  • How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

    Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

    I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

    I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

    How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

    It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

    I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

    I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

    Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

    I look forward to your reply.

    Hi, Malcolm

    For this model of laptop, it is quite complicated because the STRANGE is from both sides. First you must remove the small screw placed in the Middle near the coverage of memory in the lower corner of your laptop (also near the cooling rack). The STRANGE is also secured with small hook placed under the keyboard.

    At the right place of this small hook is not known but I know that it is placed somewhere under the keyboard. I don't really know what you need to do. Have you already tried to remove the keyboard?

    I have to be honest and it's not so easy to give instructions here because I don't know if you're familiar with the disassembly. I don't want damage you something on your laptop. Small error can ends with a broken plastic cover. Please be careful.

  • several operating systems on my laptop... I installed two windows 7 operating systems... How to remove the old operating system.

    Hello

    I installed windows 7 on my laptop but it did not work properly. Still, I installed windows 7 but it did not drive partitions.

    It will automatically take the disk partitions. program files recent operating system (windows 7) are in the D drive.

    I have two questions.

    1. How do I uninstall the previous windows 7 (these program files are in the C drive).

    2. how windows 7 current (drive D) program files in the C drive.

    Please help with these issues.

    Thanking you.

    Sorry, you can't move the current from D: to C: operating system because the registry contains countless references to D: all would be wrong.

    Removal of unwanted operating system is possible, but risky. It is best done by an expert who has the necessary experience and tools. He would need them in case the machine becomes unbootable longer after cleaning.

    Your best bet is to start all over again. Back up your data, and then let the drive be formatted during the installation process.

    My work e-mail account requires that I change the password every 90 days. I had to do this last Friday. I also changed the password of e-mail. Now I keep getting locked on the account due to the fact that Mail continues to try to connect with the old password instead of a new. Where the previous passwords are stored, and how can I remove them?

    Passwords are saved in the Keychain application located in your Utilities folder. You can search for passwords here. Normally when you change the password of an account, it needs to update this info in the keychain also unless you change other information like the name of the server.

    Quit Mail, find the passwords for the incoming server and outgoing for the account. Remove them in Keychain Access. Open Mail and provide the password when asked.

  • How can I reinstall the original operating system was on my Fujitsu Lifebook without the CD?

    I have a Fujitsu Lifebook series S, model S7211, and I had a bug on the computer, so I had to reinstall the OS, but my computer never came with a disc as it was a gift, so I had to install another OS that was intended for another computer, a DELL computer. I noticed right away that some of the functions that the computer was previously working is no longer, and it doesn't bother me at first, but now my computer seems to run slower, and I wanted to find a way to reinstall the original OS. I have the product key, but I can't find a way to download Windows Vista business on the Windows website.

    Can someone direct me to a download link or the part of the windows Web site I where can I enter my product key and to create a disk so I can install it?

    Hello

    You cannot use a Dell disk on a Fujitsu laptop.

    There are several ways to reinstall Vista, see what you can use..

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there may always be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
