replacing a hard drive with a large new

I have a 500 GB external hard drive, which is now complete.  I bought a new drive again to 2 terabytes.  The original drive is defined as the drive 'e' and other things outside of lightroom that recognize as well.  Can I copy all the photos on the new largest disk and rename the e drive?  Lightroom will recognize all images, files, and folders as if nothing happened?

Or do I need to everything to a new drive in lightroom that will need to be labeled another letter?  I use windows 10 and lightroom 5.  Thanks for any help and thoughts

Yes! (As long as you keep the same folder hierarchy, do not start move folders or photos in the area around to within the hierarchy)

Lightroom will recognize all images, files, and folders as if nothing happened?

Yyes!

Related issue: external hard disk might work better with a letter at the end of the alphabet, probably Windows to change the letter itself, to stop what can happen if you unplug the drive and then connect again later. If you want to know how to do that, we do know.

  • Re: Tecra A9 - 11M - replace the HARD drive with a larger

    I have a Tecra A9 - 11 M with Windows XP Professional installed. I would like to replace the hard drive with a larger drive and install Windows 7 Professional.

    Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?

    Difficulties to install Windows 7 on this model?

    Hey,.

    > Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
    I assume you mean 500 GB and not 500MB, right? ;)

    Well, the Tecra A9 already supports SATA interface and there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface, so you can install a 500 GB HARD drive or more (750 GB, etc.). Just make sure that it s 2.5 SATA HDD.

    You can choose each brand of HARD drive because each model will not work. You can buy a Toshiba HDD, Western Digital HARD drive or another. No problem ;)

  • Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

    I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

    (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

    (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

    (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

    Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

    the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

    also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

    However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

    for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

    Good luck

    hope this helps to & help

    Happy holidays!

  • Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?

    Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?

    or would it be too expensive?

    Yes.  There are several alternatives.  I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook.  It works very well.  Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

    Re: This win to install a SSD drive in a PowerBook G4?

    Re: SSDS  (my post is halfway - "this is how I did with my trusty Pismo...) »)

    FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

  • Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Nowsome keys on the keyboard no longer works.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

  • Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?

    Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
    750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.

    Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

  • How to replace the hard drive with an SSD on a model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286

    Hello

    I would like to replace the hard drive on my model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286 with a disk solid state drive (SSD). First of all, I would like to know if this is possible. Second, what is the best way to do it? I'm under the Yosemite OS if that makes a difference.

    Here are some technical details of my current system:

    -MacBook Pro 15 inch, late 2011 model A1286

    -OS yosemite

    -16 GB of memory/RAM

    -Currently using stock HD

    All instructions step by step would be helpful with what software should I use to make backups of my current operating system (e.g., SuperDuper). I would also like to know what tools or material I need like type of screwdriver, cables to transfer data to the SSD, etc.. My goal is to not have to reinstall each app one by one on the SSD, but if that's the only way to do it then it's okay.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    You can see instructions OWC here. Tools are mentioned in the discussion (I used a plastic knife picnic with the stronger edge somewhat blunt for nylon pry tool). I suggest you invest in one of these external fences. Install the SSD in who and clone internally externally with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Then move the external drive of the internal drive after the start of the SSD in the external to confirm the operation.

  • Do need me an adapter to replace the hard drive with an SSD

    I want to know before I get out my drive if I need adapter to replace my old hard drive with a drive way SSD SSD drive to connect directly to a MacBook pro six, one?  Or do I need an adapter for the interface on the SSD

    SATA SSD have the same footprint than conventional hard drives (some may be thinner than 2 mm, but the closing screws are adjusted for difference) Although adapters can be provided, you must not use in your MBP.  I installed three SSD in my Mac without adapters.

