to another disk of El Capitan

Hello

I installed El Capitan on a USB key. Due to limited space (128 GB) and temporary use, I do not reinstall my applications in the new application of 'drive '.

Since El Capitan seems to work very well, I will install it on my system drive (where is located and operates Lion 10.7.5 and my applications).

Should I rerun the installation program, which is still on my record of request for Lion - with my HD like target or y at - it a way more faster and easier (utility or other)?

I also welcome comments from users about compatibility, performance speed (compared to Lion), etc.

Thanks for any help.

Details:

MacBook Pro 5.4 (mid 2009) 3.06 GHz,

500 GB of disk of what OS X partition is 160 GB (of which 70 GB free),

8 GB memory

The installer is just as quick a way to do it as any. In my opinion, El Capitan is a big improvement on Lion.

Check to make sure that your applications are compatible.

Application compatibility

(2) application compatibility

Information on the compatibility of 10.11 El Capitan

Make a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different disks.

  • I want to move the profile data and the addons on another disk

    I want to move the profile data and the addons on another disk.

    Can I specify where Firefox puts the profile and the addons?

    If another location, then Windows uses by default.
    c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

    WinXP, FF 3.6.8

    You can do this by using the Profile Manager. When you create a new profile, you can specify a location for the profile folder.

    You may create a new profile, and then transfer the data to it. For more information, see create a new profile for Firefox on Windows and transferring data to a new profile.

  • Setup removes the junction point NTFS redirect the folder system "\Windows\Installer" on another disk.

    On a computer running Windows XP Professional SP3, I redirected the "\Windows\Installer" system folder, with a junction to a record point in a tree of directories to a different drive.  The operation was conducted and verified using "junction v1.06 - creator of junction point analysis viewer and Windows' published in 2010 by Mark Russinovich. I moved all the files and subdirectories contained in the original "\Windows\Installer' in the target directory (the these files had been previously copied to a temporary directory and after the move, I checked that they were visible in the folder '\Windows\Installer' open the symbolic link with the Explorer).
    Then I launched a system patch, and I discovered that the installation of the update of the software deleted program point junction that I created, deleted all the cache contained in the directory with the name of substitute target different files and recreated the "\Windows\Installer" folder in the original disc.
    I tested this behaviour a couple of times, installing various software and updates, so I assume that it does not depend on the software that is installed but the installation program itself, which cannot handle a point of junction of the folder "install".
    No warning is given before deleting the junction point and all of its contents.  With a similar procedure, I made two points of junction for '\Windows\Downloaded facilities' and '\Windows\Microsoft.NET' and they have exploited properly.
    Out of understanding points do not work on startup, so it is impossible to redirect for example. :

    • \Windows
    • \Windows\System32
    • \Windows\Config

    "\Windows\Installer" isn't one of those cases, and it is not used at startup.

    Is it possible to use a junction point to redirect the \Windows\Installer on another disk/partition folder, or Setup will always delete all the files that have been targeted in the naming of replacement?

  • Error setting in the form of CD - RW problem: Windows cannot format this type of disc. Insert another disk and try again.

    Original title: problem formatting CD - RW

    I want to copy some files (word documents) on a CD - RW. I just bought a new box of these discs: Memorex high speed 12 X 800 MB 80 min

    When I put a disc in my d drive, I get the following error message:Windows cannot format this type of disc.  Insert another disk and try again.

    However, I went in the d drive and clicked on delete, just to see if it would work.  It recognizes the disc as a CD - RW, and erased, and said I could now burn files to it.  I tried to copy the files to and and again got the error message.

    If anyone can help me with this problem, I would be very happy!

    Thank you!

    Hi mariec59,

    1 does happen with all disks?
    2. what program you use to burn the disc?

