• transfer files from your old computer, use old hard drive?

  I just buy new desktop HP Pavilion p6-2120.  I need to transfer files, programs, etc from my 6 year old Dell desktop computer.  I know that I can use the program of transfer of Windows 7 with USB key, easy transfer cable, or external hard drive to move the files.

  As can another method of transfer, I take the old hard drive from the Dell desktop computer & install in the new HP Pavilion?  Is the old hard drive (ATX 80 GB, 7200 RPM, DIM2, XPS2) compatible with the new HP where it will work again?

  Since I am not transfer that much is the best for any purchase a Windows 7 transfer cable?

  mikesimms,

  Your theory is correct. If you want that all settings, email, documents, photos, music, and other data files, use either the program Windows Easy Transfer. It will accept an external device or use the easy transfer cable.

  If you want only the documents, photos, music, and other data files , then you could add the XP disk to the system (temporarily use the p6-2120 DVD player wiring). You can copy files to the new folders.

• 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:
  http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=external+hardrive+enclosure&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=14388537836&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=556960941559985931&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32uorbwbuk_b

  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.

• Pavilion a6500f: can I use my old hard drive as a second drive to the new I install.

  I have a Pavilion a6500f I can access is no longer as he continues to tell me there are registry errors.  My recovery disk (I got a) or do a hard reset or else he will start.  It came with a window that says recovery system or start Windows normally.  I get a new hard drive to it and have a whole new Windows 7 installed.  The thing is that I don't want to lose all my stuff on the old hard drive.  So my question is can I install the OLD hard drive as a second drive to the new?  If I can then I can just copy all the files from the old drive to the new and use the old as a memory drive.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  The simple answer is Yes.

  (1) I would like to replace the hard drive with the same drive size or larger. But does not exceed 2 T.

  (2) I hope you made the original recovery DVD set the original recovery firstly, DVD media DVD + R try as these will save you having to create a driver disk.  If you really have to buy a complete set of recovery, get it here. It will have all the necessary drivers.  Only $27.00

  (3) I copy the files and destroy the old disk. Its usefulness is damaged since 2008.

• I can't activate my real Vista on 'New' material by using the hard drive of my old hardware

  OK, I got a laptop comes pre-loaded with windows Vista and it has got water damage and shorted, the hard drive however is in good working condition. I bought a laptop replacement because I didn't want to be on another computer that someone else would break anyway.

  so I bought this used the laptop from a friend that he would use to intnet and games, she had similar specs as my old laptop except the proccessor was different but similar speed and what not. what I want to do is to install the hard drive from my old with Vista genuine in this 'new' computer that has a hard drive in a way smaller and is loaded with XP.

  compatible sound and I have already, but it asks me for my product key that I have but it says its wrong (I guess as its headquarters in the old hardware) so is there a way to unregister the old hardware or upgrade my hardware information in order to use my old hard drive and keep my status as a true?

  not only is a HDD larger but its quicker and there all my files ive been without for more than a year now and frankly I need it back so bad at this point

  Thank you thank you

  Sorry, but versions OEM of Windows Vista cannot be transferred to another computer.  The license is permanently tied to the original computer, it has been installed and activated on. Carey Frisch

• Possible to recover files on an old hard drive using the new computer?

  Hi, my old computer CPU fried making UN usable. I just bought a custom P6150t of hp and I was wondering if there is some way I can install the old Hard drive in the computer I just bought. I really want to stay away from the team of geek or something that's going to cost me a lot of money. Any suggestions?

  It is certainly possible, in fact, it should be fairly simple how experienced you are with computers. Hand, you have a few options I can think. Was of course since I am not aware of what kind of hard drive in your old computer, you will probably need to buy an additional cable\cord\connector to connect to the motherboard, and if it is an old IDE drive, you can buy an IDE to SATA as one of them.

  This is all assuming you want to keep the hard drive installed on the PC. And although it may sound intimidating or difficult to do, it's really not! If you can put some screws with a screwdriver, you will be able to install the old drive if your new PC. Simply enter the model number of your PC to the HP drivers & support web page or click on the following link: upgrade and repair, (this is for the model number you provided) read the first couple pages & then proceed to PDF page #17. Read & review the instructions once in a relationship, print out the instructions if necessary, collect tools (flat head screwdriver & anti-static bracelet), then just follow instructions & take your time paying attention to the illustrations. It is frankly less work & easier than typing all of this out.

  Either way, you can easily connect to your computer must use one of these: existingUSB-adapters IDE that allows you to directly access a device of ATA/ATAPI IDE interface. Everything is a matter of preference and what you are comfortable doing.  To find these items I already mentioned, just google 'em and either find a computer store nearby and investigate with them or order from a decent distributor in your country for the best prices. Overall, there are many more options that I've listed here, but they are all relatively will do the same thing; that is the type of player, you must convert a USB cord. Hope this helps! Good luck!! -tmt-

• Can I use my old hard drive?

  I bought a new Dell Inspiron 530 last October. To cut a long story short Dell made a mistake with the order and just sent me a replacement system. I had to return the old, but let me keep the hard drive. If I buy an enclsoure I'll be able to use this hard drive on my new Inspiron 530. I use Vista Premium the new hard drive is 250 GB as opposed to the former, which is 180 GB, but the operating system is exactly the same.

  Thank you

  
  

• No access to users on the old hard drive

  I have a weird problem, I can not access my /Desktop documents/photos/music on my old hard drive files and, basically, all that is in the / users.

