Review of an installation of Win 7 Home Premium with apps on 2 discs, C and e.

When I installed Win7 on my new homebrew, I put in a small 80 GB SSD, but used as Boot C: drive... some programs and Windows itself are here. However, since that, I installed other programs on E: in the appropriate folders (when the installation says C:\Program Files\xxxxxx, I change E: and everything works fine).

However, with SSDS drop in price, I would now like to migrate ALL my program files/folders to a disc SSD C: only selectively choose E: records for sides and put an end to things like zero files, personal photos, etc... However, if I am able to pay a 256 GB SSD, it could hold on C.

My question is how do I record everything I installed and move to a more SSD?

I REALLY don't want to redo from scratch (I realize is an option - but not a good thing for me - I'll keep split them upward)... The difficulty arose recently when some applications install did not offer an option to replace the default location of the C drive, so too ends up going there, that I don't want. (Only concerned about running out of space on C:; haven't really needed the lightning pace of the SSD - my C:/e combo: work well for almost 2 years).

Any help would be appreciated. I have enough in-depth skills PC as editing the registry if necessary, but the simplest best - short of re - install!

Use a backup software Image App. restore the C: drive is using the Image file on the SSD new and bigger and then make changes in program files, some of which will have to be resettled. Or you can create a second partition for the new SDS and assign it to the E: drive letter and restore the image of E: on the SSD. Thus the new SSD will be a C: and E: partition.

  • Installation installation of Win Vista Home premium error Windows errors can not reset the deployment engine. to install windows, restart the installation.

    Original title: Error Installing Win Vista Home premium.

    I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium.  Suddenly, it wouldn't start.  I changed the boot CD ROM and put my Vista disc in and tried to do a "repair" that it came with missing engine or something like this.  After several attempts, I gave up and formatted hard drive losing all my data and programs (rather difficult to backup files when the computer does not start).  So, I tried a complete installation.  I put in the license code and he started the installation.  After a few minutes, the message came;  "Windows Setup could not reset the deployment engine.  to install windows, restart the installation.  I tried several times including completely turn off the computer for several minutes and try again.  I tried several times.  I thought oh well, I will install my Windows 7 program (this and never used).  Error on this installation was: your CPU is only good for 32 bit and Win 7 I have is a 64-bit version.  I'D RATHER INSTALL VISTA BUT need help on the error regarding the deployment engine.  Thank you, Lloyd

  • Scan to folder installation network - Win VISTA Home Premium

    Printer is HP Officejet Pro 8600

    When I try to install the Scan to folder network on a desktop computer running Win VISTA Home Premium Web page displays the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".  There is no option to continue anyway.   Under Tools > Internet Options > security all parameters have a default value.

    On my old laptop under Win XP SP3 and newer laptop running Win 7 Home Premium, when I run the analysis of the installation of the network folder, I have to continue, and then configuration page will become available.   Under Tools > Internet Options > security settings are set to default.

    I'm curious to know why I can't have analysis of screen network on Win VISTA Home Premium system folder but I can do on both other systems?  All three computers are on the same home network.

    P.S. as for the Scan to E-mail Wizard, which gives the message that this option is not available on my printer, however on the touch of 8600 printer screen option is there and he tells you how do it.  Scanning to Email app also allows me to scan to e-mail.

    Initially this feature was not mentioned on all models of the 8600, just the models more and premium that you note. However, due to the overwhelming popularity of this HP feature published scanning to email app for the majority of printers who have access to web services.

    I hope that answers your question!

  • New installation of Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit - Windows Update does not work error 80072F8F

    I just bought and installed WIn 7 Home Prem on a new 1 TB drive.  When I try to run Windows Update I get error 80072F8F.  After reviewing several days, I have now tried and failed to get anywhere:

    • Checked the time date and resynch'ed against the internet several times
    • checked that I can access https://partners.microsoft.com
    • downloaded all certificates of a XP machine and a Vista
    • Use regsvr32 to the following dll: softpub Microsoft initpki mssip32
    • reinstallation of Windows 7 with nothing else

    I can't rename the folder "c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" as suggests a position as it is said always used and I can't understand what is using it.

    Please note that the internet works on both IE and Firefox and I have activated Windows 7.

    It's driving me crazy.  How Microsoft may not get its own OS for talking to himself!  Win 7 is fine for now, but it won't take long to get left behind, if I can't run updates.  Can I still use XP I put up as a dual boot.

