Each disk partition requires an OS installed for the programs installed in it to work?

My PC HP Media Center m7760n, provided with the hard drive partitioned into three sections. For the operation of recovery (to drive "D"), and the other two sections labeled as 'C' and 'E' drive by car. I have Vista Home Premium loaded in the 'C' drive, as well as several MS Office applications and documents management software. I have a software game that I want to load into the drive 'E '. I need to install an operating system in the 'E' drive to run the software it contains, or may the computer uses the operating system already installed on the drive "C"? It's probably clear as mud, but I hope someone can help me.

LL, each partition on a hard disk is identical to a separate hard drive.  You can install games on one without an operating system.  However, some games will automatically install to the C:\ drive.  How to install to E: is to use "custom installation".  This will allow you to choose where you want the game to install.

I have two separate hard drives in my computer.  I use the second hard drive to install any software that is not related to the operating system.  I have installed on C:\ are programs, for example, anti-virus, malware, etc.  They work directly with the operating system.

    Hi Bernice,

    OK, if the drive is inside your computer, making it a hard drive internal and it should get good results for your images and the catalog.

    You've optimized your catalog?  Use the file... Catalog to open the Catalog Manager.  Select your catalog below and hit the 'repair' button (choose 'Repair anyway' If you get this prompt).  Then do the same with the button 'optimize '.

  • If I have not access to the disk partition hard base would impact on the installation of a complete operating system?

    Original title: TPG Server petition.

    I wanted to know if I di not actually have access to the disk partition hard base would impact on the installation of a complete operating system of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit? Instead of having a computer with a complete installation of windows mine came with versions of WinPE OEM, NT and MCE. The GPT partition server that I can see is protected. Partial operating systems seem to be installed on network disk Volumes. I think that what I have to do down the disk hard real all delete and start again but I'm having a problem to see what is all about the drive through programs and remove what I find. He also seems to have a certain type of script hidden BIOS more wrinkles to retail and canceling all decisions on versions of the oem .cfg files. She configures and installs the server instead of windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit server software. The installation gives the highest administrative authority to the network administrators who I don't know and have never met and to manage my personal laptop. It creates a serious problem when I want to use my computer for one purpose and that some people I don't know and have never met want me to use my computer for something else.

  • Installation Partition problem (allocated too expensive for the Service Console?)

    Installation Partition problem (allocated too expensive for the Service Console?)

    RAID1 (15K 146 GB SAS) on Dell R710 and VMFS is on table EQL.

    What I did during the ESX4.1 excavation, it's that I have used ALL the space in 146 GB (mainly for / and / var), after adding this ESX host to vCenter, VC and EQL ASM/VE started to complain about the following points:

    1 VC: health check of localstorage warning (only has 245 MB left on 146SAS localstorage)

    2 EQL ASM/VE: warning rootFolder folder (due to the above)

    I thought that he is authorized to use all the space for / (50 GB) and / var (50 GB) in my case for only 146 GB, I don't think I need to leave any space on the installation disc.

    Could someone share some lights here?

    Thank you

    As you can see SDS use all the SDC VMFS partition space.

    This create the alarm.

    The thing really confused me why I have to leave a space on the disk at all?

    Technically there is no reason to let the space... but also no reason to have a big service console

    Usually, you need 10 to 20% free space for each snapshot data store and Exchange files... but in your case, you will not have these files.

    If you have any problems, but you receive the alarm until you do not disable them on this specific data store.

    PS: I suggest you switch to ESXi, is quite simple and it doesn't have this strange vmdk for the "console".

  • A software says I need 4 MB of VM set aside for the program to run.

    Original title: virtual memory.

    How to set 4 MB of virtual memory in windows xp? A software says I need 4 MB of VM set aside for the program to run.

    Hi KennethBrasel,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community where you can find all the answers related to windows.

    According to the description provided, looks that you receive a virtual memory message when installing a program on Windows XP computer.

    By default, the virtual memory paging file that is created during installation is 1.5 times the physical RAM on your computer. Therefore, a computer that has 1 GB of RAM installed will have 1.5 GB of virtual memory.

    You can manually change the size of the swap file to make it larger or smaller. You can also optimize virtual memory use by dividing the space of files between multiple drives and by removing the disks slow or very open space.

    He would be grateful if you can answer this question in order to help you further.

    1. What is the size of your RAM memory?
    2 are. what program you referring?

    I suggest you try the following steps to change the virtual memory:

    a. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.

    b. in the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

    (c) in the results pane, click settings.

    d. in the performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

    e. in the virtual memory section, click on change.

    f. change the initial size value and the value of maximum size to a higher value, click on set and then click OK.

    g. click OK to close the performance Options dialog box and then click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.

    Note: With virtual memory, the computer can use the hard drive as memory (RAM) space. The computer uses virtual memory to increase the ordinary RAM that is installed on the computer. If you reduce the size of the pagefile, some the program may not start correctly or may not start at all. This problem may occur even if the computer has plenty of RAM.

    If you need Windows guru, do not hesitate to post your questions and we will be happy to help you.
