Stuck with Windows 7 64 bit from the old disk HARD of SSHD migration
There are a lot of smart people on this forum - maybe you can advise me. I recently bought the Seagate 4 to Desktop SSHD ST4000DX001. I'm stuck with migration my Windows 7 64 bit and all the data from the old HDD to the SSHD. Then I used the Windows Disk Manager to format the SSHD in GPT format (recommended by Windows). Then I used XXClone (freeware from the internet) to clone my old HDD. There was a message of XXClone who said that as the SSHD is GPT formatted, it didn't ensure that the clone is bootable. I tried to start the sshd with the clone of my operating system and data. It did not work. Now I use the new SSHD as a secondary drive and I use the old HDD as primary bootable drive. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-A55M-DS2. It's EFI but not UEFI. I heard that EFI support starting from the 3 TB GPT partition while UEFI support starting from much larger disks. Is this information correct? Does this mean I have to change the motherboard in GA-H61M-D2H-USB3 to use my 4TB SSHD to start from a GPT formatting? Help, please. Thank you so much.
Problem solved. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit for my new 4 TB (format decimal numbering system) SSHD (3.63 TB in binary system). He starts without a problem. The cloning approach has not worked because my old HDD MBR format and it the SSHD uses the GPT format. This means that I have to re-install my games and copy my data from the old disk to the new. Thanks to everyone who responded to my messages.

transfer files from the old drive hard windows 7 to new computer windows 8
My old laptop windows 7 crashed for an unknown reason, so I bought a new laptop with windows 8. I removed the hard drive from the windows 7 machine and using an external enclosure card connected to the new laptop.
I can see and open any public folders in the folder of the user data, but can not access a user folder. Also when I right click on the folder of the user, it seems that they are empty.
I have tried making the appropriation and unchecking hidden files but still no luck.
Pretty frustrated right now.
I think I solved the problem.
I had to do a right-click on the folder user and copy and paste in a new folder. While he was doing that he clean up some data. Don't know exactly what was going since I wasn't there when it happened.
Once he went through this process, I could see my user files to the new folder and the old hard drive.
Sorry I can't explain it better.

Hello
I have the Asus N70SV B1.Specifications: (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Multimedia_Entertainment/N70Sv/#specifications)
No problems with Windows Vista 64 bit, recognizing the 4 GB of RAM. After the upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit 4 GB installed / usable RAM problem / 3 gb. I also checked the following.
1. I am running windows 7 64 bit, NOT 32 bit, I wouldn't be able to run Adobe After Effects® CS5.5 and Adobe first® Pro CS5.5 elsewise.
2. the unusable 1 GB of RAM is not used by the operating system, it's hardware reserved
3. the video card Nvidia GT 130 m 1 GB, shouldn't need that RAM - it certainly didn't on the factory installed Windows he dedicated RAM.
4. I tried disabling and enabling msconfig - boot - Max memory settings, no option solves the problem.
5. He has no option of memory in the BIOS settings to disable the cache in memory / memory the occultation.* I had to use the 64-bit of Windows Vista sound drivers work correctly with Windows 7 64 bit. So I thought that the version of bios or Vista 64 bit can thus solve the problem usable 4 / 3 gb.
* Yes, I have flashed the bios to Windows Vista 64-bit and that still does not solve the problem. Although the system seems faster, it still shows only 3 GB usable.
There should not be a problem with this bios version seen only with the 64 bit Vista OS recognized all 4 GB. I am confused and have no idea where to go from here.
Please help.

I have baught a new portable computer and you want to install windows vista (32-bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do it with windows 7 (64-bit)
the laptop contained Home Basic windows 7 (64-bit) and I want to install windows vista Home premium (32 bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do or tell me the parallel method to move a certain 32-bit operating system...I do not understand your question. If the laptop can run Windows Vista, it can probably run Windows 7 too.
To run Windows 7 64-bit, the processor must be a minimum Core 2 Duo.
System requirements:
* 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor
* 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
* 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
* Peripheral figure DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

