  Go to folder options in Windows Explorer > organize, click the view tab and select "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck the box on "Hide protected operating system files".

  Copy and paste the following text in the address bar of windows Explorer. Don't forget to replace "XXX" with your own username (or one that has been used by modifying the file), C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

• I have blown my motherboard on an old computer and hooked up my old hard drive to the new computer and want to transfer my favorites on the new drive but cannot find where they are located on the old drive - any help?

  My motherboard went bad on my old computer, but the hard drive was OK. I bought a new computer and plugged my old hard drive to it via a usb adapter. I would like to import or copy my favorites from the old hard drive to my new, but I can't find where they are. I was unable to determine the search for articles on the web. Be advised that my old hard drive is basically nothing more than a place of storage for files at this point. My old operating system is windows XP, and my new system is Windows Home Premium.

• Hi I reinstalled my Win XP Home because the current drive was getting old. But I installed it on a new hard drive connected as "Slave" but now he can't start

  I have connected the new hardrive as a 'slave', re-installed my Win XP even & re-patched everything on it including SP3, programs & ups back-ups, but oh no! the new hard drive when it is plugged in as a 'master', it does not start!

  But with the old hard drive connected as long as 'master', I have the option of "dual boot".

  I guess because my new drive is not a reader of "system"? I can see that my old drive is listed as 'system '. How to make my other even without having to re - install all over again? Thank you!

  Hi Fishlipps,

  Thanks for posting. Most likely you see it as your boot.ini is located on a drive corresponding to your system on a different drive. The easy way to do this would be to reinstall or do a repair on the computer installation. Please make a backup before attempting this.

  1.	When the message Press any key to boot from the CD appears on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.
  2.	When you see the message to install Windows XP nowand then press ENTER is displayed on the Welcome to the Setup screen, press ENTER.
  3.	Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.
  4.	In the Windows XP licensing agreement, press F8 to accept the license agreement.
  5.	Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP is selected in the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.
  6.	Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

  Another option would be to modify the boot.ini located directly on the root of your drive. Below is a knockout with instructions on how to do it. However please backup all your data by doing one of them because both can make your computer unbootable.

• Recovery of my favorites from an OLD hard drive to a new PC

  I took the old drive from the laptop and put it in a USB enclosure, so I now my whole OLD hard drive as drive E... .but no applications will run in fact of course.
  Then... I want to find my OLD profile on drive E (especially the bookmarks) and the copy and put it in my NEW installation of firefox on the C drive. The two computers were / are running Win7 64 bit if that helps.
  Thank you very much in advance for any help.

  If explore you the following folder, it should contain your profiles:

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

  You may need to display the hidden files and folders: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7

  If you find more than one folder, try the one with the most recent modification date and look inside a folder bookmarkbackups. Here you should find the individual .json files with dates in file names. The most recent copy to a more convenient location like your Documents folder. Then, you can use the steps in the following article to restore to your new installation of Firefox:

  • Restore backup bookmarks or move them to another computer

  Please note that the restore process completely replaces all you have in your new Firefox. If you need to preserve the new bookmarks you have saved, you can use the import/export process, as described in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962313#answer-446564

  A little luck?

• My old computer died and I want to save filed from my old hard drive to my new computer

  Hello

  My old computer died, and I purcassed a new p6230y of computer a HP. I installed my old hard drive in to the new computer as a second HD in hard drive Bay 2. I would like to transfer my files from the old HD to the new HD. I would then format the old HD and use it internally as a second HD. After the installation of the drive hard I can't find the old man (HD) on my computer. I see that the old HD has been installed successfully by running a diagnostic of the car. All this out OK. I can't access the old HD in some way other than the quotes, and when I start the computer I can see that a second HD is installed. What I am doing wrong? And what can I do to access the info on the old HD and use it as a second HD in my new computer? Am I missing some step in the implementation / install? Help.

  Thank you so much. My knowledge of windows 7 is very limited. You helped save all my files on my computer. Thank you once again.

• Possible to recover files on an old hard drive using the new computer?

  Hi, my old computer CPU fried making UN usable. I just bought a custom P6150t of hp and I was wondering if there is some way I can install the old Hard drive in the computer I just bought. I really want to stay away from the team of geek or something that's going to cost me a lot of money. Any suggestions?

  It is certainly possible, in fact, it should be fairly simple how experienced you are with computers. Hand, you have a few options I can think. Was of course since I am not aware of what kind of hard drive in your old computer, you will probably need to buy an additional cable\cord\connector to connect to the motherboard, and if it is an old IDE drive, you can buy an IDE to SATA as one of them.

  This is all assuming you want to keep the hard drive installed on the PC. And although it may sound intimidating or difficult to do, it's really not! If you can put some screws with a screwdriver, you will be able to install the old drive if your new PC. Simply enter the model number of your PC to the HP drivers & support web page or click on the following link: upgrade and repair, (this is for the model number you provided) read the first couple pages & then proceed to PDF page #17. Read & review the instructions once in a relationship, print out the instructions if necessary, collect tools (flat head screwdriver & anti-static bracelet), then just follow instructions & take your time paying attention to the illustrations. It is frankly less work & easier than typing all of this out.

  Either way, you can easily connect to your computer must use one of these: existingUSB-adapters IDE that allows you to directly access a device of ATA/ATAPI IDE interface. Everything is a matter of preference and what you are comfortable doing.  To find these items I already mentioned, just google 'em and either find a computer store nearby and investigate with them or order from a decent distributor in your country for the best prices. Overall, there are many more options that I've listed here, but they are all relatively will do the same thing; that is the type of player, you must convert a USB cord. Hope this helps! Good luck!! -tmt-

• Had to reinstall CS2 in new computer Win7x64. Old hard drive of the computer is dead. Could not recover. Cannot enable reloading of CS2.  Any suggestions?

  I recently had a Win7 computer down and I decided to buy a Win7 upgrade solid x 64 computer.

  Reloaded all my apps I had on the old pc (couldn't use the old hard drive.  He's dead!  New system has SSDS)

  Each top-up went fine except for my CS2 software.

  He said that I had to activate my software.  Not much so I tried via 'internet' and received a window "Activation Server is not available".

  So, I went "Phone Activation" and got a window with my serial number and an activation number, with the Activation Type: Normal 24:24

  He said to call 866-772-3623, which only said to go to www.adobe.com/go/activation everything which was take me for an explanation of the activation page who basically told me to do what I had done in the first place.  for example, no help at all.

  I tried the direct number: 206-675-6222.  (The number was disconnected)

  So my question... How can I get an activation code of my CS2 software?  Where should I go, either by phone or through the net?

  You need to acquire a special version with its special activation code.  See the following...

  CS2: Error: unavailable activation server | CS2, Acrobat 7, hearing 3 -.

• Replacing the old hard drive to a new hard drive

  Hello!

  need help, I replaced my HARD drive with a new... How can I reinstall the existing operating system?

  What Type of format should, I used?

  Laptop model:

  HP Envy Sleekbook 4

  Windows 8 x 64

  The problem is that the BIOS key Code is Windows 8 and that you have installed Windows 8.1. The embedded key will not activate Windows 8.1. If you want to do this for free and use the key that came with the computer, you must install Windows 8, activate it (or it is activated) and then move to 8.1 by the store. Or just buy a key for 8.1 and use it to activate the installation you have.