  • Satellite A660 - update: Win 7 Home Premium to Ultimate

    I just bought A660 preloaded with Windows Home Premium 64-bit.
    I would switch to Ultimate 64 bits because I need additional features.
    I would like to know how to upgrade to Ultimate with a pack of detail without deleting all Toshiba drivers and characteristics.

    Any suggestion will be welcome!

    Hello

    You can buy a Microsoft Upgrade.
    But to be honest, that I recommend to buy a full version of Win 7 Ultimate and do a clean install.

    The advantage is that you could install this without early installation of Win 7 Home premium.
    For example; If you purchase an upgrade you will need to first install Home Premium and you need to improve this OS to ultimate. This can be annoying if anything goes wrong with OS and you need to install it again
    If you buy a ultimate full version, then you can install this OS immediately and directly without having to install Home Premium first.

    PS: the drivers are the same for Home Premium and Ultimate.

  • Photosmart B8550 stopped printing from Win 7 Home Premium

    I have a Photosmart B8550 for several years. It allows to print from my installation of Win 7 Home Premium, but not now. I tried several fixes, UN-installations driver and re-facilities, including what is described in a thread that has begun on this forum on 15/07/13. The cumulative result is that I can print beautiful pages of diagnostics software HP Solution Center, but nothing of any windows-based application, or a test page from the printer properties page in Control Panel. When I click the "Printing Test Page" button on the printer properties page, I see the page Flash briefly in the series B8500 printer queue window and disappear - but no page is printed. Is there a fix I've not seen? Is what it means the printer has fried? Is there a last attempt, I can do before (probably literally) grabs it by the window?

    Thank you.

    My Windows 7 is 64-bit, I was installing the latest full driver from the Web site package and I have a USB connection. Using Windows update has failed. In the meantime, I found that printing from a USB key works fine.

  • IE8 crashes after KB980182 installed on Win 7 Home Premium

    After problems with IE8 crashing and crashing Outlook Office 2007 Pro Client and Windows Explorer crash and restart perpetually, I reinstalled Win 7 Home Premium OS (custom, no upgrade, make clean) and manually installed all updates. one by one, checking for any loss of functionality after each update.

    All did, except, as expected, KB980182, cumulative security update for IE8.  Now, IE8 crashes at the opening.  None of the stuff with clean boot (msconfig) or uninstall and reinstall IE8 work.  Does anyone know of one solution other than to simply remove KB980182?

    I had the same problem initially and my event viewer did indicate errors of pagination against my hard drive, which was a Kipper.

    First check Windows Update for optional updates.  In my case, there were 2 driver update available (one for the ethernet controller) and one for the card graph.  After installing these and install all the other critical updates, I seem to be working good now.

I have Win 7 Home Premium recovery disks, when I came to the computer. The professional Win 7 I like an installation disk (.) ISO file).

    What is the best way to do it? I can just do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro? If so, how to install the drivers for the laptop? I searched the knowledge base information, but could not find anything on a Win 7 reinstall / update. Thank you.

    Hello

    What follows is certainly not what you wanted to hear, but it is frank and honest.

    There is no support for Windows 7 on your laptop. If you were able to get to the top and running, so you were lucky.

    The only provided HP drivers and applications that are available for your laptop are for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    You can try to install the Coolsense driver in compatibility mode, but there is absolutely no guarantee that it will work.

    Just as it says on the download page of Coolsense, "this feature is available on mobile phones supported running a supported operating system." Unfortunately, your laptop is not grave in either categeory.

    Best regards

    If you installed the Windows operating system without using the HP recovery media, then you will need to download and install all the drivers missing/software separately.

  • Vista Business - > Win 7 Home Premium upgrade does not work with my Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disc

    I bought a Windows 7 upgrade for $99 at Dell when I bought a new computer Win 7 and am finally getting around to upgrading my Vista Business.  The reason for road upgrading rather than clean install was to avoid reinstalling all applications, a major, major time sink, even if I find all the drives in application.  Is the upgrade to Win 7 Home Premium.

    After starting the upgrade, he stopped, telling me that I can only switch to Win 7 Pro, Ultimate or enterprise. For the upgrade to proceed, told me that he needed a clean installation and that I would then have to re - install all the applications.  I looked on the Microsoft site, trying to find how to set my Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc, but I have been unable to find how this could be done after through many convolutions of web pages.

    Could someone tell me please how to put my Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disk to a Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc?

    Thank you very kindly for any response.

