Transfer current Win7 C to 2nd HD installed?

I want to move my current Win7 and other files/applications installed on the C drive to a white (bigger and faster) more recent HD, currently affected "drive F.  An image of the backup C drive is available on an external drive.  Once I have restore the F drive image, how can I change the original C-F and redefine the restored F to C?

Or is there another method as a custom installation on the file original win DVD Win7 for a new C drive?  If yes how to designate the active drive (empty) F as the new "C drive"?  The Win7 will reinstall cause the original C to redefine a different drive letter?  If so, other existing drive letters can be locked (i.e., remain the same)?

The reader is equal to or greater than the current C:\ drive, you may reimage C:\ now and restore on drive F:\. You will need an external drive and you need connect the F:\ drive as boot drive.

  • Legal upgrade (and activate) for Win7 64-bit Windows XP 32-bit WITHOUT overwriting current (replacing) Win XP 32-bit install?

    I use version OEM Windows XP HOME 32 bits on a Gateway desktop computer - with no problems.  However, the hard drive is to reach the end of its planned life expectancy, and approaching the period of support for XP.

    To solve the problem, I installed a new (small capacity) hard drive, with the intention to install Win 7 Pro (64 bit) on the new drive.  I read and reread ALL instructions on different help pages (for installation) (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/)... and avoided all of the common problems.

    Currently I have the old (Win XP) and the new hard drive physically assigned to DH0 DH1 - as a CUSTOM, run Setup. -leaving me with a choice of dual-boot to initialize the top between "Earlier version of Windows" (on DH1) and Windows 7 (on DH0).  They both starts without any problem.

    HOWEVER - during inspection, I see that the folder "OLD Windows" on Windows 7 drive in a VACUUM.  This indicates that installation of Windows 7 does not recognize the existence of my current installation of Windows XP on the other hard drive?  Upon activation, I get the dreaded
    "Windows 7 activation error: 0xC004F061.
    because "a previous version of Windows wasn't on your computer when Windows 7 was installed. To install an upgrade version of Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP must be installed on your computer. "

    The new Windows 7 must be installed on the same drive as the old Windows XP  In order to activate the 'upgrade '?

    I have no problem with the drudgery of migrating my data and install applications from one drive to another with an empty directory "OLD Windows" - as long as both car are mounted.  My only question is to know if the 'new' Win 7 64 - bit OS SHOULD replace the old XP 32-bit operating system in order to Activate the newly installed operating system Win 7 64 bit.

    Is there an 'Official' Microsoft document that answers this question?

    Thank you

  • How to add a 2nd HD as the primary hard drive with an OS, STILL make my current HD, as a 2nd hard drive.

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 (Core 2 Quad with 4 GB of Ram - Win Vista Home) with an internal 500 GB SATA HD and want to replace it with a WD 1 TB SATA internal hard drive and add an operating system (Win-7 - 32-bit).  I hope that this isn't really a problem, and yet, I would like to use my current 500 SATA GB internal HD, I replaced, as a (the) 2 internal SATA Hard Drive.  Years, 2 two different internal hard drives have been set as master and slave.  Any ideas on how to make the transition to the larger 1 to SATA HD, install an OS on it and then install my previous 500 GB SATA HD as a 2nd HD internal?  Thank you very much for any help!

    You can leave the 500 GB drive, as it is if you want.  The system configuration has a menu item, the boot order, which determines which device gets tried first when you start the system.  Most Dells made before 2012 make this easy for you, because if you do not have a RAID actually running on the machine, the disk hard boot option is limited to SATA 0.  That is why your boot hard drive must be attached to this port.  The operating system on your 500 GB drive not even considering, although it is possible to set up the boot on SATA disk 0 files so that you can start the operating system on the second disc.  Systems of multiple starts work like that, and if you want this option, the installer of Windows 7 would even set up for you.

    I have Windows XP on the SATA 0 drive in my XPS 410.  I bought a second drive, started the Windows 7 dvd and run the Setup program to install Windows 7 on the second disc.  When my computer starts up, a message appears giving me the option to boot or the other OS.  Make no mistake, however, if the SATA drive 0 fails, you cannot start the second player by itself.  Initial startup files are always on SATA 0.

  • R710 2nd CPU Install - E1410

    Before configuration: 1 x Xeon 5540 CPU with 24 GB RAM

    Configuration: 2 x Xeon 5540 CPU with 48GB of RAM

    -After installing a CPU Socket #2 and RAM to match 1 CPU and RAM at the start, I get the error on the LCD E1410 fatal system error.

    -J' have moved the new CPU2 in CPU1 socket then removed the CPU 2 RAM and it starts without any problem.

    -J' I then took RAM banks on CPU1 and left with only 2 sticks in slots 1 and 2, it starts without any problem.

    -J' then took and put the old CPU in Socket #2 and put 8 GB of RAM in an identical configuration CPU 2 banks and get the same error.

    After that this diagnosis, it shows that this is NOT the CPU, which raises the question and it doesn't seem to be the RAM either. There is not bent or missing pins on the socket. I tried to reset the NVRAM, but it doesn't seem like it fixed. Is there some BIOS update that I need to be able to use both CPU? I've never seen something like this before... I really hope this isn't taking itself somehow.

