• Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

  I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

  Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

  If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

  You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

  New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

  • \USERS\\Desktop\
  • \USERS\\Downloads\
  • \USERS\\Favorites\
  • \USERS\\Documents\
  • \USERS\\Music\
  • \USERS\\Pictures\
  • \USERS\\Videos\

  ... etc...

  Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

  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.

  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.

  1. Do you receive any error or display message?
  2. 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:

  Method 3: Disconnect your player safely, and restart the computer. And then try to transfer the files.

• I deleted a file from my portable hard drive, can I get it back?

  I deleted a file from my portable hard drive, I need help to get it back?

  First stop using your portable player as your deleted folder is now considered to be unallocated space and can be replaced by new data. This would then make your chances of recovering your file much less likely.

  First check your trash. If it is not there then...

  There are some free and paid for recovery software. Just Google.

  If there are companies that specialize in data recovery. This would be an expenditure of significabt, but would probably be to maximize your chances. It depends on your expertise & how data is important for to know you which way you want to choose.

  One last point if your data is important, be sure to have a backup plan in place. Having your important data in one place requires trouble.

• Transfer of files from the old HARD DRIVE to new computer without an old computer. (He's dead - can not use) I have the hard drive, but need help to transfer my old files and settings.

  ·        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:

  You need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. 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.

• How can I move (not simply copy) folders/files to an internal hard drive to another hard drive internal?

  I just finished the construction of a new office with 2 internal hard drives: a Crucial SSD of 128 MB and a 1 TB Samsung HDD. I loaded my programs commonly used on the SSD more fast and Windows 7 (64-bit) and to use a lot more big HARD drive to store data and programs less commonly used. I transferred all my data in my old desktop using Windows Easy Transfer, but it would only allow me to transfer data to my system drive / C: (SSD) boot. So now, I want to move my data files on my D: drive. Windows will allow me to move the folders and files on an external drive, but apparently only will allow me to copy on the D: drive. Which means I have to delete all the files copied from the C: drive to D:. This certainly isn't a huge problem, but I wonder if there is a way to just move all the files, rather than copy/delete. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

  Why don't you just cut & paste?

  Open Windows Explorer, select the files you want.  If you want to select all files in a given folder, press Ctrl + A (this will select all THE files & folders).

  Press the ALT on your keyboard and you will see the Edit menu (see the screenshot below).

  

  Select "cut".

  Now, go to your destination folder and press the ALT key again.  Click on the Edit menu.

  Select "Paste".
