Multibooting My old computer running XP recently died but I had a cloned image of the hard drive saved on an external drive. My new computer runs Vista Home Premium. I copied the cloned image of the old hard drive to a separate partition on the new hard drive but many of the old programs will not run in Vista. Is there a way to boot to XP on the copied hard drive to run the old programs?

Conact the manufacturer and see if it still under warranty. Most external Hard drives have a 3 year warranty so you should be able to swap it for a new one. If it is not under warranty then open up the external box plug the Hard drive into the PC via a SATA cable and run the diagnostic tool for that particular Hard drive. Some times you will get lucky and the diagnostic tool will fix any issues. But do not open up the external case if it still under warranty as this will void your warranty.

The hard disk inside that Spire case has died - running the free space clean from CCleaner (a very intensive procedure) has been the death blow to an already sick disk.. Nothing more can be done to save it and the data on it. Replace it with a new one.

no you can what you have to use is files and setting transfer wizard in windows xp you can start the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard by clicking Start on the computer running Windows XP, pointing to All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then clickingFiles and Settings Transfer Wizard. (If both computers are running XP, you can start with either one.)

just select "i want create wizard disk in following drive " and select you external disk drive tha will do the trick...

Are you using Windows? If you are using Windows, go to Start => Programs => Accessories => System Tools => Backup. In the backup wizard that opens, choose which backup type you want and you can choose your backup destination. Choose your Seagate Expansion external drive for your backup location so that Windows can store an image of your current system into your external drive.

you can this many different ways. The most straightforward is to go to the drive and select "folder and file options" in the view menu and selct "show hidden files", that way when you copy and paste you will get every single file. The other way is to use a program such as Acronis Tru Image and use the clone option. I am assuming that you want an image of your C:\ drive.

Because the HP and Fujitsu have different devices, you cannot clone (or create an image of) the hard disk and expect it to work on the other laptop.
Your best bet would be to copy your data files onto a USB memory stick or an external USB hard drive and plug it into the HP. You can open the files on the USB memory Stick/hard drive to work on them or copy them to the HP's hard drive to work on them.
When your Fujitsu has been repaired you can copy the latest files from the USB memory stick/hard drive back onto your Fujitsu.

You can and there is no need to install drivers, except the drive has any special features.

It is nearly impossible to boot from external hard drive.  The main reason it that typically the computer need to have the OS loaded in order to support the external HD on the usb system.  My recommendation would be to return the external, purchase and internal and have a professional migrate your drive to the new one.

2 choices for you. Get the external to run the game or 2. Add a larger hdd to the system as a slave drive leaving the smaller drive as the master. If you go the 2nd route just make sure you buy a compatible hdd. Hope this helps & please remember to rate my answer.
