• Image portable HARD drive for transfer to the new computer portable HARD drive on the same laptop

  Location:

  Laptop was to receive the new HARD drive more big;

  Configuration is complex and has a lot of data and SW engineering.

  Own re - install would take too long.

  In operating systems earlier I just created an image, installed the new HARD disk and restored the image.

  In Vista, it does not. New HARD drive with image does not start. (Partition is correctly selected as active)

  Tried other methods, including Robocopy but without success.

  Sysprep is the right solution? If so, how will this affect users profiles and installed applications?

  Thank you

  Hi Paraxis,

  Whenever we use the system image and restore from it, the hardware must be same, as has already been made to backup. The hard disk partition should also be in the same size.

  You can use Sysprep on your computer and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  Preparation system (Sysprep) tool is a technology that you can use with other deployment tools to install Windows on new hardware, operating systems. The Sysprep tool prepares a computer for imaging of disc or delivery to a customer of the configuration of the computer to create a new computer security identifier (SID) when the computer is restarted. In addition, the Sysprep tool cleans up user-specific and settings specific to the computer and the data that should not be copied to a destination computer.

  Access the links below for more information on Sysprep.

• Windows 7 computer portable HARD drive connected to a professional XP S3

  Windows 7 computer portable HARD drive connected via USB to a desktop XP Professional SP3 PC.

  PC shows the folders, I have access to the folder of Photos, but cannot access the Documents folder where files I need. I tried to share the folder, but it does not work.

  Any suggestions please?

  Probably, this can be corrected by taking possession of these files / directories.  Once you do this, however, you will find probably your permissions in disarray try to re - install the drive in your computer to Windows 7...

• PC crashed - installation on the new PC or HARD drive

  My PC with one of my installed CC Suite licenses seems to be dead. I am assessing whether I need a new PC or a new HARD drive is internal.

  I have an installation on a Mac (that I want to keep), but I was wondering if I can just download "installing PC" on the new PC or HARD drive and allow with my CC Identifiez_ you?

  Will I need to "deauthorise' previous installation?

  I can not access the software CC deauthorise it manually from the dead PC and wonder if I try to reinstall on a new machine, if the system will say just that I'm over my limit of license because I have not already deauthorised installation?

  Thank you very much

  Yes. You can activate the application Adobe CC on 2 machines.

• New computer, old hard drive. Activation?

  I got an old compaq presario 5140 or something and it came with vista on a hard drive of preset. I recently built a new computer with parts and essentially have a new computer. I decided since my old hard drive worked well and was compatible SATA, I want to just install it in the new computer, too.  Now, windows tells me to restart my activation key is not valid, and I need to get a new (I him I had preinstalled about 7 years I have therefore had no idea here), buy a new key or visit support.
  So I ask here what I have to do. I need my computer today for a job if I got quick responses would be greatly appreciated!

  You cannot transfer a preinstalled license.

  OEM and retail licenses:

  If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  See you soon.

• Satellite 2410 won't see the new 250 GB hard drive

  I am trying to upgrade the Toshiba 30 GB hard drive that came with the unit to a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250 GB EIDE drive.
  I get out the swap the 30 GB to 250 GB put in a bootable XP SP3 CD version and nothing - no sign that power came to training.
  The CDROM is trying to write files on the hard disk, but nothing happens.

  Same thing happens when I try to use the pack of 3 CD of Toshiba or the Norton Ghost recovery CD.
  The computer does not see the drive. Put the old 30 GB drive and it starts right now.

  My BIOS settings show set up for EIDE and boot from the CDROM. What I'm missing?

  Hello

  It seems that the BIOS does not recognize the new HARD drive, I suppose that it s too big
  Satellite 2410 series is old and I guess that it will not support larger 120 GB HARD drive because of the 28-bit LBA s

  So try with the smallest HARD drive like 80 or 100 GB.

• How to use Ready Boost, and what are the requirements for the use of portable hard drives and flash drives for use with Ready Boost?

  I have Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Edition and try to get Ready Boost to work on my PC using portable hard drives or flash drives. I have 2 portable hard drives (iomega 120gig, Seagate 250gig) and a 8gig sandisk cruzer flash drive. All this deterioration when you try to use the ready boost said that these discs only are not compatible or not supported. So what do I need?

  Not all readers will work with ReadyBoost. There are some readers who actually will specify that they are capable of ReadyBoost.

  By WikiPedia:

  • The device should have an access time of 1ms or less.
  • The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s for 4 KB random read speeds indicates the spread uniformly across the entire device and 1.75 MB/s write for 512 speed random writes spread uniformly across the device.

  You must also put the device and let it plugged in for ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost is therefore best suited for a small thumbdrive (up to 4 GB) that greater thumbdrive or external HD that you would probably be disconnect from time to time.

  Open solutions Explorer window, find your Cruzer - right-click on it and click Properties. If there is a ReadyBoost tab, you can set up - set it to dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. It will be implemented and save a file on the USB key. Click Apply and're you good to go.

