• Can I have the HP Portable hard Drive 500 GB connected all the time to the laptop?

  Hello. I bought a HP Portable hard Drive 500 GB with USB 2.0 to 3.0 running on Windows XP in a Toshiba Satellite laptop since 2003. I had a few problems, probably due to the low speed of my USB port, but now it seems OK, as I moved it to a different USB port according to the instructions for help. My question is if the hard drive has been designed to be connected all the time or if I have to disconnect me and just use it whenever I have store information. Thank you

  Hello

  I connect 3 of them to one of my laptops all the time. I actually use a (7 ports) USB hub

• install the new laptop Hard Drive

  Hello LR Adobe Support.

  I have 5 LR installed on two computers one single office, another laptop. Hard drive portable c when the bad my Builder said I had a connection problem crossed that my programs would not start all the time. Anyway I did install a new SS drive can I install on my new HD LR? I have the drive both of the copies I own with serial numbers.

  Thanks for your help

  Barry

  First of all, it is an open forum, not Adobe support... so MOST of the answers here are other users (and, the LR5 is an old version, so I don't think that Adobe provides support)

  When you have a non-functional computer and cannot turn it off, click on the link below

  Serial number and activation support (no-Cloud) https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2041990 to adjust the number of activations

  You install programs exactly in the same way you did the 1st time... Put your disc in the drive, and enter your serial number when asked

• How to transfer Time Machine backup to the new external hard drive

  I'm upgrading to a 1 hard external to the Western reader to with 5 TB of Seagate.  This is because Time Machine has used the 1 TB drive.  How can I transfer the files from backup Time Machine from the old to the new drive so that backups continue to have access to the old files.

  Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.

  This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.

  First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.

  Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.

  Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.

  If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.

  Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.

  ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."

• Satellite L500-128 using recovery on the new (larger) HARD drive discs

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba L500-128, the original 320 GB hard drive is just too small and I would like to avoid buying an external hard drive (for backup purposes), because in my experience, they are just rubbish and I want that all my data on the laptop.

  I wanted to buy a new hard drive 1 tb (maybe 2) put into it, I guess it is equipped to deal with, (Please someone correct me if they know otherwise) with 4 GB of ram...

  In any case I am really wondered, whether or not I can get out with the help of my new hard disk recovery disks.
  If they did it the old-fashioned way (sending an OS disc and a disc of pilots) I wouldn't even question, but as I created disks of the computer itself, I wasn't too sure when I opened the drives upward to make sure all burned on them ok, I never saw something like what I expected.

  Also, I read somewhere that someone else has tried it and it didn't work, they assumed because the recovery included an image specifically to fit the original hard drive size?

  Can someone enlighten us all please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First, you must create the Toshiba Recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
  Usually, you should receive a confirmation message that the recovery was created successfully.
  This means that you can use this disk to restore the laptop to factory settings is not serious what HARD drive is in use.
  This means that the recovery disc should work with the other drives.

  But note; This recovery disk using would format the HARD drive and remove all HARD drive partitions. But this should not bother you if you use the disk HARD vacuum ;)

• Buy the new internal hard drive

  I have HP Pavilion dv4-1242TX

  Recently, my original 320 GB (Western Digital Scorpio Blue - WD3200BPVT) internal hard drive crashed and become inadmissible.

  So now I want to buy a new 500 GB internal hard drive, but I'm confused if my laptop it will support or not.

  Internal hard drive WD Blue 500 GB laptop computer (WD5000BPVT / WD5000LPVX)

  MAIN FEATURES

  Other than the size, I see no difference between the two discs.  Just having the Recovery DVD set available and install the new drive, run the set of recovery and off you go.  If the old drive is toast, there's nothing else to do than to run the updates from Microsoft.

  Or install Windows 7, commercial version of your choice.

• Windows Vista install the new WD hard drive empty - does not not :(

  It was my original question: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/HP-Pavillion-a6645f-No-hard-drive-detected-BIOHD-2-err...

  And now...

  I got my CD of HP recovery and ordered a new WD 500 GB HDD... same features as the seagate who pooped me and I can't get windows install on the new HD

  No matter what I do, computer wants to open the Recovery Manager and according to the available procedure does not work.  It works me in circles asking for #1 drive, then the drive recovery supplement and back with no progress.

