  If you plan to use Time Machine, so be sure that your backup disk is 2 or 3 times more capacity than the drive on your computer. Time Machine can use the space quickly.

  Time Machine deletes the old files if they have been deleted from the source when he needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

  Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

  Hello

  I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

  Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

  I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

  Hello

  Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

• DV7-7333 CL. : need help formatting has replaced hard drive in my laptop

  Greetings,

  I received instructions from HP another volunteer on a bad hard drive replacement. I replaced the hard drive with a new and need someoe to please guide me how to format my new drive hard back to the WIN 10 I had installed on the former. I also buy a 22 pin adapter usb to SATA.

  Another agent said that Windows 10 can be reinstalled on a new drive hard if your installation has been activated before. The activation servers Microsoft just know your computer and will be reactive. You must Access the media creation tool and have it make a bootable DVD player or you need a usb thumb drive at least 4 GB.

  I am in Germany but still do not know the language well enough and could not find a tool for creating Windows Media version in English free repacement.

  I don't know what to do to format my new hard drive... Please help!

  Thank you.

  Wes

  PROBLEM SOLVED (FINALLY)! I just wanted you to know that we have finally understood why the data on the computer with the media to WIN creation tool not was not download on thumb drive = Firewall! Not sure if everyone will have this problem but in collaboration with Windows agent, I happened to see a pop-up window saying something on the analysis of data not allowing not to download. It is therefore sometimes necessary to temporarily disable all firewalls and Web titles before starting the download.

  Follow the instructions of man Las Vegas thread above to create a bootable USB Thumb Drive to replace newly hard drive with OS Windows 10. HOWEVER, the following was not mentioned in his instructions, and not all computers can do this extra step so keep the following in mind if your USB key does not complete the upload.

  Again, to download data, I downloaded on the work computer, a USB key, I had to we need to temporarily disable all the security features on the work computer until you have completed the download of the WIN Media Creation Tool on the thumb drive process (this includes your private web anti-virus, we can use AND/OR the WIN Firewall and other security features available on the led computer. )

  I hope this helps those who have similar problems.

  Thanks again for all your help man Las Vegas thread!

  Kind regards

• I need help to retrieve my hard drive using the recovery of Neosmart disk (it takes days)

  To get a better perspective, I'll tell you the history of what has gone wrong.

  What happened is that the computer has a virus and it changed some coding on the computer. When this happened to that my computer wouldn't let me enter my account and the only account that I could go on was the administrator account. I tried on a few websites and the other microsoft Web sites told me to do something with the command userinit or something like that, which led to the black screen of death that I managed to fix it on my own.

  Another website told me to use the recovery disk but like a lot of people that I don't have a recovery disk, I only had a reinstallation disk that said I could fix the computer, but it would delete all hard disk that I didn't, I need the intact files because they are important to my family.

  Then I discovered on the recovery disk that you can buy from Neosmart.com and this disc is made like the original Vista recovery disk. Anyway I bought it and I clicked on "Automatic repair" and it comes up with 2 dives eligible for recovery (it says at the top) a player is 10 GB and the other is 288 GB (it says active is the 288 GB we) I clicked on repair automated on one of them, but I don't remember. Apparently fixed it (coding I guess) and I restarted but no consideration was there. He says "Please wait" for a long time, then it comes up with a single account that says "User" I click it and it says user name and password you will need to connect to a computer at school or something. I put my username and password anyway and it does not of course and it comes up with "the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.

  So, I went back on the recovery disk and I so I click on system restore to get my stuff back and I can put it on a previous date until the virus has arrived and I click on it, then it is said that his recovery, files, but just like that, I let him recover and he was recovering for 3 days before I came on this site and tried something but it did not work. Like I said before it is 288 GB so I guessed it would take a long time to recover only the amount of data, but it seems just silly.

  Could someone please help me with this with words that I can identify the disk recovery Neosmart.com please

  Important additional information

  I said before that I don't remember what I have fixed drive, the thing is that there might be I have set the wrong drive, but to be honest at this point, I feel like if I do a movement without knowing what it will do, im going to lose what's on that hard drive

  Important files are not for work, they are files containing family photos of many years we couldn't print on paper of good quality printing. There is no other copy of these pictures and I really want to keep them, even with my parents.

  The recovery of Neosmart disk contains the following options

  • Auto repair
  • Score editor
  • Browse/Backup of files
  • Internet browser
  • Launch the command line

  Within the Automated repair is where you can get the system restore. The others you can kind of guess, if you want to know so just ask.

  Help, please

  Thank you

  To recover the photos, you can remove the drive and it slave on another computer (you can get very cheap external envelopes) and remove your data (you have just learned an important lesson in why you need to have backups).

  Once you have saved your data, your best bet would probably be to reinstall. A good Web site for the removal of malicious software is that one.

• I need to reformat my external hard drive to use with Bootcamp?

  I intend partitioning very little hard drive space because I have 255 Gb solid state. I bought a seagate drive, because for the price, it has the best transfer rate. I intend to help if you are using windows. It would be nice to spend my money on a single external use. The drive must be reformatted for mac. I'm sure that means I can't use it for both, but I hope that I do not understand how boot camp and the work of partitioning. I hope that I can just reformat external use for mac and I can also use it in bootcamp with windows.

  If anyone knows how that might unfold, I would be grateful!

  Thank you

  J

  The Boot Camp drivers allow Windows to read the disc, but not write installation of MacDrive in Windows will provide write access.

• Need help to share a hard drive in vista

  How do you share a hard drive in Vista on a home network that the other network users can back up their music, photos, etc... I have 3 computers vista and and 4 Xp Pro on the network computers and all that I get a message saying "F:\ is not accessible. Access is denied. " CANY anyone help

  Hello

  The hard drive is missing on the permissions that are required.

  What are the permissions?

  Permissions are rules associated with objects on a computer or network, such as files and folders. Permissions determine whether you can access an object and what you can do with him. For example, you can access a document in a shared folder on a network but only be able to read the document and not to make changes. System administrators and users with accounts of administrator on computers can assign permissions to individual users or groups.

  To take possession of a hard drive.

  1. make a right click the hardrive / partition you want to take control and then click Properties.

  2. click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.

  3. click on modify. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  4. click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.

  5. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.

  6. click on OK.
