Should I initialize a New (New to this computer, but it's a backup with the DATA disk) HARD drive?

I have an internal backup drive that I used for a computer that crashed.   Hard drive that had the operating system gone wrong. I'm sure that the backup drive (no operating system, only the Acronis backup data) is ok.  I took, put it in a box of hard drive and plugged on my other computer to get all the data out of it. It is recognized in but device manager not MY computer.   Information have read so far wants choose me to go to right click on my computer, Manage, and chose the disk management.  Then he wants me to initialize the disk. The information said once the disk initialized, I should be able to access all data on the disk.  I do? I don't want to erase all data on the disk. I prefer to take it to a PRO for $100 if there is even a small chance I could damage or erase the data on the disc. Please notify.

Do not initialize the disk.  That would erase all data.  It is possible that the hard disk enclosure does not work right, causing Vista to see the player correctly as not initialized.

Did you create Acronis Secure Zone on the drive for backups?  If so, you will need to use the same program from Acronis to access. It would be interesting to boot from the Acronis recovery disc and see if it can read backups. Boulder computer Maven

  • New Office WIN 7 with SSD & data disks - how to configure programs off the C drive & users

    All new computer win 7 pro 64-bit & State of the art everything.  SSD 128 GB & 2 - 2T in RAID 1 data drives.

    SSD 128 C:\ & WIN 7 becomes all the settings are there.  "I want to move - or add - all future users & programs on the"data disk"F" as the default for the operating system.

    This is the version abridged - ask & I'll tell you anything.

    I should post this in another forum?

    May I ask then, what was the point of investing in an SSD? The point of having an SSD is that Windows 7 starts and works faster to your programs will load faster. You must store 'data', you create from your programs on the 'data disk '.

    You can redirect your personal folders for the data stored there:

  • Why my data Ext Hard Drive WORD & EXCEL from my old computer does not recognize my new computer with Windows 7.

    Recently, I replaced an old computer running Windows XP with a newer computer of Windows7.

    I have TWO Toshiba external hard drives 2... one of them (Mdl HDDR250E03X) is used for external backup of data on my computer.  I started using it for my old computer that was running on Windows XP.  Due to a Trojan infection, I had to buy a new computer running Windows 7.  I thought that the hard drive is simply a plug-and-play device, BUT my new computer has not recognized that there is a device plugged until someone suggested that I make a change in the Device Management section (which only works at Midway).  My new computer now sees that the drive is there, BUT the data displayed under a name of file/folder (dec22a69bbd43e6966c9935e4720f7).  Data include WORD files, EXCEL files and .jpg files.  When I click on this long file/folder name, I get a long list of records as well as other unknown files that I don't recognize.  Inside each of the files is the SAME set of files (EULA, LocalizedData and SetupResources.dll.  When I try to save a WORD or EXCEL file on this disk, I tells me that the drive is empty, then the path and destination does not allow me to record anything.  I suspect that the problem lies in the Windows 7 software to recognize the hard drive but, I'm totally new to this Windows 7.  Everyone recognizes what is the problem?   I KNOW that the data is always there because I ran my virus on this single drive software and I could see many file names as they were read.

    I bought a whole new office 27 "Mac provided with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the 1 TB hard drive, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new I had extended warranty with them. They are recycled the disc immediately (like crazy, I don't ask for this return to get the data off it.) But fortunately, I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it was working fine except that I downloaded it on the desk and not the original location so he had succeed. I also have an external 1.5 TB drive that I wanted to make it bootable, so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3. Then I advanced and installed on disk newly installed too.

    I think that because I have a new reader that adobe thinks, I have a new computer. I bought the 27 "Mac new on Ebay and it came loaded with the software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6, but Adobe says that it was not valid. (I've owned CS2 and CS4 now CS6 that came preloaded on the Mac by the seller who told me that the software has been registered for the Mac?

    I'll re - download the backup to the original location but this time (I still don't think that it will work with Adobe.) What can I do about it?

  • My old computer crashed, but I have a backup of the catalog. Should I restore my catalog first, or should I import my photos first?

    Hi, my old computer fell down, but I have a backup of the catalog and my photos are in an internal HD that I already install it on my new PC. My question is should I first restore my catalog or should I import my photos first?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hector.

    Hi Hector.

    You need to restore your old Lightroom Catalog backup, and which should be containing all your images and changes you have made so far, however, it can display as missing images that can be moved.

    Follow the steps in this article to move the missing images when the catalog is restored: How to find missing photos in Photoshop Lightroom

    Hello

    I have a desktop PC with windows XP (Professional) on this subject, but I can't access to the pc through the remote desktop tool. I already checked several options, but nothing seems to work. I don't even get an error message, the window just those which blinks and nothing happens...

    Could you please help?

    This is wat I already checked:

    -"allow users to connect remotely...". ' is running

    -TCP/IP listening on port 3389

    -Terminal services are started

    -J' tried connecting to Windows 7 and Windows XP, nothing works

    -Ping the ip address of the client PC works fine

    If you have any other ideas, I would be very gratefull!

    Thanks to advandce

    You will probably need to open port 3389 on your router so that it maps on the computer that is tuned to the connections of the DRC. It seems that you did all the other steps, but your router can prevent the connection to go anywhere. Here's a detailed guide to configure your router for DRC that can provide some guidance.
