Transfer data to the new computer.

My old mother card computer went bad, but the hard drive is OK.  How can I transfer files and setting from the old hard drive to the new computer.  Both are running Windows 7.  I installed the old hard drive in the new computer.

Hi JohnWise1943,

If the hard disk is installed on the same computer, you can use the hard drive as a second partition to access the files.

You can also visit this link and ignore the title and return Let me fixit myself and instead of locating the folder Windows.old, you can use the same method and transfer files from an old to a new hard drive.

If you need to transfer files and settings, it must be plugged into another computer, and you can use the Windows easy transfer to transfer files:

  • How Long should it take to transfer data to the new iPhone

    I had a capacity of 32GB iPhone 5 c that I had used about 30 GB of.  Got a new 6 iPhone with a capacity of 64 GB and after a few false starts, I am now transfer data from the old phone to the new by using iTunes.  However, it was 'Step 5 of 5' sync of Apps for more than an hour.  Should it really take this long?  When can I give up and try another thing... and I want to try?

    Thanks in advance

    I had a similar problem when my 5-a new 6 s using the iTunes backup, and I think that the problem is with the thinning app. This will affect you, because if you updated apps on your iPhone 5 c, this would not have been be transferred to iTunes. iTunes is trying to install older versions of your applications with more recent data on your phone, and that is the cause of being stuck in this step. You have to update all your apps in iTunes and then sync your iPhone.

  • Tranfering data to the new computer

    I just bought a new computer and installed DW8 on it. I was wondering if there is a file or a database I can pull from my old computer, which is installed with all FTP DWMX / connection/password so I don't have to do it manually. I manage about 50 sites, so this would allow me to save a few bucks working hours.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Do a search on the exchange of an extension to export site definitions. DW
    allows you to do one at a time, but the extension allows you to do all at once.

    Hi Matthew Dragon,.

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    You can transfer data from one computer to another, but you can't transfer programs. Unless it's portable and requires no installation.

    I suggest you to install the game in the new computer and copy the game files (including save game files) from your old computer and save it in the same place in your new computer.

    Backup set files will be in the folder where the game is installed or in my documents.

  • Windows live photo gallery: original photos lost the transfer to the new computer

    photos to the new computer, and the originals have not been transferred as im guessing they're saved in the software/program that cannot be transferred.

    If there is not a way to transfer original and edited photos to the new computer, is there a way to return all original with a single click, so that I can transfer the originals on my new computer?

    Thank you.

    Thank you, you saved my originals... I copy paste, but can not work how to connect my pictures changed to the originals so that I can click on my modified photos and click on 'back '.

    Thanks again

    ===========================================
    Sorry, but I don't have the exact solution for re - associate the
    originals with edited versions.  The only thing I would like to know
    to try would be to place the originals in the original Images
    folder on the new system.

    Maybe... I say just that maybe if you copied the photo gallery
    exclusive database of the old system and used it to replace
    the database on the new system. (Just copy and paste the file in)
    the appropriate on the new system folder, and when you see
    ... dialog box you want to replace? with? Select Yes.

    Also... you could instead of replace your new database...
    rename it... Pictures.OLD for example. So if the replacement
    do not re - associate files... you can remove the replacement
    and rename the OLD version in what it was and the Gallery
    must be as it was before the change.

    Depending on the version of your photo gallery might be the database
    Pictures.PD5, Pictures.pd6, Pictures.pd7...

    The path to the version of Win XP is:

    C:\Documents and Settings\ > user name<\Local>
    Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery\
    Pictures.PD4, Pictures.pd5 or Pictures.pd6

    Windows Vista:

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6

    Windows 7:

    Windows\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Live Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd6

    (Sorry, but I'm not sure of the path in Windows 8 but if you)
    do a search for PD6 PD7, you should be able to find it.

    The former article is a user experience
    with the shifting of the database... maybe it would offer a few ideas:

  • Can I transfer to the new computer hard drive with the operating system

    I am building a new computer and want the best way to transfer my data.  I can transfer the data to a new SATA drive and then install the new drive in the new computer without having to do anything else.   Or I can install XP on the new computer first then do the transfer queue using the old IDE drive in a portable USB enclosure?  or?

    John

    Sort that works is great.

    If you use the USB case, make sure that it can provide enough power to the drive.  Usually this isn't a problem if the old drive was a laptop computer but can be a problem if it was a desktop drive.

    Assuming that your old computer still works, the easiest is to put all the files you want to transfer to a folder, and then share this folder on the network.  Connect both computers to your home network, then simply attach to the shared folder on the network from the other computer and drag and drop your files to your new computer.

  • How can I recover data from a disk that has been done under windows xp with the new computer that is running windows 7?

    My drive has been created using a windows xp windows live care and my new computer works with windows 7. How can I get information on the new computer. When I tried to download the software of microsoft it would allow me to do. Any ideas?

    Hi Dorene33,

    ·         What exactly happens when you try to download the software?

    ·         You receive an error message?

    ·         You are able to access drive from devices and printers?

    ·         What happens exactly when you double click on the drive and try to open it?

    I suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malware

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

    Hope this information helps.

  • How to use transfer windows for xp to xp. When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    How to use transfer windows for xp to xp.  When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    Hello, welcome.

    The process is automatic and the maximum transfer rate should be about 20 GB/HR. If the process crashes during that long of a time, it's probably because of something internal rather something you're doing wrong.
    For reference purposes, I included this link. It goes into the details of the migration from XP to Vista (and the basic steps you follow). The instructions are for migrating to Vista via the network, but you can easily follow the steps and choose a different option for your specific installation.
    For both machines, I recommend you to prepare for the transfer using the following procedure:
    1. click on START > run
    2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter
    3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed
    4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN
    5. click on START > run
    6. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
    7. type chkdsk /r and press enter
    8 allow the system to attempt disassembly of the volume
    9. allow the system to plan restarting
    10. restart your computer
    11 let checkdisk analyze the file system on your hard drive
    12. Once completed, perform the same steps on the other machine
    13. Once completed, repeat the transfer
