How clean/remove HPA (hidden protected area) Lenovo/IBM hard disk

I have released an old hard drive to a machine breakdown T41 and want to use the drive as an extra drive (drive D) in my T43 machine.  As with all hard drives T41, there is a hidden to recovery etc. partition.  I would remove this hidden partition to create more space on the old disk T41.  How can I do this? MUCHAS Gracias in advance

I think you're confusing two different standards of measurement. Hardrive manufacturers measure readers in bytes with 1000 k = 1000 k = m, 1000 m = g, but the windows operating system counts with exponants, if k = 1024 (2 to the 10th power).

A 40 GB hard drive will be approximately 40,000,000,000 bytes, but the operating system sees about 37,25 Go. I know it's confusing, but if my explanation does not clear, so suffice to say there are two different things and you don't miss anything

    How to remove temporary files, waiting to be written to disk when the computer starts?

    Hi Reasman,

    Welcome to the Microsoft answers site!

    To clear pending files, select the files/folders in the 'Files to add to the CD/DVD' box and press DELETE. However, if you want to delete all files, click the CD/DVD drive and select 'Clear the staging area' from the context menu.

    You can manually delete the files that are stored in the following location:

    %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning folder

    I hope this helps!

  • How to disable the file hiding (changing options for hard disk does not work)

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help me with the following problem:

    -J' need to open a file of 16 GB of content in third party software (Stata) who reads completely in memory.

    -Due to Windows caching file, necessary to get the procedure done about 32 GB cache files and Stata access physical memory.

    -As I have only 24 GB of physical RAM file is read later part of virtual memory, which leads to serious performance problems.

    I unchecked the box 'Enable write on the device cache' to my hard drive. That did not help. Is there a way to disable the Cache during PLAYBACK of files?

    Thank you very much in advance for any help!

    Tobi

    The write cache and virtual memory are different. Virtual memory is an extension of the physical memory residing on the HARD disk where Windows is installed. Normally, the virtual memory is about twice the size of the current physical memory. Write cache is an exclusive setting for external hard drives only and has no effect in internal hard drives.

    In your case, please note that full 24GO of RAM will not be allocated to the program. At least 1 GB will be reserved for windows, so the rest of the programs are moved to virtual memory, which means that the HARD drive. It is not recommended to disable virtual memory because it can cause stability problems. In addition, the files are not copied directly in memory, even if they are big. Instead, the parts of the file are available and this area, including the incremental values and material, are stored in the memory. So if all of a sudden, you access an area of the file which is very far away from the previous location, it takes time as the new area, as well as differentials and material value of a few bytes is also copied to the memory. The box of files previously displayed is erased from the memory.

    For performance improvements, you can go for the SSD, RAM with higher clock speed (must be compatible with the motherboard) as processor as well as the upgrade. However, please note that the process of accessing a file even as mentioned previously, but the speed will increase because of the higher bandwidth and the clock frequency.

    Something like that is stored in the Windows registry.  My notes:

    How to disable search history and suggestions in the search box:

    When you enter search terms in a search box of Windows 7, they are stored in the Windows registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WordWheelQuery and appear as suggestions for further research.  To remove the terms stored, remove the whole part of the registry.  To prevent the storage of search terms, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer, right-click on Explorer, right-click again and click on DWORD (32-bit) value, type DisableSearchBoxSuggestions and press ENTER.  DoubleClick DisableSearchBoxSuggestion, type 1 for the value, and then click OK.

    May I ask how go to? : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WordWheelQuery

    Never mind! I found and authorized. Thank you

  • How to remove photographs write protection?

    I am trying to copy photos to my computer and the external hard drive on a SD card, and each photo is said is "write protected" and delete, or use another disk. He is a recent problem because until a few weeks I never had this problem at all. I am running Windows XP card SD is unlocked and I use a card reader on my Dell D610 laptop. My external hard drive has all my photos on it and I used it for years with no problems whatsoever, so I'm kind of confused as to why this is happening now.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Digital images that are 'Read only' can still
    be copied... they just cannot be changed and
    saved... so it's not the problem.

    I suspect that the problem may be due to the
    number of files that are copied in the
    the root directory of the SD card.

    This limit varies depending on the size of the
    card, but it is far from full capacity
    of the card.

    Normally, this generates a dialog box stating:
    "The file or directory could not be created.

    This can be overcome by placing the files
    in the files.

    (FWIW... you may need to delete some
    files to make room for folders)

    More info... to remove the read-only status
    from a digital photo, right click on the photo and
    in the menu... Choose... Properties... Claire

  • How to remove the files that are most referenced in the catalogue

    Over the years, we have a number of files (raw files ~ 650) who withdrew from the catalog but not my hard drive. This happens mainly because I used the wrong combination. But now I am stuck how can I find and delete these files?

    Best strategy so far:

    -Use Synchronize folders to search for the missing files from the catalog

    -The re-importation of a keyword - deleteme.

    I'd really rather avoid this because I really don't want to take the risk of any chance to have these files. Any other ideas?

    See you soon

    In each of your folders in Lightroom, create a new folder and call it temp. In Lightroom, move the images that are located in the folders to temporary folders. Go to your finder and delete these images that were not moved to the temp folder. (ie. those that Lightroom was not aware of) Move images back in Lightroom, and then delete the temp folder.

    Personally, I'd go with import via synchronization of the top-level folder and then delete the images as you watch the "previous import" and get rid of all 650 photos at once. No necessary but useful keyword as a security measure.

  • x131e how to remove the Equalization function audio lenovo is preloaded windows 8

    Hello world!

    I recently bought a lenovo thinkpad x131e and after using it for a few weeks, I realized that the audio is being equalization in all programs to maintain a volume level.

    Usually, I'd be able to access the tab of development on the property page for my audio device and disable this function, but page of development has been stripped of most of its options and has only "turn off all sound effects" instead.

    Is there a way I can restore options can I disable this feature?

    Thank you!

    I see "Dolby Advanced Audio" in the Control Panel, and it has the ability to toggle the Volume Leveler.

  • How to remove the hidden link?

    I am quite experienced with Muse, but this question left me speechless. I looked at the external links from my site and realized that there is one in the footer from jeremytech.com. So I checked and it seems that it's more than just the link, but the titles as well.

    view-source_www_xtremepawn_com.png

    But I don't see such a link in Muse...

    Master_Home.png

    Any ideas why this happens? Maybe because I used something that makes this guy and he left little remaining code that muse doesn't have access to?

    It almost seems that I copied a footer he did and it changed a little bit, and granted, it's been a while since I've done this, but I remember this creation from scratch. I used another code of people to help me get work social icons, but that's all.

    Any help would be appreciated
