Installed a ssd in my mini. How to start up from the original HDD?

I guess I need to buy a dock to connect the original HDD via usb to my mini.
I have windows installed on my HDD with a software I rarely need. It is not available for mac and I do not want to install windows on my SSD.
If I connect my HDD via USB to the mini can I chose on which disk to start up and how?
regards
Lombokmini

Good choice or another one is here:

How can start service from the spfile, on Windows 2003,

On Windows 2003, how can start service from the spfile?
connect to the database as sysdba and startup will start from the spfile.
Once I use wondows Service for shutting down and startup datbase it start from the pfile.
Which defeat my ability to change parameters at the system level.

Hi,
I'm not sure, but maybe your windows Instance service was created with
C:\> oradim -new -sid <SID> -startmode m -pfile C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\pfile\init.ora
then, you need edit this service with command like below:
C:\> oradim -EDIT -SID <SID> -spfile C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\spfile<SID>.ora
Take a look on this link before make any changes:

How to Start Skype from the background from command line?

Hello.
My window manager is Evilwm and I am running Skype. If I close the Skype window (the one w/ my buddies listed) the window closes but Skype is still running in memory. On another window manager like Openbox a small Skype icon sits in the taskbar as long as it is running. If I want to start Skype to see who is online I simply click the icon in the taskbar.
Now, the question is...How can I start skype from the command line while it is running in the background?
Evilwm doesn't have any taskbar or tray thingie...
Any ideas?
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
nedson :?:

Thats what I thought...
What I wanted to do was call Skype from memory. Under Evilwm I can close a window with ctrl-alt-x (using a hacked version of EvilWm) . After cloasing the window with this method, skype is still running in memory (I can see it when running ps aux). How can I call it out of memory? I don't want to stop the program, start it back up and re login. I just simply want to call it from the background...
Any ideas?

How do you NOT start up from the install disk if it is in the CD drive?

This has to be a dumb question, but . . . I put my 10.4 install disk into the CD drive of the Mini to try an experiment, installing OS X on a thumb drive as a backup. It didn't work. Now the Mini will only start up from the install disk, not the internal drive (which has 10.5.8 on it).
The advice I have seen in the forum says to hold down the D key upon startup and that will choose the internal drive as the startup disk. That didn't work. Also, there was a suggestion to hold down the option key upon startup, and then choose the internal drive from the startup manager. No luck there, either. I also tried holding down the eject button on the keyboard during startup, but it still started up from the install disk.
I feel like I am in a 1 Infinite Loop here. Any advice much appreciated.
Jim

Oops, I will now answer my own dumb question. I found another suggestion in the Powerbook forum that said to hold down the mouse button as it boots up, and the disk should eject -- it worked! I hope this will help somebody else. Sorry about the previous post.

How do I re-install Adobe Photohop Elements 8 from the original diskette?

How do I re-install Adoboe Photoshop Elements 8 from the original diskette. All the diskette wants to do is to uninstall the program. [If I did this would I lose all my photos?]
Thanks in advance for your help.

no, you won't lose your photos. but you might want to prepare your catalog for migration, http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
and if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.h tml
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Going to install ...
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S37A/240G 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
And it appears after searching/reading some other post that this May be the only way it can be done >

See above link for other links
"AFAIK, there's no official guide yet on how to move Win8.1 from the stock HDD to an SSD (upgrade) except by using a recovery disc or a recovery drive but for any given model, may it be a laptop or a desktop, your other choices are the following:
Option 1: ( I have Not yet decided on this )
Clone / migrate the OS from the HDD to the SSD
- this is ideal if you don't want to re-install all of the soft-wares
To do this, while booted on the stock HDD, you will need to connect the SSD to the machine (eg. using a 2.5" SATA enclosure) and use a data migration software to clone/migrate the HDD to the SSD. After the process is finished, remove the stock HDD and replace it with the SSD and all should be good.
Other guides:
- OS Migration (using Paragon Backup & Recovery Home)
- Disk Cloning (using Macrium Reflect)
Option 2: [ I will most likly to do this ]
Clean install the OS to the SSD
- this is ideal if you wanted to start fresh
To do this, you will need to:
1. Check this guide on how to obtain a Windows 8.1 ISO (see Option One) {{ Done > DL Win 8.1 burned ISO }}
2. Follow this guide to make a bootable UEFI Win8.1 installer via DVD/USB flashdrive and use it to install Windows (the installation should be able to detect the Windows 8.1 product key in the UEFI firmware that will let you activate Windows).
Is this still the BEST/Only way to move Win8.1 from the stock HDD to an SSD ??
I assume there is NO way to use OneKey Recovery or windows Recovery ( I have both on USB Flash Drives )
Thank You

Macrium Reflect, but it has been a while since I cloned a drive.

A 2008 Mac won't have originally shipped with Lion. You need to install 10.6.8 on the computer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion, click on the Purchases tab, and download it.

Mac OSX 10.6.8 running Photoshop CS5. My hard drive went belly up. Installed a new one and then tried to install Photoshop from my backup.

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

If you are using Photo Stream on your computer (Mac - logged into iCloud & Phtot Stream on / PC - installed iCloud Control Panel logged in and have Photo Stream turned on) then the photos you deleted should be safe and sound on your computer. Otherwise you may be out of luck.

How to internet browsing from the wifi.....not from my service provider.

Do not turn off the Data Services. Just turn off your mobile network connection in the Manage Connections screen.
Go to Options > Advanced > Browser and set your browser to Hotspot, and save. Now, use the browser with the Wifi connection for surfing the internet.

Reinstalling MacOS from the original install disks

I have a late 2009 Mac mini which I want to sell, so trying to install the original OS (Snow Leopard) from the original install disks. When loading the disk and either trying the option key or the C key the disk simply runs for 10 secs then ejects itself.
I've tried other disks in the drive with no problems.
Any ideas?
I've done this procedure several times over the years on other macs and had no problem, so fairly sure I'm doing it correctly!

Well it took 12 hours to free the space on the hard drive, but completed fine. But still I have the same problems, so borrowed a friend's superdrive, and, it worked, to a point! I know find running through the installation disc setup, when I get to the point where you select your hard drive to install to it the HD has a yellow triangle over it and it says you can't install to this drive!
I ran the repair function on the drive and it says all is OK.
Sorry about this but any further ideas? I'm on the verge of taking to a Apple repairer but would rather sort it myself it possible.
Thanks for your help
