Auditor of the filesystem in windows 7

How to run the System File Checker in windows 7 Home premium? .... I was suggested to do to improve system performance and to solve the problem of locking windows. I was asked to run sfc/scannow in the search box for the start menu, but it did not show any results. When I typed sfc in the search box for the start menu and you press on enter, a cmd window flashed and disappeared without asking.

I'm confused about what is past and what to do next?... What is the purpose of the sfc exactly? ... If he runs and disappears on its own without telling anything?

Type CMD in the search box, and then click the CMD that appears, and then select run as administrator.  Then type SFC/SCANNOW , and then press your enter key. Carey Frisch

  • Use of the filesystem in Windows Vista Business

    I had a neX61 in November last with Windows Vista Business and 120 GB disk space. I installed MS Office Standard 2007 and Visio, the disk of 2 months following its use grew much greated than the volume of data that I have placed on the system. I ran all the checks planned and all is good - no problems.

    However I could not always represent 35 + concerts. I downloaded a tool on the web that says basically structure sizes and directory trees and showed that I should have 35 gigs of spare, i.e. If I added the directory sizes, there was a huge amount still free. I couldn't get to the bottom of this.

    One day, Outlook 2007 crashed and rebuilds itself, when it rebuilt, suddenly space reappeared. Afterwards, I ran all the diagnosis of MS Outlook with no significant results. During the next 6 weeks, which space recovery file again gone so now its 50Gigs I losyt. I decided to uninstall Outlook, but so far it has not recovered from my disk space. Before that I use a hard reinstall of Vista Business Windoze of stuff over there?

    See you soon

    Andy,

    Right now, you have identified the exact problem, hell, I didn't even know this has the value automativcally of backup, the first 25Gigs swallowed the backup, then the next 4 subsequent in swallowed another 5 concerts a moment.

    Windows clients want an economic platform that maximizes the availability of data, can effectively scale to very large volumes of data across various workloads, and guarantees the integrity of the data using the resiliency to corruption (regardless of hardware or software failures).

  • Why is the default on Windows 8 K page size?

    Hello

    I do some work setting on our databases because the Scriptures are a bit slow:
    about 100 puts / deletes per second. One thing I'm getting is setting the fill factor
    as recommended in the API docs and requires knowledge of the size of the page.

    I found that the system on linux and windows (x 86) page size is 4 K.
    However, the BDB chooses a page size default of 4K on linux and 8K on windows.
    I found this by collecting data using Db::stat_print() see Windows test code below.
    I have the same code that runs on both platforms.

    I was expecting that BDB would choose 4K on both platforms to match to the
    System page size. The docs and "The Berkeley DB Book" say or imply
    that this is the case.
    http://www.Oracle.com/technology/documentation/Berkeley-DB/DB/ref/am_conf/PageSize.html
    http://www.Oracle.com/technology/documentation/Berkeley-DB/DB/api_cxx/db_set_pagesize.html

    Can someone explain why the default page size is 8K on windows?
    Should I replace the default value and set it to 4K? I am reluctant to substitute the
    page size by default without knowing why a non intuitive value.

    I have read several forum posts on the page size, as well as the reference setting
    Guide section, API docs, etc.

    I use BDB 4.6.21 on Windows XP Professional (fully patched) and linux.
    I use a DB_HASH database.

    My files are fixed size: the key and the data set total 40 bytes.
    If the overflow pages should not be a problem, and there should be a lot of
    records per page.

    Hello

    We use a default 8K on Windows page size because it is not easy to recover from a specific block size.

    The comment in the code to set the block size is:

            /*
             * The filesystem I/O size is not easily available.  In particular,
             * the values returned by GetDiskFreeSpace() are not very helpful
             * (NTFS volumes often report 512B clusters, which are too small to
             * be a useful default).
             */
    

    If you know a way to reliably determine the block size of system files in Windows - we can integrate it into the code.

    We choose a default value of 8K on all platforms where we do not find a specific block size. This is because it is usually better - for performance reasons - to have a writing of data in chunks larger than the block size.

    If you read the reference guide on page size setting, you can probably do better than our "guess". You just configure the page size you want through the DB-> set_pagesize API.

    Kind regards

  • Mac lost during the installation of windows

    When installing windows on a MAC, I deleted my partition mac completely and I am now left with windows 7 to my mac book air. Y at - it an option to install mac, I don't mind losing the windows partition

    Hello smarthala,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you deleted by mistake your Mac partition during the installation of Windows. The partition itself deleted or was it the Mac OS that has been erased, leaving an empty partition?

    If the latter, you can reinstall OS X from OS X Recovery. See this article for how that should be done: On OS X Recovery
    Otherwise, you can use Internet recovery (Command-Option-R, as opposed to the command-R) to repartition the entire hard drive and install the version of Mac OS X provided on your Mac. Who is finished, you can upgrade to El Capitan via the App Store > bought.

  • Bring back the old options windows in Firefox

    Upgrading Lee 42.0 was removed for the difficulty I have applied (setting the "browser.preferences.inContent" preference) to continue to allow the Options appear in a window pop up, rather than in the flat browser window. It's really annoying and difficult to use, the context menu was much easier to use and have floating "above" the browser window.

    The "browser.preferences.inContent" preference setting is no longer seems to work. Please tell me if there is a way to solve this problem, because I am in and out of the options a fair bit and it really is a pain to use now.

    Thank you.

    Hi marcoporcellini, firefox doesn't bring back the old interface options - browser.preferences.inContent preference was just in place temporarily for a period of transition. now that there are new features and settings, go to preferences and was former windowed interface is more maintained, its users would have missed out on them, so the support fell completely in firefox 42.
