Huge disk D empty and almost complete small drive C (OS) - how to start using all this emptiness?

Just got a new laptop with a 500G hard drive that came from outset partitioned in a 58 C (OS) drive and highway 397 G D. I just found out that all the files I have transferred or created will in the C drive files while D is completely empty!

That do I do first place for D drive in action, and secondly to move the relevant folders I'm already complete (my music, etc.) across from C to D?

My apologies in advance for my complete lack of technical know-how!

Nothing. He's already in action - just blank.

Do not try to move everything that is part of the operating system,
But what is your data (like music) just move there.

You do not know how to move files or folders from one location to
another? There are many ways, but one that I like:

Open computer and navigate to the file or files that you want to move.
Open computer a second time and this time navigate to the place you
you want to move the data.

You have now two instances of the open computer, one showing the "of".
place, the other place "to". In the working window 'from' select
the files or folders that you want to move. Then * right *-drag (with the)
right button of the mouse) the files or folders to the 'to' computer
window.

When you release the right mouse button, you will be asked if you
you want to copy, move, or create a shortcut. Choose "move".

  • My address bar doesn't have AutoComplete. Windows XP and it worked but not now. How to start the AutoComplete?

    My computer crashed and it was restored. I am running Windows XP and I do not re - install Firefox Aurora after the computer has been restored with the new motherboard and HDs. All my software works, but the AutoComplete is not the case. Firefox remembers my username for login and my password. It's just the AutoComplete. I have to tap completely in the name of the site. When I opened the window of the history and bookmarks, there is no entry. The yellow star in the address bar does not work. When I click it, nothing happens.

  • How to quit smoking all the void s vi before resetting digital outputs and then closing

    I have a project that contains a main VI called home screen that calls many different sub vi. I am monitoring for a press of physical button by a digital input with a DAQ Assistant on the main VI and in this case I want my program to abandon all of its VI running and reset all the digital outputs before the closure of Labview. No idea how I would go all this?

    I have attatched the basic model of what I do.

    Joelspider33 wrote:

    The problem is more to do with some of my money that VI running a DAQ Assistant using the same digital lines like the ones I'm wanting to reset and causing it to throw up an error message.

    This is why you must set the DIO AFTER all subVIs are arrested.  And to do this, you must send messages to these subVIs telling them to stop.  If done correctly, it is a very quick process.

    A friend wants to sell and transfer its CS6 (Mac) costume for me, because it uses all of its content, but I use Win', is no longer possible?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Iscu,

    Once you buy the Mac version of your friend, you can go ahead and ask for an exchange of Windows platform.

    Make sure that your friend is a "licence transfer" through Adobe. Once the "transfer license" is over, the serial number will be saved under your account and you will be the current owner of the license. Later, you can go ahead and request an exchange of your product. To learn more about the license transfer, follow the below URL:

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/transfer-product-license.html

    FYI - Swap platform is available only with the current version. Therefore if CS7 releases, you can buy a platform upgrade...

    Let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Kind regards

  • How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive? Almost complete. Says "low disk space". Thank you in advance.

    How to clean my disk overloaded space in C drive?  Almost complete.  Says "low disk space".  Thank you in advance.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Follow a few basic maintenance note.

    1.5 the tool provided in Windows to remove unwanted temporary files is disk cleanup. To access this tool select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. You must then run Disk Defragmenter.

    1.6 using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

    1.7. If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    1.8. a better alternative program to disk cleanup is cCleaner. The freeware version works well for a home user and must be downloaded from Piriform program provider:
    http://www.CCleaner.com/download

    1.9. When you open cCleaner you will see four large icons to the left of the window. Here's cleaner them, registry, tools, and Options. For routine maintenance, you normally acceding Cleaner (this is not the mentioned registry cleaner later). When using for the first time only, you can accept the default settings.

    1.10. some observations on the parameters. On my computer, I do not have the boxes before the passwords saved selected. In a less secure environment, you could check this option and set cCleaner to run automatically when the computer starts. You also cannot check the boxes in front of shortcuts from the Start Menu, desktop shortcuts and historical form. You must check the boxes according to your needs. Bad first time options causes irritating no disasters.

