delete a partition on my hard drive that was originally set up by the manufacturer as a backup drive hard to label.

I hope I am posting this on the forum,

I want to delete a partition on my hard drive that was originally set up by the manufacturer as a backup drive hard to label.

I went into computer management console & know that the primary partition - drive C system, boot, pagefile, active lists, dump incident & main partition in brackets but I don't know about the virtual memory paging file. No, there is some data on it. I've been saving the other partition - C drive on an external hard drive.

I know that I have to back up this data but where I should come back to? And why is it called (Primary Partition) when it is used only as a return to the top by car?

I'm only wanting to do because I'm running out of space on my drive C & D drive are the same size! 143 GB & 139.5 GB

I have a laptop of Acer 6930

Window Vista Home Premium Service pack 2

Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 2 GHz

4 GB OF RAM DDR

Hello

D: is not a partition backup of your machine.

Acer has a time set up their machines to the way yours is:

They had a C: drive for the operating system, a drive D: for data (music, movies, etc you would like to register and a recovery partition 'hidden' to reinstall the operating system and to make the recovery discs to do the same thing.)

You can merge C: and D: as a whole, BUT save all data on D: first because it will be deleted when you merge.

And YES, you back up the data on an external hard drive in case of hard drive failure, the corruption of the system, etc.

See you soon.

  • I backed up my playlists M3U files before setting up a new computer, but even if music files are there, the playlists now show only a part of the music that was originally in the playlists. How can I get my playlists to work properly?

    Sorry in advance for the description potentially lengthy below.

    I have the latest version of iTunes on a Windows 10 computer with a processor i5, 8 GB of RAM and a lot of storage capacity.

    I recently updated my computer to the above specifications and installed a new SSD as my main and kept my old C drive as a new drive E drive.

    I backed up all my iTunes playlists as .m3u files export.

    Now that I have set up my computer and installed the latest version of iTunes (I think that I initially ran 9? Or?), my playlists import OK, but the majority of the songs that were in each playlist are not displayed, even if they are there when I see everything in 'My music', and they are in my iTunes folder.

    The selections are saved correctly I would say. When I opened the files as text files to check .m3u, good song lists are all in tact and the songs that do not appear in iTunes imported playlists are there in the .m3u.

    I tried to re - import playlists, as well as the copy of my music files to my different readers (including the same drive as the .m3u links to and those that they do not). Nothing seems to work. I spent years of compiling playlists are now empty or almost empty, and I can't find a reasonable solution to fix it.

    Must the .m3u files be .xml files? Is this a bug between versions of iTunes?

    Not sure if it's relevant, but my iPod Touch still has playlists on it. I hesitate to plug them in and try to sync because I don't want them crushed.

    Any help would be great, if you please.

    I really want to rebuild my entire library of playlists of text files.

    Thank you

    "Backup" individual playlists is not necessary and probably will not work in all cases.  All selections are stored in the iTunes (iTunes Library.itl) database and all approaches successful transfer, reproduce or modify your library depends on manipulation of this file correctly.

    If you haven't changed anything on the E: drive, you have nothing more that hold down the SHIFT key at startup of iTunes, then when you see this message:

    Select the iTunes (the file iTunes Library.itl ) on your E: drive database - if you use default iTunes, this will be in E:\Users\username\Music\iTunes.

  • How to reinstall Norton Internet Security that was originally installed

    Hello!
    I have a Satellite M40-148 and I need to reinstall Norton Internet Security that was installed initially. I have the DVD-rom of recovery of the product, the additional software CD and I still have the TOOLCD directory, but I can't find the application of Norton.
    Can someone tell me how to?
    Best regards and thanks - Steen

    Hi Steen,

    If your copy of NIS was originally installed when you got your laptop then it will probably have been included on the DVD of recovery in which case there is no way in which you can extract it without performing a reinstall full of your operating system.

    In my case, NIS was delivered on a CD separate provided by people who I bought the laptop so I can re - install from there without a full system restore.

    You could, of course, back up your data and then re - build your original recovery DVD system (just finished it on my A30), and this will give you a good clean system without any of the inevitable clutter that can accumulate.

  • My LR window expands and I do not see the icons of red circle, yellow, green for the dimensioning of the control window.  Is there a setting that was accidentally set to cause this?

    Hello

    I have an iMac.  Last week, I noticed that when I open LR, it is enlarged.  So I can't use my cursor to resize the window as I want.  In addition, I see the usual icons of red green, yellow at the top left to maximize, minimize or close the window.  Is there a setting in LR or on my Mac settings that could cause this?  No other app on my Mac is expanded like this, even Photoshop.  It drives me crazy because I can't even move the display window from one monitor to the other for flexibility.  Help!

    Thank you

It was the same story this morning, the appearance was back to default and my themes had disappeared. If I stay connected to the internet my themes remain the same. I have no problem with the preview of themes they will not just stay put when I turn off my computer. This is the only problem I have encountered since I've been using Firefox.

    You will need to check the line user_pref ("lightweightThemes.usedThemes", < pref data >) to see is something changed in the data stores installed light themes and compare this line in the current prefs.js file with the corresponding line in the backup of the prefs.js.
