New (old) hard disk that is formatted in a new computer (different former)

My old SATA hard drive in my desktop unit is dead. I got a SATA to my old laptop sitting around, and he had the same connections, so I installed it in my desktop unit. What I want to know, is using the key of the laptop or the desktop for activation unit or will it be a new key entirely?

The only way you can use the product key is if they are of the same corresponding edition. If they are not, you will need to perform a new installation using the edition correction for this key.

  • Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

    The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

    Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

    Windows XP and earlier versions:

    \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Windows Vista and later:

    \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

  • I have a clone of the hard disk that my images are on for the trip.  How to run LR using that drive rather than what he became in general?

    I cloned the drive that my images are on a hard disk that is tougher to travel.  Think of this as an extra back upward.  How to run LR using that drive rather than what he became in general?  My plan is to return to the top/clone the drive trip to the typical reader when I go home.  The catalogue is available on a MacBook Air I'll use at any time.  It is not just enough space on the hard drive of MB Air for images.  I thought of naming the road trip with the same name as the player who is at home, and know that LR, but I think I'll get confused by doing this. The info on the two drives is the same at this point.

    Thank you.

    You use the update folder location command, as explained in part 2 of this document: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

    You can consider using Smart saw instead of wearing of the pictures with you on an external drive, if you have the space.

  • Is it possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine?

    Hello

    I was wondering if it is possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine? In the affirmative, please could someone advise me on how to do it. Also utility management and disk transfer can be used in virtual machines to do this?

    Thank you very much

    Tim Auluck

    I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. Can you please clarify!

    Basically you can resize a virtual drive or add a second virtual disk to a virtual machine and transfer/copy files. You can also resize the virtual disk using VMware Converter for example.

  • Windows XP can be installed on a new hard disk that is 500 GB?

    The hard drive on my Dell laptop d 620 crashed so I bought a new one that is 500 GB.  The windows software that

    You need two things to support a drive larger than 137 GB:

    1. a motherboard with a BIOS and a controller that supports 48-bit LBA supported (or alternatively, an add-in controller card that does).

    2. at least SP1 of Windows XP.

  • How to transfer files from the old hard drive to a disc new hard, old hard disk has been removed?

    I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.

    The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

  • HPE h8 - 1360t: replacing old hard disk broken with new

    My hard drive is broken and I was wondering if a sata3 or just sata works for her. In addition, since my old is broken that means I lose my operating system? If I do not lose my OS, how I to reinstall?

    Sourdude249

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your message on the SATA Plug and the reinstallation of your operating system and wanted to help.

    Concerning the specification SATA, your PC will take care of 6 GB/s drives - SATA III.

    Reinstallation of the operating system, regarding what you need is HP recovery media.  It is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

    Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.

    Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    Note that if HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck

  • How can I transfer my smart collections of the old hard disk on a hard disk new?

    I installed a new SSD in my Macbook Pro.  I used Migration Assistant to move the application, and I manually copied my libraries.  In the transfer, I lost all my smart collections (I got a few tens of individuals).  I still have the old drive with the installation of LR intact, so I can access it if there is a way to copy on the parameters of my collection.  Thanks if advance for any guidance.

    rpandita: you must export this collection in the catalog and then move it to another computer.

    I believe that acpft24 has copied with success of its catalogue and photos on the new diskette but wants to transfer the definitions of its smart collections, not the pictures that result to invoke smart collections.  Catalog export won't.

    ManiacJoe: Smart collections are found in the LR catalog. By going to the new HD, you need to move your images and catalogue LR and all your LR presets. http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-Lightroom-to-new-computer/

    If indeed the goal is to transfer the definitions of smart collections, then the referenced article will tell you how to do this, in addition to all your other preferences and presets.  I don't know why the Migration Wizard does not do it right, but of course, it didn't.

    Note that the definitions of smart-collection is not stored in the correct catalog, but in LR preferences file.  You can see the contents of this folder by preferences > Presets > show Lightroom Presets folder.   The "Smart Collection Templates" subfolder contains files text .lrtemplate, one for each smart collection.

  • can I save a copy of the library of Photos on a hard drive that is formatted for PC?

    I've seen several references to the requirement that a hard drive be formatted to Mac OS... but here's my situation... I back up my everyday Mac files and folders (with commands simple copy/paste) on a 2 TB disk that has been formatted for a pc. It seems to work fine for me.

    MY QUESTION - can I copy the photo library (mine is now 15G) of this same drive (even once... it is NOT formatted in OS) to provide care? Yes, I'm not going to try to "open" here but I can copy it on the Mac and do work properly. im just trying to be able to recover from a crash of my Mac.  If my Mac crashed, I won't be able to backup the library of Photos of this PC drive formatted to my new Mac, and then open it as usual.

    extra credit question: what exactly is a "library" file I see that it shows with another icon in the finder, compared to a folder or a file.  im guessing that it is some kind of package that has the hierarchy within this user every day didn't need to dive in...? but in the context of my Q... can I copy this library (from 1 location 2 location) as if it was a garden variety file?

    1. no outside a Mac OS Extended format disk image. Note that if the drive is formatted FAT32, the file size of the image must be less than 4 GB.

    2. Yes, it is.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 5: sounds from the HARD disk that is not regular

    Dear,

    I bought a new Satellite A200 - 1 M 5 1 week there are, but I have noticed a noise coming from your hard drive that is not regular, whenever the drive is currently in use, there is a noise from him. It's weird, I had Satellite phones precedents and never faced that.
    is this normal in this series of satellites? or damage my hard drive? Although it works very well so far.

    If anyone has an idea about this, please let me know it.

    Appreciate it.

    > Whenever the drive is currently in use, there is a noise from him. It's weird
    Who is normal behavior that the HARD drive makes sounds while working.
    On some disks, the sound is louder and some drives are quieter.

    My laptop comes with a 100 GB HARD drive and I noticed that this HARD drive work harder than the previous 40 GB HARD disk.

    I don t think that there might be a problem with your HARD drive. It of new.
    So, in my opinion you should t be worried.

    and if the HARD drive is going to die your warranty covers the replacement ;)

  • access to the "My Documents" folder on the HARD disk that does not start

    Recently, I got 2 hard drives put in place into a monster of table (SATA) on me. I had an IDE hdd hooked that I had just never deleted. My "mirrored array' failed me so I ended up replacing my MB & CPU and started from scratch. The IDE hard disk has some very relevant info, I need to recover. I can get to basic files in there, but my most important stuff is in my folder 'My Documents' but as far as I can get is to open "Documents & settings". Another thing I try to open fails. I made a password but have no way to enter (at least AFAIK), I would appreciate greatly any help on this problem. Thank you
