Select the files in the Ext drive to reload post reinstall

I am back. hankbuck here with the question after complete reinstall on HP desktop D4650E windows XP Pro sp3. Very grateful for the help recently and you want to make sure that now I want to reload the files from an external drive WD My Book I do without all the garbage that caused the system to be erased with the installation. All I want are the files I want without damaged etc. Is there a way to do this? I have 1 partition on my PC after reinstall if it helps. Thank you

Hello hankbuck,

It depends on what software you are using on the Western Digital. It seems quite a few different applications that Western Digital has and uses so to know what exact version can be beneficial.

No matter what version you use that should have the option to do a selective restore or progress however.

It is for example WD Backup app that works on some of my books

  • Windows backup on the ext drive ignores all files

    I have a HP Pavilion running windows desktop d4650e 7. I tried to save on the new Extension of 1 t of Seagate. I wanted to see what was on my ext drive and finally decided to use windows back up backup files. After backup, I get a message telling me 2 files do not get supported. One is video and other music. Even if I ignore that by double clicking on the desktop icon, I get a dialog box asking if I want to restore it, if I want to save or if I manage the files. All I want to do is to look at. When I select Manage I am only able to see a few files, and it is different at each iteration. However, when I copy and paste that works. I would copy and paste, but that does not give me a mirror image of what I should get.

    Hi Hankbuck,

    After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup.

    You can try to save the file on local disk and check departure if it helps. Keep us informed.

  • Reformat the hard drive and a clean reinstall of Vista

    Hello
    I was wondering if you could advise me if this is possible.
    I have Vista on a partition, a home machine built dual boot (with XP), who begins to fill. I decided to stop using XP, which

    is sitting on the second partition of the hard drive, and I want to reformat the disk and a partition with Vista on it. Taking into

    mind, I'm not bothered about losing all the data and save nothing, in my opinion, I don't want to lose, can I just reformat the hard disk into a single

    Partition and reinstall Vista? I'm sure that the answer is Yes, but my main concern is to ensure my "serial key" is accepted and that the activation

    process will go smoothly. Read other messages I prefer not to use Vista to reduce the size of the XP partition and prefer to make one

    clean install.
    Your help and feedback will be greatly appreciated.

  • Replaced the HARD drive, but can not reinstall the operating system

    Evening,

    I replaced the HARD drive on my laptop and used the sony recovery media kit, but the error message "can not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers.

    The HARD drive is a Toshiba of the same style and size. Sony sent me two sets of disks, I replaced the HARD drive twice still have exactly the same problem.

    Any ideas before using it as a target would be useful.

    Thank you

    It is possible that the new hard drive, you bought are 4 k sectors and not 512 KB, which is necessary to make it work properly.  If you have a practical clean Windows installation disc that give a try and see if you encounter the same error...

  • Failed to load the chipset driver. NLite or Floppy work.

    Hi people,

    I use a HP XW8400 (CPU Intel Xeon 5150 chipst 5000 X).

    I tried all means to get Windows XP PRO to detect my SATA HDD internal storage - and none of them have worked.

    Loading the drivers using the F6 floppy method key kept leading the message iaStor.sys is corrupted.

    As an alternative I used Nlite to integrate the drivers in a new Windows XP installation disc.

    I downloaded the drivers of chipset of the RST on the Intel site for my specific chipset (5000 X) in a new Windows XP installation disc, and although the operating system installs correctly it does not always detect the SATA internal HDD.

    Although my OS is 32-bit, I tried slipstreaming separate 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP installation (in desperation) disc just in case where the 64-bit version worked and have had no success with either.

    I don't know what I can do?

    Please - does anyone have an answer?

    If you create a player files_and disk floppy external USB is used, ensure that it is plugged into the system
    before you begin step 1. The diskette is not inserted at the latest.

    1. Insert the CD of the operating system and Power On to start
    from the CD.

    2. from the beginning of the installation of operating system, the
    following message appears at the bottom of the screen:

    "Press F6 if you need to install a SCSI or RAID driver...". »

    When the prompt appears, press F6.

    3. later in the operating system installation, you are notified that
    a mass storage device could not be detected. When this notification
    happens, press S (S = specify additional device).

    4. When you are prompted, insert the floppy disk that was created from the SoftPaq
    file and then press ENTER.

    5. Select the appropriate driver and press ENTER.

    NOTE: At this point, the following message MAY appear, according to
    on the version of your operating system CD. If the prompt,
    Press S = use the driver on floppy disk and continue, if it is
    appears not to, go to step 6. The prompt reads as follows:

    Windows already has a driver that you can use to
    "Intel (r) XXXX".

    6. continue with the installation of an operating system, you are prompted.

  • Install Windows 7 on SSD and programs on the HARD drive?

    Original title: conner bottomley.

    Hello

    I was wondering if you could help me! I recently built my own PC, it has 2 drives (1 SSD and 1 HDD) and I want to have windows 7 (64 bit) installed on the smaller SSD and all other files and programs on the larger HARD drive could you give me some instructions on how to do it? I've been strugling for awhile now!

    I am completely new to this so if you can keep it nice and simple, would be great!

    Thanks for your help :)

    Conner

    Have your program files on the HARD drive defeated the purpose of having an SSD in the first place. The goal is to start the operating system and load your programs faster.

    Then, install the operating system and programs on the SSD and store your personal files (Documents, music, photos, videos etc.) on the HARD disk.

    Demarrer start from the Windows 7 DVD, and then select the SSD drive during installation

    For information about how to modify your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, see the following tutorial:

    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Custom install Windows only (Advanced)

    Select the SSD drive, and then click Next.

    Once Windows 7 is installed, you can redirect personal folders on the HARD drive to store your files.

  • Do not install the NIC driver

    Hello

    I just install ESX 4.1 and during the installation I selected the custom driver with the CD option. Now I can't see the NIC for this command

    esxcfg-NICS - l

    Then what I have is the following: for the same driver (qlogic) I also had vib file and I tried to install the driver by giving the command.

    vmware-esx-drivers-net-cnic-400.1.10.2k.v41.2-1vmw.0.0.00000.x86_64.vib--nosigcheck--maintenancemode b esxupdate update

    And I got the following error message:

    The following problems have been encountered in trying to solve the dependencies:
    Asked VIB-esx-pilots-net cross_vmware.
    cnic_400.1.10.2k. V41.2 - 1vmw.0.0.00000 is made obsolete by the host

    I tried the opposite IE without giving the custom drivers CD and directly any attempt installation of vib. But no avail. Well all the post associated with this "requested vib lies in the host" seems to be associated with the 4.0 to 4.1 update and caused by cisco switch which I did not. Now what am I supposed to do amigos?

    Would it be because of the defective network cable? What to make a connection back to back to your laptop with a verified network cable is OK.
