127 GB of disk space required for Windows XP?

I use the copy of XP comes with my computer 10 years ago.  I upgraded to SP 3.  XP is now 127 GB of my 142 GB disck drive.  I think it should be less than 70 GB.  How can I reduce the space occupied by Windows?

Thank you!

The brief flash was probably because you run msizap by double-clicking to open a command prompt window instead and it works there.

This is probably the best at this time for you to take the computer to a local store.  I suggest does not go to a place geeksquad or type BigBoxStoreUSA, but you probably right that who take you to reinstall Windows.  Don't forget to tell them to back up your data files (photos, documents, music, etc.) first.

Unless the Office was preinstalled on the computer when you bought it (and the store chooses to use the method of 'back to the conditions of the factory'), you must reinstall Office.  You also need to reinstall other applications that are now on the computer.  You need original installation media and product keys.  Ask the shop to extract the product keys for your various applications before reinstalling Windows.

Good luck.

  • Calculate the disk space required for the INDEX

    Hello

    How to calculate the disk space required to create an INDEX? Please tell me where I can get the details of resources.

    For example:
    I need to create a non-UNIQUE INDEX on the columns, an approximate size would do.

    < PRE >
    NOT NULL DATE EVENT_DATE
    APPT_DATE_SLOT VARCHAR2 (15)
    EVENT_STATUS VARCHAR2 (4)
    < / PRE >

    The table has some 7 300 000 rows. I would like to know how to calculate too.

    All AIDS are very much appreciated.

    A rough estimate of the index space will need is possible by

    adding the actual length expected from each column, plus 6 for the rowid, 2 for the number of the X-header of the rows in the table that will be so an entry

    Date are 7 bytes internal + 15 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 34 X 7.3 M = 248200000 X General fresh for the block header, initrans, etc...

    We will use 20% overhead block or 1.2 X 248200000 = 297840000, which is about 285 M

    The actual distribution will vary according to your method of range tablespace.

  • Disk space required for the restructuring of the DB

    Hi all

    Running Essbase 11.1.2.1

    Sought a definitive answer to this and can't seem to find one, hoping that someone here can provide some clarification.


    For the sake of arguments, if I wanted to make a '' RESTRUCTURING '' through the Regional service for a 50 GB database, how much free space will have to complete successfully?

    A. probably simplified view (assuming the data must land on ora-ess01, have a few "Fireworks" and then go back to the DB), I imagine that something around 150% the size of the file would be sufficient, so about 75 GB free.

    We are being advised by our consultants to have 250%, which would mean 125 GB... im assuming they are correct, because they know much more than we mere mortals (me), but if someone could shed some light on this it would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    JB

    You don't mention if it's ASO or OSB. I'll assume BSO. That, to at least the size of your .pag, .ind, .otl, .esm combined files as it makes copies of all these. a little more would be food. Of course that would be the minimum and if a single database gets restructured and allow growth of DB.

    With ASO, you need more space because it creates a copy in the temp directory for as well as the .dat file and so I heard the recommendation of 2 times your dat file, but I think you could get away with less.

    I don't know what other factors are your consultant is taken into account I don't know your environment.

    I should mention that it's for a simple restructuring, if restructuring is done by exporting the data, delete the DB and reloading, then much more disk is necessary because data would not be compressed on the disk in the export.

  • Patch authentication LEAP Cisco space required for Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition

    Hi all:

    I tried both Vista Business 32-bit PC and Windows 7 Home edition 64 bit for Cisco LEAP Authentication. The result is that Vista Bz PC can have authentication option Cisco LEAP under wireless security option, Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit does not. After select, it works with the authentication LEAP of Cisco AP1041N.

    May I know that Cisco can provide the patch driver file for authentication on Windows 7 64 bit home edition LEAP so that I can make authentication wireless on Cisco AP1041N?

    Or any body knows a way to get this Windows 7 64 bit home edition to work with authentication with Cisco AP1041N LEAP?

    Many thanks in advance and best regards,

    Tang,

    It seems that you can not use jump unless u install intel proset "supplicant" that supports only the drivers intel.

    CHECH the link

    http://www.SevenForums.com/network-sharing/3084-security-wireless-Cisco-leap.html

    So it seems that give u the option for Cisco leap in windows vista is a software provided by intel. Microsoft or Cisco.

    If you have intel driver u better contact intel if you want jump built in. If not then I don't know if anything will make leap to work built into windows. You need a global independent "supplicant".

  • Under XP, while doing a disk cleanup, get a message "files required for windows runs properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.

    While doing a disk cleanup, I received a message "files which are required for windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.» To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition now. "and I did not... I can restore it online?

    * original title - windows file protection *.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    If you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable which corresponds to your currently installed Service Pack, you won't get away with instructions to run sfc/scannow.

    Windows file protection wants to replace a file of the backup copy he keeps in the dllcache folder and WFP found that the backup copy of the file on your system is not look right, so he complains (there is a list of 3498 files PAM knows).

    When you see the original message, if you click Cancel, then choose 'keep' the file afflicted, you will see a warning message, and then a message like this in the case where the system log viewer:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64005
    Description:
    The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

    As you can see, the file that WFP is concerned is clearly stated in the paper, so now you know what is the file.

    For the above example, I used my (taskmgr.exe) Task Manager file to reproduce the problem.  You need to see what your event viewer message says.

    When you know what the file is, you can decide what to do about it.  There are probably other copies of the files on your system, or you can get the files from another source.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Check your event observer system log and look for a proposed Windows file protection event.

    If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

    When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove personal information from your information
    After having stuck if you are forced to do so.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

So I said forget it and went with one of the best Antivirus out there (my opinion only) programs free and it scanned and found some articles ad and he never came back! So I'm lucky so far and happy! Once again thanks to Jose @ and @ John for help and getting back to me, that shows the high level of awareness and dedication... So thank you to you two!