I just bought a HP DM1-3100SA and noticed that it came bundled with Windows 7 32 - Bit Home Pro instead of 64-bit according to the American version (DM1Z?). As far as I can see, the hardware is identical - AMD Fusion E-350, 3 GB, 320 GB drive at 7200 RPM so I see no reason for HP to opt for the operating system 32-bit to the United Kingdom as the E-350 is a 64-bit APU.
Is it possible to re - install W7 64-bit of the recovery partition or am I stuck with W7 32-bit?
I guess that there is the option to purchase the retail copy of W7 64 Home Pro, but seems an unnecessary extra cost.
Thanks in advance.
Hello
If it is still topical for you:
the ISO in Windows7 files can be downloaded from Digital River (the Microsoft online provider - see links below).
These images are free of viruses and completelyLEGA
Of course you must have/buy a valid license, but the laptop key dm1, we can re - use the key provided for Windows7 32 bit.
Watch you if you clean install Windows7 you won't not the HP tools... the question is if you really need them. But it is STRONGLY recommended to re - install HP Coolsense since it regulates the temperature/fan.

Name of the product - HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 6 Driver
Operating system: Windows 8 Home Edition, 64-bit
Error message: cannot find the series 1200 on the network. To locate manually click ok...
Changes Made - this is an installation on the new laptop, in Windows 8, 64-bit
Description:
1 installation of an existing network, consistedof a desk and two wireless laptops.
2. the two portable computers have Windows 7, 64 bit. Above the named printer is accessed successfully for laptops.
3 replaces one of cell phones with 8 64-bit Windows.
4. the path of the 1200 series is: wireless printer to the router, router to the desktop via ethernet, from desktop to a printer via a cable.
5. the configuration of the wireless printer is
Name: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5
Port: \\Central\HPLaserj
Printer: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5
Driver: HPMCPM25. GPD 5.8.2008
Problem
Impossible to re-create this path with Windows 8, 64-bit configuration.
a. when I try to download a driver always end up with a file called UPD-pcl6 - x 64 - 5.6.0.14430
This seems to be a universal PCL 6 printer driver, can successfully decompress the file and create a folder
b. during installation, I can see the desktop ICON printer (name: \\central\HPLaserj); So far so good
c. process is unable to locate a driver and ordered to locate manually.
d. accessing the HP Universal Driver files fails because a driver is not found.
e. caraa attempt enter fails because you can't enter address above (\\central\HPlaserj). Cannot enter HPLaserj for the address, which obviously does not work.
f. when the installation showed a list of drivers, the only one that I found was a universal PCL 6, which is what I thought, I tried to download the original.
This set up has worked successfully to Windows 7 64 bit. It seems that I need help much more expertise to guide me through this whole upward.
Problem solved.

If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64 bit version of Windows Vista, or vice versa, you will need to back up your files, then select custom during installation of Windows Vista. Next, you need to restore your files and reinstall your programs

How can I reinstall the Windows Media Center Gadget on my PC with Windows 7, 64-bit?
How can I reinstall the Windows Media Center Gadget on my PC with Windows 7, 64-bit? I had left it one day and now I don't know where he is. I went into the control panel and tried to 'Restore the Gadget', but he said it was not something to restore. I don't know how to get the file from one account to another, if that's what I'm supposed to do. I just want to know how to get the original back that came when I downloaded Media Center for the first time (that I tried to do it again. "But it did not help at all).
Thank you.
It's actually pretty easy if you are in the control panel for programs

Hello forum HP, I can use the Laserjet P1102w with USB connection on 3 different devices including a portable Apple and PC Windows Vista and Windows 7 laptop computer, but can not perform a wireless installation with the broadband internet connected wireless PC running Windows Vista 32 bit. The main message is that the computer does not find the printer even when using the USB connection. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi @Kaiser3107,
Welcome to the HP Support forum.
I understand that you have a HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer that connects three thin devices via the USB port, but you can not perform a wireless installation on a fourth device, equipped of Windows Vista 32-bit, because the PC does not detect the printer via the USB port. I would like to help with that.
Here is a support document which includes 'USB device is not detected by Windows' which can help the issue of detection - Troubleshooting (Windows Vista) USB connections.
Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.
In fact, if it helps you to find a solution, please click on the 'accept as Solution' and the 'thumbs up' buttons down below in this message.

Hello Sir,
recently I bought the laptop (320GB hard drive) with windows 7-64 bit OS.iam unable to shrink less than 155 GB c drive please help me. I want to reduce this to 90 GBIts also the case that win7 takes only supported 4 basic partitions and you can't mention what Disk Management displays for drive 0.
And also if a pre-installed version of victory, if you manage to create partitions and at a later date, you will need to use your recovery disks, that may well destroy all created partitions.
For what reason you want to partition?
