Deleting files facilities previous windows, using disk cleanup will disrupt the performance of windows 7?
I have very little space on the hard drive (about 7gbts) and can win 9.3gbts by removing the previous installation files. However, I don't know if I can do it without the laptop unusable. Any solid info on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
Files left by previous installations are just a backup in case something does not work
work properly after reinstalling (resettlement "repair/upgrade") and they can be deleted once
you are sure that the system works properly.
You can also save the file to an external source like DVD (files can be moved
in the groups to separate from the DVD) or disk external DRIVE as an extra precaution.

Why I can't move or delete files that have been used by Windows Movie Maker?
Why I can't move or delete files that have been used by Windows Movie Maker? How to make them free again, now that I want to use the new computer.
When you create a project in Movie Maker-.mswmm file... it
records the path to the source (photos, videos, music) files...
If you re-open the file .mswmm to re - edit source files...
are not accessible if they have been moved or deleted.If "no" re - edit project .mswmm files...
moving or deleting the source files is not a problem.If you 'are' the intention of re - edit .mswmm files but need the
source files also... just make copies and let it

When you use disk cleanup, drive D C and recovery should be included?
When you use disk cleanup should you clean disk (C) operating system, and the recovery disc D. Then on drive c must only choose th files that are already enabled as the downloaded programs files and temp. Internet files or you need to clean more options?
Do NOT run the cleaning or do anything at all on the recovery D: drive. Do not add files, defragment, compress, chkdsk, or something else. Let completely alone.
Insofar as what to remove NSB C:\ drive, this decision is entirely yours. You can add or remove options as you seem, and that you feel able to make - do as much as you can in these settings. More your cleaning, the more you'll be available and, in some cases, it can even run your computer to start, and stop faster.
I hope this helps.

But we suggest you follow these steps before moving on to Windows 7.
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

It would be a good idea to run the System File Checker tool if you have corrupted files
"How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
If SFC detects serious flaws, you may need to perform a repair upgrade Installation or relocation complete if you don't have a Vista DVD from Microsoft.
If you can borrow a DVD of Vista from Microsoft you save doing a reinstall full:

Many shots will decrease the performance of the disk?
If I have virtual machines with several photos are taken, this will affect the performance of disk for this virtual machine?
I understand that when a snapshot is taken the ordinary VMDK file becomes 'read only' and a delta file is used for the new entries. If a new snapshot is in fact the first delta file is read-only and a new one is created and so on.
If there is a VM with say, 5 photos taken a few times, then to really see what the drive look like the ESX host must focus on several files. This would decrease the overall performance disk of the virtual machine, and if so, would be a small or large difference?
Yes, this is additional logic here, but since you can run several virtual machines a few HARD drive head movements will be anyway, so it will not lead to a significant degradation.
And don't forget not, if you're going to use RAID with large number of disks (one of my stores of data is based on 16 pins RAID6) blocks will be placed on different hard drives, there is not a head movement at all.

How to delete files in C:/Windows/assembly (access denied)
Cause of uninstalls unclean, the ATI driver for my video card is corrupt, and I have to manually removeeverything with the token "90ba9c70f846762e in the folder of the Assembly. I tried almost everything I can find on the forums, but no matter what I do, I always get 'Access denied'. If I can't get this resolved, I think I'm going to reformat and do a clean install of windows or switch to nVidia, because I can't change all the settings on my GPU for this reason.
Hi FearTheCalm,
In Windows 7, you cannot delete anything of C:\Windows\Assembly.
Looks like you have not uninstalled properly the computer ATI drivers.
I suggest you contact ATI\AMD support for more information about how to completely remove the drivers for the computer.
