• How to transfer all files and programs from old HDD to new HDD?

  I would like to change the HARD drive of my laptop to one with more capacity. Is there a way for me to transfer all my current content to the new the old HARD drive without having to re - install all programs / operating system?

  Well, the simplest would be a backup image.

  I m using a 3rd party software. It s a Norton Ghost.
  This tool allows you to create an image of you HARD drive or simple partitions.
  I created an image file and stored on the external HARD drive.

  Then, I installed the new OS on the laptop, installed Norton Ghost and used the external HARD disk image file to restore all the files and programs again.

  But you don't need t to use the ghost there are many other applications to create an own google simple image

• 7 eliminated Windows Outlook Express & all files and settings. Are they buried somewhere were I can get back in?

  Laptop is a Dell Studio 15, about 1 month.
  Upgrade Vista to Windows 7.
  Previously, I used Outlook Express and saved some important emails into different folders in Outlook.   I didn't know that outlook Express would be gone.  Message says "e-mail & settings files will remain available after the upgrade".  Loaded a new email program (Mozilla Thunderbird) but can not find some old files of e-mail.

  If you use Outlook on a previous version of Windows, and then once you have upgraded to Windows 7 then you should be able to reinstall Outlook and open your previous email information.  For longer instructions with migration check Outlook the

• Detail of computer Vista Business 32 lost in hurricane. How can I reinstall and activate Vista to the new computer and use the backup image to restore files and programs on the new computer?

  Home built computer with Vista installed detail. I always have backups who intend to reinstall on the machine even if the HDD or MB went bad. Full image backup was on the hard drive of withdrawal which do not damaged. Never planned to lose computer any wave of sandstorm. I reinstalled on the same computer successfully before but never tried to migrate to a new computer.  Cannot uninstall Vista from your old computer, because it was submerged in salt water and died. I am not very well informed, but I can follow directions.  Thank you.

  You don't have to worry about uninstall on the destroyed computer, because it is not usable.

  And no message is sent when you uninstall any computer anyway.

  When you perform the Activation on the new computer, if you have problems of activation to the phone option I have included and do not take the road to auto answer, but brace yourself for a real person to talk to you.

  Then you can explain what happened.

• Transfer all of the data files and program from old computer (Vista) to new computer (Windows 7)

  I've been using a Dell xps 420, 32-bit Vista since 2008. I just bought a new Dell xps-8700, 64-bit with windows 7 preinstalled. I would like to transfer all THE DATA, SETTINGS AND PROGRAMS from my old computer to the new computer. I bought a cable easy transfer of Dell for windows, xp, vista, windows 7 and 8. I read somewhere that the method of cable will transfer all my installed programs. Is this true?

  Can someone give me the better, easier and faster method available. At least give me a step by step procedure for this task.

  No, it won't, it will transfer personal files and settings. You will have to reinstall your applications from the original installation files or install CDs and DVDs.

  If you really want to move your applications to the Vista computer, you will need to buy a commercial programs such as Laplink PC Mover that will allow you to move your programs:

• How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

  How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

  I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

  What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

  I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

  Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

  Thank you all!

  Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

  Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

• I lost all the photos, files and programs, can someone help me please?

  I did a system restore (I think) and lost all the photos, files and programs.  Can someone tell me please how do I get back them?

  Lillie

  Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

  Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

  Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

  Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

  Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

  C:\Documents and Settings

  Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

  Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

  Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

  Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.

• Remove the lock on all files and folders...?

  There has been a lot of questions on how to remove locks on folders and files on Windows 7. Those I've read on this site worked and the lock can be removed easily.

  ... However, you cannot do a folder/file at once. I have a lot of items on my desk, and more than half of them have these locks on them. How I removed the locks on all files and folders on my user account. There are only 2 accounts on the computer. Mine and another person. Mine is set to the administrator account, the other is just a standard user. I started by ignoring the locks for months, then I tried to get rid of them by myself, and frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing. Please, I beg you. If you know of a way, share it!

  If the locks would not constitute an obstacle to operations, why bother?

  And BTW, it; s no need AT ALL to run as an administrator on a daily basis in Windows 7. Forget everything THAT you have learned about XP - Win 7 is much more advanced.

  You realize that the built-in Administyrator account is disabled by default, and if it is possible for him, that may be beyond what you're comfortable with?

  Create another Admin account, call the Admin or Tech or similar and give it a password. Let this accouynt for the elevation of access and privilege of emergency and activate your account for daily use in a Standard user account. Your computer will be safer that way.

  Hello

  The update option in the settings of PC mentions that you can save your personal files, it does not mention programs and applications.

  The first screen you see when you select the refresh option is as follows.

  

  You will need to reinstall all of the programs deleted.
