Strategy to put the new 320 gig HD (Vista Ultimate) i in my Inspiron E1505?

I chose XP - pro, when I bought my E1505 two years ago, but I knew I'd finally Vista so I made sure that the notebook had the necessary material.

Well, that time is here now, and I decided that I put Vista on a new HD but keep my old 100 gig HD just as there are (under XP - pro)... just in case.

So I acquired a new concert 320 HD caddy, a new copy under license of Vista Ultimate (with SP 1 including disc) and the Dell "Reinstall MediaDirect" DVD. Now I will download all the drviers of Dell Vista and put them on an external HD (and CD) so I'll have to their loan.

I think it's all that I need (pls advise otherwise true) and, according to the Vista Upgrade Advisor, my Inspiron should be Ultimate without any problems.

Here's my current strategy. I would like your comments.

  1. Put the new HD into the caddy and install
  2. Run the DVD in Dell MediaDirect
  3. Install Vista Ultimate
  4. Installation of SP1
  5. Install the drivers
  6. Reinstall the software (MS Office, Adobe, etc.)

Seems nice and simple, so I'm probably missing something... Am I?

    I put the new version of MS Paint on my current version of WINDOWS XP. Can you /.

    Hello, Gary SPierce,.

    No, you can't.  The latest version of paint is only for the latest version of Windows. Because the painting is integrated into the package of Windows you cannot uninstall and then install a more modern version.

  • Die only lead to T3500 - can I put the new (soon to be OS drive) in the second slot?

    T3500 with single drive

    Windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Original Dell drive (Seagate) is dying, according to Seatools. Cannot get Seatools for DOS to boot so can not do follow-up proposed by Seatools.

    The disk OS must ALWAYS be in the first place?

    Or can I leave the player dying in the first slot and put the new in slot 2?

    I saved the player dying on a disc USB external, and done the checkdisk for several hours.

    New drive (WD) Acronis, so hopefully I can just clone the old drive to the new. But I could always use wise counsel on this part as well.

    You need not connect by USB disk. Connection to a free SATA port will be much faster. You need a cloning utility that you can put on a CD or a bootable flash drive, then just select the origin and destination drive.

  • Put the new upgrade of Windows 10 on my 500 gig SSD and make the main drive (C :)

    Original title: Windows 10

    You want to install (upgrade) new Windows 7 Pro 64) Windows 10.  No problem.

    Here's my question and need help.  I want to put the upgrade of Windows new 10 on my 500 gig SSD and make the main drive (C :)  Just got new PC and the SSD is not yet installed in the new machine.

    Is there a way to do this?  I can install the SSD drive in the pc without problems.  But the pc is set up with the C: drive in the primary.  As I understand it, the update will work, but it will not be for the SSD.

    Suggestions?  Is this possible?

    Windows 7 installation will have to be eliminated if its currently on a separate disk. Which means you have to start over.

    I would first disconnect the hard drive with your Windows 7 installation.

    Install the SSD drive, then install Windows Pro 10 on this subject.

    Download and create a bootable copy of Windows 10 Pro:

    Demarrer start from the installation media, and then select the SSD during installation:

    Reconnect the hard drive, then format the installation hard disk.

  • Put the new email in the current folder

    By:

    Change | Accounts settings | (account). Copies & folders | "When sending messages, automatically:

    There is an option for the "responses of Place in the folder of the message being replied to.

    I would like a way to do exactly that, except with the answers, but with the new email I'm compose/send. It seems quite natural.

    For example, I have several clients and a folder for each client. When I answer to my customers, the answers come in appropriate customer records. Perfect. But when I write a new message to a client, is it not logical to also put this message in the folder of the respective customer? Instead, will all my mail sent to my "sent" folder, and I have to remember to fish out them and drag them into the respective customer records. It is a nuisance.

    I hope that it is already a feature. If this is not the case, this consider a request feature.

  • How can I put the new tab + sign back next to the tabs where it is easier to use?

  • Help! X 60 does not start with the new 320 GB HDD...

    I try to get a 320 GB Seagate Momentus 7200.3 SATA drive working with my thinkpad X 60 1706-M7M.

    I cloned my existing OEM Hitachi 80 GB to the new drive using Acronis True Image. So far, I've done this four times, so I think that cloning is not the issue.

    BIOS changed in compatibility mode.

    The strange thing is that the rescue partition and recovery works but not the windows bootable partition?

    I see also all files on the new drive, both partitions are visible when it is plugged in via the USB enclosure. They look very well.

    I tried to make it work for 3 days and I'm ready to throw the laptop out the window!

    Thanks in advance.

    If you are ready, I would recommend using Easeus Disk Copy. It is a bootable CD that will clone the disk sector.

    But I noticed that when I clicked on the createinsert button, the new row is added at the top of the table.

    How can I set this up so that it will show at the bottom?

    Thank you.

