Need help to replace my HDD - what to do I get?

• Need help to replace a physically C drive on several computer disks. I can't LOOSE the data on the secondary drive.

  I got 2 hard drives, a small disc with XP Pro and a big drive for storage and memory intensive programs. The disc is dead - physically (he's grinding wheels), not because of software problems. I managed to boot from the XP disk and copied as much as possible on an external drive to install on a new hard drive. Externally will not take the backup file. After that I restarted depui the XP disc, my secondary drive is no longer recognized. I copy the contents of the C drive on an external drive. Here are my questions:
  1. can I ghost the info on a new hard drive and skip the installation? Reason I have CS3 on drive F, but it components installed on the C drive (where CS2 was before I upgraded). I do not have my Adobe CS3 here records because it allowed multi, and my records are currently out of State with the other licensee.
  2. If I install the new disk, starting from the old drive with XP disc, can I ghost? (I have a tour customized for several readers) When I started the drive C before - he tried to install on my F drive. I have not installed (I can't lose the files on drive F), and now the computer does not recognize the drive. I bought a Seagate drive and they have great software for installation - so I'd like to ghost it. The XP disk reduced to nothing the new drive hard as he did the F drive?
  and finally, question 3. When the new drive, I get up and running, can I sign out the F drive, plug it back and Windows will see it? CS3 & Quark will still work if I have to do a fresh install?

  Hi jdohugh,

  Thanks for posting. If I read your post correctly your hard drive with your operating system on it died, so you lost your operating system and do not have to reinstall but you try to get down the important data before the reinstall.

  1 Q: can I ghost the info on a new hard drive and skip the installation? Reason I have CS3 on drive F, but it components installed on the C drive (where CS2 was before I upgraded). I do not have my Adobe CS3 here records because it allowed multi, and my records are currently out of State with the other licensee.

  A. Si your drive with your operating system does not work, I do not think you can ghost it and reinstall as the image would not work. With Adobe CS3 disks, you will need to contact Adobe and get them to perform the installation of additional supports. Simply copy the files likely will not work to reisntall the application.

  2. Q. If I install the new disk, starting from the old drive with XP disc, can I ghost? (I have a tour customized for several readers) When I started the drive C before - he tried to install on my F drive. I have not installed (I can't lose the files on drive F), and now the computer does not recognize the drive. I bought a Seagate drive and they have great software for installation - so I'd like to ghost it. The XP disk reduced to nothing the new drive hard as he did the F drive?

  A: as I said in question 1 if your operating system drive does not an image would most likely fail or be corrupt. If read correctly the other part of the question you the system tried to start installation on your f:\ that matches your drive program and now you cannot access the files on it? With the last part of this question, you will need to contact Seagate to see what makes their software, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by using.

  3. Q. When the new drive, I get up and running, can I sign out the F drive, plug it back and Windows will see it? CS3 & Quark will still work if I have to do a fresh install?
       
  A. Si you reconnect an extra drive to XP, the operating system should see it regardless of what it was connected to previously. With regard to your programs, if it is a new operating system you load then Yes, you will need to reinstall these applications on the operating system, and they should work with no problems provided that the drive is working correctly.

  I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

• Need help with replacement tips Sony hybrid

  Hey all,.

  Please first post here, so I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong section. This month I ordered the spare Atria hybrid Sony EPEX10A/BLK on Amazon.com. While he was trying to get a great tip on my Sennheiser CX500s, broken the coloured part. Now, I have only a great tip, which is currently normal the CX500 very well. I really need another great tip, and I don't know what to do. I thought that the best option would be to contact the Sony Support and ask for a replacement (I guess my warranty is still in effect, dunno anything), but I don't know how. I went on this website (http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/contact-land.pl) and support selected, and since I could not find my product in the list, I typed in what I thought was the model number, and it came with no result. I have no idea where the model number is on the packaging (which I still have).

  Can someone please help me to get a replacement? Other than the broken tip, what are the best advice I've had , and I would really like to continue to use.

  Thanks for the help!

  Contact Sony parts and accessories - they have a different number of Support technique Sony and should be able to find the right part for you - details on the following link:

• Need help to replace my DVD burner in the Acer laptop

  Hello

  I have a laptop Acer (TravelMate 5720) running in very good condition I bought about 7 years back!

  However, the motor in the DVD player does not now - he is gone and must be replaced by a new DVD burner.

  When I checked on eBay to buy a new DVD burner for this model, there are 2 types sold either IDE (PATA) and SATA DVD burners. I don't know which of those above my laptop supports.

  I checked the properties of the CD drive in my computer and it says "hl-dt-st dvdram gsa-t40n ata device.

  How will I know which of the 2 above that you buy... ??

  Kindly help me. Let me know in case additional specifications are necessary on this you.

  -Mr. Abed

  You must remove the unit from your laptop. You will immediately see if it has an IDE or a SATA connector. See Wikipedia so not sure what these connectors look like.

• need help syncing replacement of the external hard drive for Lightroom

  Hello Lightroom community.

