My laptop died and I removed the hard drive.i hooked the hard drive up to my new laptop via a SATA/IDE cable.
I can see the old hard drive in the E drive and it appears that all the contents are there by the size of the hard drive (same as when I had it in the old laptop) but I can only see, actually view, a very small percentage of the drive.
My goal: I want to transfer all old music, word documents and photos from old laptop into new laptop.

I have recently experienced problems with my CD-ROM well its a DVD ROM. I was burning CD's fine. then it stopped or would only burn one or two things. I thought it might just need to be cleaned so I went and bought a cleaner. I tried it and now it won't do anything. I bought a brand new CD and it won't even read it at all. I can try others and it does.

The Guardian IT boffin has recommended this several times this year, and again today. Is it any good? I'm sure I've read on this site warnings that it is junk/virus-attracting, and that its 'free' scan only prompts you to buy corrective software.

My computer has slowed dramatically and I'm confident there is no virus or malware. The consensus of opinion that I've read points to the registry. Lots of writers seem to praise RegCleanr and funnily enough, I have a copy which I downloaded some time ago; vers 4.2.One writer, explaning how to use it, said, and this is a paste-in of that paragraph..No installation required ... just place it in your favorite folder, click on it to execute it, then click on the "Registry Cleanup" button on the bottom left-hand corner of the display/screen. There AIN'T any button anywhere at the bottom. If I hit tools I get registry cleanup with a lot of choices which I don't understand, Maybe he has a later edition? But can anyone who has this version, or who knows the sequence of what to do, or who has the instructions, post it up?

Though my computer has never been what you'd call fast,recently it seems to have slowed down a bit further. Nothing unbearable, just a few seconds of extra lag when opening a program or folder, but enough to catch my attention and prove bothersome.It also wasn't there when I built this computer about a year or so ago, so I feel it must be something I can fix.I run Spybot and Ad-aware fairly regularly, with no results, and also have McAfee to watch for viruses.At the moment I am considering trying a registry cleaner to see if it will help, though I thought it might be better to stop by here first and see if there's something else I haven't tried or thought of first.

I have just purchased Registry Mechanic, and am so far disappointed in it. I used to be somewhat technically inclined, back in the days of DOS I ran a computer lab, but I really haven't had time to keep up.
Still, I know more than most people... Anyway, I bought this proggy thinking it would give me a bit more
information than just going into regedit and poking around without a net. So far, it doesn't. I knew it would suggest changes that I would be able to accept/reject one at a time. But the information it gives
is pretty useless for making the decision. And it is not like there is a manual explaining what all this means. Also I am skeptical since it found 106 "problems" and this computer is less than a week old.
Does any kind soul care to comment on a few illustrative examples?
Example 1:
High Priority: Value is invalid - Set to Delete
Location: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTAudioCDshellPlayWithPowerDVDcommand
default = CProgram FilesCyberLinkPowerDVDPowerDVD.exe%1
OK, so this is "High Priority." Very dramatic. And the value is invalid, but the value of what? And the value is set to delete. Should I be wondering whether this value needs to be fixed rather than just deleted? I more or less understand "location"...this is where in the registry the invalid value can be found. But I don't understand "default." Is this the default setting of the invalid value? Is Reg Cleaner proposing to reset the value to the default? What if the system was intentionally configured differently from the default? Am I even asking the right questions? Example 2:
High Priority: Value is invalid - Set to Delete
Location:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{CC2C83A6-9BE4-11D0-98E7-00C04FC2CAF5]InprocServer32
SystemDB = C:WINDOWSsystem32system.mdw
Again, I get that it is high priority, a value is invalid and should be deleted. Again, not sure if it ought to be fixed rather than deleted. Again, understand location more or less. Not sure what "SystemDB =" is proposing to do. Really not sure what to make of this. Example 3:
High Priority: Value is invalid - Set to Delete
Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareCyberLinkPowerDVD
SrcDir = C:FalconDriversDVDPowerDVD 4.0 - Sony Bundle
In looking for examples I've just realized that the soultion in every case is "set to delete." What is SrcDir? What is this telling me?

I've noticed the my comptuer is getting extremely slow. DUring game sessions I used to leave firefox running, now if I leave firefox running the fps drops dramatically. I end task everything that isn't required for my system to run on but always had that. If I have more than 1 window open, it freezes and nothing works for about 1 - 10 minutes.

Regards to all, this is my first posting and I believe that you will be gentle to me. I am looking for a tool/software that can manage my system registry files. I know that I can get them online but I need to try them before I actually use them so that I can be sure of the results. I have read lot's of reviews and found out that currently, the best registry cleaner on the market is Digeus Registry Cleaner.

This is not so much a problem as a request for help and advice. I have had my system now for around a year and have uninstalled and re installed alot of games and programs. Ive noticed i have accumulated quite alot of files in various places which i probably dont need so i was wondering if theres a program or method out there to get rid of this rubbish. I am already using registry mechanic (latest version) and ccleaner but have noticed there are still bits left in the registry which dont look like there doing anything. Any help on cleaning out my pc and maybe making it run a bit faster by maybe disabling or removing parts.

XP Pro; 1Gb RAM, Pentium III/700. USB 2 On a separate thread I asked for help because I got a speed trouble in relation with chkdsk of my external 80 G disk (after what I restarted the PC interrupting the process). But now I want to tell that, absolutely sure, my system got slower after that "adventure": openings of columns, AGAIN the opening of the task bar with fugitive blue square windows instead of icons, trembling of desk icons at the start, clear longer time with the "blue welcome", etc. Before I had the "bright" obsessive idea to run a chkdsk, my PC was peforming more than very well. I am already convinced that a PC is a wonder, but with more than good-for-the-health nightmares, every other day.

Using internet and 1st time I've received the following pop up - "Registry Cleaner Recommended" with an exclamation mark in side a yellow triangle.It says:"Errors in your Windows registry database, if present, could cause erratic operation and other computer problems, including: Slow system performance, slow start up, freezes/system crashes.Details: to ensure system is operatingly correctly, strongly recommend you scan and clean your Windows registry database by running Registry Cleaner now"May sound silly but this is ad-ware right? Shouldn't Ad-Aware and Avast prevent pop ups like these? Or is there a program that i should download to prevent these?

About two weeks ago, I was going to buy "register Mechanic" cleaner and I believe a "John" answered my question with a good free register cleaner. Reg Scrub" which I used two times. The last time I also ran "Seek & Destore", and it took out the Reg. Scrub. Where can I go to again download it.
