows installation.  They gave me a copy of the WinPE environment was a software that allows you to decrypt a partition which was encrypted with their software and execute commands Windows on it.  I then ran the repair bootbcd order and I was able to get Windows to start.  To obtain this software, my case should be escalated to tier 2 support.

  The activation window is empty. XP Pro SP3 + System (2 updates the version) beta of SP4 added due to problems of program. Build 2600.xpsp + sp3_gdr_101209-1647(Service Pack 3). Problem started after the replacement of the boot hard drive that wasn't. New drive has been a ghost of the old boot copy and active. Having the disk key and product to install but the CD won't deal with any problems indicating that the version of the program is different, probably because of upgrades SP.

• Installation of Win XP on a new hard drive with the new motherboard

  I have currently baught a new motherboard and hard drive.  I tried to load XP on a new 250 GB Western Digital SATA 2.0.  When you run the Windows Setup program formats the hard disk to NTFS and then said the system will restart and launch the installation.  Upon reboot, new XP starts the Setup program and wants to format the drive again.  It shows her format partition and when I go to format again once it is said that in doing so, I would be deleting files from windows that have already been installed on the system.  Why does this happen?

  Set the BIOS for SATA "Native IDE" then I deleted the partition.  RELOADED windows and the problem has been resolved.  Thanks for the help.
