• Why Windows Vista has replaced my old profile on another installation?

  A couple of months, I've lost my installation of vista due to a problem starting.  I installed a new one with the same name of profile and did notice at the time that he had replaced my old favorites that I had to recreate.  I also have the office, which also died because of a missing file (that was).  I remember that the file has been saved on my external backup drive and installed it this week.  In the meantime, I used Thunderbird, which has the same configuration of email accounts.  Now, I found that all my old outlook profiles have been deleted, which I thought would be safe on my old profile.  Ridicule me.  I also lost all my files from desktop settings - which is a couple of hours of work to fix, more personalized, dic will not happen, because I was putting stuff in years.

  Can I do to get my profiles and settings back?

  If you do a restore to the factory settings, the hard disk is normally wiped clean of everything during the recovery process.

• Restore backup files after the new installation of Vista

  I recently had to replace my main hard drive as it has completely crashed and burned.  Fortunately, I thought, I had been diligently backing up to an external hard drive.   So after replaced by a fresh hard drive and a new installation of Vista, I thought I could just restore these files from backup... but no luck.  New Vista does not recognize the old Vista backup.  And it will allow me to migrate these files in any usable fashion.  Is it possible for me to get the new Vista installation to access these backups from the previous installation of Vista?

  Hi Allisonerik,

  (1) what happens when you try to restore?

  (2) you get an error message?

  (3) was it a file, or a backup system image?

  I want to clarify if your backup media (external hard drive) is recognizing in Windows.

  Method 1: Put the computer to boot and then check to see if you can restore

  Follow step 1 in the link below,
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

  Method 2: Check your external hard drive to find errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

  Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

• I just got 6 seconds more and chose an old backup date of previous phone. How can I do it again?

  I just got the 6s more and chose an old backup date of previous phone. How can I do it again now that my phone is done with the set up?

  I don't know what you mean by redo. If you want to restore from a more recent backup, you can do so, providing that you have a more recent backup.

  Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

  If you have a backup you want to restore, you must first clear the device in settings > general > reset > erase content and settings. After the unit starts again, you will be at the activation screen and will be able to restore this backup, when you get to this point in the implementation process.

  If you back up with iTunes and you want to restore a backup from there, you will have the option to select all the backups that you have when you select restore from a backup.

• Need to remove data files existing Installer before reconstruction Installer?

  I hope that quick question - when I build the installer of my software, it creates a folder called Volume containing setup.exe and various other support files, including a 'bin' folder that has several levels of folders located below.  If I change my software and then rebuild the installer, it puts the new files in the same place.  My concern is that there is somehow a version older installation files are not replaced that might somehow alter the new software if I don't get their first road (for example by emptying or deleting the folder of the Volume).

  On a more realistic note, even if the functionality is the same, if there are additional files from a previous version that became useless, I can decrease the size of my Installer if I remove them.  I know that not related in the folder of the Volume files are left there when I have reconstitute the installer, for LabVIEW is not delete all the files before starting a new construction.  I don't know if it is remove all the unused files/folders in the multiple levels of folders under the folder "bin".

  Does anyone know if my concerns have any basis in reality?  Should I always remove the existing Volume folder before building a new installer?

  Thank you

  Joe

  The Application Builder will place the Setup files in the specified directory.  It will replace the old files, if they exist.  Files that were already part of the Setup program, but no longer, will remain intact.  It is always recommended to delete the folder of the Volume before you build your final volume installation folder.

• Replacing an old hard drive causes the system had become unbootable

  OK, here's the scenario.

  Background:
  My old computer with Windows XP has been installed on a hard disk of 40 GB. Later through subsequent updates, I bought the upgrade Windows Vista Professional (retail) and proceeded to install Vista on a brand new 250 GB hard drive. Initially, he had some problems I did a clean install with upgrade to Vista, but then with the help of Mircrosoft support (and several hours of reformats and corrupt the old installation of XP) managed to get Vista installed hard disk new and active. I kept the old drive hard in the computer for about a year, but then noticed that he was starting to get out. I moved all the old information off the drive and recently bought a 1 TB drive to replace. I deleted everything that above with the exception of a few remaining files that won't let me not delete - documents and settings and startup records, respectively.

  Problem:
  When I take the old 40 GB hard drive to reside on Windows XP, my computer when startup is unable to find a drive it can boot from. Under disk management, it is labeled as system - even if the windows directory is on a completely separate drive. My intention was to replace the old hard drive, but I can't get my computer to recognize that it is not on the system drive somehow.

  Question:
  Is it possible to change what hard drive is recognized as a system disk or make sure I can get out the old hard drive and still keep my bootable system?

  Hello Lightningfst,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum.  First off I would say that, before trying any of the suggestions I'm about to do that you completely back up the contents of the drive with Vista Business as a precaution.  The first suggestion I have is to copy the MBR of the disk of 40G to 250G drive.  It could be as simple as that.  However, when Windows sees a drive and initializes it, Windows writes a serial number of 4 bytes in the MBR (sector 0) of the disc. No matter what partition you create on this disc is then associated with the serial number and the drive letter that the partition is given.

  When you then progress to clone a boot partition on the new disk with a cloning program that does not copy the MBR, the serial number of the old drive is not copied to the new disk, so the new disk retains its serial number Windows has seen before.