    I guess it depends on what side of the coin of your on. If someone bought the Windows 7 Pro upgrade, whereas they would have only a single lane of evolution, which is the more common scenario.

  • Lenovo G555 OKR Win 7 Home Premium

    Ugh! I came here and saw there were 200 + pages of topics. I'm sorry if mine is already validated and has an answer, but I ask myself in a hospital bed need to use OKR and cannot understand it. I won't go through all the pages to see if my are answered so bear with me. I have no documentation with me (it's at home for obvious reasons). Recently, I have this computer and have not yet created backups "file of users. The only backup here is everything back to how it was if I had just bought it and was first put on brand new.

    IF I ABSOLUTELY have TO, I could lose my bookmarks in firefox (or I could just the zip file and send them an email to me - I use Live Mail so I'm not worried about the deletion and lose my emails). But I wouldn't lose my documents, videos and what-not. My other software, I installed from the factory-fresh install when I bought the computer is not much and I can actually just go to some sites and reinstall things, No biggy.

    What I prefer is to back up all my personal files, so I don't have to re-download anything and have it take 1 million years to reinstall everything. In 'My Computer', I saw the C: partition, the partition D: (Lenovo) who had the OKR related files and I guess that the secret files to reinstall the original image. I have Windows, the value do not hide what whatsoever from me. I also see a MS Office Starter 10 q score: who is protected, but didn't seem to do anything when you double-click it except give me an error message that I am not authorized to access. Then there's the DVD Burner F: and below, there is a "Norton Backup" type icon that looks like a hard drive, but when you double click on that, it shows just 3 icons more: 1) backups of the system by default C: partition, 2) the partition D: Lenovo backups and backups DVD Burner F:... By double clicking on anyone of them showed that the it is that anything backed up towards them.

    If I close and press the OKR which looks like a symbol of u-Turn of orange color, it brings me to the OKR options screen but since I have no backups created by the user, the only option that it will really allow me to choose is exit and let Windows load just as it does now and continue to use the computer , or reset the computer to the original image and lose everything...

    How the hell do a user-created backup image? I went to C:\Program Files\Lenovo\OneKey App\OneKey Recovery\Language\Enu\ and there was an overview of the OKR program, but nothing to really say how to create an image backup created by the user, the .htm files. Just that you are going to kick you if you create a return to the top of your data first and run the OKR to restore the original image. Not very useful. It would be nice if in fact, he crossed and detailed how the hell do!

    I want to thank you all for your attempts to help me. I went to uninstall the existing installation of OKR and re - download the installation file, so I can install a new copy from the links provided in this thread. Unfortunately, I was with a WiFi very slow at the hospital I was staying in and after about 20-30 of 273 MB downloaded, it seems the download has completed. I finally got so fed up with it, I used a downloader that supports recovery and even in this case is the same trouble. Finally on download seventeenth attempt, I got it completely downloaded. Once again, since I'm on a slow connection, it took about 2-3 days with all these upheavals, but I got it. Then when I installed it, it's the same thing. GRR! Then, so I decided to save all my important files on a DVD and I just shut down the computer and supported the OKR button and allowed him to recover the original factory installed image. Now, Win 7 Home Premium desktop screen when you press the OKR, it gives you the options to create images of backup or restore backups I have created or install again the original factory image. It's a pain in the neck, but I got it working properly, finally. Yet once, I want to thank you all for trying to help, and you can now consider this topic resolved.

  • Can I use the existing Windows vista ultimate 32-bit (real) key to do a fresh install (due to errors of unrecognized class) win vista home premium 32 bit (original cd)?

    Inspiron Dell 1720 2.2 GHz, 2 GB ram, Win Vista ultimate SP2.

    Cannot install all programs currently due to errors of windows install. I have tried scannow in cmd which seems to close automatically in less than a second to click on enter.
    I tried switching win installer services then in manual and automatic ('start' ed) with no ruling change ever to the problem. So now since I can't possibly find another solution, I'm doing a new installation of windows vista Home premium 32-bit which I did not have the keys. So the query. I would appreciate any comment how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

    Look at the product key shown on the label on the computer.  Which edition of Windows is on the label?  If the label says Home Premium Home Premium dvd is likely a recovery disk only.  So if there is a recovery disk, so it can reinstall a new copy of Home Premium and all reset the status of the plant.  You will lose your programs and data.

    If the Premium family edition dvd is a dvd retail then you may be able to do a repair on-site modernization (aka ' install fix') of Vista Ultimate with it, but please answer these questions first.