    Everyone! Great news. I'll declare this post as solved! :) After all, troubleshooting and testing. I want to say... Check your PIN under processor 1 if your getting this error. You may see 1 or 2... or in my case 8 bent pins... I can only say that came from Dell as well as the only time 1 processor has been removed was in troubleshooting put the 2nd. It seems that I never checked to see if there was something wrong because the processor worked was no problem to slot 1... However, after checking he had 8 pins bent. I used the cutting edge flat tweezers to pry their place and reposition in place... put two processors in and BAM! It starts without error.

    Question... How the [ADMIN NOTE: profanity deleted] it not work with 8 pins touch or crossed. How have I not the kernel vm crashes. Laughing out loud

    Thank you all for your help. I'll tell you its solved because I am the OP, however please continue troubleshooting your problems.

    Thanks again

  • How can I transfer Win. 7 USB drive and install it on another computer?

    I don't want to win. 7 on my netbook more. I want to put it completely on my USB key and then install it on my desktop.  I don't have the DVD for her.

    If Windows 7 came preinstaled on your Netbook, you can not transfer it to another computer.

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    If it is a license to retail, you bought in a store, then you will need to follow the instructions to create a bootable. See the article for instructions:

  • Can I legally use a win7 32-bit code pro install win7 64-bit, if I have the 64-bit disc?

    Recently, I accidentally bought 32-bit win7 online for a new PC I am building. I wanted 64-bit. I have a 64-bit version of anoterh installation disk I did and was wondering if you could just use the 32-bit code to install win7 64-bit instead of having to go through the process of return together and everything. Thanks in advance for answers!

    The product key is not specific to architecture (32 or 64-bit), but the spirit of the OEM System Builder licensing is, both 32 and 64 bit DVD are sold separately and include their own product key.

    If its OEM license that came with a new computer, you could of course just to borrow a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit DVD retail or OEM system builder DVD and use it with your product key provided with the installation of 32-bit, and nothing would be wrong.

    There are two types of OEM suppliers. Royalty OEM vendors can distribute Windows products by using the preinstallation (SLP) product keys so that end users can bypass product activations. All other OEM vendors distribute Windows products by using the standard product keys that require the user to activate Windows products.

  • advice needed on 2nd computer install

    Hello. I will participate in a photography workshop next week and they just asked everyone to bring laptops and use the afternoon as working time of Photoshop and Lightroom. I have an iMac and I have to borrow a PC or try to find a Mac for rent.

    My question is that I think I have a 2nd sign-in available for my licensing Lightroom and Photoshop, right? Do I have to use the same OS if I rent a Mac? What happens if I have an available PC?

    I don't want to do a task force and then not having my files smoothly transition in my Lightroom at home.

    Also, I have to take an external drive to save all on or creative cloud - what does mean?


    Thank you!

    If you use a PC vs Mac depends on what version you have.  If you have a cloud subscription, then you can use the versions of the software for platforms or both.  If you do not have a subscription Cloud Lightroom is the only one of the two that you could use the same license on two systems while Photoshop is allowed only for one or the other, but not both.

    Programs installed on the computer, and files that you create with the program can be registered there as well.

    I installed the updates of 08/02/11 and the result was that my computer will not re-start. Several Windows of difficulty of startup attempts indicating that Windows could not repair. After you send the info live the last choice has been to open the system restore removing updates and I was able to reboot.

I would like to know if anyone has isolated the faulty update causing the problem and the question of whether a fix is under way.

    Want to meet you here. The good old times fade quickly and now I'm just old.

    There were a few messages about a file hash with KB2482017 inconsistency, but said positions were IE8 running in Windows XP.

    Suggest you manually download the update and Save it - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7 x 64 Edition (KB2482017)
    Once the download is complete, close all the programs/applications and browsers and then run Windows6. 1 KB2482017-x 64.msu, as you would for a .exe file.

  • I am trying to install another gig of ram on my laptop of HP running under win7 32, but when I install the stick, windows crashes at startup.

    First thanks for taking the time to look at my problem. I just bought this machine used and he installed a 7 on good own licensed copy and it works just ok. Could not load too many programs or it is quite slow. More ram can only help so I picked up the ram Kingston correct and all stop, stuck the new concert date in the only opening slot, and windows crashes about 15 seconds. Hard, close and remove the ram and back in buisiness. The old for new works, fine. Any combination that adds more of the original concert hangs the system.

    The machine is a HP Pavilion zd7000. HP says it has a max of ram 2048 and a Crucial site scan shows the 1 slot available without support dual channel. It is an Intel Pentium 4 @ 3 .00GHz, speed 2992 without support of the ECC.

    So I did a lot of reading on this and went into the bios at startup and the bios indicates the additional concert when it is loaded, but it crashes. I have run the checker with the two sticks installed memory and it shows no problem. I went in first Grade and manually configured virtual memory to 1024-2048. I looked at the box that limits the max memory to 1028 and he did not check for me clear, but I can not change the number to 2048.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
