How can I remove old hard disk system folders?

"CREATOR OWNER" rights on the system folders.

I used to run XP on my old drive, then I got a new drive and installed win7 on it, and now I need space on the other disk, so I wanted to delete the WINDOWS folder and program files, but I couldn't, because this requires rights to 'creator owner '. I tried in many ways, as closing explore and try to erase it and giving me full rights by using the command prompt, but nothing helps...

I have can´t format the drive because I filled it with other files
TL:Dr: need to creator owner rights on folders system on a different drive so I can delete to save space.

  • How can I remove a hard disk to the raid set default and replace it with a new one

    Last Friday apparently began one of my raid drives failing.

    As I said on this forum I started having continuous beep.

    I was finally able to get the raid works at a degraded level.  I ordered a replacement hard drive, that happened today.

    (In the meantime, I made twice daily backups of my work...)

    Below is the message that I have the raid of browser-based software:

    Blahblah 09 1000,2 GB RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ

    At any given time when I did the checked the browser interface, I have seen the message failed and degraded

    As I said, I was able to work this weekend on the degraded system.

    This morning I had the new tone and made the rescue and now I use a "full raid" without the advice that a raid was 'free '.

    In all cases, the new drive arrived today.

    Should what precautions I take to integrate the new drive in the raid system.

    I have an OS disk

    and raid 4 TB drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one I get today.

    Thank you

    Rowby,

    You currently have your background priority set to 20% IIRC, so it will take time to rebuild, but probably a lot less than 24 hours as for new construction. Even with 20% defined, I guess that it will be done in less than 12 hours, but you can set the background priority to 50% and it will be much faster at the expense of access to your raid. Reconstruction of the background is designed to give you access to all your data files and to continue the work, while the data is being rebuilt. You can continue your work, so if it takes 8 or 12 hours to find the full data intergrity isn't all that relevant. Your aura a functional slower than with a raid reaction complete, but has more speed than a single disk.

  • How can I remove an unwanted operating system to free up space on my HARD disk almost full

    The drive is about 75 GB and has two partitions (C: and D readers :). There is a version of Vista on each partition.  My ultimate goal is to reformat the drive as one partition and reload the operating system, but I have found no way of formatting of disks, holding Vista. Help, please.

    Hello 771,

    I don't understand why Windows Disk manager would not allow a partition deletion or reformatting. I use this option during all this time without any problem of "system folders" etc.

    Take a look at these two links to my website and see if they help you:

    http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/format_partition_using_vista_dvd.htm

    http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/delete_a_partition_using_the_vista_dvd.htm

    Otherwise, you should eb able to erase/format the partition by using a part of htird partitioning application as Paragon Hard Disk manager or something similar.

    Paragon do a free Partition Manager (Paragon Partition Manager 11 free), check out the link below.

    Hello

    1. you are trying to attach an internal hard drive?

    You may need to contact the device manufacturer for more information on the physical connection and the BIOS (Basic input output) configuration when you fix the hard disk.

    Note:

    BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Once you configure the hard drive in the BIOS, you can consult the links below for more information about how to partition and format a hard disk using the Windows XP Setup program

  • How can I wipe old hard drive from the laptop of computer death without jeopardizing the new laptop?

    I got a laptop HP who died - apparently the motherboard is bad.  I have to return the laptop to HP for replacement.  I bought equipment to connect the old hard drive to my new laptop via a USB cable and have recovered files that I need, but I want to erase the old drive hard until I got back.

    There seems to be a lot of variation in the hard drive, programs wiping, and I was wondering if someone could point me to one that could fit here.  I am concerned about the running software on my work to access the old hard drive and accidentally damage my portable hard drive to work laptop.  Who is?

    Thanks for the tips.

  • How can I remove the empty address book folders?

    Export and import of my collected folders and personal address, I first tried to export and import the folder "AddressBook" no address could be copied from high level, so it created new empty folders of collected and personal address on my new computer. Then I exported and imported the collected individual records and personal address from my old computer to my new computer which uses Windows 10.

    The problem is that my new computer has now two folders named collected addresses, a vacuum with a capital "A" address and another with a lower case 'a' address and two folders named personal address book, a vacuum with a great book 'B' and another which addresses has a tiny 'b' book in his name.

    I tried to delete empty folders by selecting a vacuum and by going to Edit | Book addresses to delete and left click on it, but nothing happens. The empty folder is not deleted. Perhaps thinking that they had protected the names, I tried to change the names of empty folders to different names, but failed to do so. (I change the name of a folder to group e-mail address).

    How can I delete the two folders to empty address book? If this is not possible, then how can it change their names 'Empty' to so I don't select them in the future? Thank you.

    have you tried dragging them

    or this add-om https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html

    The add-on provides an option to import and export native files of MAB. So, you can replace an address book with another. No export and import required.

    then go to your old install and locate the (PAB) abook.mab and History.mab (collected addresses) or use the add-on or close Thunderbird and replace the vacuum with a full tank.
