• partition 'Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk.

  I created a partition of HARD drive in order to install a system in multiboot using XP and Vista, but I did mess up the BONES of the two. Now I want to do a clean install of Vista ONLY, but I don't know how to get rid of the partition! * Example: Computer management > disk management > right-click on the volume (M) > Delete Volume * but I get an error: "Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk" can someone help me to get my Vista to original?

  P.S. I have the "Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium32 - bit Operating System Disk" provided with my computer when I bought it new. Thank you! -Jeff

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  Delete the existing Partitions during the process.

• Delete the data in partitioned tables

  Hello

  Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 version, running on Linux Enterprise.

  I need to remove all the data from two tables (several 100 million lines each) that are partitioned.

  (1) table 1 is a partition table have varied to a DATE column

  (2) Table2 is a partition of reference table; partitioning is referenced on a relationship of foreign key to Table1 (column: key Table1.Primary)

  As I have no need for data, but want to keep the structure of the table, I would ideally like to delete partitions at the same time that the deletion of the data, so that the 2 tables partitioned and empty.

  Additionally, Table1 has some partitioned index I would be rebuilt as an index unpartitioned (given that Table1 will be empty).

  I thought I would start by removing all partitions of Table1 (via "ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION nom_partition Table1"), but when the script came to the last partition, I got this error message:

  ORA-14083: cannot delete the only one partition of a partitioned table

  ORA-06512: at "SYS." DROP_PARTITIONS', line 46

  If someone could advise as to the best approach to what I want to achieve with regard to the two tables? Two tables down and recreate them then without partitions would be the easiest way?

  Thanks in advance for any guidance.

  If someone could advise as to the best approach to what I want to achieve with regard to the two tables? Two tables down and recreate them then without partitions would be the easiest way?

  Yes - delete the tables and re-create them.

  As says the exception that you cannot delete the last partition. A table is partitioned either or it is not.

  There was no interest at all to use DBMS_REDEFINITION to redefine tables because you do not want the data anyway.

• Cannot delete the file - Windows 7 cannot check location

  Hello all,.

  After the upgrade to Windows 7, I tried to delete the Windows.old folder. However, I encountered a problem; There are two files in this folder that Windows 7 can not remove. When I try to delete them, I get an error message stating that Windows cannot locate the two files and it asks me to check their location. Is there a way to get around this?

  Thank you

  Garrick

  When the above does not work, try this:

  1. click on windows orb
  2. type cmd in the search box
  3. right click on cmd in the results menu and click on run as administrator
  4. control windows opens, must be in the directory c:\windows\system32
  5. go into c:\ do this type cd... until you reach c:\
  6 goto directory where the file to be deleted. example c:\windows.old\users
  7 type rd /s (directory name)
  8 get invites to delete y/n type y and press on enter

  After successful removal, you can check the windows Explorer and see that the file is missing.

  Example, I have a directory on my c drive named windows.old, under windows.old that I have a user directory and then several subdirectories, 1 directory happens to be named bill. For some reason any windows can not find this place and will not delete the folder. I then who follow the previous steps and remove this directory.

  So, in step 6, I would like to c:\windows.old\users goto, I then head to step 7 and enter the rd/s Bill and enter. Follow step 8 and the file is missing.

  Let us know if that helps.

• Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

  I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

  Found a solution to this problem.

  Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
  1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
  2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
  3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
  4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
  5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
  6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

  Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.

• Cannot delete the file. Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

  Cannot delete the file.  Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

  I got this file from my friend got sent - is a word document, I had on their computer.  So I tried to use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, temporary internet files and files program downloaded.  Does not work.

  When I check the properties, there is no security tab so I can't transfer ownership in this way.

  I don't want to experiment using the way of the transfer of ownership command prompt as the name of the file is several sentences long.  I can't rename it either, of course.

  Windows 7, a week and I already have a stupid problem which has already lost an hour of my time.

  What I did was to create a Notepad file that was empty and saved in the same location as the file that won't go away.  Once registered.  I click with the right button on the new file and rename the exact name as the file problem.  Don't forget to change the file extension (ex: .doc)

  ex file problem: word.doc

  new file: word.doc

  as long as they match eachother exactly you should see the file problem disappear and once that's gone, you can delete the new file created.