  • Put the new image into an existing project

    I need to replace an image I used a transition. This image will be hoisted from the side of my start page for my home page.
    Originally I've done everything the way I wanted then duplicated the State then I moved the items that will be shipped on the page or sunk into the page etc...
    but now the new imported image is only on a State. If I copy the image of the main report and paste the image to the start State and try to transition the image gets only a fade out selection in the timeline panel. Even if I move the image it will go away though. I want to steal the picture from the side.
    I think what is happening is that the image is more "linked" between States so he doesn't know where the graph begins and where it ends.
    It considers that its 2 different graphics. Is their a way to copy and paste a State in order to keep the association and create a transition?
    Otherwise, I have to redo work hours to replace an image?
    Help, please...

    Hi Curtis,.

    The transitions are between the same element (or "instance" to be fancy) when it has different properties (such as position, size, opacity, rotation, etc.) in different States. When you import an image, you create a new item in the Art Board. If you copy - paste, you create another element.

    If you want the same item to appear in several States, right click and choose "Share of the State" and the State you want it to appear in.

    There is also a "do this even in all States ' which makes an element have the same look in all the States present in.

    For your specific case, however, you are already working on an image, so you need to just change the image to have a new source of transitions. Click on the image that was previously working, click on the 'source' in the Inspector properties (at the bottom right), and you should have the ability to change from your image.

    Hi jamesgillwn,

    1. when exactly you get this error message?
    2. what disc do you use to reinstall?
    3. What is the exact error that appears when you try to start?
    4. at what point of the installation you get the error message?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    Try the steps from the following link:

    Error message when you try to install Windows Vista by using the DVD drive on the computer: "Windows cannot install required files".

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/930984

    Note: When you perform the installation, you will lose the data, make sure that you need to backup your data before you perform the installation.

  • Adding a new MBR on the drive where is installed Vista Ultimate

    My computer has the following configuration.   (.. .and works very well!)

    = Player disc-1 =.
    * (Vista Boot Manager)
    * XP (C :))

    = Player disc-2 =.
    * Vista Ultimate (e :)) (when I installed Vista, he installed BOOTMGR to drive hard-1))

    My question/problem is I want to move or simply - to add an instance of BOOTMGR Vista Drive-2 which is completely independent of Drive-1.    It is very likely that I have will soon be abolition of the use of Drive we.   My hope is that all I have to do is hide/idlers in car-1 and boot from the Vista DVD and use the utilities here to create a new boot sector and MBR for Drive-2.   All problems similar to what I've read door on one disk, where a new installation has wiped out the boot process.   Y at - it someone who has a good understanding of my particular setup of two motor which can give some advice.

    Thank you, Steve

    I'm now able to start only one installation of Vista from reader1 or lecteur2.

    = Player disc-1 =.
    * (Vista Boot Manager, Vista boots on lecteur2)
    * XP (C :))

    = Player disc-2 =.
    * (Vista Boot Manager, Vista boots here on lecteur2)
    * Vista Ultimate (e :)) (when I installed Vista, he installed BOOTMGR to drive hard-1))

    Wow... I would love to give an ordered list and understandable how I realized that.  But most of the time I went in circles and re - set which was made before.   I'll at least try list commands, the list of the problems encountered and give some useful suggestions.

    = The list of what to do: =.
    * Vista on lecteur2 to give a new system partition
    * Give the new partition system on lecteur2 a MBR and bootmgr code installed
    * Create a new BCD database in the root/boot/directory (file is called BCD)
    * You need a Vista DVD to boot from and to the recovery environment

    = List orders that I used in the order of approximately: =.
    Bootrec /scanos (needs to show at least "1" windows installation found)

    = - Suite 5 lines are two ways to save the BCD file - =.
    bcdedit/export C:\boot\BCD_Backup1
    c:
    Boot CD
    BCD attrib s h - r
    c:\boot\bcd Ren BCD_Backup2 (this cmd and not really necessary but just prev after kb/927392)

    DiskPart (using select the disk and partition to activate as needed)

    Bootrec /fixmbr
    Bootrec /fixboot
    Bootsect.exe/nt60 E:/force

    Bootrec /rebuildbcd (sorry, don't know if did before or after bootrec /fixmbr)

    = Problems / suggestions =.
    The trickiest part is to make sure both drives and question all partitions are defined according to the needs for the next task (hidden or not) and (active or not).
    * You must understand - well - how to set your BIOS to boot (for Vista DVD or the New Partition)
    * You need to understand all the commands used; Google each for a reference document
    Good examples are:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927391
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392
    * I got the freebie here EasyBCD bootsect command: http://neosmart.net large part of the info, I found this command, but he was apparently only available with Vista for a short period (and was not on any of my Vista computers)
    * I was initially eager to ALSO change the Vista on C: drive, but I now realize that is not possible when starting from two readers.   Furthermore, I'm not completely sure, that it is even possible to change.  (you cannot change a designation of the system drive for Vista disk management).  I found some info about changes to the registry, but I lost track of it.  In any case I'll deal with that at a later date.  If you find info on how to do it please let me know.
