View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a 6 month old HP Pavilion dv6.When I was partitioning the hard drive, some error occurred and the process got interrupted( this was after the 'shrink the primary partition'0 step). Disk Management Window didn't show any new partition, so I went on and created two new partitions, but afterwards, I can see an extra partition in My Computer. No info like disk capcity etc., visible; It just has the name 'Local Disk (Q)'. I tried running Disk Management again to get rid of it, but it's not shown in the Disk Management listing. How do I delete it? I tried system restore, but no system restore points prior to the partitioning available

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a folder that has 25 subfolders and all folders are empty. When I try to delete them, an error appears stating that the folder contains names that are too long for the recycle bin. The next screen states that the source file name(s) are too long than is supported by the file system.
I would like to remove this folder and all its subfolders. I have tried everything from changing permissions to changing attributes and even trying DOS to remove the folders; no luck!
In my workings with Windows 7, I have come across a few folders that have been created by the system or and installation, they are all locked and are a number/letter combination type name. The first contains a copy of iesetup.exe dated 2/8/2009. The second contains an MPsigStub.exe dated 5/21/10, the third has an amd64 folder that shows up as empty, I didn't have show hidden files on. The fourth has another iesetup.exe same date, ie8.msu same date, a .dll same date and a eula.rtf dated 2/12/09. I do not believe that they are required but I have been wrong enough times to ask more learned and experienced people about it. May I safely delete them?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThrough some obvious fault of my own, and probably during one of two complete Windows 7 Ultimate reinstalls, I ended up with four of five folders within my �ProgramData� folder that appear to belong to another user. Since I am the only user on the system, and since Win 7 tells me that I need permission from myself to access these files, I was confused.Two of these folders had data from both Nero, and Nuance. Attempting to upgrade either of these applications failed, probably due the protected, or read-only, status of these folders. While I couldn't erase them, I was able to rename them. While that then cause both applications to fail, reinstalling these applications with straightforward, and I'm no longer locked out of these folders.
That just leaves the two folders that I renamed, and am unable to delete under any circumstances. I even tried booting the system under a standalone Linux, and any attempt to delete these folders failed there also. This situation is more of a net, or annoyance, then any major problem, but I would be happy to listen to anyone's ideas about how I might delete these folders.
First off, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I had no idea what section to post this in.Today I was using a program for the game 'Minecraft' called MultiMC and when deleting files it created I don't need anymore, I came across a folder I couldn't open, delete or do anything with. When I try to open it it says '(location) is not accessible. Access is denied'. When I try delete it, it says 'You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changed to this folder' (yet, I am the administrator - the only account on the computer).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was running Windows Vista on my C drive and had purchased Windows 7. Prior to installing Win 7, I partitioned my C drive (since it was one giant drive) and made a new one and labeled it H. I then went on to install Windows 7 on the H drive, which went smoothly. Now I'd like to delete the partition that contains Vista.
However, I am not able to delete it and I get an error. I have attached the screen shot of my disk management. If someone could explain how I could go about in order to delete the C partition, that would be wonderful. I again apologize for starting this thread if someone else has posted the same thing elsewhere.

I had windows vista home premium 64bit in a dual boot with windows 7 ultimate beta build. Then I got my upgrade cd and upgraded vista to Windows 7 home premium 64bit. So now I have a dual boot with Windows 7 (new version with all my files on it) and Windows 7 (old beta with almost nothing on it except for Windows 7 beta). In the disk manager, it says "system, BOOT, page file, active, primary partition" for the new Windows 7, and just "primary partition" for the old beta partition.
I'm pretty sure this means I can delete the old partition and re-allocate the space to my main partition, but I'm posting this just to be sure because I learned a hard lesson when I deleted an ubuntu partition that was in charge of the boot.
