I have a folder called PICS with a bunch of sub-folders
[code]...
If I copy the PICS folder over to the USB drive and keep the same directory structure, is there an easy way to update all of the shortcuts so the files can be accessed when the drive is plugged into another computer?
How can I move programs and files from my ssd boot drive to my data drive (Windows 7 x64 PC)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn XP, I would put shortcuts to my different hard drives and folders on the taskbar for quick access. Seems like Windows 7 task bar doesn't let me do this and only allows me to put program files only (yes task bar is unlocked).
is there a way to add hard drive and folder short cuts?
Not sure when or why it happens but about 5 shortcuts I have on the desktop to mapped drivesfolders will disappear. Everything else is fine. X64 7264.
Any ideas?
When I start Windows, Explorer always starts on it's own. The view downloads box pops up, showing this:
[URL] And asks me whether to open it or save it.
Now all of the icons on my desktop and the start menu are Explorer shortcuts although they are completely different programs.
I have used many cloning software.
- Macrium Reflect
- EaseUS Disk Copy & Todo Backup
- RoboCopy
- Paragon Backup & Recovery
I'd like to move Windows from one drive to another without backing up THEN restoring. This is an extra step that I consider unnecessary.RoboCopy ALMOST did it correctly. But it corrupted the Outlook Registry. Microsoft recommended to uninstall and re-install Office.
have an old 250GB HD with XP PRO on it and ALL my programs.
I have a NEW PC with win 7 PRO, now I want to ad the XP drive to the win7 box and boot ether from XP or Win7 from the boot screen (select ether XP OR Win7). I have google for hours all I was able to find was information on ONE Drive and then portion it and reinstall an OS.
I do not want to portion anything or reinstall any OS I just would like to DUEL BOOT. Both HD are Sata Drives. I do not have Win7 CD as it is in on the recovery portion. I would like to know what files are needed and were to put them (what Drive) in order to duel boot.
how to move windows 7 to d drive It is in c drive right now
View 2 Replies View RelatedI followed the illustration in a previous posting for this subject, provided by Mike, and 'moved' my folders to D:. am confused to see that they are now in 2 locations - ie still on the C:. When I go to C: prompt and call up DIR for D: it tells me there are no files there, although I can see them in Explorer.Can I just delete the folders on the C: or am I going to cause a problem doing this (hidden system files within the folders???). Should I only delete the actual files?