    What is the best upgrade kit? Thank you

    See the following list of videos for removal and replacement of the hard disk. (hard disk set)

    You'll need is a mobile SATA 2.5 "SSD to replace the wisk hard legacy spinner with. I highly recommend that replace you it with the current disk cloning to the new.  This is the simplest method. See the sticky that I created in this section of the forum for more details on how it's done.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/how-to-upgrade-your-notebook-to-a-SATA-2-5-quot-SSD/TD-p/4563352/jump-to/first-unread-message

    An SSD of 256 GB or higher capacity is recommended as a replacement for the disk hard legacy currently installed. An SSD of 256 GB or higher capacity will allow to use the recovery media that you created with the HP Recovery Media Creator utility.

    See the following links to NewEgg.com to see what will work. You can use SATA, SATAII and SATAIII interface SSDS. None of the other types of interfaces are compatible with the motherboard and the BIOS of your laptop!

  • DV6-6119wm: HP Pavilion dv6-6119wm - replace the hard drive with a hard drive from a laptop Gateway

    OK (deep breath). I have a dilemma, and I hope that you all can help me.

    First of all, the HP laptop in question is a dv6-6119wm QE069UA #ABA, Windows 7 Home Premium.

    A month ago, it began overheating and then blue screened on me with a fan error. I ran it while I was getting this error, which was a mistake, because according to me, he has finally caused the hard drive failure after enforcement of reset factory several times. But I'm getting ahead.

    I replaced the fan and the heatsink myself. Another factory reset. Downloaded and installed all the updates of windows. Ran great for like a week with the exception of the fault 1 hard disk when I ran the Start Up Test.

    Then when I restarted yesterday... He's dead, so he is dead.  Apparently, the hard drive failed completely and comes only a black screen telling me it cannot start.

    So, I have this other model of Gateway laptop, NV55C26u which has stopped charging. I had to put it away and don't worry. I got out the hard drive and tried HP successfully. ! Sorta.

    It considers that the HP is a gateway and as a result, none of the drivers are there for all the good stuffs HP. It cannot connect to the internet and does not recognize the USB flash drive. (I had downloaded all the drivers on another laptop and put them on a pious flash drive I could convince the hard drive it's HP again). Another hard drive WILL work in the dv6, and I had no errors on startup it upward.

    I have no recovery discs or store bought Windows 7, all came with the laptop preinstalled. But I don't have my key to the label.

    Then what should I do? I'm not exactly tech savvy, I know just enough to be dangerous haha, but I tend to go glassy when things get too technical. I thought I could get something Microsoft to reinstall my Windows but I guess they closed this path down a few months ago.

    I have access to 2 other laptops, both HP. A QE304UA of Pavilion G7 #ABA with Windows 7 Home Premium and a HP 250 G2 Portable F7V84UT #ABAwith Windows 7 Professional.

    So basically in order to encapsulate this novel to the top, which can do here to fix my dv6? How can I convince this other HDD HP rather than Gateway? I can create something from one of these other HP laptops? Download something somewhere? I don't want to have to buy Windows again. I love this phone and need her in my life as a game.

    Please help me

    You must do a clean install of Windows on them. The hard drive has drivers for completely different material. Too bad that you did not have your drive to retrieve the value. It would restore the hard drive to HP with all the drivers/software installed. It would depend if the hard disk is at least the same capacity or larger than the original. Recovery discs are reluctant to a smaller capacity hard drive.

    You can order recovery Medai for about $16:

    If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match that's installed on your PC as shown on the sticker COST Microsoft fixed on the bottom of the laptop. Like Windows Home Premium.

    I hope that my local service center will replace my TECRA mainboard (later I'll tell why). Will my drive HARD with the password protection work and my files accessible encrypted fingerprints after a motherboard CPU replace?

    Windows 7 Pro will start in after this 'upgrade' hand / replace?
    (I have read the thread similar Tecra S5 topic, pls do not link which closed thread)

    Hello

    Usually, the HARD drive password should work after the replacement of the motherboard.
    The fact is that the HARD drive password is stored in a special area of the HARD drive and should not be an issue this motherboard has been replaced.

    I found this info in the knowledge base of Toshiba:
