Help!! Moving IT to new computer without disk

I have recently moved and can not find my IT disk to load the program into my new laptop!!  I have looked everywhere and can not find the disk!!  I have the book but no disk!!  I am starting a new account today and desperately need to transfer it to my new computer from my old one.  Is there one install file in all of these on there that will do the job or do I have to copy over all of these files?

Thanks!!

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I recently copied one of my IT glossaries to a different computer by this method using a CD ROM disk (a jump drive would also work):

from it's owner to transfer the voice files from the handheld to the computer. 

I have company issued computer with IT.  I would like to know if I could move IT to a CD or disk so that I can put it on my personal computer.  I have greatly expanded the glossary to cover my area of expertise over the last one year and do not want to lose this.  In fact, I think I would break down and cry if I did.  Plus, am thinking of taking on a PT job and would like to utilize this IT on my other computer.

Thank you.

For copyright protection, IT restricts itself from being able to be copied onto a disk and installed onto another computer. The only way to install it is to use the installation disk.

The glossaries, however, can be backed up onto a seperate disk, just not the actual program itself.

Technically, the hospital owns the license so installing it on a personal computer would violate the license agreement. If you would like to have it on your own computer, it is recommended to purchase your own copy so you don't have to worry about anything with the license agreement.

I tried posting this on the state boards but there is no activity there, so I am posting here.

Thinking about moving to Arizona next year.  Somewhere around the Goodyear, Surprise, Litchfield Park area.  Love Estrella Ranch but it is just a tad too pricey for what we want to spend.  Anybody from Arizona care to share if there are other communities similar to Estrella Ranch?  Where are the best schools for high school and middle school?  good, bad and ugly would be great. 

Thanks

am wondering how that works.  If you're in QA, do you ONLY do QA work?  Or do you also do transcription?

I ask because when I receive updates from my office, and it shows which MTs and which QA's are currently working, sometimes there are NO REPORTS in QA, and it makes me wonder if those folks just sit there until something comes along, or do they do something else in the meantime?

No one to ask this evening so thought I'd ask here.  Thanks!

I tried both suggestions, but neither moved the "file through help" portion back to the horizontal toolbar - still vertical on the left side of the page.

thank you for trying...

task bar and also the page that opens a new document and the print preview page.  There are probably more missing.  How do I get them back?

thx so much

I have a CD that I am supposed to transcribe.  It came to me in as a .cda format, and it won't play whatsoever.  Not on my laptop, not on my CD player, nothing.  I see online that there are ways to convert the cda to an mp3, but I'm not sure which are hoaxes/bogus and which are for real.

Does anyone know how to do a conversion of cda to mp3?  Please help.  Thanks so much

I bought a DS4000 digital recorder brand new on ebay last year. I just got a new account who is interested in going digital and when I opened it up the disk is cracked. I have the license number to register the software I just need a copy of the software. If anyone can copy or send the original and I will return the next day please email me at bsptss at aol dot com, I'll gladly pay any associated costs.

Thanks

Not sure what folder I can find them on my computer.

A lot of times it will list files for removal that really shouldn't be removed - I would rather err on the side of caution and remove things myself.

But that's just me.

I don't know who wrote this, but I found it online long ago.  Since I was told I was spelling "disc" wrong by other MTs (never by a doctor), I decided to research this matter and found this at http://www.stedmans.com/MTFeaturePrint.cfm/1324.

disc vs disk

 a 4-letter word

To what extent should one research the spelling of a word when there is more than one way to spell it? I suppose the answer would depend on a number of things, not the least of which is how much time one has to invest in word research. Productivity and therefore one’s pay suffers when ears, hands, and feet leave their transcription mode for any period of time.

If the word in question is a mere 4-letter word, it seems reasonable to believe that any one of respected resources would provide an appropriate spelling, so why bother with much research. Let’s face it, four-letter-word vocabularies are usually subject to more creative spellings than misspellings. However, because I was working on a special project, I decided to put to rest, once and for all time, the correct spelling of disc/disk as used in surgical dictation for a lumbar discectomy/diskectomy. Four hours and several resources later, I was sure I had my answer.

Au contraire.

I began my search in Stedman’s Medical 27^th Edition. It is after all my medical dictionary of choice. Clearly the preference for disc/disk when referring to the spine is “disc.” I disagreed. My preferred spelling was “disk” for all things spinal, so I checked the AMA Manual Style. To my delight, they agreed with me. In fact, it clearly states that one should use “disc” for ophthalmologic terms and “disk” for the remainder of the anatomy.

Dr. Dirckx, noted medical language expert, explained disc/disk it in an article that appears in the January 2002 issue of JAAMT. His article begins, “As you have no doubt discovered, reference works show a striking lack of consistency in the spelling of this term.” Amen to that!

I almost always use Vera Pyle’s book for confirmation, she being the all-time guru and grande dame of medical vocabulary. I couldn’t believe my eyes. She directs that one use “disk” when transcribing ophthalmologic dictation and “disc” for the remainder of the anatomy.

All right, the gloves came off. Next stop, the revered AAMT Book of Style. “We recommend the spelling disk for all anatomic and surgical references …” I was satisfied and feeling pretty smug, so I declared the victory to a member of Stedman’s staff and suggested that the Stedman’s Dictionary team look into changing “disc” preference to “disk” in their new edition.

It is a good feeling to be right, and I was feeling real good. That is, until the S27 research team took my suggestion and consulted the world experts in medical terminology. Who are they? “They” are the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology, and “they” are the final word. Chairman Ian Whitmore states that Latin is the basis for the world's official terminology as found in Terminologia Anatomica (TA). Want to know more about TA? It is explained in S27 and makes interesting reading.

And just what do the world experts say about disk/disc? Disc is in for all things medical; disk is out. Why? Because Latin terms have official status and, though the origin of the word is from the Greek term “diskos, the Latin derivation is “discus.”

So, my fellow word junkies, if you have always used “disk” as your preferred spelling in all things anatomical, today is the day to change because “disc” is correct in the eyes of the world.

He owns this house. It is too expensive for me to live here. It is an older home, needs work, expensive to heat. I work 5 pm to 2am. So evenings and nights. He puts kids to bed. I and kids wake up at 9am. Kids go to bed at 10pm.

And, there is nothing...I say N O T H I N G to rent in my daughter's school district (I've already moved her twice) and I am staying in this district til she graduates or if I am settled, for the duration of little kids' schooling.

Nope, don't have any interest in being Radiology Director of a 300+ bed hospital. Sorry.

Thanks for post.

Stay away from the D/FW area and Houston - too much traffic and illegals.  Drugs, gangs, etc.  Try to find a small town or country setting.  It is HOT and the concrete of the cities just increases that heat.  Also the pollution in these areas is bad so if you have any type of lung or breathing problems - stay away.  However, if you do not mind sitting in traffic for an hour to get to a job 10 miles away - then you should move to a big city.  If you are planning to work from home, remember that internet is not available everywhere in Texas.  Personally, I wouldn't move to Texas - I would choose SC or FL - much better options.
