• I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.

  I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.   I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP.   So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?
  
  Thank you

  Hello

  You are welcome

  If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

  Kind regards

• How can I add on my current C drive unallocated disk space?

  Recently, I removed a partition of my Win XP laptop running.  Unlike the example of how to do it, I was unable to extend the drive C partition to new disk space unallocated.  Just try to get more space program.  Already had a split of 50% between the drives C and D.  You don't want more than one partition.

  Unfortunately, you can not do with the tools built into Windows XP.  You will need a 3rd party disk management application.

  Here are a few options in alphabetical order (some free, some not):

  Acronis Disk Director
  EASEUS Partition Manager free
  O & O Partition Manager 3

• Vista Home Premium gobble up available disk space

  Toshiba Equium a200 came with a 160 GB hard drive and a lack of space, so I replaced it with a 320 GB drive. Two low months down the line, I get a message C reader closer to its limit. Why is Vista Hungary both for hard disk space?

  Hello snakes47,

  System Restore is one of the main culprits for eating fast disk space; However, by default, System Restore can only 12% of the available disk space to store its files. You can try to disable restoring the system and then reactivating to see what percentage of disk space, you can recover. See this link from my site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/turn_off_system_restore.htm do not forget to reactivate new estore system after system restore points have been removed. Incidentally the System Restore creates a restore every day then, point we re-enabled, you can expect the space of hard disk to reduce again, but, as I have already said, only 12% of your disk space must be used. That is unless you have made changes to the amount of space allocated to system restore yourself in which case the amount you have allocated will be precedent.

  Another source is memory dumps but, again, it will happen only if you get the blue screen errors or your system is to have several errors. A free version of CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner. Install it and then run it. This will clear your dump of memory and history files, temporary internet files, and a host of other files that are not needed. TIS can help recover more space for you.

• How to find out really currently used physical memory and swap space of hard disk to the virtual computer running?

  Suppose that I'm leaving WinXP hostOS a guestOS. Then a part of this guestOS remain in physical memory and another part is deployed on hard drive in the swap file resp swap partition.

  First question: the complete *.vmdk loaded into memory/swap space or only the part that is currently required?

  Perhaps only a *.vmdk 800 MB / 3GB is really responsible. But these 800 MB could be extended to 2 GB, because the content of these 800 MB is not compressed during load or guestOS drivers allocate additional memory.

  *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

  How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

  The vmdk is not loaded into memory, because it is the drive of the virtual machine.

  *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

  Yes, of course not. The memory used by the client is not related to the size of hard but the RAM assigned in the options of hardware reviews.

  How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

  Open the Task Manager and find a task vmware - vmx.exe or vmware-vmx - debug.exe.

  The swap file should be used if you have chosen to allow that VMware Workstation is authorized to Exchange. The file where swaps to door expansion .vmem Workstation. Search folder of comments.

  I put some (cost stmts) debugging statements that print the color_space as of integer values. I gave this list

• Satellite Pro A200 how to get a Vista 64 bit of Toshiba Recovery disk

  I have a portable satellite Pro A200 computer and I would like to install Vista 64-bit.
  As I read it, you can use the 32-bit key to install the 62-bit version. Is there a way to get the "product recovery disc" in a 64-bit version.

  Or download it from somewhere

  Hello

  What OS came preinstalled on your laptop?
  If it's a 32 bit Vista OS, then you can only get a 32-bit Vista Toshiba recovery CD.

  If you want to install another OS, no matter if it of XP or Vista 64-bit, you must purchase the operating system of Microsoft.

  PS: as far as I know the key to series used for Vista 32 bit OS is only an OEM key and it does not work with other operating systems!

• Windows XP - Home Edition: what is the administrator password? Or how to find / change (OS is OEM - only have not disk) _

  Windows XP - Home Edition - SP3.
  Is there a way to know what administrator account password?

