Transfer files from disk hard XP to Vista operating system

I have seen this question several times but none of the above has solved the problem. My PC under XP OS crashed.  I removed the HD and I am trying to copy or open the files on Vista PC. Because the information is not the same I'm not allowed to do anything with the files. I can not open them and I can't copy them on the C drive.

Hi Charlie,

O what happens when you try to open the file or folder?

Try to take in hand the folder and then access them.

Ownership of a file or folder:

1. right click on the file or folder for which you want to set permissions, click Properties , and then click the Security tab.

2. click on Advanced to open the Advanced security settings for dialog box.

3 click the owner tab, click on change. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

4. in the new Advanced security settings for box, in the to a change in ownership: field, select your user name and Verify the replace the owner of subcontainers and objects. Click OK, repeat for the remaining squares. (If your username does not appear click the button other users or groups to add your account).

5. open the directory that contains the folder you want to delete. Right click on the file and delete it.

  • How can I transfer files from my old pc sony Vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003

    How can I transfer files from my old sony pc running vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003 Windows 8

    Welcome to the HP, Roodie forum.

    There is an easy way to do it using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer :

    Transfer files and settings from another PC

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you do not want to transfer files using the easy transfer method, you can manually make the copy.

    1. You can connect the systems on the same network,
    2. Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
    3. Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
    4. Copy the data you want to transfer

    On the Vista Machine:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window,
    • Right click on the folder that contains the data you want to 'share' (transfer)
    • Click Properties > share > share and follow the instructions to allow the folder to be shared on the network

    On the Machine Windows 8:

    • Windows key (opens the start screen) > anywhere type 'computer' >
    • Click on "computer" to open the "Computer" File Explorer window >
    • Click map network drive and follow the instructions to map the drive

    Don't forget: If your account name is different on the Vista computer, you will need to click on "Sign in using different credentials" and then enter the name of the account on the Vista computer AND the password for this account.

    You can do this with the upper or lower level folders folder level - as long as the folder is shared, you should have general access to the data it contains.

    There are cases where you will not end up being "owner" of the data transferred - you will have to perhaps enter and adjust the property for files / folders after they are copied to the computer of Windows 8.

  • How can I transfer files from a hard drive on a second hard drive on the same computer

    My 150 G hard drive is full - I installed a second drive hard 150 G and need to download my original hard drive

    My 150 G hard drive is full - I installed a second drive hard 150 G and need to download my original hard drive

    First of all, note that "Download" isn't really an appropriate word.

    Moving files from one disk to the other does not differ from moving from one folder to another folder on the same drive. There are several ways to do so. The two most common are:

    1. copy / paste

    2. open the source and destination in two instances of Windows Explorer (or my computer) and drag and drop from one to the other.

  • Transfer music from Windows 8 to Surface RT operating system

    I find that Surface RT doesn't have an app to run just about everything. Now, I find I can't transfer music from a flash drive that was on Windows Media Player.  This flaw is never told to potential buyers. I would have not bought.

    Windows Media Player is a program on Windows 8.  Mainly, it gets its music from files stored in the music folder.

    If you have opened the file manager on your computer that has the music, click the MUSIC folder you see in the left tree.  If this folder is empty, then your music was stored somewhere else.  Check other records, including the downloads folder.

    Windows Media Player scans the entire computer for files and catalogues, but does not appear where they are stored.  You will need to manually browse the folder via the file manager to find.

    Better to stick a USB stick in the USB port and when you are looking and find the files, copy them to the USB.

    If it's music you've been downloading, most while they go in the Downloads folder or to the last place where you downloaded a file from Internet Explorer.

    When I backed up popular data to work on their computers, I noticed that a lot of them stored images, videos and music in the Documents folder for some strange reason.  However, the program in windows scans the computer for the type of media, they are intended and throw them in their own built in file manager.

    Always best to stay organized.  Chances are, your music files are scattered everywhere.

    You can organize at the same time that you copy them.  Simply tell the program to 'Cut' and then 'paste' to the USB.  In this way, it will move the files to the USB, and then when you are done, and you want the music to stay on your main computer, just copy the music on the main computer to the MUSIC folder.

    This way you'll always know where they are and the music is not only organized on your computer but also copied on the USB so that you can copy on the RT.

    I kept my is fairly simple.  I put all my files on a Microsd card and inserted into the RT of mine.  I opened the music app XBox and waited about two minutes and bingo, my music has been catalogued and ready to play.  Most of the people that screw up and think that the computer does not find their music.  They forget that they must WAIT and let the computer analyzes the disks for the media.  What RT can be slow but sure.

  • Portege R100 boots from the HARD drive - lack of operating system

    Hello

    I have a Portege R100 which won't the HD boot, I get the message "missing operating system".
    I don't have a compatible CD or floppy, I just about 1.8 inches for the hd, it works and I also have norton ghost 2003 is installed in another computer (a toshiba satellite A45).

    I tried to recover the drive with the help of norton and the image of the Ghost in the recovery CD, but it keep asking for a password.

    I would like to know if there is a way to use the restore with norton CD and usb driver and password screen (or where I can get the password?).

    Thank you!

    What password do you mean?

    and what recovery CD do you use? The image on the Toshiba Recovery CD is locked and cannot be extracted.

    It turns out that you cannot start or install the OS on the USB key!
    You must boot from the CD/DVD compatible player that can be connected to the PC card slot.

  • Dv4-1301TX - disconnects from wireless network frequently. Vista operating system

    I bought recently a laptop DV4-1301TX with Vista Home Premium. The laptop is great, but I have a question that I can't solve. I get disconnected from the network wireless intermittently. When this happens, I will receive a time out page while surfing on the internet. To resolve this issue, turn off/turn on the wireless network with the HP wireless Assistant. The problem repeats frequently while surfing internet. I have updated the driver to the latest version.

    I have another laptop HP with Windows XP which works very well with my wireless network. All opinions are appreciated.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply. I managed to solve my problem by upgrading the firmware of the laptop. Mine has an older version. After upgrading the firmware, I don't experience any disconnects from the wireless network.

    I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.

    The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

    Which files are those files?

    You can transfer files from one disk to another without what
    If one of the disks is external or not. The process is identical
    for two players to drive (or thumb)).

    There are several ways to do so. Drag-and-drop and copy - paste are
    two of the simplest. If you don't know how to do these, post back to

    You have installed MS Works. This is not the same thing as MS Excel.
    I didn t try to open excel with MS works files, but it seems that it s is not possible!
    The excel files must be saved in Microsoft Works format, if you want to open with work!

    Install Excel if you want to open and use files other people Excel.
