• What is the best way to transfer the file to a new larger internal drive?

  I am running win 7 ultimate.  I had two hard drives of 500 GB.  C is partitioned to 120 GB (not enough) I just installed a 1.5 terabyte drive.  What is the best way to transfer my data? I would keep the 500 GB (now C: and D :) and add the 1.5 to, I also have a 2 external to that I tried to move my libraries at, but I'm confused my system.)  I don't know much about indexing or mapping.

  \

  Consider transferring all the files that are currently in the second partition of 500 GB drive that is hosting the C: drive (you have referred to as D :) on the new drive.

  Once you have done this, you can then delete the D: partition since this 1 hard drive. This would then extend the C: drive to actually use all the 500 GB drive. Finally change the drive letter for the 1.5 terabyte disk d: it in disk management ( Diskmgmt.mscRun)

  So in the end you have a 500 GB C drive and a 1.5 TB drive D.

  When it comes to move libraries Windows has a utility to do it for you. If you click on your username at the top right of the menu start all your user profile directories are displayed. If you right-click on each one and select Properties, those that support this feature will have a tab 'location '. In this tab, it displays the current location of the file, but has a button "move". You move the folder and all its files and subfolders in a new location and update the references, the system uses for this folder.

  So if you created a folder on the D drive say 'Juli-year' and you right-click on Favorites, some properties, then on location you can move this summary folder in C:\Users\username\Favourites to D:\Juli-An\Favourites. Not all folders in the user profile supports this but all the c library files and a few others.

  Of course if you did as I suggested and ended with a 500 GB C drive you may need.

  What is the best way to transfer pictures from an old computer to a flash drive or a drive back then to a new computer?

  The easiest and most reliable I've found is to make the direct drag-and-drop method.

  (1) on the old computer, open your Windows Explorer and go to your photos.

  (2) open another Windows Explorer window and access your 'Computer' folder and in your flash drive

  (3) drag the photos to the flash drive.

  (4) take the flash drive on the new computer and drag them into your images folder

  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.

  If the problem persists, post your reply with results and questions above. We are happy to help you further in the advanced troubleshooting steps!

  It will be useful.

• What is the best way to transfer a hard drive of a computer with a motherboard dead to a new system?

  Moving an Installation of Vista

  Hi guys (and girls).

  I'm looking for the best way to transfer my computer drive "workaholic" into another machine... it's a Vista Home Premium x 86 OEM installation, but the motherboard has serious problems, so I'll pulling the reader (and its programs of many irreplaceable and owners) and transfer it into another machine. Yes, I know what are the rules regarding OEM licenses and I don't mean to skirt the rules, as I have a full VHPx86 commercial license collecting dust on the shelf that I was going to use, while I was looking for advice on the transfer:

  Should I go through the process of installation/installation (and following key change) on the original machine and transfer, then the drive in the new machine?

  Or can I move the disk to the new machine as that is, struggle with the driver updates and enter the new key when I reactivate the license?

  Thanks for any advice,

  JAM

  I suggest to install the copy retail hard disk once it's in the new computer.  It is more complicated than simply changing the product key.  You can probably use an upgrade of the repair on-site and avoid having to reinstall your programs and data.  However, you should make a backup of the image first, just in case something goes wrong.  The other option is a clean installation of the new OS and Windows Easy Transfer to move your files and settings.  It would need to reinstall your programs.  Personally, I recommend the latter.  If you go this route there are external to the file migwiz drive since you will be formatting the drive.

• What is the best way to use files recovery

  I work in FM 11 and broke FM a few times. What is the best way to use the recovery files and save them as normal files? So should I filter a window of the Explorer to "recovery" so FM don't ask me if I want to use the older recovery files? Thanks for your help.

  > What is a wash of the MIF?

  1. Save all the files of FM component .mif as MIF format.
     Save the .book as. book.MIF in the MIF format.
  2. Output FM.
     Restart FM.
  3. Open .mifs. Save as FM, replacing the old (FM probably saved files).
  4. Open the. book.MIF, re - register under .book.
     Note: do not open the. first book.MIF and then try to open the component files, or open the files binary pre - MIF.

  FM11 and 12 can have a free add-on as much as the fact in a single operation.

  Washing MIF creates new .book files and FM have syntactically correct data structures (and that may have lack of bad content). They are less likely to crash, but can still have problems.

• Just bought a new Apple computer. What is the best way to transfer the CS6 and Lightroom

  Just bought a new Apple computer. What is the best way to transer CS6 and Lightroom? Both applications have been updated. Should I reinstall it on the Adobe site?

  first of all, if you're going to retire this old computer or, at least, no longer use your adobe on this old computer programs, open and click Help > deactivate.

  then install your files to your new computer and activate.  If you already have an installation cd, you don't need to download.  If you don't have the installation files, download the trial and activate it with your order number.
