"D" created automatically during the installation of Win 7?

Hello

My wife has a Toshiba laptop, bought refurbished, with Win 7 Home Premium installed.

Windows Explorer shows 2 partitions on the hard drive, "WINDOWS(C:))." "has the OS installed on it and"Data (D :) '. "has the necessary information, when used in conjunction with the recovery CD for system recovery.

My question is:-the 'D:' partition created automatically when installed Win 7 on a blank disk, formatted, hard or when you perform a "clean" installation to upgrade XP. The high '\HDDRecovery Data (d :))' folder on the partition "Data (D :)". ', (can't get 'D:' through Explorer properties) on the laptop my wife watch as being slightly more than 6.5 GB.

If this partition is not created automatically that I can programmatically create it before the installation owner, but if I do, what size does?
If it's better that Win 7 'sees' a single partition, I can easily do that.

This situation "C:", "D:" suits me very well because I currently just on my XP Pro x 64 system drive. A historic agreement dating from when I used a dual-boot put in place. When I spread the secondary boot option I put in place a small drive "D:" so that my 'work' partition, first on my second hard disk (3) has been kept as "E:", several shortcuts pointing to the location. I didn't want to trawl through the system to change things to E: to something else. Guess I'm just a bit lazy!

So, in short, "D:", create or not create?

Thanks in advance for your help.

D: is normally assigned automatically to your recovery drive or optical drive. The size of the recovery partition is normally determined by the manufacturer of the computer, and it can be based on a number of factors such as the WIM image to reinstall Windows 7 in addition to packaged applications, drivers, and utilities. Sizes may vary from 10 to 20 GB. Some may if distributed on several partitions recovery.

  • Satellite Pro A10 hangs during the installation of Win XP

    Hi guys,.

    just thouth I would ask why my new laptop will not install XP.
    Only, it crashes during installation. No n' achete purchased on this occasion, had no operating system installed.

    I wonder if it's a driver problem, using my xp disc I bought, but like I said that just, it will hang during installation.
    What I need to intergrate drivers somehow?
    I'm guessing that this is the problem?

    If so, how do I?

    see you soon

    I really wonder that your new laptop is probably produced about 5 years ago. ;)

    In any case, to install WXP use WindowsXP SP1 installations CD (factory settings). If you want to discuss a little more please explain to us what exactly is happening.

    Newbie question. The above work is automatically scheduled when the database is installed, or what I put up in DBMS_SCHEDULER?

    I don't see it in DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS, so I guess I need to set up my own schedule. Easy enough if that is the case.

    In addition, if a job in DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS has an empty as REPEAT_INTERVAL ' ORA$ AUTOTASK_CLEAN "for example, how many times he turns and how - what is determined?

    Finally, where are the documented jobs that are in DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS at the time of installation?

  • Satellite A500-1 - BSOD appears during the installation of Win XP

    Hello

    When I try to install Windows XP, it displays this screen on my laptop:

    http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5498/img0159ni.th.jpg

    Greetings

    Hello

    I think that the BSOD appears because the Win XP cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of SATA driver.

    There are two solutions;

    (1) you need to add a SATA driver for Win XP (done SATA driver is part of the Intel Storage Manager)

    (2) or you need to set the Compatibility Mode AHCI SATA mode. This allows you to install the Win XP without the SATA drivers.

  • during the installation of windows 8, which upgraded the wizard asks to install now or install by creating media what the difference

    during the installation of windows 8, which upgraded the wizard asks to install now or install by creating media what the difference

    When you install by creating media, allows to create a backup of a Virgin DVD USB or USB key installation files. (I recommend you do this in case you need to reinstall Windows 8 in the future).

    If you choose to not, Windows 8 will be a non-media from your hard drive installation automatically.

    Windows 8 simplifies the procurement process with an installer called Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant Web that makes it easy to download and create a local backup for future use. Digital distribution works this way, you download the installer, launch that and he will download Windows 8, the time it takes depends on the speed of your Internet connection ultimately. Microsoft noted that the Web Installer includes a sophisticated compression technology that downloads pieces in sections of 10 MB to ensure that its safe delivery. When you download the installer, the installer creates a folder called "WindowsESD" in the root of your drive C:\ (if you have multiple partitions that this case may be on another). From there, you will find a complete Windows disk image, you can burn it to a blank DVD and make your own physics, copy, or store it on a USB key.

