New computer - OS Win7 will recognize plu not HARD drive

Hi all:

Recently helped a friend build a new computer. We organize a new 1 TB WD HDD with Win7, it also has a former player who was under XP and he's still using it for storage. Everything went well on the initial Setup, we partitioned the loaded Win7 disc of the operating system, no problem at all. We can see the XP disk in the boot menu, but when it is connected on Win7, it cannot see the other drive to transfer files.

It is a situation where we have to dual-boot, or do we just boot from the XP disc and set permissions for sharing? I tried to read a bunch of different articles but could not come through all that corresponded to my need. I can't just understand why he would see the drive in the boot menu, but we cannot see at all by Win7 disk.

Thanks for your time,

Dylan

* edit: check spelling

Verify that the disk is present in Device Manager, then go to disk management and assign a drive letter to the drive.

You will probably have to take possession of the car. In Explorer Windows, right click on the drive, select Properties, then security and give the username corresponding total control of the order.

  • New computer, files are on old, external USB hard drive, impossible to get LR2 to recognize

    Installed LR2 on my first iMac 2 years ago and together towards the top so all my live photos on my external USB drive.  Bought my new computer, re-installed LR2, plugged my original HD USB and I can not get LR2 to look at the files.

    I looked around in the help and deleted my new computer HD library folder.  Now, when I start it, it asks me

    LR.jpg

    All my photos are on my USB HD (I can see them in the Finder), but I really don't want to have to re - import into LR2 again.

    Thank you!

    You must find the catalog that LR has worked with before you change computers.

    You see, LR cannot 'see' image files that are on a hard drive, unless you have the catalog to go with these images.

    For LR to work, you must always two things: the image files and the catalog (and your previews).

    So where is the catalogue? Best way to go about this would be:

    Connect the external hard drive to your old computer and open LR. Go to Edition > catalog settings > general Tab. Select "every time I left LR'.

    Close LR and the backup dialog box will appear that allows you to choose a save location. Select your external hard drive as the location.

    When LR finished the backup, connect the external hard drive to your new computer. In your operating system, go to the backup location and double-click the file with the ending "lrcat.

    LR opens with this catalogue, and if you have not changed the location and/or the name of your image files or picture files he will find the images.

    PS: Make sure that the external hard drive on the new computer has the same letter drive, as it had on the old computer. If it does not have the following:

    In the Libarary Module, you should see question marks in addition to your files. Right click on the folder that is higher in the hierarchy and point LR to the location of this folder on your hard drive.

    You are allowed to have two facilities enabled, so you can keep the original as a backup if installation you orefer.  If this isn't the case, then the minimum you need to do the old installation is to disable this feature by opening one of the applications and by selecting help-> Deactivate.

  • Backup Win XP does not recognize my external hard drive

    Windows XP Backup Wizard does not recognize my external hard drive and does not list it as an option for storing backups.  I suspect a registry problem because the backup wizard previously recognized this drive and saved on it several times before I was running ARO 2012 for cleaning the registry errors.  I can always open the player in windows Explorer and see the files it contains, but Explorer Windows XP now lists the drive as an "expansion disc" instead of a 'removable disk '.  When I right click in windows Explorer and open 'properties' for this drive, it shows it as a 'local disk' instead of a 'removable disk '.  The drive is ok when I click the button 'Remove hardware safely', and it reports "safe to remove hardware" after I click on "USB storage device - Drive (J :). ».  Help!

    Who did.  Thank you!  Now... I used Aero2012 to clean up the errors in my registry that's because my computer is desperately slow, especially when you start (8-10 minutes) and also with internet explore (move cursor to previous typos when you compose a new e-mail message).  Is there a safe way for me to speed up my computer?

    ·          How you back up files?

    ·          You get the error message?

    ·          It is visible in Explorer? Disk management how about you?

    You can put your system to boot and try to run the backup. This disables antivirus software and other third parties to eliminate conflicts.
