    [SOLVED] Can I transfer files to a new system drive by putting it into another computer?

    I finally solved it by following a process called "Map Network Drive." Never could figure out how to share files otherwise. I really appreciate your help though.

    [SOLVED] Can I transfer files to a new system drive by putting it into another computer?

    I have never been able to set up a network transfer. I've been trying for hours now. It's always asking for a password, but I don't have any passwords set up on any of my computers. I've turned off the password option in network sharing options. I've tried private network and public. I've tried...

    [SOLVED] Can I transfer files to a new system drive by putting it into another computer?

    I'll try the network transfer. So how did "Fast Boot" affect this process? I'm wondering if I transfer the new SSD back to my desktop to erase those files even though they're completely invisible and apparently not taking any space when I see the same SSD from the laptop.

    VHD for Network Backup

    Thanks for your question. I do not need to backup any Windows or System files (I've done that already), just my own files, which are changed every day (documents pictures music etc.). I used to physically bring the backup drive and install it in my computer to copy the files, but I need a daily...

    VHD for Network Backup

    I want to backup all the files from my main PC on a hard drive in my secondary PC. They are both connected to the same network. I am using Win7 Home, so I have to use a Virtual Hard Disk to fool Windows into backing up to the network location. How do I set up a VHD for this use? Do I use the...

    Unique intermittent keyboard problem

    I was using the usb ports on the screen, because the computer is generally too far away to connect the kb and mouse directly. I figure something has gone wrong with the usb ports on the screen, so I have ordered a powered usb hub to see if that helps. Thanks for the advice, Hang the 9 (if...

    USB keyboard drivers are part of the Win7 OS, as I understand. What is a "clean installation" of drivers?

    Unique intermittent keyboard problem

    Hi, I tried that, thanks. Works just fine if I connected the keyboard directly to the computer. It's quite a well-built computer with a 3rd generation i3 processor. Only three years old. By the way, it's failing again. It took me about 5 minutes just to type these two lines...

    Unique intermittent keyboard problem

    Hi, I've not found any other thread on the internet that describes this same problem. I hope someone out there can help. :-) The keyboard does not work properly. The Num Lock button turns off intermittently every few seconds, as though there was a lack of power to the keyboard. While it is...
