Where and how can I reinstall the external hard drive to the new HD to the computer?

Original title: HD crashed.

I want to thank the person who answered my question about the HD crashed I saved all my data and window xp. My next question is, how and where can I reinstall external hard drive for the new HD to the computer? Should I send it to drive c or where? I'm not strong when it comes to computers. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Thank you.

Hello!

You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

    At the same time a long time ago there was a way to register for notifications by e-mail of new updates, I have not seen this for years.  Many products have an application that can be selected when the drivers are installed to check and install updates regularly.

    I prefer to manually verify updates, for your printer, you can get updates from HP here.  I see there was a relatively recent firmware update it.

  • How can I stop my external hard drives being renamed by Lightroom?

    Since early December, I had countless problems with LR and my external hard drives. I have 3 all Western Digital external hard drives, 2 x 320 GB passport and 1 x 1 TB elements. I called the hard disks of the computer named them when I first installed them (E & F). Since then the LR calls what he wants when I plug them so there are always question marks next to my photos as LR think I plugged a different hard drive.

    Although I don't have 1 x 1 TB hard drive WD Elements LR called something different if I unplug it and plug it in again then it starts and then trying to find all my pictures.

    My partner has no such problems as he never unplug his hard drives, but I need that sometimes I'm working on a laptop with the same LR catalog, if I work, so I take a drive with me with the images.

    I could do with:

    (a) a method of naming, my hard drives from WD for LR acknowledges that are connected

    (((b) a very simple digital workflow - I have many books of LR but need a genius LR say 1) cela 2) do this etc - I have about 30 000 pictures and even without the hard drive problems make me a bit stuck trying to be organized - I am a photographer not an administrator and I'm really bad on the organizational side.

    Help, please, I'm drowning in technology - ps I love Lightroom!

    So the question is probably WIndows XP. When you attach a remote drive, Windows XP can arbitrarily assign it to one of the drive letters D: through Z: assignments. A: and B: are reserved for floppy disk drives, and C: is usually indicated on the startup disk where Windows XP.

    The drive letters change generally when you plug external drives in different order. So if you have DriveA and DriveB, and you plug in DriveA then DriveB, then DriveA can get assigned D: and DriveB may be assigned E:. If, however, one branch in DriveB first then DriveA, the order will probably flip over in which case Lightroom lose track of all the photos he had previously in location D: and E:.

    The solution is to use the windows Disk Manager to force the assignment of drive letters. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844 for more details. Set mailbox that uses Lightroom.

    A problem you may encounter is if you connect a new drive, then attach your photo disks. I believe Windows will give you the new drive D; slot, since it is not used, but then randomly divided the photo viewer because it is defined location is not available. Windows is a manager of poor things, Apple is not.

    The solution is to always attach the disks in the same order, and Windows will affect the drive correctly, assume a has completed the tasks in article.

    Another approach is to use the Windows mount command. If you're brave, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/205524.

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    Help us understand what "I lost the ability to restore the system" actually mean for you...

    Are you unable to launch/open the system restore?
    Are you unable to create a new Restore Point manually?
    Your system restore calendar is empty dates?
    You preform a restore and get a message that has failed or nothing has changed?

    If the restore in safe mode will not do, keep reading:

    It would be useful to know a few things about your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    And now, whenever I'm in an ip address that I wonder if I want to download the file.

    This happens when the modem server does not send the file in text/html, but with a different MIME type.

    I tried adding index.html in the event that the server can send this file as text/html.