    We recommend you to check if the problem persists with another disc.
    We also recommend to run the troubleshooter for CD/DVD playback and burning. To do this, try the following steps:
    a. see play CD/DVD and burning issues.
    b. click Microsoft hotfix and run the tool successfully.
    c. restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

  • How to undo the Partition of the disk on El Capitan

    Hello

    I have a disc of SSHD TB 1, I had been running on my Macbook 2009 6.1 for on a few months or more.  Because I wanted a partition to use Time Machine, I had partitioned the drive by on 50-50.  Things have been working quite well until I recently made the mistake of trying to resize the partition and accidentally created a new partition (which I didn't).  Is it possible to cancel the new partition (as do not have here in the first place) and that the primary drive where I start with about 700 GB and "partition" I want to keep to 300 GB (so I can use Time Machine to back up the main drive)?

    I tried to find "logical volume" or the "+ -" options on my disk utility interface, but they are just not there for me to use.  This computer is running on El Capitan.

    Thanks a lot for helping me.

  • Can Tecra S10 - I order a recovery to another disk?

    Someone knows how to change the language of Windows 7 on a Tecra S10?
    Can I just order a recovery disc Englsih from here:
    [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

    If so, what is the price of these discs?

    The PC has a license for the preinstalled Windows 7 Pro 32 bit German, and I need it in English.

    Hello

    I doubt that this will be possible.

    You can order the recovery disk only with the same Windows operating system which was preinstalled on your laptop.

    If you need a different language of Windows or another version of windows, then you will need to purchase an original MS Windows disc.

    This means that you will get the new clean operating system, drivers may be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.

    Broke the new Satellite A300-234, flied Windows Vista. I did not the backup copy of the system. At the system from a disk of another laptop Toshiba A200-23d.

    The key away. What should do?

    Hello

    The point is that the product key from the underside of the laptop can t be used with another drive in Windows. It s just for the preinstalled OEM version and doesn t work with other versions.

    Normally you n t have to enter a product key if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc because it contains a picture of the factory settings and is different from a disc of Microsoft Vista.

    Anyway, as said Akuma you can order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.
    The another model of laptop recovery disk will not work because the hardware is different.

    Good bye

  • Utility disk in El Capitan will not create a partition on an SDXC card

    Hi, I want to create two partitions on a map of Micro SDXC 64 GB. However, when you run the disk utility in El Capitan, the "score" button is grayed out out and not clickable.

    Anyone know why this is happening? Or know a work-around? The card is for Raspberry Pi my son, who needs a 'boot' partition and partition "recovery" (in FAT format). I deleted the map using disk utility, but the "score" button remains unavailable.

    Thank you for all the helpful tips.

  • How can I repair a file Vault disk in El Capitan?

    I had force my Macbook shut down recently and I opened disk utility to see if everything was okay. I'm running day El Capitan with a FileVault encrypted drive. Mid-2014 Macbook Pro bought February 2015.

    "First aid" running on the external Apple SSD article seems to be OK. It is when I run 'First aid' Macintosh HD said tells me that something is wrong and it needs to be repaired, but there is no repair button. Subsequent executions of "First aid" keep showing that there is a problem, so it doesn't seem to be repaired first aid course.

    I tried to start with the command + R to repair the disk, but it let me only apply "First aid" for Apple, not the Macintosh HD SSD. He said that Macintosh HD was not mounted. I guess it's because it is encrypted with FileVault, but I couldn't find how to tell him to decipher or mount the drive to take a peek.

    How can I run a repair on the disk? Should I even bother?

    Thank you!

    To mount, check or repair a disk or a volume that is encrypted with FileVault using disk utility, enter the FileVault password when you are prompted.

  • Is it possible to move the \windows\installer folder? The reason why I ask is because it takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another disk with more space.

    The \windows\installer folder takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another drive if possible. Ashwin

    No, I don't think. Just about anything in the Windows directory cannot be moved. You will need to find another way to clear disk space. Try to compress your drive hard (if you don't know how, ask).

    You say that you do not want to open the case.  Is it fair to clone the disk or you are not going to install it in the computer?
