It depends on the operating system and the software you have used. On a mac with "time machine," the instructions are simple: start the new machine with the backup disc connected. When the system asks whether you want to initialize the computer as a new machine or restore from a backup, just choose the second and select your backup.
But, if I may be so bold, why would you do that? You have the chance to set up a new machine. Why run the risk of carrying any legacy problems? I would set up the machine as a new computer and migrate over what you need piece by piece. You probably use fewer than 10 programs regularly. Move all the files you need and all the apps you need. Why move all the rest? You machine will work better.
Remove the USB module from the LaCie Write Card and plug it into a free USB port on your computer. Your computer should assign a new drive letter to the USB module (such as D: or higher letter). In Windows use Windows Explorer (on a Mac use File Manager) and you will be able to copy files from your LaCie USB module to your computer. https://www.lacie.com/download/datasheet/DS_WriteCard.pdf
Unless you have a specific utility installed that allows such actions you generally cannot reallocate, take away or add sectors in a partition without total data loss. Your best bet would be to back up your data and reassign what you need. Basically rebuilding the partition tables from scratch.
Hello,
your drive has failed at either the power supply level or internal hard drive level.
First, please verify your power supply. When plugged into the power outlet, it should be silent. A defective power supply will hiss or have a high pitch noise to it.
If it is defective, replace it and check if the issue is resolved.
If the power supply is silent, one or both of the internal hard drive is failing. If no data is needed, you can either replace the defective one which you will have to isolate by connecting the internal hard drives to a computer or with another enclosure and running a block scan software like hdTune which is free to download. The other option would be to scavenge the healthy drive and use it in another enclosure or inside the computer directly.
If you need the data and the problem was not the power supply, you will need to contact a data recovery center.
Regards,
Try hitting the reset button, on some raid arrays I have had the motherboard go to sleep mode and do the same thing so if you hit the reset button it should bring it back up. if not you will have to unplug and leave unplugged for 5 minutes before static power dies out then try rebooting. you may have to do a flash of the bios and have you done any updates of late?
Well you can ONLY transfer/Move DATA as Programs and Documents & Settings and User Directories, cannot be shifted at all. So It is only the Files and Data that can be Moved off a drive.
To gain space back, Right Click on the HDD, go to properties, in properties Under the general, tab the first window, select disk cleanup, remove everything in those boxes and after, that look under Tools tab, & do a disk defragment. This may get you space back. If not you may have to get a new bigger drive, and clone your old drive, then install the new drive and reinstall the Cloned image back onto the new drive?
You need to set your boot sequence in the BIOS so that it does not include external drives. Basically your computer is trying to load Windows from the external drive instead of its own internal one.
Your motherboard manual is going to help, if you can't manage it by yourself give me a link to your manual or tell me the model of your motherboard and i will show you what you need to change.
No do not throw it away buy another enclosure for it and take the driveout and put it into another enclosure you will have better results and a longer lasting drive and you be glad you did!
