put the old macbook pro hard drive in the new macbook pro

so I have a MacBook Pro with a port of moniter fried on the motherboard and the battery started to swell physically so I removed the drive HARD and RAM end of 2009. So here's my question; Now, I received recently a late 2010 MacBook Pro with a smaller HARD drive if I put my 500 GB HDD from my old computer and now I wonder why it does not start even if it's a MacBook Pro registered, formatted and updated HARD drive already?

Does not work like that. The OS X is for the Mac that you pulled. Bus information processor and the room and everything. Buy an external USB box and put the old hard drive in it. You will be able to recover your personal data and you can delete it, format and use it for external storage.

You cannot shoot a hard drive with OS X work and put it in any Mac. Once installed, OS X belongs to the Mac, it was planned to organize. Any OS that way, is not just Mac.

Bravo!

    You must set your BIOS to start on the DVD from the beginning to the top.

    You have a good DVD of Vista (OEM/upgrade or full version) and NOT only a recovery disk provided by the manufacturer of the PC (or you burn you).

    For a DVD upgrade, follow the method here and make sure you format your HARD drive thanks to the tools of "advanced install" on the DVD.

    If you have a full version of Vista rather than a version upgrade then just do the first part of the above procedure.

  • 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.

    Windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Original Dell drive (Seagate) is dying, according to Seatools. Cannot get Seatools for DOS to boot so can not do follow-up proposed by Seatools.

    The disk OS must ALWAYS be in the first place?

    Or can I leave the player dying in the first slot and put the new in slot 2?

    I saved the player dying on a disc USB external, and done the checkdisk for several hours.

    New drive (WD) Acronis, so hopefully I can just clone the old drive to the new. But I could always use wise counsel on this part as well.

    You need not connect by USB disk. Connection to a free SATA port will be much faster. You need a cloning utility that you can put on a CD or a bootable flash drive, then just select the origin and destination drive.

    How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

    Keep all image files both places?

    What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

    Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

    As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

    As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

    Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

  • Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

    Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

    Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

    You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.

  • 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!

    OS 10.6.7

    Intel i7 iMac

    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.

  • I want to clone my original equipment existing 500 GB HARD drive to a new 1 TB HARD drive replacement. How?

    G ' Day,.

    I'm getting too big for my old 500 GB HARD drive, so I bought a new 1 TB HARD drive.

    Now I have all of the rescue disks that I made when I first got my laptop Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU . I could use them & fresh install all software & original OS, but then I have to start from scratch and re-install all the software I have installed, in addition to redo all adjustments & changes I made to the Windows 7 operating system since the first day - a year ago.

    Not really how I want to spend the next week or two around.

    I would like to clone the orig 500 GB HDD & all of its content to a new 1 TB of HARD drive.

    Sounds like where I want to go, but for 1 small question. I heard that if I just I'll have about 500 GB of space available new but I was also told that I will not be able to create new partitions of disk on the new HARD drive because of any existing partitions on the original HARD disk are created.

    1. is this true?

    2. in the case, where can I find a failsafe procedure to accomplish the clone, & then create 2 new partitions to cover the free space on the new drive.

    3. If so, is there a work around? If there is what is the procedure (plse give me cramps of brain with the jargon of techno... tnx)

    Some additional information that might be important.

    At the present time, my HARD drive has this configuration:

    Now that (Q) Local drive is diferent.  It shows 0 bytes available & 0 bytes used, & I don't have access to it.

    Computer of my wife... another laptop CQ62 model... also has the same drive,

    but hers is labeled as Microsoft Office 2010 Starter... as 0 bytes available & used - also no access, & as below, not showing is not in Dmgt.

    This drive does not appear in my Configuration of MANAGEMENT OF RECORDS : http://i.imgur.com/r4LPrDa.jpg

    Thanks for your time & consideration... Bobby

    Him early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

    OK...'s done it!

    I used my CLONING HDD DOCKING STATION friends exactly like this, but he bought from a different seller 2 years ago.

    All I did was take my 500 GB drive original & placed in A slot (the front slot - Master) & I placed the new Toshiba 1 TB disk in slot B (the second slot behind Slot A... Middle - Slave). I turned the power on the box. I waited until readers spun & were ready, & I don't have a press the red button on the box...