  Standard mode:

  If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

  In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

• How to add iTunes to time machine to free up disk space

  Bad idea. Where will be your backup? What will you do when your backup drive fails?

• How expand you a healthy (C:\) partition in the unallocated disk space - used to be partitioned as D:\?

  At some point in the past, someone partitioned my hard drive in C:\ = 15 GB and D:\ = 95 GB.  It is the source of the problems. I can't afford to pay someone to fix it as I became unemployed.  SO after some research, I gutted and then deleted the partition D:\. Then I went to "diskpart" in command prompt and typed "extend", thinking that would extend the C drive in the now unallocated space that used to be the partition D:\. Got mssg "part of disk cannot extend the volume. Please make sure the volume is valid for the extension. "How do I do that?  Thank you.

  As you discovered, you can't extend the system (C) partition using tools provided with Windows.  You need a third-party disk partitioning application.

• How can I ask as at least 10 GB of disk space?

  I added in increments of 10 MB of disk space for a total estimate of 30 MB.

  Is it possible to request a greater amount of disk space for my Apex (P-Track) application in order to share with the team?

  Kind regards

  -Joe

  Hey Joe,

  You can feel free to contact me directly.  So, just to set expectations, 10 GB most likely will not.  But we will be discussing (internally) what are your real needs.

  FYI - instead of use this external discussion board, you should feel free to use the link to 'Internal application Express Discussion Board', linked off the coast of the login page on the APEX instance that you are using.

  Talk to you soon!

• Virtualized temporary Internet Files eat up disk space. How can I stop this?

  Have encountered a problem of memory on my C drive and the holding of all recommendations usual cleaning only manages to free a few hundred MB. My hard drive is partitioned into a C and an E drive (each with 116 GB). I use Vista and Internet Explorer. (As far as I know, this is not a problem of RAM and my computer to not walk slowly.)

  The number of programs and files on my C drive not could represent almost 116 GB of memory, but I could find no other possible reason for my low disk space... until...

  I went to the guest orders and managed to do list all in the C drive. Then I spotted a directory which seems to contain a HUGE 94 GB of memory on the C drive. The exact name/address was as follows: C:\users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\FLVService. The list of files in this directory have been mainly youtube and almost all the other videos I've seen last year! (This folder does not appear in Windows Explorer.)

  Then, these videos are stored in virtual memory? They take place that much space? (The term 'virtual' throws me a bit). I can delete this file safely and how? And, finally, how to stop what is happening yet?

  So, thank you for reading this far and I would be really grateful for any help on this matter.

  Kevin.

  What problem you encounter when you try to delete the files?  FreeCorder has some options, you can use to purge or otherwise control the cache / repository it uses? That seems to be the easiest way to get rid of files and recover disk space.  Otherwise, uninstall (and reinstall maybe later) may present you with an option to clear the cache, the program uses.

• How to increase disk space without guest operating system reinstallation

  Hello

  I take advantage of VMWARE with linux host and vista 64 comments, but I encountered a problem, running out of disk space.

  During the installation of VISTA, I chose 25 GB of disk space, as recommneded by IG of installation).

  Now I need more space.

  According to the virtual disk manager, I did

  VMware-vdiskmanager mydisk.vmdk 40 GB - x

  increase to 40 GB. It seemed to work, as I received a message,

  "Disk expansion completed successfully."

  Now "The VM setting" windows says HD 40 GB. But internally under VISTA, disk space is always 25 GB. In fact, the size of disk file (view on the side of linux) is only 22 GB. No idea how to increase disk space. He must start from the installation, but it's a little painful.

  Thank you.

  If the guest is Vista or Windows 2008, then you should be able to extend the partition while the system is running.

  Take a look at this article: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial133.html

  Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 won't let you do that, while the disk is online.  Vista and Windows 2008 changed things.

  For versions of Windows Vista/2008, look for the Dell ExtPart.exe utility, as it will do the job for you.

  See you soon,.
