• Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, files using the second internal hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer.

  I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives.  A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition.  (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.)  If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system?  Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure?  The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?

  Thank you.

  You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.

• Why Windows backup all files to predefined backup weekly? How can I get to only add additions and changes to the backup files?

  I back up my files to an external hard drive.  Rather than simply add changes or additions, it adds all the files each time, causing the hard drive fills up quickly.  This problem was not always present; It began less than a year ago, so I wonder if it was caused by an update.

  Hello

• Windows XP cannot be installed on Satellite A30 after replacing the hard drive

  Hello
  you have a problem with my satellite A30 - hard drive has been corrupted (due to accumulation of dust on the cpu!) and I replaced it with a 100 GB hard drive.
  Tried the 'recovery cds', but get an error message 'error #1537 file greater than 4 billion number' and recovery has been abandoned halfway after inserting the third cd. The XP Home operating system does not install completely. Any suggestions?
  Thank you very much for your help, has soon

  Hello

  already tried the recovery process more then once? If so, the error appears at the place of installation? You said that you have installed a new hard drive but actually you have formatted the hard drive before you perform a full restore? That would be really helpful, sometimes recovery is suspended because the disk formatted or partitioned before luckily.

  You should really try. One way would be to use the "UBCD4Win' which is a Windows Live CD with really good tools. Format your hard drive with this CD and retry the recovery. Maybe it works...

  Here´s the link to the CD "UBCD4WIn": www.ubcd4win.com ".

  Bye and good luck

• How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

  How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

  How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

• Windows XP system restore Boot Failure with new hard drive

  HP Touchsmart IQ546t running Windows XP Home Edition

  Here is my story:

  A few months ago my PC was informing me that a hard disk failure is imminent and how can I back up my data.

  I was able to get most of the data backed up and has continued to use the PC.

  Finally, the hard drive failed.

  Not being not able to find system restore disks, I ordered a set of HP.

  In the meantime, I was able to save the rest of my data using an external hard drive enclosure, a laptop and a backup disk.

  I used system restore discs to erase the hard drive and restore the operating system.

  After the successful restoration, I was able to boot my PC and use it for a few days, but again became imminent hard disk failure message. Yet once again, the hard drive failed and I was unable to use it.

  I decided to replace the hard drive, thinking I could install and use the system restore disks to get the installed operating system.

  I followed all the instructions, I find and could not start the machine to the point he will recognize the recovery disc. I receive a message that tells me to insert a bootable media.

  Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

  Is there something I can try to get the hard drive to boot to the point he will recognize the recovery disk?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  Hello

  OPS, sorry on this subject.  If the recovery discs are not recognized not so you act have a problem trying to get the new HDD to be restored.

  Try the procedure below and see what happens.  View your results.

  Cyberlink CD recovery for hard drives. When you created this CD, insert it into the system that fails to start, restart, and wait until you see a window with a green check mark.  Next, remove the CD and insert your first recovery DVDs.  Reboot the PC and go through the process of installing the operating system again.  If all goes well, it should install properly this time.

  Two points:

  1. If you want to delete some installed programs, do not make
  deletion of the folder they are in. That doesn't remove them only partially and
  can cause problems. Remove programs by in control
  Configuration/program Panel and features.

  2. a drive of 74 GB is a tiny disk these days. There are a number of
  things you can do to save space, but they are all basically
  temporary and you will soon find yourself in the same situation.
  The only real solution is to buy and install a larger capacity drive.
  Fortunately, they are very cheap these days; You can buy a 500GB
  drive for about US $65.

• Windows 7 does not see added internal hard drive

  I installed an internal hard drive 1 TB on a Windows 7 using SATA system.  Device Manager sees the drive, but Windows does not.  So I can't access the drive. How can I get Windows to use this hard disk (disk 1) to be the image of the disk system 0?

  Thank you

  Probably should have Setup no matter what RAID before installation.  Thinking that can be a destructive thing.  Not that I'm a great believer in RAID1 arrays (mirror) - I'm not.  I'd rather have real backups - external backups.

  Usually a RAID1 will help only if the first hard drive die an immediate death.  None of the defective areas, no viruses, no random deletion of files.  Why?  Because a HARDWARE RAID1 is an instant copy of everything that happens on the first hard drive.  If you clear hundreds of files - they are on both.  A virus corrupts the things - the other disc is in place.  Form data and scramble of bad sectors - well, look!

  I have a storage attached network device I backup on an eSATA hanging from it it stores up to another network and storage I do more selective backups to as a backup for my saved backups.  Internal - nothing.  Well, I guess that the restoration of the system and version control integrated with Windows 7...

• Which folder or file not hibernation process store open files or programs on the hard drive?

  Which folder or file not hibernation process store open files or programs on the hard drive?

  Hello

  The Hiberfil.sys hidden system file is located in the folder root of the drive where the operating system is installed. The Windows Kernel Power Manager reserves this file when you install Windows. The size of this file is approximately equal to the amount of memory (RAM) is installed on the computer.

• How can I move (not simply copy) folders/files to an internal hard drive to another hard drive internal?

  I just finished the construction of a new office with 2 internal hard drives: a Crucial SSD of 128 MB and a 1 TB Samsung HDD. I loaded my programs commonly used on the SSD more fast and Windows 7 (64-bit) and to use a lot more big HARD drive to store data and programs less commonly used. I transferred all my data in my old desktop using Windows Easy Transfer, but it would only allow me to transfer data to my system drive / C: (SSD) boot. So now, I want to move my data files on my D: drive. Windows will allow me to move the folders and files on an external drive, but apparently only will allow me to copy on the D: drive. Which means I have to delete all the files copied from the C: drive to D:. This certainly isn't a huge problem, but I wonder if there is a way to just move all the files, rather than copy/delete. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

  Why don't you just cut & paste?

  Open Windows Explorer, select the files you want.  If you want to select all files in a given folder, press Ctrl + A (this will select all THE files & folders).

  Press the ALT on your keyboard and you will see the Edit menu (see the screenshot below).

  

  Select "cut".

  Now, go to your destination folder and press the ALT key again.  Click on the Edit menu.

  Select "Paste".

• Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

  I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

  Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

  If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

  You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

  New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

  • \USERS\\Desktop\
  • \USERS\\Downloads\
  • \USERS\\Favorites\
  • \USERS\\Documents\
  • \USERS\\Music\
  • \USERS\\Pictures\
  • \USERS\\Videos\

  ... etc...

  Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.
