How can I get my computer to stay awake any longer?

My computer is asleep after a few minutes. Then I have to enter a password to reactivate. I want to be able to change the settings for a time of sleep of my choice. I don't want to have to enter a password every time I wake up the computer.

Right-click in the battery icon in the system tray > power options > change the time.

    Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

    How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

    I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

    Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

    Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

  • How can I get my computer to use my second drive?

    I went to my computer and saw that I have 2 hard drives, each written that they have about 70 GB. Is this really true I have 140 GB in total? If so, how can I get my computer to use my other drive. I'm sorry if I wrote it in the wrong section.

    Hello Mathieu,

    Yes, there is a way, but there are "attacking" the drive so that the computer knows where it is. Who also encourages you to understand how you want to use the drive. Most people put their operating system and programs on a disk, the disk 'C' (C:\BootDrive would be an example) and to put their data on a second disk, the disk "D" files (D:\DataDrive would be an example).

    Once you've got it organized on paper (or in your head), to be labelled and / or format the drive. You can use the mechanism in the post following blue microwave, or you can use the freeware Aomei Partition Assistant application, which will be the ID and label and / or format your drive, according to what is needed. Download the app here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link).

    Once installed, you select the drive in question and select Properties, which will tell you the status of your order and options to your need to work with her. For example, if its not allocated, you will need to return it, format it and assign a drive letter. Or he may have already assigned a drive letter and just need to be formatted to be used. Or it may be already in. The program will tell you what you have and what you need to do as your next step.

    Let me know what instructions to proceed to the next step.

    Kind regards

  • How can I get my computer to recognize this boot disk?

    Hello

    I followed the instructions on how to create an installer for OS X El Capitan bootable. I've set up on a USB key.

    But how do I get my computer to recognize it as a bootable disk? If I go into system under the startup disk Preferences, it is not there. If I restart the machine by pressing the Option key, it does not an option to boot from the USB key.

    What should I do to get my machine to recognize it as a bootable disk?

    The reason why I'm trying to do this is so I can disassemble the hard drive and run the disc utilities. Is there an easier way to do it?

    Thank you

    Bruce Fairbanks

    Well, you can always use the recovery mode: starting with the down command + R right after the chime. Hold down the keys until you see a progress bar. Take some time to connect to the Apple servers. When you see a utility window, choose disk utility to check your drive.

    What is the problem with your hard drive?

    With regard to your USB key: what instructions did you use? You formatait the thing first of all it is bootable? I him did not because I prefer the bootable clones, so I can't be specific help with this.
