Transfer of files to a backup hard drive resets their dates
This is the first time I started to transfer my data to a backup hard drive. I ran into some kind of complication, however. All records to be transferred, whether by copying or cutting, have their dates reset. Their creation dates are listed not is more like when they were created originally, but when they were transferred to the new hard disk. Fortunately, this does not affect the dates of the files inside of them, but this has made the Organization of various files - not to mention the question of being able to check while they were facts of being very problematic.
What is the cause and how can I avoid it? Can I return these dates?

· My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)
I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.
Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.
You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.
This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.
Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:

Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.

can not find restored files after restoring backup hard drive
I had a problem with my computer so I reset my PC back to factory setting. Before doing anything, I backed up all my documents/pictures in an external hard drive.
After successfully resetting my PC to factory setting, I ran restore backup files... I took me 4 hours to restore. Restore files has been a success.
When I restart my PC, I couldn't find anything my back upwards. I don't know that there have been restored as I have only 50 G to 200G left of my C drive.
I tried to look for documents, but I can't find anything.
What happened to all my backup files?

Is it possible to copy my original files with a backup hard drive with re-import them?
I'm doing a copy of external backup everything on a hard drive, I can work from. I saved the backup catalog on a new hard drive and I can copy my originals to the new hard drive outside of lightroom, but I don't know how to get lightroom to be able to work the new copy. What I have to re-import everything? I also tried 'Find missing folder' but then she moves the folder to the new hard drive and I don't have two copies of work.
I use Lightroom4. My original files are stored on an external hard drive. I don't know of anyway to copy files into lightroom.
Thank you
Since then, we discussed backups... I think it's a mistake to use your backups of your photos and use your backup catalog files. In my opinion, when you perform a backup, you should leave here on intact and unused backup disk, for ever and ever, except in the case where your originals get destroyed or damaged somehow.
So, if you really want to use your backups in the way you described - don't. Very bad idea. And if you go ahead and do it anyway, then Yes, you must re-bind the missing files every time you go.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.
From your problem description, I understand that you are unable to transfer files from an external drive on another drive. Please let me know if this isn't the problem that you are experiencing.
Before troubleshooting, I have little information on the issue.
- Do you receive any error or display message?
- Did you recent hardware or modifications to the software on the computer before this problem?
Try the methods and then check after each method:
Method 1: Transfer files from a drive to the location on the desktop or a temporary folder and then try to transfer them to the destination disk.
Note: make sure the free space on the disk in the destination drive.
Method 2: Run the Fixit:
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/
Method 3: Disconnect your player safely, and restart the computer. And then try to transfer the files.
If the problem persists, post your reply with results and questions above. We are happy to help you further in the advanced troubleshooting steps!

How can I restore my backup files on an external hard drive using Windows XP SP3?
I back up my files to an external hard drive using windows XP sp2. My pc crashed and re installed with Windows XP sp3. Now I can't find the backup on the system tools utility. How can I restore my backup files. Help, please.
Hi PML.
Yes, I used the built in «Back to the top of the tool» Unfortunately I don't have the CD. My Netbook is a HP mini computer that comes with Windows XP home. Thank you for your help and I hope to hear from you again.How do you reinstall Windows? If you have used the HP Recovery system to recover from a hidden partition, backup should have been reinstalled.
I suggest you call HP support.

Trying to transfer files from an internal hard drive outside under XP
I tried to transfer files and settings from hard drive to external hard drive. The transfer seems to take place but the hard drive is always too full. Please notify.
Your question is vague, as others have mentioned.
If you try to transfer a very large file (over 4 GB) and receive a message that there are not enough space on the external hard drive even if the external hard drive seems to have a lot of room, the reason is probably that your external drive is formatted using the FAT32 file system. If you need help with this problem, please specify your original question. Be sure to include the exact text of any error message, without paraphrasing.
Do NOT format your external drive if there is already data on this topic.

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.

I use MozBack to the top, when I followed the instructions of the wizard a backup file on my portable hard drive. I'm back to Thunderbird I found the content of my Inbox was deleted. Sent and deleted files have not been removed. I then returned to MozBackup and followed the instructions to restore the information from my Inbox, but it didn't happen.
What I did wrong.as incredible as it may seem. MozBackup has nothing to do with Mozilla or Thunderbird. If you have any questions about mozbackup I don't really know where you're going.

Would appreciate help from the members of the Forum.
The drive on my Acer Z5610 is overheating and stop unexpectedly. I bought a new 1 TB WD HARD drive. I tried loading the Acer recovery CD 3 I initially created in order to load all applications touch etc, but received a message to say that I got at loading Windows. The computer came pre loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, so I did not all Windows disks. My question is: How can I transfer Windows 7 on my new HARD drive so I can begin to rebuild the PC?
Hello
I think that you have created the driver & application backup, if this is the case & * if the old HDD is still detected & boots you could create a factroy restore discs, if not then you might even get to store.acer.com.