  When Windows starts on the new disc, he sees the serial number of the new drive and guess the partition that is on that now belongs to the previously selected drive letter which is almost always not C:. Since installing Windows starts on C:, there is now no C: drive when Windows starts. Trying to connect allows Windows attempts to load the user from C:\Documents and Settings\registry, and the C: drive is not there, so Windows simply to abandon the attempt to logon and closes a session back.

  If this happens to you after copy the MBR of the disk of 40G to 150G Unit let us know and we can help you solve the problems that.  I hope this information is useful.

  Thank you

  Jack

• Old data to the new phone

  I have a Centro (sprint), which is synchronized including my calendar, contacts and photos. I recently had my accident of screen on my phone, so I sent the same brand of phone in replacement. When I try to synchronize the new phone, it creates a new (I guess what is called hotsync id). I am trying to get the data from my old phone (including photos and I hope txts and Memos) on to the new. When attaching the new phone with USB is there anyway I can tell Palm Desktop to crush the new data with the old data of phones phones?

  I think this would be a task very easy, but for some reason it isn't. Any suggestions?

  What kind of phone you're updating since?

  It would be preferable to follow the guide of Palm for the update to a new device:

  Procedure for upgrading from a previous Palm for a new One: http://kb.palm.com/ and enter 12926 (general Upgrade guide) or 45175 (upgrade to Centro) in the "solution ID:" box (lower-right).

• during an update lots of my profile folder has been put in a folder on the desktop marked the old data. How to restore this data file

  During a bet to update, automatic update of windows has started and some how much my profile data has been removed and stored in a file on the desktop. There is a simple and easy way to restore this folder from the current firefox?

  You can use the contents of the Old Firefox Data folder to "roll back" the refresh, but this involves several steps. It's probably even faster than the recovery of individual files and load those into your new profile.

  Check in the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds a folder with a random semi name on your desktop. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.

  Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:

  Overview

  Here are the steps described in more detail below:

  1. Create a new Firefox profile
  2. Delete all of this profile folder
  3. Copy in all of the old profile folder

  Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)

  Exit Firefox completely and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following in the Windows search, or the Run dialog box by pressing ENTER:

  firefox.exe -P
  

  Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

  Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.

  Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer

  Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • Menu help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.

  This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.

  Copy old data instead of new

  In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).

  Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.

  Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).

  Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.

  Launch Firefox

  Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?

• Firefox asked a "refresh", computer locked up before finished, created a "old data FireFox file on the desktop.

  Firefox asked a 'refresh', I pressed the button refresh and process running, computer then locked up to complete before. He has created a "old data file FireFox" on the desktop. I need to understand how trasfer the data in the old file of data in my FureFox 'new' to allow me to access my bookmarks and other. Thank you!

  Hi Ken, Firefox will not start now, complaining that it cannot find its profile, or it starts up, but data are incomplete?

  Here is a procedure to return to your prior to refresh the data. It takes 5 minutes, but it's probably faster than the recovery of individual data files and those in a new profile from loading.

  Check inside the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds on your desktop in a folder with a name random semi. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.

• Unable to recover the old data synchronization after reinstalling operating system

  Hello

  I was using Firefox 26. Recently, I've upgraded to the latest version. A few reasons, I had to reinstall my windows 7 OS.

  After I installed Windows 7, I installed the latest Firefox and tried to synchronize data. I was unable to connect because I forgot the password. I tried using the link "password forgotten", but he said there is no such thing as e-mail id. It was surprising to me. I'm still all emails, including the secret key, I used to add new devices earlier, since Firefox in my mail box.

  Since I left without another option, if I'm creating a new represent now on Firefox with old email ID. The account is created successfully. Again, it is strange to me. However, my old data are not synchronized.

  I need the old data. Help, please.

  -
  Thank you
  Ravi

  Sorry, Sync was not intended to be used to backup Firefox data before reinstalling the operating system. Its purpose is to synchronize several separate installations of Firefox, usually on the various devices.

  The old version of Firefox 26 uses another version of Sync, the latest version of synchronization happen in Firefox 29. The largest variation in sync had to do with the recovery key ('secret key') - is no longer something to see the user or has to deal.

  You should have installed Firefox 28 or earlier and then connected to your account synchronization to recover your data and then put updated for Firefox 32. By creating a new account with the same email address, your data has been wiped out by synchronization servers to allow you to start a new.

• How to replace an old time with a new Capsule?

  I am replacing my old Time Capsule (version 2008, 1 TB) with a new one (2016 2 TB).  How can I go about without screw it up?

  There is an option in the configuration... Plug the new TC on the network... TC WAN in all that is the current main router. If it's the old big TC.

  Open your Mac and go to the airport utility. (Your Mac must be Mavericks or later)

  Click on other WiFi devices (1) in the upper left corner... It will start the installation wizard.

  The wizard will choose the wrong thing... to extend the old TC's wireless... Do not worry.. Click more options at the bottom left.

  

  List of other Options choose, replace an existing device.

  

  The rest works basically automagically.

  The new TC will take the old values of TC... the old TC will be given factory.

  The end of it you will say to remove the old TC and plug the new TC in its place... voila... piece of cake... walk in the Park.

  You can then determine what you do with your old TC.
