Low Level Format Versus Clean All/Unconditional Format
Nov 30, 2011I have a few questions and one of them is, what is the difference between an unconditional format and a diskpart's Clean All in the command prompt. When I read their definitions online I don't know what they differ in.

May 22, 2012My neighbor's laptop hdd seemed not to be working right, he had left the laptop in the closet for 2 years anyway, so it seemed not a loss to run a utility that might bring the hdd back [might not], so I started the low level hdd pre-format from a disc I had been given.
That was about a month ago, and the 250 gb hdd is still not done. Should it really take this long, or is the hdd totalled?
Event Viewer Information Survives Low Level Format
Jan 25, 2012I have replicated a strange occurrence involving event viewer data over and over in case I was going insane and I would like to share this story in case someone can explain this spooky occurrence! A while ago I had to use system image restore (windows 7 image restore) to restore my entire system from a backup on my external. Everything went perfect, but one day whilst exploring Event Viewer I noticed some recorded events logged that occurred AFTER my image backup and before the restore. (the very events that clued me into running my image restore in the first place). Intrigued, I low level formatted my C: drive and again reinstalled from my image back up and again all recent events up to the most recent were still there in Event Viewer. How is this possible? Do I need an Exorcism performed on my PC? I have since replicated this multiple times out of share fascination. Any thoughts or priests that I could call on?

May 9, 2011In Vista, I was able to sort files by date created, highlight the files I want, then sort again by name, and all the files I selected previously would still be highlighted, but now they're in numerical order. Win 7 won't let me apply that second level of sorting. It's either name or date, but not both.

Mar 22, 2011I just installed windows 7 ultimate sp1 - Like the title says I'm seeing 35% cpu usage with nothing going on. I googled around and ran traces to see which driver it was, turned out the ahci driver was doing it. The USB driver showed similarly high latency but that can be delt with later. Most forums recommend upgrading your drivers but this problem has stayed constant both with microsoft's stock drivers for everything and after running windows built in search for drivers even after I manually grabbed the latest drivers for everything. url...BIOS is up to date4 GB RAM - Corsair something or otherEVGA Geforce 8800 GT450W psu1 DVD burner (sata)5 hard drives (sata) plugged into all but the first sata port because that caused nothing but headaches for me. Update - switching from AHCI to IDE in BIOS fixed the problem.

View 4 Replies View RelatedVolume Level Keeps Resetting To 30%
Feb 18, 2010I'm at the end of my rope with my volume issue. I'm running Win 7 64 Pro with a Creative X-FI Gamer card (latest drivers).
The issue: Master volume keeps resetting to 30%. Noticed it happens when I bring my PC out of standby, and when I run certain apps like Creative's sound panel. I've tried the "Do Nothing" option on the Comms tab, and also tried unchecking the Exclusive Mode options which give apps direct control over the sound card. Nothing works.
Is there a way to set the master volume in the registry and/or create a task which runs periodically to adjust the volume to where I want it?

Jul 10, 2011I installed Hamachi Free VPN. I have shared (full control) my entire external drive for convenience for everyone on my LAN.

Is there a way to restrict ALL users over the VPN from accessing those folders (without adding a rule for every user)?

Sep 1, 2011I recently installed Matrix: The Path of Neo, which is a great game, but its PC port is horrible.The problem is, the game detects any gamepad and maps its buttons automatically, with no options to change the buttons.So, the game uses the right analog stick to manipulate the camera but the X and the Y axis are switched so, what I wanted to do was to make Windows 'think' that the X axis is the Y axis and vice-versa.I already searched the internet and couldn't find any program that did this (xpadder, pinnacle game profiler, motionjoy, joytokey, none work)

May 20, 2011My laptop dies if I am on the battery and the battery percent gets between 25-40% then it will just completely shut off. It never used to do this for the first 8 months i've owned it. Now it does it every time I'm on the battery. Also, right before this started happening I was getting GREAT battery life out of my battery, so I don't personally think the battery has gone bad, however you may feel different!

Feb 9, 2013i am on a webpage, any webpage, and as i'm looking at the page it can slowly or quickly get smaller and smaller. my zoom will go from my normal 125% setting down to 12%. i reset the zoom and it happens again. this has been an interrmittent problem for the past few weeks. i use IE9. tonight i downloaded firefox to see if the problem would appear there also. it did. so i do think it's a windows is there some way to lock the zoom? what is causing this? my computer is set to download windows updates automatically (not the optional ones).i don't know if it's related, but at times the icons on my desktop get small. when i check i see that it is set to small icons. i change it back to medium icons, and it goes back to small icons. this also is intermittent, and sometimes seems to coincide with the webpage zoom issue, but not always.i sometimes lose my hot key settings for my wireless keyboard. for example, i hite the hot key for mail and nothing happens. this also is an intermittent issue that sometimes coincides with the other issues and sometimes does not.
View 7 Replies View RelatedFormatting The Install/Boot Partition - Low-Level Versus Quick?
Apr 30, 2012I noticed when I went about doing a fresh install of Windows 7 on the HDD that shipped with my laptop, and using the partitioning and formatting options included in the installation routine, that when I'd do a format, the formatting would complete very rapidly. From this, I deduce that the installation routine does not perform a low-level format.Perhaps, from this I should conclude that a low-level format is completely unnecessary. Yet, I seem to remember reading somewhere online, at some point in time (note: this might have been back in the Win'95 days) that it's better to do a low-level format; to flip all the bits to zero.