  What I have to do is use this form: http://vistahomepremium.windowsreinstall.com/installnewhdd/installnewhdd.htm but only the Recovery manager opens when I boot from the CD.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  If I followed your questions correctly... you had a BIOHD-2 error, ordered HP recovery discs, replaced the hard drive and tried to restore your system with no luck. Is that a correct assessment of the situation?

  OK, you need to make a Windows Vista install screen... not who's going to go with your HP recovery CD/DVD. The disks do not contain the Windows installation routine, only the HP Recovery Manager. These discs contain more or less, an image of the HP installed OS and software, plus some drivers and applications. To the best of my knowledge, you should have three DVDs (1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3/3) more an additional drive. You should boot from CD 1 of 3... Then, when asked to insert the 2/3... Then, when asked to insert 3/3. And finally if/when necessary additional drive.

  At HP; Recover the system after the hard drive is replaced (Windows Vista)

• Can I transfer to the new computer hard drive with the operating system

  I am building a new computer and want the best way to transfer my data.  I can transfer the data to a new SATA drive and then install the new drive in the new computer without having to do anything else.   Or I can install XP on the new computer first then do the transfer queue using the old IDE drive in a portable USB enclosure?  or?

  John

  Sort that works is great.

  If you use the USB case, make sure that it can provide enough power to the drive.  Usually this isn't a problem if the old drive was a laptop computer but can be a problem if it was a desktop drive.

  Assuming that your old computer still works, the easiest is to put all the files you want to transfer to a folder, and then share this folder on the network.  Connect both computers to your home network, then simply attach to the shared folder on the network from the other computer and drag and drop your files to your new computer.

• Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

  I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works...

  I'm not very tech savvy, so I know there must be something very simple, I'm do wrong or overlooking and I hope that some dear soul on this forum or someone from Microsoft can give me an idea or two.  Thank you very much

  I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

  I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

• Traded to the new computer hard drive.

  I moved a hard drive with photoshop on it to a new computer and when I launch photoshop I get error error 16 photoshop cc 2015.5

  Was you swap a boot disc and did start you the new calculated with the OS on this drive.  If this isn't the case, you must install Photoshop on the new computer.  The Photoshop Installer must configure Photoshop in the new computer system configuration. You can not simply launch Photoshop.exe located on the shared disk.

• Inspiron 13-5323 does not start after the new installed hard drive

  Fall of my Inspiron and Geek Squad said she needed a new hard drive.  I installed a new identical to the former myself blue WD.  When activated, it immediately passes to "Phoenix Securecore Tiano Setup.  Pre-launch tests indicate that the new hard drive works fine.  I tried to start in safe mode UEFI and in the boot Legacy mode, but no boot.  I get a message "Not found operating system".  It is my understanding that this computer has an operating system embedded on the motherboard.  I previously had it improved Windows 8.1 to 10.  When I tried to boot mode safe mode using F8, I had the same operating system not found message.  The F2 and F4 keys on commissioning do nothing different, either.  Am I missing a step in the window settings of Phoenix?  Suggestions while in Phoenix window bringing me could happen to start the system would be appreciated.

  In fact you have reloaded the operating system?  If not, the new drive is empty - it's why you see the message you see.

  You will need all the recovery media, as you did when you received the system - or, if you do not prepare a set, you will need to call Dell to buy a flash drive with the media today.  The alternative is to download Windows 10 TH2, of the same version (standard, pro) that has been installed and activated previously.  You can then reload the operating system.

• Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - with the new SSD HARD drive replacement

  Satellite L50 - A - 1 DG

  I would put my SSD in the PC and install win7 on it. But it does not work.

  I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  I tried to replace the SSD hard drive. Then the pc cannot start up. And I can't get into the bios or adjustment.

  Someone knows what's the problem?

  > I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  This does not work with all models of laptops.
  As far as I know that the laptop must support Slim Select Bay and the BIOS should also support this hardware option. But in your case, it doesn t.

  One possible solution is the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk.

  You said that you are not able to access the BIOS after these updates.
  Well, before you do this (a SSD drive connection) you should access the BIOS and must disable secure boot and must set the start mode MSC mode.

  The comments appreciated.
