Office Pavilion - 400-540hk: unable to retrieve files from the old desktop USB HARD drive

My old desktop (model: CQ4128HK) can be power on. So I bought a new desktop computer (model: Pavilion Office 400 540HK). I have a lot of important files in my old office, so I bought a SATA-USB enclosure and connect my old hard drive to the new office. However, after connecting the old HARD drive, I can't find my files or windows folders; Instead, I see that a single drive with folders named "Backup-xXXx" or "WindowImageBackup".  Please suggest how to recover my files on the old HARD drive. They are very important. Thank you.

Hello

Please try this first: bring the box (old HDD) and connect it to a machine not HP to see how it goes. I remember I have one similar problem in another day; reason: the old HDD still has a "signature" as a boot device.

Kind regards.

  • Retrieve files from the old hard drive

    I have an old desktop pc that was running windows xp. I started the upgrade to vista but lost the product key and never managed to get a new one. There is an error message when I try to start the pc. Im not interested to fix it, but I want to get some files off the hard drive (mainly of music). Currently, I have a laptop running windows 7 and I was wondering if it was possible to connect the hard drive of the PC to my mobile (as an external drive) and recover my media files. Is this possible with the upgrade failed, if so what would I need to do?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Perhaps, but without knowing exactly what you were doing to the old drive I can't guarantee success.

    You can buy an external enclosure for your old hard drive that will turn it into a USB drive. You will need to remove the hard drive from your old computer and insert it into the caddy. Before buying the caddy, determine the type of your old hard drive (PATA or SATA) and make sure you buy the correct caddy. PATA hard drives have a very wide (5cm) data compared to SATA cable (less than 1 cm).

    If your old PATA drive, I would recommend making sure that the jumpers are positioned for the reader as a "master". There should be a diagram on the hard drive, informs you of the jumper configuration. I met a few caddies who were sensitive to the riders 'cable select' or 'slave', i.e. did not work with these settings.

    Once you have connected the caddy via the USB port, no data on this subject should be available via a drive letter.

  • 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.

  • How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?

    I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.

    (2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)

    Hmmm...   Never tried, but I "think" it should work.   The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.

    1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.

    2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.

    3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change.   Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.

    Files to be copied.

  • After you run the migration assistant, do I need to copy files from the old image of mac "Shared" for my new mac?

    I run migration wizard, but the image presents itself as "Shared" for my old iMac with an option to eject beside him. That means when I eject it, it is gone? In other words, can I copy the files from the "Shared" location to my new macbook, so that I can just eject the imac and be good to go? Thank you.

  • Linux RT - copy the file from the disk on USB

    Hi migration my code to a target of VxWorks to one target Linux RT (9068), I'm having problems to run a piece of code that copies files from the cRIO on a USB drive!

    This code works perfectly under my VxWorks (and same Pharlaps target). See attached VI.

    Some files (100k.txt, 1M.txt,...) are present in the my drive 9068 tmp folder. And I want to transfer them to my USB Flash DRIVE (U).

    The two folder exist when the code is running (checked with my WebDAV client).

    When running, the copy function returns 'error 8': authorization error.

    So I tried to check what was my permission on the folder U: 511. I tried to change the permission to 700: error 8!

    I then checked 'who am I'-online lvuser. I then connected to my webpage cRIO-online user permissions => I added my lvuser 'FSRead' and 'FSWrite' rights. The reboot of the target. -Online copy of files always returns error 8!

    However, it seems that I can create and write to a file in the folder U... I can read the files in the folder U... but not copy? !! ??

    What is going on? Can someone tell me how to copy files from my cRIO on my USB drive? Why is it difficult to do the basic things?

    Hi Paolo,.

    As described in my second post, file tmp is not the problem.

    I wrote to / c or even in/home/lvuser... Has not changed anything.

    It seems to me that the cam of problem of the fact that a lvuser (default user executing code lv) can not fundamentally 'touch' files created or modified by an administrator...

    In the first link you posted, at the end of the document, it is written:

    "Access the file and folder permissions are not applied on targets in real time OR the operating systems VxWorks or PharLap.  Objectives NI Linux in real time, on the other hand, use and apply the standard Linux style file and folder access permissions. »

    As I am not very familiar with the Linux environment, I might be nice to have more details about access permissions style of this linux standard.

  • Windows XP - a problem to transfer big file from laptop on an external hard drive

    I have a problem to transfer large files (mail.pst - zipped file - 5Gbyte) of the laptop (Dell Latitude D630) on an external hard drive (WD 320 G - FAT 32) where each time, I got the message "there is not enough free space on the disk" although I did successfully drive clean on both sides and there is enough space on both sides (not less than 25 GB).

    Also, I did a checkdisk command and he succeeded, and I use Windows XP

    I did several tests to resolve and in the end, I found that I convert the format of external hard drive FAT 32 to NTFS, and then I could successfully transfer the file.

    I used the following commands:

    (1) command line then chkdsk to repair bad sectors

    (2) convert the command line to change the format to FAt 32 to NTFS

    Note: For Windows xp, "convert" command will not delete the files from the hard drive
