I have 4 partitions! Do I need them all?

I am really wanting to do a clean install of Xp Home

all completely clean my HD

but,

I can't figure out what I can and can't clean up

My current config of HD. through disc Mngmnt is as follows

(empty) Partition, Basic, fat, healthy (EISA configuration), Cap. 47 m, free 39 MB, free 82%, no fault tol., 0% overhead charge

partition (empty), basic, fat32, healthy (unknown), Cap.3.51gb, 256 MB of free, free 7%, no oblig tol. 0% overhead charge.

Local Partition c, basic, ntfs, healthy (system), cap.52.72gb, free44.75, free84%, no fault tol., 0% overhead charge.

D: backup, partition, basic, ntfs, healthy, cap.18.25bg, free17.80gb, free97%, no fault of tol. 0% overhead charge.

I already have all the necessities saved and as far as I know nothing of the rest of the HD, or I do. That's what I need to know, how can I enter in these Partitions unknowns and find out if there is something in them, I need. I don't want to go any further without knowing. However, I know that C. and d: drives can be cleaned, I wish I had this extra space among the other 2 drives well.

If someone could help me insofar as what could be in those 2 unknowns so I would be grateful.

  • I have many structures of installed Microsoft NET. Do I need them all?

    I have all the following programs on my computer: (Microsoft NET Framework 1.1, Microsoft NET Framework 2.0 SP2, Microsoft NET Framework 3.0 SP2, Microsoft NET Framework 3.5 SP1, Microsoft NET Framework 4 Client Profile, Microsoft NET Framework 4 extended)    Are all needed?

    These ".NET Frameworks" are added by applications that you install needing to run.

    Unfortunately, they are not simply "upgrades", and some applications need specific versions of the .NET Framework.  For example, an application that needs .NET 3.5 probably does not work if the only thing installed .NET 4.

    You can uninstall all or part of them, but if you do, it is likely that some applications that you have installed will stop working.   And no, I don't know an easy way to determine which applications can use the version of .NET Framework.

    Hi Rachel

    Go file > Scripts > Image Processor which opens this Panel

    It will be easier if you put all the images in a folder, you can select this folder and all the files it contains batch. The numbered sections are in the order you need to follow, so nice an easy.  Don't forget to assign a location record well, or you might struggle to find their.

    An alternative, FI you re using Windows is Irfanview.   It has more options than the Image Processor, but maybe it's a little harder to use.

  • My family in Windows XP system restore is disabled by group policy. The system cannot me to enalbe this function, despite I have a partition of my hard drive to store all backup

    When I open the System Properties dialog box, System Restore is checked, saying: she is disabled by group policy, and the system you cannot activate this option. I got a partition dedicated to my justo of hard disk to store backups and create Points of restoration with a capacity of 10 GB. How can I solve this problem?

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
    The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
    The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
    The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the Task Manager, the registry, System Restore and command prompt Editor, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Open Notepad to create a new text file:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    notebook

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Copy and paste the following lines of text into the new Notepad file.

    Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

    Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    Reboot your system and test.

    You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

    If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

    Given that your system has or has had an infection, follow up with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:

    Hello

    There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...

    http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g

    If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...

    • Pay Sony for media recovery
    • A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.

    If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...

    http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ

    .. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.

    Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...

    If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them

    If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.

    My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?

    I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  • the drive seem to have been partitioned by another utility and cannot be erased

    I have a MBP with 2 SSD. Yosemite is running on the SSD that has been partitioned 1 TB to a 150 / 850 GB volumes.

    I wanted to install Windows 10 using Boot Camp but after succesfully download Windows software support that I can not go to the next step where I have to choose a volume (Pluto). Wizard Boot Camp shows my SSD and when I chose the following warning is displayed:

    "the drive seem to have been partitioned by another utility and cannot be erased."

    I see that Pluto isn't GUID and maybe that's the problem, but there are already some data on the volume of 850 GB that I can't erase. Is there a way to fix this without destroying the data? I don't even know why Pluto doesn't have GUID in the first place...

    Thnx,

    G

    You have two entries 'Pluto '. The outermost is a volume CoreStorage group, which has two volumes, one is named Pluto, the other is TerraNova. The 512 GB of Samsung is your second physical disk. The Pluto in the BC Assistant is the complete LVG, not only the volume of Pluto, which contains also of Terra Nova.

    BCA does not support such a configuration on your MBP. You will need to backup your data or manually partition the disk and do a little terminal work, if you want to install Windows in this configuration. The second SSD will complicate it further. You may need to physically remove the disk non-windows in order to install Windows.

    Your end of 2011 Mac does not support Windows 10 as described in using 10 Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple support . You will encounter problems of pilot.

  • I have an acer laptop and need to brighten the screen... How?

    I have a laptop acer and need to brighten the screen > HOW?

    There are two options:

    • It seems that you are using Windows XP. Right-click on your desktop, click Properties, and then select the settings tab and click Advanced. There should be a tab named after that card manufacturer (Nvidia, ATI, etc.). This tab should have a button that opens a panel of controls specific to the manufacturer, which allows you to make adjustments to the video card, including the color/brightness.
    • Laptops usually have a touch of "function" (Fn), you can stick it together with other keys to adjust some of the properties of your laptop. These other keys are the regular with symbols keyboard or keys drawings next to them, usually in a different color. Looking for a symbol that resembles the brightness, like a Sun. When you find it, press and hold down the Fn key, then click on in the special key that you just found.

    PML instructions are precise and concise.

    My instructions for this issue are similar but more verbose - perhaps they will help you get your system fixed to the top (just read them first, then apply them).

    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.

    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry. There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.

    Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
    Given that you had or have an infection, followed with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.
