• How to extend the partition that has free space on the left with diskpart

  I bought an SSD and made a second partition on my HARD drive to transfer my data. I had planned to clone and move the light to my SSD partition, but read that I was better to do a new install. I made a new installation on the SSD drive, deleted the old partition of Windows 7 and went to add to the data partition unallocated space (unallocated space is to the left of the partition). I know that you can not do this with disk management, but I've done it before on my laptop Windows 7 by using diskpart. I found an article earlier about how use diskpart to do what disk management may not, but I don't know how or where I found it.

  I know I can do it with applications 3rd party like GParted, but knowing that it is possible, but don't remember how to do it with diskpart is driving me crazy. Can someone help me?

  Hi Schwaka,

  As a general rule, it is very easy to extend the partition when the free space is right behind, but what can you do with the space left? Most people will feel that it is really a great difficulty.

  Do not worry! Here I recommend you an easy to use, software AOMEI Partition Wizard Server Edition. It is so common among computer users and most of the people speak highly.

  Your problem, there are two choices for you. We have to move the space unallocated behind, and the other is to merge the free space on the data partition. Both functions may not be permitted in Windows 7 disk management. In addition to the two features, more functions are supported to manage your drive.
  

  Have fun with it!

  Best wishes!

• Check the disk with Vista Home Premium

• Does anyone know how to change windows to recognize the disks with 520 bytes per sector? Or one knows if Windows 7 will recognize no 512 bytes per sector drives? Reader vendors will move to larger areas in the future.

  Windows does not recognize disks that are not 512 bytes per sector. Put readers at the point as unknown and I can't access it through the operating system. Is there something I can change to get Windows to recognize the disks that are not 512 bytes per sector?

  Hello MetalRain,

  Thank you for your message.  Are you able to see the disks in disk management?  Try the following:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'My computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  On the right, you see your drive?  If so, you can right click and it assign a drive letter.
  Now you should be able to close this window and you can format your drive to NTFS, you can specify to change the bytes per sector 512 if you wish as seen HERE.
  After assigning a drive letter, follow the steps below:
  Click "Start" > click "Run" > type cmd in the text field and press "Enter."
  In the command prompt, type format c:/FS: NTFS / a: 512 and press "Enter."
  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.

• The disk (with no key) installed Vista Home Premium, and the license key OEM is for... Home Basic!

  I recently did a clean install with the disc that came with my Dell XPS6400 (bought in the auction) local computer, which had only "Vista 32bits" written on it and no product key.  I thought I could use the key on the sticker on the underside of the computer OEM license, even if the 2 characters in the 3rd section were partially missing - they had to be one of the other four.  When OEM license was initially considered valid, I realized that I had not yet downloaded a service pack, but after that, he was still to come as being invalid!  Then, I found that the version of Vista that was on the disc was "Home Premium" and the OEM for "Home Basic" license key  Do I have to reinstall the whole system, drivers, etc., in order to establish the upgrade?  (Please say "NO", there is an easier way to do this!    Here's the MGADiag. -I hope it helps.  :-}

  The product key on the bottom will work for what he says he is, Windows Home Basic Edition.

  Reinstall the correct Systyem, Windows Home Edition basic operation to use this product key.

  And Microsoft sells more than Vista.

  To reinstall Vista Home Basic read this information.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought, not that one 32-bit, vista, your computer must be on the hard drive to reinstall recovery Partition Vista to how you bought your computer, which may or may not work after the installation of the wrong edition.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  Hello

  I had a similar problem, create a second partition with partition magic.
  After a long time of investigation, I found the right solution
  The magic of the scores could not create the second partition because the files on the HARD disk are not defragmented.

  First I ran chckdsk and after restarting again, I defragmented the HARD drive.
  It's a key!

• Insert the disk with games error

  docdrabs,
  If this PC has been updated from XP to Vista, check if that you update all your hardware and software drivers.  The firmware of your CD player will be available by the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the real CD player.  I'd start by checking with the manufacturer of PC for updates for most of the material.  You can get your videocard directly updated from the chipset manufacturer (nVidia, ATI, Intel, etc...)

• What is the effect to overwrite the disk with catalogue metadata metadata?

  I have a large collection of images on internal and external drives which I'm building on an external and internal a drive. Location of the file, maybe nothing to do with my question. I often see images marked with either "changed by an external application metadata" which have not been processed in another application. I also have pictures tagged "error writing." metadata Retry fails, and you have the choice between crush the metadata.

  My question is if you want to use from the drive or the catalog metadata. I don't want to lose data capture, Lightroom metadata written on the importation or the keywords. I would like an explanation of what is causing these errors and the effect of choosing the data disk or the catalog data.

  Thank you.

  LR stores his understanding of the metadata of a photo in the catalog - the catalog is the 'truth '.  The status of metadata is supposed to indicate if what is in the catalog is newer than what is stored in the file and if an external application may have changed the file metadata after LR read it in the catalog (a conflict).

  Over the years, LR has had problems showing the status of correct metadata for a photo. It was worse in older versions, but I've seen a few reports of incorrect state in LR 6 / 2015 CC and I met a few cases myself.

  As long as you believe that you have not run external applications that have changed the metadata of a file, you can be confident that what is in your catalog is 'truth' and ignore the State of conflict indicators.  You can freely do metadata > save metadata to a file to write what is in the catalog to the files and often to clear the incorrect state.  For the record, it seems that the definition of the option settings of the catalog > metadata > XMP automatically write changes reduces or eliminates incorrect status indicators.

  However, I would not ignore "error writing metadata.  So that you can be sure that the metadata in the LR catalog remain the 'truth', the error suggests that there is a problem with your file system - incorrect permissions or a flaky drive.   If the error occurs frequently when you make metadata > save metadata file, which suggests a problem with permissions or permanently damaged disc (check your backups!). If the problem occurs intermittently, which suggests a flaky drive.

• Satellite Pro P200 - 1EE: Question about two partitions on the disk with Vista

  I've had my laptop for 2 months now and when I click on computer to watch my hard drive there are two; 1 called vista (: c) and other data (: E).
  Why is it two hard disks?
  And called Vista one 21.5 GB free and the other has 71.2 GB free.
  So if we get full my laptop will automatically use it?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  According to my experience, the Vista operating system to the second partition for data backup. It s necessary and important if you want to restore or repair the Windows operating system. This is a new feature in Vista!

  > So if you get full my laptop will automatically use it?
  No, it will automatically switch to the other partition if the first partition is full.
  You must point to the second partition if you want to store data on this second partition.

• Monitoring of the performance of the disk with Hyperic

  When we look at measures of performance "fileserver mount" on one of the platforms of my, I saw that the monitoring interval was shown as "varies". Wanting to know what it means, I clicked on the 'i' icon next to the word "varies". It showed that I had only a few points of collection of data per month. Why is this?

  "Varies" refers to the case when the metric for the same metric collection interns through a group resources vary. If they all had the same interval, you would see the real interval.

  Hello

  ·         It happens with all CD/DVD?

  Method 1: try and check if the drive works with another computer.

  Method 2: clean the CD or the DVD. To do this, use a disc cleaning kit. Or gently wipe the silver side of the disc with a soft and Lint cotton cloth. Do not use cloth of paper which can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the disc, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the problem persists, clean the disc with a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly until you insert the disc in the drive.

  Method 3: if it happens with all CD/DVD, run the fix if from the following links.
