Formatting for sale - question of partition Inspiron 9100

Hi all

I looked through forums and the difficulty in finding the exact answer to my question.

I will sell my Inspiron 9100 this week - I have no CD of restoration, as it has the partition hidden for formatting/reinstalling.  However, I read that this type of format may not be to wipe my hard drive, and for data protection issues should I use external software to remove all my information on the drive - my questions so are:

What utilities to wipe the hard drive are free and easy to use?

These utilities will remove the partition to restore the system to factory State?

Of course, my main concern here is the 2nd question!

Thank you very much for any help you can offer, I'm a little trouble with this kind of things, and with the laptop sold Tuesday, I'm desperate!

Steve

    Hi, Renon,

    Thanks for posting the sample data and results; It is very useful.

    Be sure to explain exactly how you get these results from these data.  There are many different reasons you may have, that all happen to produce the same results with the sample data you posted, but will get different results with other data sets.

  • Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.

    Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.  When I got to disk utilities to erase, and then reformat the options are

    1 mac OS extended (journaled)

    2 mac OS extended (journaled, encrypted)

    3 mac OS Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled)

    4 mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled, encrypted)

    See the information below If you can not back up or restore your Mac with the help of Time Machine - Apple Support

    When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.

    • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
    • If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
  • can I save a copy of the library of Photos on a hard drive that is formatted for PC?

    I've seen several references to the requirement that a hard drive be formatted to Mac OS... but here's my situation... I back up my everyday Mac files and folders (with commands simple copy/paste) on a 2 TB disk that has been formatted for a pc. It seems to work fine for me.

    MY QUESTION - can I copy the photo library (mine is now 15G) of this same drive (even once... it is NOT formatted in OS) to provide care? Yes, I'm not going to try to "open" here but I can copy it on the Mac and do work properly. im just trying to be able to recover from a crash of my Mac.  If my Mac crashed, I won't be able to backup the library of Photos of this PC drive formatted to my new Mac, and then open it as usual.

    extra credit question: what exactly is a "library" file I see that it shows with another icon in the finder, compared to a folder or a file.  im guessing that it is some kind of package that has the hierarchy within this user every day didn't need to dive in...? but in the context of my Q... can I copy this library (from 1 location 2 location) as if it was a garden variety file?

    1. no outside a Mac OS Extended format disk image. Note that if the drive is formatted FAT32, the file size of the image must be less than 4 GB.

    2. Yes, it is.

  • Pre sale question: Officejet Pro X476dw - ink cartridges

    Hello

    I have a couple of pre sale question on the Officejet Pro X476dw - I hope you can help me with.

    I live in Denmark (EU) and in the book loads, it says that it comes with startup ink cartridges (translated from Danish). What these specifications of starter ink contains less ink than normal cartridges don't - if so - no idea how many pages they can produce before they empty?

    As to the number of products: it says CN461A - but to some websites, it is called CN461A #A80 - is this the same printer? And what does the #A80?

    The ink cartridges have an expiration date. What happens after that date: the printer will require new cartridges before it will print anything if it can damage the printer to use ink after the expiry date - or what the print quality is affected?

    Q: it comes with startup ink (translated from Danish). These start ink specifications contains less ink than normal cartridges only

    A: Yes.  It's half in full by a quarter from a new normal cartridge.  Pagecounts are all depends on a lot and what you print.

    Q: it says CN461A - but to some websites, it is called CN461A #A80

    A: the extra #A80 is probably a regional identifier.  Its basically the same printer but built with some regulation is necessary for your region as energy consumption.

    Q: the ink cartridges have an expiration date. What happens after that date

    A: the ink are deteriorating and are more likely to plug in your print heads and contacts.

    Q: the printer will require new cartridges before it will print anything

    A: not necessarily, but it is advisable to listen to your printers of warning messages

    Q: can the printer to be used after the expiry date of the ink

    R: damage, maybe not the best term.  It would cause clogs in the ink system that will require additional support.  When the hooves can not be erased then the printer may need to be replaced.

    Q: or what the quality of the print is affected?

    R: technically Yes, but the quality will be not noticeable in most cases with an outdated cartridge.  The ink won't be able to apply paper and take a nice full round, resulting in a glance more stained on a microsopic level.  Your concern should be on the maintenance of the equipment.

  • Version approved but can't post for sale

    I have sent several messages to the provider to support, but have yet to receive an answer.
    Version 2.0 of "Dual Cam Photo" my application has been approved, but I don't see a link to "post for sale.
    I had a previous version that was not approved, and the only link I see in managing products is 'Send for review' which I think is related to the CPL(a) version.