I have a hard drive with Windows 7 and lots of data on it (it's my current computer). I'm upgrading to a different motherboard and would like to know what I should do software/driver wise to prepare for the HDD transfer... Should I uninstall all the drivers so Windows 7 can detect all the new hardware from the new motherboard?
View 5 Replies View RelatedJust wondering what or if I could move an xp backup onto a raid 0 drive. I did setup the drives in raid in the bios, and they show as raid. I booted into my marcium backup and ran my xp backup onto the drive, that showed in marcium as a raid 0 drive. When I booted, which went fine, into xp it shows in disk management as raid 0. But the problem is, it shows two drives, together and the 2nd drive as being un partitioned. Therefore I'm only running on one drive. Is this fixable, or do I need a clean install?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Win 7 on a partition on the same drive as XP.
1 - XP was on C: Win 7 installed to F:
2 - I have removed XP from C:.
3 - Repaired Win 7. Win 7 boots fine.
Now I want to move Win 7 to the beginning of the drive but unsure how - as Acronis doesn't allow me to clone to the same drive - even though its another partition.
Is there any way round this?
I recently formatted an sas raid array and it's now empty, I'd like to move some installed programs on a different ide drive to the raid array hoping to speed things up just a little. How can programs and folders/files be moved to a different location and have all the registry information changed so it's all correct within Windows?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the following system setup: 2TB drive divided into three partitions: C: 50GB - Windows 7 installation E: 1000GB - Applications (in a folder called 'Apps') and videos F: 950GB - Music and games
I bought a 120GB SSD and installed it yesterday, and the SSD is partitioned into one 30GB partition, and one 80GB ish partition
I migrated my Windows 7 installation from the hard drive onto the SSD using AOMEI Partition Assistant, which worked perfectly, and very quickly. I then told the BIOS to boot from the SSD, and it works fine.
I now want to move my applications (over 50) onto the SSD. Is it possible to copy the 'Apps' folder over to the second partition of my SSD, and get them to work somehow, or will I have to uninstall and reinstall all of them? (Which I'm not looking forward to, if so!)
I was just recently moving some of my files from My C drive to E. It was all going smoothly as I had done it before but, this time instead of copy and pasting I dragged and dropped the files over. I was doing this to cut down space on my C drive, to my surprise though I saw it was increasing (drive C) by every file I had put on E. I would like to know if I had done something wrong or what happened I started at 148GBs stored and it increased to 156GBs. If it helps I was moving games from my x86 program files.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got a new laptop pc with windows 7 home premium 64 bit. I'm making the jump from Windows XP to 7.I know I have to make a recovery cd. Should I do it before or after I remove a lot of unwanted bloatware that came with the new PC? How can I tell if I have service pack 1 installed? If not, where can I go to download it? Or should I? The new laptop is a HP brand desktop replacement with a 17.3 screen. My old one has a 15.4. I'm having trouble adjusting to the wider screen. Also having problems adjusting it to where I can read text clearly. I tried the true-text settings, and the dpi but the text still looks too small and fuzzy.What happened to the Move, Copy, Delete menu that appears on the left hand side in Windows XP when you highlight a file or folder? How do you move files/folders from the PC to say a flashdrive or vice versa?

Because of all the bloatware put on it by the mfg and since I have a spare hard drive I wish to do a clean install of Windows.

how do i move my backup files from my external hard drive called a network to my pc
View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically I bought an SSD to put Windows 7 on along with some of my most used applications. However, I want to some how put my users folder and program files folder onto my 500GB HD. Ive tried multiple times to mess with the registry settings but it doesnt seem to work..? Ive also tried an application but that just meant when I restarted my PC it diddnt recognise my user account meaning I couldnt log in at all forcing me to reinstall again. I basically want only OS & a coupel of aps on SSD while having my desktop/users/prorgam files on my 500gb.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell M1330 with Vista x64 installed (no bitlocker) on the 320 GB internal hard drive.
I have a 1 TB external USB Hard Drive.
I have Windows 7 x64 Ultimate that I would like to do a clean install of, on my 320 GB hard drive. I would like Windows 7 to be the only OS on that entire 320 GB internal hard drive.
I would like it to have bitlocker installed with Windows 7.
So long story short what I would like to have is this sort of setup:
Internal 320 GB Hard Drive: Windows 7 w/Bitlocker
External 1 TB USB Hard Drive: My current vista x64 (does not have bitlocker) with all files, programs, etc, running smoothly
Be able to dual boot between the two.
In other words, I would like to take my current Vista OS, with all my files/folders/programs (basically just as is), move it to my external hard drive and be able to boot from it whenever I please.
Can you tell me how this would be possible? Sorry for the long winded question, but I would really appreciate any help that you could provide.
PS I realize I can just set my BIOS to boot via USB, and therefore can just use my Acronis to clone my current HD to my external hard drive buttt sadly I already have some data on my external HD that I can't afford to lose and can't move because it's too large and I don't have a place to put it all.
Some of my external drive find on the PC... Windows 7 and other external drives don't.. Those shows up in the printer and devices..

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to come up with a way to provide a full backup computer to my customers (offline, process control application). Currently doing this with WinXP and a hot-swap RAID-1 enclosure. If anything in computer1 dies, can quickly move the cables and the drive over to computer2, boot up and keep running. Now moving to Windows 7, more strict activation issues. Getting a separate windows license for each computer is not a problem, but how to either change the license key easily after the swap, or avoid activation altogether? Typical system is offline, possibly abroad and would like to make the failover as easy as possibly for customers.
