G3 has 2 files systems, what is safe to delete?

The disc on the G3 has 4 partitions and system folder appears on both1 and 2. What is the best / safest to remove? Or, conversely, how can I determine of start-up of the drive, it accesses the boot, and it's OK to trash just the other? Thank you & Happy New Year!

If the two are identical, then it is not serious. Otherwise, delete the one that you don't use. The startup disk is selected in the startup disk preferences. Alternatively, you can keep it as a spare part.

  • Could you give me a list of what is safe to delete Windows XP?

    Could you give me a list of what is safe to delete Windows XP?

    This isn't a list of "programs".  This is a list of files and folders which many (more?) are Windows system files that should not be deleted.

    You can Google these names as easily as possible, although some names are completely ambiguous without the rest of the way - for example, _default and configuration could be anything. Panther looks like it is related to your Mac.

    You must uninstall programs ONLY by using the control panel > add / remove software.  Do not delete random files and folders.

    Download and run JDiskReport... and then you can see what's worth worrying in terms of size.

    If your Windows system is running slowly, it is quite possible that you have been infected by malicious software.  What antivirus application on side Windows do you use?  His subscription is up to date? The subscription has already lapsed?

    Hello

    This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
    computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
    for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.

    =============================================================

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  • file system what is cdfs

    Hello Sir what is cdfs file system and how we con formats?

    Thank you

    Hi Faizur Rehman,

    The CDFS file system, which means 'Compact disc file system', is used in CD especially with operating systems open source. Formatting of a CD that uses the CDFS file system is performed in the same way as with a CD using NTFS or any other file system. Formatting will erase the data on the CD and reorganize data sectors.

  • (Repair) virus killed file system; What is the best way to rebuild the system?

    System of Vista Business 32 bit SP2 from my child was hit in the wrong by a virus; When you run the repair virsu he deleted system files infected and he now gets repeat BSOD.

    No, the Startup Repair is not going to fix the system, and the virus seems to have killed all the restore points. also can not get SFC / SCANNOW to run correctly.

    So: I went to (a huge field of) struggling to set up a Slipstream installation DVD of Vista SP2 (since the original installation disc supplied with the system was only vanilla Vista).  I thought that I could load that and select the 'Upgrade' option and simply rebuild the Windows system, keeping all my programs and data.

    But no, after loading, the system informed me that "upgrade has been disabled", as well as the comment for clarification: "-to update, launch the windows installation"-that sure I can "t do since I can't display the corrupt system virus even in safe mode.

    SO - I have a few questions:

    (1) FIRST: was first my hypothesis?  In other words, if I COULD bring up Windows on the machine damaged (even if only in safe mode), would be the upgrade, go ahead and work - whereas the old system corrupted virus was also VISTA SP2?  Or - the installation would inform me that he could NOT make an upgrade because it would detect that the previous version was indeed also VISTA SP2 and therefore "knowledge" that he could not (really) do an upgrade?

    (2) assuming that the answer to #1 is 'yes', then: is there a version of Vista Installable (same one I might need to buy) that could make the upgrade, even if the Windows system being upgraded can not come?  IF this is NOT the case: what is an installable version upgrade of Windows 7?  or it is the sad reality that no matter what version of Windows I buy, I can't choose the 'Upgrade' option unless the installation is load/run Windows on the upgraded system?

    From previous posts, I have all kinds of good advice on how to retrieve data on corrupted system files, so if there is no other alternative, I'll do it - but this is my last resort because:

    b its a lot of your time working are going to extract all the files and

    (b) his work even more of your time then having to charge all third party software (including some I have no disks to install for more) if I find myself

    having to do a clean install of Windows.

    So, if there is no alternative to an upgrade - if I have to shell out some $$ for a new version of Windows, I prefer to do that.

    Appreciate all advice-

    Hello RDougShelton,

    Take a look at the following article:

    Cleaning a compromised system
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

    If there is a virus on that system, in other words, there is no way to be always sure that she has been completely removed outside of the shaping machine and put it back.

    There is no guarantee that an inplace upgrade will fix this problem.

    I recommend to backup your data you mentioned in your original post.

    Best regards

  • I - delta.vmdk files, non - .vmsn files. It is safe to delete all the snapshots in snapshot Manager?

    Hello

    Our VM froze because our ESXi data store is full. I deleted - .vmsn for the 1st file snapshot via CLI (using the "rm" command).

    VM is on thick disk and have 2 snapshots. so I still - flat.vmdk, - delta.vmdk. (for the two snapshots) and - .vmsn (only for the 2nd snapshot).

    wouldn't be all right if I delete all the snapshots in snapshot Manager? ATM, we don't have that 8 GB on the data store, and snapshot size is approximately 67GB

    Thank you

    Dan

    The lack of . VMSN file shouldn't cause problems because it is necessary in case you want to or need to go back to a snapshot. In all cases, with only 8 GB of free space on the disk, you can consider deleting the snapshot with the virtual machine being turned off. This avoids the need for disk space temporary additional database snapshots while / delta are merged into the base/flat disc.

  • File system 8330 blackBerry Smartphones?

    Once the attachment is open... y UO will then be able to view the attachment

    In C:\Documents&Settings\username\, there is a hidden folder named Local Settings, and to whom a Temp folder with many files. It is safe to delete these files?

    Yes.  In fact, if you are using disk cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK) it will delete all files in this directory that have been consulted at least 7 days ago.

    You can go directly to this folder by typing the folder in the start menu > run box and click OK.

    I look forward to hear from you.

    Thank you

    Hi, Dr.,

    Volumes that contain file system errors are known as Sales. To indicate that a file system problem has occurred and that the volume is dirty, Windows XP Professional displays a message similar to the following when you try to open, delete, or rename a file or folder by using Microsoft Windows Explorer or the command prompt:

    Autochk runs if the volume is marked as modified.

    If the file system has marked the volume as dirty, Autochk runs the Startup Repair process. Volumes are marked as dirty, when the file system detects an error on the volume. If Autochk detects a dirty volume, it provides a delay of 10 seconds, and then starts the repair process. If you cancel Autochk when a volume is dirty, Autochk tries to run again after a 10 second delay every time the computer is restarted.

    See Chkdsk for all the necessary explanations:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457122.aspx

    Run the Dell Diagnostics to check the drive failure.  If the disc is a failure, it must be replaced.

  • chkdisk-type of file system is NTFS, the volume is dirty, what it means

    When I turn on my computer, I see the following: file system to check on C: the type of the file system is NTFS, the volume is dirty.  What does that mean?

    A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

    When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not be deleted, you could tell XP to check everything just do not.

    If the starting XP detects the volume is dirty, it will automatically run the disk with error correction (chkdsk/p) check and try to fix the problems detected.

    You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

    This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

    You also won't solve this problem by editing your registry database - not where is the problem.

    Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

    If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

    If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit.

    Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

    When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you have chosen to do the chkdsk command yourself, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log to see what happened and no problems after running chkdsk.

    To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Winlogon
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 1001
    Date: 04/08/2010

    Description:

    Please wait while your computer restarts.

    The dirty bit fade not until chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p) tracks clean when the system reboots (as in the example) or when you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console.

    If for some reason chkdsk will not erase the dirty, you say XP never check the bit of impurity of a player, but that will not set your fault of potentially hard drive, or he could be the player just needs have chkdsk to run on it for some other recoverable error condition.

    A simple power interruption is something that could result in a disc was marked as dirty.

    The event log is where you need to look to see what to do about it.