    Please help me solve this problem and after the app for sale as soon as POSSIBLE.

    I don't like on the previous version (1.8) and it would be great if that could be removed, but the main issue I'm trying to solve is to display the approved Release 2.0 for sale. It is a free application... I want people just to be able to download and use!

    I managed to solve the problem after guess what needs to be done by reading other posts with similar questions, so here's a quick summary of how to fix things if you are in the same situation:
    -I have re-released the preliminary version (the version that was not approved)
    -I looked into "Change request tickets" for the new note that was created for re-presentation.
    -I added a note (copy - paste this same post explaining my problem)

    Within an hour, my new application was rejected again, and my trusted application was "posted for sale!

  • the first purchase app app as "ready for sale".

    Hello

    I have an app ready to sell (viewer type multi-probleme) and now I have created the in-app purchase to download a folio as a matter of detail it contains.

    I read that the first time that I have in Itunes connect guide download the in-app-purchase must be the new version of the app together.

    Then, I create the brand new app - kind of Spectator: multi-question (no multi-Office with subscription) - and I did the test of the tray to sand with ipa. Everything works fine.

    But when I try to download the new version of the app I get this application Loader. Please, see the image attached

    Please, could you tell me more about these steps. Possible departure is an in-app-purchase an application like "ready to sell".

    Thank you very much

    Hi Felipe,.

    If I understand correctly, you try to get a detail question approved for an application that is already 'ready for sale', right?

    If so, you should be able to create an in-app purchase, test it on your developer build and present it to Apple without updating your application.  The language you speak of Apple is intended for those who send their app in for the first time.  It is not uncommon to also include an in-app at the time purchase.

    Hope that helps!

  • Change the Date Format for the previously imported items

    Hi, I'm a newbie to Lightroom with 3.3 being my first experience.  I looked in quite a few threads looking for my question, so I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before.

    I have recently imported/moved 45 GB of pictures in my library and changed the Format of the Date in the way that I thought that I would - I was wrong.  I imported using this format:

    2011-02-02

    So, I have hundreds of folders listed as:

    2011 02-02 148 (pics)

    2011-02-03 2 (pics)

    2011-02-15 15 (pics)

    2011-03-01 1 (pic)

    2011-03-02 30 (pics)

    etc...

    I would like to look like her to have folders roots with the years, months and days then.  I guess I need to format:

    2011/2011-02-02

    Say that it's the right format I expected to have imported with, is there a way to change this without having to delete the catalog and import it back all my photos?

    Thanks for your time

    If you want the same files under a folder parent 2011 instead of all at the same level?  You can add the 2011 folder and then drag and drop in the files LR Panel to pull those records in there.

    If you want years then month then the days you want the one with all the slashes - 03/02/2011

    That said, it's not like you're shooting a lot, then I'd go to this subject a little differently if you have piles of records to settle.  I have a folder of 2011 and simple month folders in this (01, 02, something like that) and then I would use metadata filters to find all the photos of January and drag the photos themselves in January record and repeat for the other 11 months.  Once you have done this, you can remove empty folders of day.  For small numbers, I wouldn't worry about breaking it down into a folder per day, so in the import dialog box in the future I would just select 2011/02.  You like.

    If you have changed pictures in LR yet, it would be quicker to start a new catalog and re-import and leave the LR to move them into your chosen folder structure.

  • ARTICLE source or LOCATION FOR SALE does NOT exist in ITEMS/LOCATION

    Hi all



    So far we have loaded data into flat files Demantra. When you try to test the loading of tables oracle we are faced with the following question:

    The 3 file is quite simple:

    -File element: Dm_Item_code, Dm_Item_description;

    -Location: Dm_Site_code, Dm_Site_Desc, Dm_Org_code, Dm_Org_Desc

    -Turnover: Dm_Item_Code, Dm_Site_Code, Item_Price, ActualQty, Sales_Date.



    These files are loaded in T_src_item_tmpl, t_src_loc_tmpl, t_src_sales_tmpl with the sqlldr.

    In trying to push them to Demantra on the staging tables with the load_data.bat, the process completes successfully, but all sales records are thrown into the t_src_sales_tmpl_err with the error_message_record: "source POINT or LOCATION IN SALES does not exist NOT IN ITEMS/LOCATION.



    In addition to the note ID 742246.1 guides which you tips that should check?
