you want to install more hard drive. How can I move all of the data, os, games, music, etc.
and have computer always starts.
Hello
You cannot move by themselves programs
you need to reinstall it from the original media
read this about moving everything, including the operating system
or save your data and reinstall clean vista
There are different ways to do
hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk
Search for information on this subject on their Web site
If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move
read the information below
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html
or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software
link below is an example of this:
http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html
also to put your machine how you bought:
1. that vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition
You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive
ask the manufacturer of the machine how
2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

DV7-3160us: hard drive problem or the operating system?
After the HP screen, I get a black screen that says: Boot Device not found please install an operating system on your hard drive. Hard drive-(3F0). But if I hit the f4 key it states: there is no hard drive.
If anyone out there can answer to this dilemma, I just need to make the recovery discs or replace the hard drive?
Thank you, had an independent check that the drive was dead. Can be fixed, but still old technology was so not worth.

I have the opportunity to buy a used one with no operating system.
Both are of type 7650 and all have two 80 GB hard drive.
Will it work if I just reverse this HARD drive with the operating system for the new portable computer?
Yes, it should work without major problems.
In the worst cases, you need to update to a couple of pilots.

Installation hard drive with Windows XP operating system in another computer
Why can't I remove the hard drive with Windows XP already active and install in another computer?
No, you need to reinstall the operating system. However, if XP and vista came with the computer as OEM software, it cannot be legally activated. The reason why it does not is the difference in hardware.

Adding a hard drive to a guest operating system
Delema:
I need to add a hard drive that is big enough in our machine esx which is formatted to NTFS and the accessible car from a guest operating system to Server 2 k 3. (working on a budget here) its 1.5 to and is full of about 80%.
Basically, I need to know whether or not its possible to add this drive without formatting and accessible by the guest operating system
I understand now - you will not be able to take out the drive and add it to your ESX Server and be able to access the store data NTFS and Yes using Converter requires a data store with the 1.5 TB or necessary for the new drive - virtual

Hello.
I'm having a problem loading and using my Adobe Photoshop CS3. This is the third time that I use this forum. I us a PC. The operating system is "Microsoft Windows 7 Home prem". I recently had to remove from my hard drive and reload the operating system with all the updates and load to the top of my existing software. All my software works except my Photoshop CS3, which I use most. I loaded the software disc and download online. The system of charge very well and activation is complete. Here are the main things that don't work properly, I have noticed so far. First of all, I can't open my camera RAW (I can with my Lightroom software, but not with my Photoshop software?). So I can't open any of my files of digital camera? Second, I can open a .jpeg file and use the Photoshop software and I can save the changes, but when I turn off my calculated the software doesn't seem to be on my computer. When I go to Windows ' search program and files "software is not located here. When I go to "Uninstall" the software of the foldername is there it is. "Photoshop CS3" but there isn't any size file to it IE 400 MB, while my software "Lightroom" on the 'uninstall' section will have a file for example size 400 MB tied to it. Thirdly, I also have a photosoftware of B + W, which operated in Photoshop; It's "NIK software - Silver Efex Pro" and it is located in the subtitle of 'filter' of Photoshop CS3. I use Silver Efex and all functions are working properly, but I can't save the file, it does not save the changes to save.
Please can you help me.
Thank you.

I have a macbook pro with only 128 GB of hard drive. I installed lightroom and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I keep my library on the external hard drive also lightroom?
Yes. Find LR catalog file in Edit/settings/general catalogue. Close LR and go to this place. The catalog file is one that ends by .lrcat - move it where you want. Beside the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move, but if you don't not LR will generate new insights. Double-click the .lrcat file in her new home and LR will open with this catalogue. Set preferences in more recent catalogue.
