How to remove the partition of data (D) on the Toshiba Satellite

Hi, I have a Toshiba C660, which is part of the series of satellites. I got my laptop yesterday and while I was looking at the capacity of the hard drive that I have seen that there are 2 partitions. A partition is my C drive and the other is my D drive, drive D is called 'data' and I double click on the folder, there is a folder named "HDD Recovery." Is it not possible to delete this partition, because I don't think that this partition is necessary and I'd like to expand my C drive using the D drive space.

Thank you

Partition D, your description, would appear to be a recovery partition. If so, it is provided so that the computer can be recovered/restored to the State it's in when the computer was delivered to you.

If you have other means in place to make this (backups of the entire system to storsge external, for example), the partition could be deleted and the space used for other purposes. If you do not have such a plan for backup in place, you can delete it anyway - it's your computer. However, it would be unwise, in my opinion - but it's not my computer.

Happy computing and good luck.

    No, you can never remove the component "hour" of a DATE.

    If you do not want to display a date in time (display purposes only!), use TO_CHAR to "transform" the DATE to a string with the format mask

    SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi'
      2  /
    
    Session altered.

  • How to remove the windows vista backup

    I have 2 drives, C: (69.2 GB) all system files. D: (65.7 GB) a backup & my data. I want to install a new s/w of 12 GB in D:, but its low memory(10.5MB) showing.

Can someone please tell me, how to remove the full backup.

    Hi kisna234567,

    ·         You get the error message?

    The main objective of the Windows backup and Restore Center is to save the data either automatically in according to the schedule or manually when you want to save data. It is not designed to replace the old data with the new data. Just backup and Restore Center totals with new data every time, and would not remove the old files.

    You can backup the old files and folders to storage device as the external hard drive, CD, DVD, USB flash drives and removes the backup files of the computer. You can format the backup partition.

    Caution:

    ·         Formatting a volume will destroy all data on the partition. Be sure to make backups of all the data to save before you begin.

    ·         You cannot format a disk or partition that is currently in use, including the partition that contains Windows.

    ·         Quick format is a formatting option that creates a new file table, but do not completely overwrite or erase the volume. A quick format is much faster than a normal format, which fully erases the existing data on the volume.

    Follow these steps:

    (a) open computer management by clicking the Start button, select Control Panel, click system and Maintenance, click Administrative Toolsand then double-click computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (b) in the Navigation pane, under storage, click disk management.

    (c) right click on the volume that you want to format, and then click format.

    (d) to format the volume with the default settings, in the format dialog box, click OK, and then click OK again.

    For reference: create and format a hard disk partition.

    any ideas on how to remove the software malicious zebrouss?

    This thing I replaces my setting of search in safari - can get rid of it - don't know who got it

    You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Save all data first.

    Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.

    If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

    If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

    If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.

    This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

    Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

    If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

    Step 1

    Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

    If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

    Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

    Leave the case open for now.

    Step 2

    Do as in step 1 with this line:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

    Step 3

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

    Step 4

    Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

    Step 5

    If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

  • How to remove the Exploit: Win32 / CVE-2010-3336

    Original title: Exploit: Win32 / CVE-2010-3336

    Does anyone know how to remove the Exploit: Win32 / CVE-2010-3336?

    Hi Bob,

    This may be due to malicious software or viruses on the computer.

    You have security software installed on the computer?

    If you have installed security software, I suggest you run a security scan and check if it helps to remove malicious software.

    In addition, you can also run Microsoft safety scanner to search for infected files.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    See the link to download and run the Analyzer:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Please let us know if the problem still persists. We will be happy to help you.

    So I suspect there are at least one or more partitions hidden leaving 11.1 GB for hidden partitions!
    Windows is present on both drives C: & D:. In the directory windows on C:, the oldest entry is 19.12.12, 21.43 last 21.12.12, 22.50
    The first entry in the directory windows on D: is 19.12.12, 18.42 the last 21.12.12, 22.40

  • How to remove the upgrade Windows 7 Professional of D:-drive?

    I bought Windows 7 Professional Upgrade from Windows Vista Home Basic. HUGE MISTAKE! On the Microsoft Store is a nightmare. Finally, I just received a refund. Now, how do the Windows 7 on my D drive where is where idiots to the Microsoft sortore had me download in the first place. now I have vista on drive c and one broke * windows 7 on drive d. HELP, apparently, not a microsoft support t know how?

    If the Visa is still functions (you can load a running Vista), then install EasyBCD and follow the instuctions for EasyBCD listed below. When you are finished with the removal of Windows 7 in the boot (according to instructions) menu, then you can reformat the D: partition, which is where you said Windows 7 was installed.

    ================================================

    EasyBCD - how to remove the invalid entry:
    http://NeoSmart.NET/DL.php?id=1

    When you run EasyBCD, you will see the following great tabs/buttons on the left.

    (1) the display settings: displays the number of entries (bootable version valid and is no longer valid to Windows). The one marked 'default' in the version of Windows that starts if you sit and wait 30 seconds without making a selection using the keyboard. The entrance of remaining are classified by 'Name' (unless renamed all entires will call Windows 7). Drive letter represents the partition that version. If everything that you installed multiple copies of Windows 7 and Vista the path "Bootloader" will always be the same.

    (2) menu of Boot edit: four options 'Up', 'Down', 'Rename' (is very convenient if you want to see a significant name when you first start (I have 5 versions of Windows on one of my test systems, so I reamed the plain jane "Windows 7" "Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and "Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - Bt, etc." ").)
     
    The last option is "Delete", click on the entry of is no longer valid (for highlight), and click 'delete '.

    You will also see a check mark in the "default" (when 30 timeout expires) version of Windows (vista in your case), the computer will start to place a check mark to one you want to keep.

    Located at the bottom of 'edit Boot Menu' page is the time-out value, if you want automatically to your only remaining version of Windows just place a check mark in the box "Skip boot menu."

    When your done with your changes, be sure to 'Save Settings'.