    1.11. the second icon that you see when you open cCleaner's registry. A reserve many experienced users have about cCleaner, it's that it comes with a registry cleaner. This tool should not be used. By using a registry cleaner, but it is the case, provides significant benefits and there is always the risk of creating insoluble system errors, which cannot be resolved by reinstalling the operating system and all that that implies. You will avoid any possible problem of not not by clicking on the Save icon.

    1.12 the third icon that you see when you open cCleaner is tools. If you click this icon, it gives you access a routine plus service options. The first two tools are uninstalled and commissioning. I do not use these tools, preferring to use other software options. The third tool is the restoration of the system, which is covered in the next paragraph. The fourth tool is Wiper Drive and you will find reviews about this tool later

    1.13 removing the system restore points can be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments. This makes it easier to hold the restore points for long periods without keeping large unwanted files, whose inflexible approach to disk cleanup fails to offer.

    1.14. you can't remove the last restore point using the cleaning disc or cCleaner. If the last restore point contains malicious software, you can turn off and then turn on system restore. This has the disadvantage that restore all points are removed when you want to keep more restore points that are not infected. How to get round this problem is to create a new restore point when you are satisfied with your computer is free of malware and then remove the infected restore point.

    1.15. in normal circumstances, you probably rarely need to use Driver wiper. However, there are situations like if you gave the computer to someone else, then the tool may be useful. Please note that the wiper Drive, opening, generates a warning message, which should not be dismissed lightly. Using wiper Drive for the wrong reason could have serious consequences.

    1.16 the fourth icon is labeled Options. Many configuration options are available here. You can configure cCleaner to run when start you but remember that this will slow down the boot. Another setting allows you to include or exclude cookies. Yet another allows files named to exclude.

  • Windows Media Center almost completely broken and ehRec.exe take 50% CPU

    My windows media center is broken. Part, but probably not all, the problem is ehRec.exe uses up to 50% of the CPU, which means that it is completely connected because I have a computer with dual-core CPU.

    Do not record scheduled recordings. Sometimes, I can't even in media center. It becomes inadmissible. Usually just after a reboot, I can enter (which starts the record if we were waiting) but not if I first have to do other things. It seems that my media center just kaput.

    I got this incomprehensible message in the case where the application log

    The description for the event (0) in Source (Media Center Scheduler) ID is not found. The local computer may not have the information necessary registry or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the option/auxsource = flag to retrieve this description; For more information, see Help and Support. The following information is part of the event: unable to write the backup file...

    There is not any other journal entries of interest, with the exception of those who say that I started a record while the show was in progress. I get those now, when I start media center just after the restart, because he wasn't already record where it should be.

    EhRec.exe sometimes stop looping. Not this time. It was looping when I started to write this and it's always a loop.

    Is it possible to reinstall completely media library? I tried to run Setup, but it blocks half the time with ehRec.exe pounding to the CPU. I see that other people have the problem of ehRec.exe (beginning around mid-August), but it doesn't seem to be a real solution to this problem.

    Remove any recent update of microsoft .net framework. I had this problem several times. The first time, he ended up reinstalling the entire system. Although I suspect that the recent update of the .net framework is the culprit, I was not skilled enough to remove it first.  This time I look for answers elsewhere and no one really had a clue. Then I removed the .net framework 4 client update and voila, problem solved. I hope it will work for you, if you don't have not messed around first with other parts of the system too. I tried scannow /sfc solution, but really... This only works if you have the most recent operating system on the disk. Many have download updates, service pack, Microsoft and therefore, cannot provide a disk with the appropriate files. Anyway, it is not the solution. Apparently, the way of downloading these updates of .net framework is important. I don't know the solution for a correct installation of updates, but do not know that the 50% CPU problem is solved EVERY time, repealing the last update. Hope this helps someone. I have certainly spent enough time and lost enough when microsoft updates, disable the operation of my computer. Unfortunately, it's the solutions we try that sealed the fate of our readers. I lost 15mos of professional documents in my records of e-mail in September of my attempts stupid to solve this problem, after that a previous update of .net framework caused my duty reinsall windows.
