• 8 victory: The external hard drive with a system image back to usable for saving other files?

  Hello

  In the back of the System Image, I find that the system only allow to use external hard disc.

  May I know after I created the image of the system, should I completely stop the use for other purposes?

  If I save files inside, it causes the system recovery process in the future to failure?

  Thank you

  Yes, external hard drives can be used to make files backup and store. Backups are stored in separate locations and files user does not, unless the save area is changed manually.

• Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

  I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
  If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

  How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

  In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

  The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

  NTLDR
  Boot.ini
  NTDETECT.COM
  Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

  Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

  When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

  Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

• Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

  I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

  While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

  So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

  TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

  Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

• After installing a new HARD drive, I get a screen "control i to access the configuration utility.

  Help?

  I installed a new HARD drive on my xps 15 because the old drive crashed. Everything works fine and the system boots perfectly. Before entering the Dell splash screen, the screen "control i to access the configuration utility" appears for 5 seconds. After that, the normal boot sequence resumes. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do about it?

  Here is a link to the screen I get started: http://s102.photobucket.com/user/alexcinie/media/photo_zpsb75f0a7f.jpg.html

  The mSATA drive is used as a cache for the hard drive dynamic - these are essentially implemented in a RAID 0 array.  See the link below (it is for Alienware, but applies to your system as well).

  If you want to keep the disk cache, you need to configure the array as shown.

• Image vs cloning on the new HARD drive with an operating system already installed.

  First of all, I'm NOT tech savvy.  I apologize in advance.

  After several warnings error that my hard drive was in danger of failing, I was finally able to install a new HARD drive.  Windows has had some difficulty in installing Windows 7 to new HARD drive, but I finally found a solution.  So here's my current situation.

  I have the main drive (old) (C:\) which has Windows 7 and all my data on it (it is a Seagate 1 TB HARD drive that came installed on my Dell Studio XPS 8100).  I installed a new WD Black 1 TB HARD drive and was finally able to get Windows to download on it (it reads now like two distinct? score?) E:\ and F:\) see photo.

  

  Now, my question is this...

  I want to save all my data from my old HDD and put it on my new HARD drive.  One that I have this, I would like to remove the old Windows 7 HDD and use it as "extra" space

  Make a clone of the old HARD drive to the new since I have already installed the new Windows 7 HARD disk?

  Please advise and please keep in mind that I might say things correctly and I can't understand though if the answers are on my level.  I appreciate any help!

  OK, so here is what I would do to try to avoid problems of compatibility or driver, as far as I can:
  -Turn off your system completely and unplug from the power outlet wall
  -Disconnect the old drive in your system (SATA and power cables)
  -Place the new WD Black on the main port SATA (should be labeled SATA0)
  -Turn on your system and put your OS drive you can do a completely new installation of the operating system.
  S ' ensure that you have updated all the drivers and the operating system after the installation
  -Turn off your system and plug your old drive
  -Turn on the system in the BIOS and make sure the WD Black has the priority starting on the old HDD
  -Boot into the operating system and copy all data from the start of your old disk partition that you want to keep for the WD Black
  -Go to disk management and delete the old boot partitions and the old drive system
  -The old HDD should be your secondary drive now and you can freely move files between the two disks
  N ' have in mind that due to the new copy of the OS, you must reinstall all the games and programs in order to operate because of the new system registry

  This should put you on the safe side and prevent any compatibility issue or driver which is possible during a clone or restore procedure. :)

  I installed a new hard drive for my dell Inspiron 1525 and try to install windows 7. He asks me to install the driver. How to do it

  Using the Dell recovery disks to reinstall?

  The origonal drive failed?

  If you are using a real MS win dvd during the first part of the installation it can not find a drive or ask a driver, then the driver is obtained from Dell, specific to your model, its likely the driver sata, you need to download to say a USB and then point to this file when the installation application the third-party driver.

  Am trying to re - install Acrobat 9 Pro (includes the Distiller) after installing a new hard drive. iMac 27 "2009, ElCapitan 11.11.6. I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?

  Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.

  Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.

• Install a new hard drive - need advice!

  I intend to install a new hard drive on my Compaq C500
  All hard drives are the same physical size or do I need a specifically for this laptop?
  I do not have the windows install disks, but I have the sticker on the laptop with the product key to this topic, is it possible to download and install it?
  And what I have to install the drivers manually or it will install when I install the OS?
  Thank you
  Tom.

  I don't know of anyone who has a copy of it,
  Is there a way I can download and install with the product key that I have?

  Yes, but if it is not an official partner, I can't give you the link.  And currently I don't know any for Windows Vista.
  For Windows 7 (Digital River is an official partner of Microsoft): [link]

  Hey rcfball66

  You can always buy a gateway vista recovery disk to reinstall vista back to the factory with the new drive settings

  They provide at a nominal cost

  manufacturers of hard drive normally supplies free software to their Web sites for the movement of the operating systems of the old hard drive to the new hard disk cloning you buy home

  You can also use programs third 3rd to do this, or upgrade Vista Home Basic vista full for pc full upward

  but you can normally buy 3rd party programs

  read below information about such a program

• clean install on new hard drive

  My hard drive crashed on my Hp laptop.  I installed a new hard drive and want to install my os vista on the computer.  I did the recovery disks when I bought the computer and told me that I could reinstall the operating system on the new hard drive.  My problem is that I keep getting error codes 1005 and 100a.  It stops the installation.  I then told me that I have to buy own recovery disks.  Can someone make me scroll through the process of getting the OS on my computer.  Can I use the recovery disk that I did or do I need to buy new, or I need to find a single version of full vista... Please help and thank you in advance!

  I'm sorry but it is the HP recovery, not Microsoft Software/process of.

  Also, you did your own Disk(which is correct to do) Recovery, but nobody would know if you make them correctly, or not.

  Contact HP above the link for any problems with their software/recovery process.

• Upgrade to Windows 8, but I need to install a new hard drive first

  Hello

  I'll be upgrading my laptop's current (under Windows 7 Pro) to Windows 8 Pro for $40 on October 26. Before you install Windows 8, I'm going to install a new hard drive in my computer. I need some help on how I can do this...

  Is it possible for me to install the new drive hard while I am upgrading. I plan to do a clean install anything. If so, how should I go to?

  Thank you very much for your answer.

  Mike

  Create the backup of the image that your computer is now (with Windows 7) before installing Windows 8. If anything should go wrong then just restore Windows 7.

  I would like to disconnect the LAN cable and any other unnecessary internal or external device before the upgrade. If all goes well then connect the local network and activate Windows 8.