  A caveat which I can testify first-hand. Apparently while booting, Win 7 has trouble with some USB key - it will search the thumbdrive, the operating system, the process of starting to stall and you say: ' Missing Operating System ' - Fortunately the solution is very easy. Shut down the computer, remove the USB key, restart the computer and it will start normally. I had this happen with a 8 GB Cruzer. This seems to be a random thing, because I had the Cruzer plugged in and booted several times without encountering the error of missing operating system message. No idea why or why it is injury. Currently, I use a Kodak USB 2 gig key that seems to work very well.

• buy the new computer with windows 8 - How to turn off and add Windows Vista

  My new computer came loaded with Windows 8.  (no previous program it)  I HATE Windows 8.  Can I get Windows Vista from my laptop and move it to this computer?

  Hello

  If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop (HP, Acer, etc.) it is an OEM license and is linked to your laptop and is not transferable.

  If you have purchased a retail License vista yourself you can transfer as long as uninstall you Vista on your laptop.

  If you do not have a license make detail view you that your new computer manufacturer supply Vista drivers for this otherwise that you're wasting your time trying to boot Vista on it.

  See you soon.

• How can I reinstall Vista (free) after the failure of my hard drive?

  My hard drive needs a total deletion.  After a reformat can I reinstalled my Vista Ultimate without having to buy a new copy?  (I have the same question about Office 2007, streets and trips 2009).

  Thank you.

  Most laptops and many OEM desktop computers (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

  These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $25-50.

  If your office and streets & trips are preinstalled, you would contact the computer mftr. for the installation of replacement media. Otherwise reinstall them using a CD that you have.

• computer portable HARD drive

  My motherboard the HP G56-130SA died on me and I want to take out the HARD drive and install in my office to copy files on. Can anyone put me in the right direction in order to get an adapter (the United Kingdom) which will connect the cable of the HARD disk on my desktop SATA? Preference in-House then I can reuse as a spare drive!

  Have the same problem with the slimline DVD drive. I got a lead for the SATA but not the power cable.

  The DVD player has a different connector. 'S called it miniSATA.

  computer laptop optical mini-SATA to SATA Adapter regular

  However, a (SATA) hard drive of the laptop connects to the same connectors SATA Office. Same data and power cables. If your portable player seems different, it is just in a basket that had to be removed to expose the naked reader or has a connector on to attach to the motherboard for the laptop. I assure you that there is a regular SATA drive. Just open the side of the desktop and connect a SATA cable data and power on the drive from the laptop and the other end to the mother/power supply card and the reader will register and you can copy files over, it pick up when you're done.

  Many jobs now have a support to mount a 2.5 drive inches (mainly for the SSD) but if yours doesn't, you can get a 2.5 inches for support adapter 3.5 inches like that and permanently mount the drive of the laptop in the office.

• Windows 7 does not recognize the new WD external hard drive added to the usb port

  Recently, I tried to add my third USB WD hard drive to my computer.  It's a My Book Essential.  The meter turns and the virtual cd drive is listed in WD, but the hard drive itself does not appear on the list of devices with a drive letter.  My my first two books are readers: J:, and L: I have no "new device found" message   I search for new devices and it the PC do not find anything.  If I click on the virtual CD drive (M :) it askes if I want the computer to allow WD to make changes...) I say Yes and the screen flashes and nothing happens.
  The drive be defective?  Any other ideas?

  Hello

  Have you tried to connect the external hard drive on another USB port?

  Try to connect the WD external hard drive on another computer.

  Follow these steps:

  Method 1: You can run the troubleshooter in the following article and see if this fits the Bill.

  Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

  Also, run the Fixit.
  Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us

  Method 2: Check if the external hard drive is recognized in disk management and assign a drive letter to the same.

  To open disk management, follow these steps:

  a. click Start, type disk management in the start search box and press enter.

  (b) if the drive is detected in disk management, I suggest you to assign a drive letter and see if that does the trick.

• Portege M400 unable to find the new 320 GB HARD drive

  Hello

  I'm moving my 80 GB HARD drive to a new WD 320 and research questions. Although I've updated the Bios with the latest version of the disk hard is not down to any operating system when it is in the main HARD drive Bay. The weird thing is completely visible in the removable Bay. Is this a configuration issue, I am missing or is the machine not reconise the 320 GB drive because that is the essential motivation?

  Any help or pointers would be great

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy

  In my opinion, your new HARD drive cannot be recognized because of the size of the HARD drive.
  The 320 are simply too. I think that the laptop would be able to use a 100 GB or 120 GB of HARD drive but the 320GB are not supported.

  So change your disk of 320 GB to a smaller size and try again.

  Good luck

• 3110CT: BIOS recognizes the new 20 GB HARD drive

  Just installed a P002608, in a protected 3110CT 20 GB hard drive, now, the BIOS will not recogize the new hard drive.

  Hello

  I think that you will not be able to use this 20 GB HARD drive on this good old classic.
  It seems there is a BIOS limitation and this big HDD will usually not recognized by the BIOS.

  Remember that the Portege 3110 (P311E) has been delivered with a 6 GB HARD drive!
  There is a huge difference between the 20 GB and 6 GB of HARD drive!

  In my opinion you should try other drives that support a smaller size