  I've exhausted my research and am now seeking help. Please direct me to this information in the forum if it exists. Also, I am a novice and while I am learning lightroom quickly with all my time spent in forums and online videos, I am limited in my understanding of how it all works.

  Problem: I store my Lightroom Catalog and backups on my portable MacBook Pro. I use two external hard drives to store all my images and store my time machine backups. My external hard drive (1-hand) and my external hard drive (2-Back-up) were also well synchronized with the catalog and recognized by lightroom when I edited the pictures. I mainly used the DHM 1-hand when I edited, especially when I went. Last month, my main 1 - EHD died and was unrecoverable. I got lucky that my backup drive (DHM 2-back-up) has always had the images and changes.

  In order to quickly save my 'JEP 2-back-up"to a new 'Hand' work external hard drive replacement, I dragged and dropped the backup disk images to the new"Main"drive so that I can sleep at night. This gave me the peace of mind that all of my images and backups time machine were now on two disks again. (Note: the new ' hand ' disk has a different name. ") Is this important?)

  How can I get Lightroom to recognize and sync with my new drive and photos? Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to restart the process from the beginning? If so, where should I start? I'm afraid to attempt without some advice/suggestions from the experts.

  Thank you for any information, you can pass it along! Please let me know what I can provide additional information.

  Side note: when I looked to import the images of the new 'Hand' DHM - although this would make duplicates-Lightroom recognized that there are duplicates. So, where is the missing link?

  If you can rename the new primary drive to match exactly the name of the previous main drive, that should correct the problem.

  If this is not the case, then you want to open your Lightroom Catalog and then reconnect the top-level folder that contains your pictures by right-clicking on this top-level folder and then to find Missing folder pointing Lightroom on the equivalent top level on your new drive main folder. The details are described here (see Figure 4): Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  Side note: re-import never corrects this problem, it only makes it worse. Never use to reimport into solution in Lightroom.

• Need help with replacement disk on port 0 in Raid1 desktop machine

  I have a HPE 380 t. I have has a RAID1 (mirror) with 2-500 GB Western Digital. When I boot it says the raid has deteriorated and an error has occurred on the player connected to port 0, port 1 player shows ok. It's in the Manager of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, (Ctrl + I on startup). The machine starts again, but I want to replace the drive on Port 0 with another disk of 500 GB.

  How can I go on that so I don't toast all data on the drive Port1?

  I searched links and other places for help on this but nothing helps! Is there a tutorial or step by step instructions somewhere that I can go?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Mike,.

  Lucky for you that you are using non-RAID 0 and RAID 1 or your table would probably unusable.

  You can determine the status of your RAID configuration using the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) software.  If you do not have this software on your PC, then you can Download IRST from the Intel web site.  I recommend that you use the latest version available from Intel.  General information can be obtained from the TSRI User Guide.  When you launch TSRI, help topics are an excellent source of information.  You can access TSRI by going to the control panel and select Intel Rapid Storage Technology. You can also access TSRI from low location of the taskbar.  TSRI should resemble a hard disk icon and it normally has a green check mark.  By default, TSRI is defined as delayed start, so don't expect to see active immediately.

  1. Launch the IRST while under Windows
  2. Click Help
  3. Click on troubleshooting
  4. Click on gradient volumes and follow the recommendations. Scroll to RAID 1.

  Thank you

  Hi, amit,

  Here's one way:

  SELECT REPLACE (REGEXP_REPLACE (REPLACE (str)

  , ' '

  , '  '

  )

  , '(^| ) [R9] ( |$)'

  )

  , '  '

  , ' '

  )

  FROM table_x

  ;

  With a little more coding, your could do it without regular expressions.

• Need help with replacing a drive on a virtual machine

  Test case for something I need to do on a separate production machine.  Virtual MACHINE is running WinSvr2003.  Only the hard disk assigned to the virtual machine is one of 20 GB disk, C: using this.  Need to C: to be larger.  Add a 40 GB drive to the configuration of the VM in the CR.  Started an iso BartPE with plug-in in Ghost.  Ghost can copy the C: 20 GB drive on the 40 GB drive.  Went in the VM config and changed is the 40 GB SCSI 0.1 drive and the drive of 20 GB at SCSI0, 2.  After I saved, VMware changed the 40 GB on disk 1 and the 20 GB on disk 2.  Went it into the BIOS on the machine config to boot the disk of 40 GB.  But no matter how I put it in the BIOS, it would only start on the 20 GB drive.  Went in the VM config and removed the 20 GB drive (which is not an option on the production machine, it has a volume of data on the same drive).  It boots to Windows, so I guess it's start on the 40 GB drive.  But I am unable to connect to it.  It shows that the application of settings, record the settings, then back to the login screen, all within 2 seconds approximately.

  Is there anything else I need to do to (1) move the volume from the Windows system to a new disk w without side effects in Windows and (2) so that it can start on the new disk correctly?

  If it is a single virtual drive with 2 partitions and the C:\ is on the front of the drive, Extpart won't help. It is usually best to separate the partitions to multiple virtual disks. I use the converter to V2V the VM and move on their own virtual disk partitions, then develop them if necessary.