    25% light started to blink & cloning began...

    About 40 minutes later 50% light began to Flash & the 25% brightness has remained stable.

    This means that 25%of the process has been done, & he went to 50%. .

    This sequence was continued until finally all the lights were on fixed (25% to 100%) which means that the clone was complete.

    I think it took about 2 hours and 15 minutes to clone completely.

    I closed the box power off. Then, I removed the two discs.

    I installed the new drive in the laptop carefully, & reinserted the battery, & I plugged power/charger/adapter sector of the laptop.

    Then, I ran into my fingers & press work / laptop computer shutdown.

    A few seconds my laptop has been as always to initialize.  I just had to check to make sure that I have installed the new drive... & Yes the one on the desk was the original, no doubt which means that my laptop startup disk was indeed the new drive I cloned just to.

    My laptop is started without fault!  without a hitch. Just as he always had.

    I used my computer management Administrative tool - disk management & made a simple volume for the 450 + GB of free space, affecting the next letter available player - in my car (F) case & I named it so.

    Everything worked perfectly, I can read & write on the new partition/volume. As I mentioned previously, I probably won't be able to start from scratch, but my drive (C), but it's fine for me.

    So, what have I learned?

    Well, first of all, my Compaq Presario CQ57-105TU can go to 1 TB of HARD drive without modification.

    Using the cloning method, I did no doubt saved full at least 1 weeks of resettlement work if I selected the new installation method using backup/rescue disks when the computer was first, I created started way back when.

    Outside the 2 + hours time, it took to clone the drive, 15 +/-minutes initially to remove & reinstall the drive, & the time it took to assign the new free space a drive letter (every 5-10 minutes) the procedure was clearly simple cut, I know could have been done differently, but not as simply as the method I chose.

    Pepe, thank you much for the time you spent researching my issues & responding to my message.

    I'm so glad all your fears & roadblocks have been made not, & in the end, it was possible to accomplish the task against our initial concerns - count in a very loose way with the greatest ease.

    Here are some pictures of the Station of Clone (the box) exactly like the one I used:

  • Transfer my hard drive to a new computer.

    I bought a new computer, and I want to transfer my hard drive on my new computer, so I can't transfer files, 1 and 2 to expand my space even more. When I installed the hard drive from my old to my new computer and boot from the old hard drive it breaks down and a blue screen on me, the blue screen does not last long enough for me to get this information. Can someone help me get my harddrive is over?

    I don't see any info regarding what computer or OS.  Installs Windows will do exactly as explained when moved to another computer dissimilar.  Need information on the old hard drive, start the operating system that came on the computer and then try to watch the news on the old hard drive.  Do not expect to be able to run all the programs that are installed on the hard drive of old.

  • Strategy to put the new 320 gig HD (Vista Ultimate) i in my Inspiron E1505?

    I chose XP - pro, when I bought my E1505 two years ago, but I knew I'd finally Vista so I made sure that the notebook had the necessary material.

    Well, that time is here now, and I decided that I put Vista on a new HD but keep my old 100 gig HD just as there are (under XP - pro)... just in case.

    So I acquired a new concert 320 HD caddy, a new copy under license of Vista Ultimate (with SP 1 including disc) and the Dell "Reinstall MediaDirect" DVD. Now I will download all the drviers of Dell Vista and put them on an external HD (and CD) so I'll have to their loan.

    I think it's all that I need (pls advise otherwise true) and, according to the Vista Upgrade Advisor, my Inspiron should be Ultimate without any problems.

    Here's my current strategy. I would like your comments.

    1. Put the new HD into the caddy and install
    2. Run the DVD in Dell MediaDirect
    3. Install Vista Ultimate
    4. Installation of SP1
    5. Install the drivers
    6. Reinstall the software (MS Office, Adobe, etc.)

    Seems nice and simple, so I'm probably missing something... Am I?

    No, you can't.  The latest version of paint is only for the latest version of Windows. Because the painting is integrated into the package of Windows you cannot uninstall and then install a more modern version.