  I tried to change the permission settings but I can't make it work and sometimes it says I don't have permission to change, it's so weird because I can access other things which is just placed on the hard drive and not on / users. I just upgraded my computer and put this hard drive but I run my operating system on an SSD instead, I tried to plug the old hard drive but it does not work it restarts just when it starts to load windows.
  It feels as if I have to hack my old hard drive in a way to make it possible to access.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  1. you receive an error message/code when you try to access the files on your old hard drive? If Yes, what is the full error message?

  2 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

  Do the methods and check if it helps.

  Initially, a virus using Microsoft Safety scanner scan and check if the problem persists.

  
  Method 1

  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.

   

  Method 2

  Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. Please click the below mentioned link.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Method 3

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

• How can I find my favorites on an old hard drive?

  I bought a new computer and installed Firefox. Firefox has also been installed on my old computer, and I have the old hard drive connected to my new computer as drive E. I would get my favorites copied from the old drive to my current profile on my new C drive, but I can't locate the old favorites. On the old computer, I think that I was using Vista, but I don't know which version of Firefox. Here's research that I tried (should be view hidden folders):

  JSON (a lot of results have been found, but for other programs only).
  places.SQLite (no result)
  bookmarkbackups (no result)
  mrv9503t.default (no results. It is apparently the name of the file in question on my NEW computer).
  .default (338 results?)
  %AppData%\Mozilla (no result)
  %AppData%\microsoft\windows\sendto (12 results, all related to Windows)
  E:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile > (no result)
  E:\Users\ < user > (no result)
  E:\Users (3 results, but none are named 'user')

  I thought about it. I didn't not < user > and < profile > refers to the names on my computer. Once occurred to me, I managed to restore from a backup by following the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them

• How can I get my favorites on an old hard drive and transfer them to another hard drive?

  the motherboard is dead on my old desktop - but the hard drive is still usable. I got a new office and a friend added the old hard drive from my old computer (which has all my favorite firefox somewhere) on my new computer. Now I have two hard drives on a computer - one that came with the new computer - and my old - so, I'm now able to move all my pictures and files, etc. - and even found the bookmarks of Internet Explorer - but, I can't seem to find bookmarks in firefox. I look under Program Files - and I have-see Mozilla Firefox but don't see the bookmarks. I have searched for it - tried the answers that the mozilla site says to do it - but I can't find them. can anyone help? Thank you

  Bookmarks are not stored in the Program Files folder, but rather in their own folder profile 'hidden '.

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/profiles-where-Firefox-stores-user-data

  To access your profile folder, while in Firefox, click the new menu button on the right side of the navigation bar, click Help, and then click troubleshooting information. In the Applications section base, click the Show folder. The window that opens will be your profile folder.

  Because you want your bookmarks, you should enter places.sqlite and then put them in the profile folder in your new hard drive with Firefox closed

  I have the old hard drive in a USB enclosure and connected to the computer again. I have installed firefox and you need to have the address book (critical) copied and inserted information from address book on the new computer. I hope that there is a file I can replace easily?

• Recovery of my favorites from an OLD hard drive to a new PC

  I took the old drive from the laptop and put it in a USB enclosure, so I now my whole OLD hard drive as drive E... .but no applications will run in fact of course.
  Then... I want to find my OLD profile on drive E (especially the bookmarks) and the copy and put it in my NEW installation of firefox on the C drive. The two computers were / are running Win7 64 bit if that helps.
  Thank you very much in advance for any help.

  If explore you the following folder, it should contain your profiles:

  drive:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  You may need to display the hidden files and folders: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7

Here you should find the individual .json files with dates in file names. The most recent copy to a more convenient location like your Documents folder. Then, you can use the steps in the following article to restore to your new installation of Firefox:

• replace the old hard drive with nine in Pavilion dv2019tu

  my laptop had toshiba 320 GB hard disk that does not work, then I want to install a new hard drive to it, will this model support 1 TB HDD?, and what is the maximum ram it can support?

  Please quick answer, I do not have any other pc to continue my work.

  Your Service Manual:

  Manual

  Max Mamory is 2 GB. I'm sorry.

  AMD model series versions has been reported to have difficulties even with hard drives of 500 GB. There has never been a logical explanation. Since it is SATA it must accept any drive SATA 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick. However, the reports were many and not lightly ignored. I can not find plug on the dv2019tu so if it has an Intel processor, I would say that you're good to go with a 1 TB SATA drive, as long as it is not thicker than 9.5 mm. Also pay attention to the connecting piece plastic on the old hard drive. It is necessary to connect the SATA ports on the drive to the motherboard. You have to use it again.

• HP 2000: How to retrieve the memory of the old hard drive?

  Hello. Recently, I replaced my old hard drive with another because that is a malfunction that made sure I got stuck in a loop start and nowhere else after auto repair. I was told that if I buy a hard drive enclosure that I might have a possibility to recover my old data to my new in copying and pasting on, several sources on the internet said this as well.

  So when I put my old hard drive in the enclosure and that connected to my laptop, it pulls up. But it gives me a folder named "Recovery". Inside is another folder named 'WindowsRE' with a few other components. In which is a file named "WinUCRD.wim". I've been looking around for what I can do with it. The only thing I can find is a program called Windows SIM, it does not matter where, and I don't know how to use it.

  My question is, how can I recover my data from my old data? I honestly don't mind if my new hard drive memory is overwritten. He barely anything on it as I just got. I have files important school in there I can not risk losing. I have to start all over again before final in a few weeks.

  

  The partition you are looking at is the recovery Partition.  This is for the recovery of your operating system, not the user tour data.  Looking at your screenshots I suggest you look at the F: drive, he can have the files you need.

  If the F: drive is corrupted migh you take a look at a data recovery program.  I had good success with Easus Data Recovery, it allowed me to recover files to a friend after a drive failure when no other program, that I tried would work.  Here, there is a free version that will recover up to 2 GB of data.
