• Had to install XP Pro in one folder other than the Windows folder. Can I delete the new folder without causing problems?

  I was cleaning some ad/bad/spyware on the computer of a friend. It runs XP Media Center 2005. When I restarted it, it wanted a password. He put never, ever. The only work around was to reinstall XP without deleting any of his files (more than 8000 music files) because it is not anything save. I put the new XP in a different folder, I named. After searching around, all of his stuff is there and I can access, but this new folder is take a LOT of resources/mem. There is almost nothing in this record, I can delete the new folder without compromising each other, installation? I think I would need to get rid of mode safe mode with command prompt. I did it so many times, but it's never happened to me. Help!

  Once you get the drive installed, simply use xcopy or Robocopy to copy the files, with a fairly large music 8000 drop these command-line utility will be faster than to try to copy them through the Windows Explorer GUI.  Xcopy is integrated with Windows XP, Robocopy is available for download from Microsoft.

• Hot to lock the Bitlocker encrypted without restarting the system drive?

  I encrypted a few readers in my build system Windows 7 RC 7100, I unchecked the option to "automatically unlock the drive when the system boots", but I have a problem here, I use this drive after unlocking, but there is no option to lock again becase she even unlocks for all users in the system , then if I log into my account, it will be available as he has already unlocked to any other user on this system (until I don't reload the re-allocated).

  If anyone have idea please?

• How can I change my drive letter on my backup drive?

  From: ScottHarlow

  About 2 weeks ago, I did a full system back up and now I want to restore SOME files from the backup. Whenever I go to the backup and Restore Center and try to do a restore of the files, I get a warning that there are no backups available on this computer. But, from the main screen, I see that the last backup was performed on 07/07/2008 and has been saved on disk 'G '. It is an external hard drive and now when I connect Windows Vista (Ultimate) assigns to the player "H". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  From: Richard G. Harper

  You have the Nations United-do what you did to back up the road of 'G' to 'H' - if the Windows backup utility him is not where the backup where think he saves, the backup will be considered as damaged and unusable.

• How can I change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'winretools' on a laptop Win 8?

  I'm just going through the process to customize a new Inspiron 14z with Windows 8. The only thing that left me speechless are all provided partitions installed on drive, thanks to a combination of everything be different on Win8, Dell make their own way and GPT formatting.  Generally, I would like to know what the devil all these partitions are for, but it is fine if it will be a slow learning process.  More precisely and immediately, I need to change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'WINRETOOLS '.  Currently it is D:, and the problem is that 10 years from now, I'm using as my data partition D: and a number of applications, configurations, settings, etc. assume that all my files are on D:.  For example, by having all my music on D:, I can sync iTunes library and preference between machines and all results files and playlists is from a machine to another.  Same thing for my photos.  Same for a bunch of utilities like FTP consoles, sync utilities...

  In an earlier version of Windows, I would just go into management drives, right click on the partition in question, assign a different drive letter and work done.  On my machine, the WINRETOOL 2 GB partition shows not even as having a drive letter in disk management, despite the fact that it is D: in Win Explorer.  In addition, only the right click option is 'help '.  I took this option, and, despite its aspirations, it is not useful.

  How can I change this drive letter to something else?  WINRETOOLS should even have a drive letter in Explorer (some messages that I've seen indicates that it must be hidden)?  If I change the drive letter, which will break its function, whatever it is?

  ....

  My machine has a 500 GB of rotating disk that has all of the above partitions.  I shrunk the 80 GB C: partition, to create a data partition.  I've not yet formatted the unallocated space I want to solve this WINRETOOLS thing first.  Finally, there is a 32 GB of SSD that I put in place as a cache of the Intel Smart Response, and it is no longer visible to the operating system.

  At the command prompt, type the following and press "enter":

  mountvol D:\/d

  Close the command prompt.

  Drive D: letter should now be available and not used.

  Here's some info about Mountvol, it's very powerful to be safe to use it:

• How can I change the drive letter of the second disc of C: to another letter?

  original title: I add an opportunity second hard drive labeled C:. How can I change the drive letter of the second disc of C: to another letter?

  I'm runnibg Vista service pack 1 on a Compaq Presario with a labeled hard drive C:.

  No you haven't, how it was labeled in the old pc is irrelevant, just install you it as slave on your PC drive, depends on the question of if you need to change the jumper on the drive. Some PC manufacturers require the rider to be set as "cable select" others as "slave" (unless of course, it's a sata drive that requires no jumpers)

  Once it is set, when you start your PC, it will be assingned a drive letter

• Is it possible to change a drive letter of the system?

  Hello

  I have XP Pro SP3.

  I am interested if it is possible to change a drive letter of the system. My windows was originally installed on c:, but then I found that it is on d:. Maybe it was because I inserted a disc with another Windows in my pc. So, if the computer sees it has letter c: with windows he used d:. I put t know. But 98.5 percent of register use c:. But when I run my computer, then "documents and settings" on d: to run all my accounts on d:. I would like to go back to c: and (change the drive letter c: to something different and then change the d: to c :). I would change a few c: registry values. But how can I do when Windows has probably read files on the wrong drive? If I would disconnect the disk if the Windows will crash. So I want to just change the letters and give it back to its original position.

  This problem that I solved with the backup of the machine. A problem occurs when I restore it back. But this facility has been unlucky.
