i've been looking for a way to extend the space on my C drive and came across this forum and after reading some posts i thought great i can delete D drive and put the 52gb in to C drive but then came across this. Which is what i have in my disk management! I went through the initial steps of this tutorial and found that the first volume listed in Computer Management is a "Disk 0" or perhaps Disk capital-oh O. Its status displays as Simple Basic Healthy (EISA Configuration) What is this thing? The overall readout for the computer's harddrive? Do I need to be worried about it if I want to delete the D: partition? It's a 120GB harddrive, with 51.14GB on C: and 50.89 on D:, yet 9.76GB on this mysterious Disk 0. I'd like to merge all three into one C:.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow do I uninstall a program that Vista doesn't recognize as being installed at all. I have been moving all my old programs to a new Vista machine including one from back during Win95 that failed to install correctly. I tried a couple of things and somehow got it installed twice while using comparability mode.
It wasn't working properly so I uninstalled it. Actually I uninstalled one of the 2 instances of it. The 2nd installation isn't listed in the programs when I go to the Uninstall Programs menu. The program actually works, at least part of it and the program is listed under the Start menu/All Programs.
I open my computer and right mouse click on DVD drive and go to prosperities and there is only 5 tabs and the auto play is missing. So my LG DVD won't boot up an auto play. So if my computer crasher I won't be able to put in my Vista DVD and boot up to fix it. Anyone knows anything about this? I put a Emprex DVD in and it boots up auto play where I can click on the auto play and go from there but there still isn't an auto play tab on the property of my computer.

(i know bluetooth uses smaller wave lengths and wifi larger, that much i do know) it would probably be impractical to try wifi on bluetooth band as you would get severely reduced performance. but why not bluetooth on wifi band?

View 9 Replies View RelatedYou want to install software using Ubuntu? Synaptic is a graphical front-end to apt, the package management system in Ubuntu. It combines the point-and-click simplicity of the graphical user interface with the power of the apt-get command line tool. With windows, insert the CD or DVD and it autostarts. If not, you can click SETUP on the media. then click next and it installs. No command lines. No wonder why 99.999999% of the users reject Ubuntu as garbage. It is garbage.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have deleted a file from my docs, then emptied the recycling bin, then deleted loads more stuff and again emptied the recycling bin. Suddenly there was a Word document that didn't want deleting. I have found it again using Recuva but it tells me that it isn't recoverable as the file has been written over. Is there anyway of recovering a file that has been deleted and that space written over again but the file name is still available during a search using recovery tools?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have bought a new system with Vista Home Premium and I am trying to install an IDE hard drive as a slave. These are from my old system and I just want them installed so I can copy across stuff. I have done this in XP with no problem but I cannot seem to get this system to see them. If they do not show up in Bios does this mean Vista wont see them? I have tried varies jumper settings but my Bios just wont see either of my drives. My new system has a Sata HD installed so I am just connecting my slave IDE HD to the empty IDE connector on the Mobo.

I read an article last week that the number one thing to do to protect your computer from malware is to run it in a "user" account. Equal to that is simply good behavior or sites on internet. Also to keep everything updated. I have always done these things. I run the latest Avast for my antivirus protection. I also have windows defender protection on and PC Tools Firewall Plus for firewall. Tonight I looked at drudge report and clicked on a link to a British newspaper. The article wasn't what I thought it was and it looked like a tabloid (Sun? closed so quick don't remember) and tabloid is not news so I quickly closed that window and went on to next links. My computer went slow after that. Just did not seem right. Restarted in safe mode and ran cCleaner computer clean and registry clean in both user and admin. Restarted and all my appearance settings are different. Runs slow or different. I remembered Windows Defender updated yesterday and the update always does a restore point. Tried to run System restore to restore to yesterday settings. After giving admin permission I saw the wait circle just disappear. It was like vista just ignored or canceled the start up of system restore. Every time I retried System restore it did the same thing or crashed my computer.
This smells like a virus. I go to main stream web sites only, run computer with (default limited) user account (use admin only when I need to make certain changes which is rare), Avast updates automatically multiple times a day. With these settings and behavior I thought I was bulletproof. I even read that $10,000 hacking prize winner Dino Dai Zovi and Rich Mogull both said Vista more secure than Apple Mac. I am currently scanning whole computer with a-squared Free. I will then scan with Avast, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, SUPERAntiSpyware, Windows Defender, and again with Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, in that order. What do I do if all these scans find nothing?
What do I do now? I never had a virus or malware before. Is it like the mumps, you want to get it as a child and not an adult? Does antivirus or antimalware remove bad stuff or does it just tell me I am infected and I need to reformat and rebuild system
I am about to set up my new HP computer which has Vista Premium 64 bit and a 750 gig hard drive. With all the mp3's, lossless audio and avi's I have on various external hard drives, 750 gigs isn't really "that big" anymore! So I was on the phone with a friend last night and he said "I have to delete a bunch of stuff from my hard drive because my computer geek friend told me I should never have my drive more than 50% full." I said, "Well, surely nowadays with big hard drives that is no longer true. But I will ask."
How full can a 750gig hard drive be, before it causes sluggishness or other problems, using Vista Premium 64bit? Note: I am thinking of shrinking the C partition into various partitions: about 20gigs for a cd/dvd ripping area about 100gigs for Vista and programs and desktop working area" (C drive) about 400 gigs for mp3's and the rest for .avi movie files Is this a reasonable plan? And is it okay to shrink it and divide it after I'm already up and running with Vista, internet, etc.?

View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is probably a very simple question, transferring from xp to vista using easy transfer, over the years theres been a lot of stuff duplicated and deleted on my xp machine. I believe all these deleted copies and all the other deleted stuff stays on the computer, just not visible. Does esay transfer transfer all this deleted stuff as well,and if so is there anything special I should do to my xp machine to stop these copying. Don't want to fill the vista before i've used it with deleted stuff.

Instead of just highlighting it character by character it auto marks who words and stuff instead, really annoying.