  • Cannot create a partition during the installation of Windows 7

    When I want to create a new partition on the unallocated space during the installation of Windows 7 in custom option on that I enter the size of the partition size I wanted and click apply, but nothing happens and cannot install Windows 7, but the same thing can be done by my old Windows XP CD. My computer is Dell Inspirion - 620... When I was clicking on an already partitioned space to install, error message is that there was not much free space in partitioned space was similarly if I formatted the partition of 75 GB and all 75 GB of free space and so on showing the screen.

    Try to increase the size of the partition and see what happens.

    Windows 7 would probably work on a 75 GB partition, but you will run out of space real fast at that size. A minimum of 120 GB would be better.

    Another thing you could try is to simply create a major score for the entire disk, then after you have installed Windows, go to "disk management" and create your other partitions.

    Personally, I don't see what good it does to have multiple partitions on the same drive. If the drive fails, all of your partitions went anyway.

    Hello

    During the installation of Windows 7 or 8.1 using a USB stick - get the message "cannot be installed, it is a GPT partition.

    I have 64 bit install discs for Win 7 and Win 8.1. These two install on my desktop in duel boot. I made a Flash DRIVE of each disk so I can install it more quickly.

    Problem: I get the cannot install because it is a GPT partition.

    Y at - there no way to make these 2 USB sticks work?

    Thank you, Brad

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    Your computer does not have Microsoft's Downgrade rights and you must buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid Microsoft COA and product key.

    The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    If you install Windows 7 from a USB and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '.

    In addition, as the factory hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Question about the installation of Win XP on Satellite Pro P200

    Hello

    I have a lot of problems with Vista. First it took me a week to install my printer WiFi. (sollution: install local lpt1 as the printer, change port properties en gives a location network (computer/printername).)
    Last problem: vista give no right to copy my USB hd protable with xp files.

    Finally, I lost all hope and want to go back to xp.

    Is there anyone with experience in the installation of win xp on this laptop. And is it possible to tell me the steps that you have been taken to do so.
    Are there concerns as none have some drivers, things that do not work or problems with sata hd.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's a difficult topic-> XP on Vista machines.

    First: Yes, you can install XP on it because all the important factors are available (VGA, SATA, wireless, XP BIOS, BLUETOOTH) and that should be enough.

    Because your computer has a BIOS for Vista (I guess there a) Please install the BIOS XP first and then start the installation of XP. In the case that your HARD drive is not recognized then you need to install the SATA driver during the installation of windows XP. The procedure is described in the statement of the Satellite L40-> XP installation, so if you want to install and problems SATA (HDD, not during the XP installation), you must check the installation instructions for Windows XP for a SATELLITE L40!

    If you have additional questions, I recommend allows you to place your question here before doing something that may stop your nerves later. :)

  • HP T610 more: HPDM deployment for t610 image more crashes during the installation of the new initial start of the image

    We are working on the update of our thin clients HP T610 more.  Update us the thin clients in the last image of the OS WES7P and also update to IE11 and Citrix receiver 4.4.

    We use HPDM 4.6.4

    We have successfully several T610s and update the image of the OS and related software with no problems.  We are then able to use the 4.6.4 to successfully shoot HPDM and image of these thin clients updated in the master repository.

    We then create a task to deploy the new image to several thin clients.  We configure the task to use the imagery being cached, and then run the task.  HPDM then successfully deploys the image for thin clients.

    Customers accept the image cache and once the image is fully downloaded they restart to deploy the image.   After the restart, the image unfolds and decompresses correctly, then the thin client, start the original installation of Windows.

    But for 90% or more of these newly imaged thin clients that they get hung up during the installation of Windows (usually during the message that windows is written to the Registry).  Once the thin clients get hung at this stage they are inaccessible and unrecoverable by HPDM and must be copied via USB.

    We believe that the issue is somehow related monitors are connected to thin clients.  If isolate us completely thin clients monitors, then deploy an image the new image is OK.  HPDM reports that the image has been deployed successfully.  If we then go back to thin clients and reconnect the monitors of the thin client is updated and the screen seems to be in standard vga mode low resolution.  A restart of the thin client then recognizes and sets the appropriate screen resolution, and the thin client is good to go.

    What is normal sound monitors must be separated to deploy a new image?

    Thanks for any idea or thougts.

    From the point of view HPDM, disconnect monitor is not required when you deploy the image. Personal thought is that there is a compatibility problem between the display driver, graphics card and the system. Installing Windows intend to write a default registry value based on connected monitor (maybe display settings), for some reason, he was stuck. I'm not the driver or the operating system that you are an expert, I would say that you submit a ticket to HP for additional troubleshooting.
