I have a 16 GB USB Firebird and the size on disk is only 14.9 GB

Hi all

When I format my usb drive, all I can get is 14.9 GB. Is this normal?

and one more thing. I tried to format it like a chrome OS boot disk and made a big mess. Finally I managed to return to a single partition. This thing with the chrome operating system changed the default settings of the drive so I want to know what is the default allocation unit size (when formatting)? I think it's 4 096 bytes before I ate with it, now its default 8192. I don't know what was the default allocation size, so I need a number for an answer.

Thank you very much!

  • No sound on DVD playback and the size can be reduced to half of its original size

    Hi, I have a few problems on my DVD player after you install the windows media player 11.
    No sound during playback and the size can be reduced to half of its original size.

    Can someone show me how to fix tat?

    Hello

    you have a codec pack and/or a DVD player separated installed on your system? If not, then try, because play DVD´s with MediaPlayer 11 is not very comfortable and
    you encounter errors, for example you have.

    I suggest you: download a codec pack (for example K-lite or something: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Codec_Pack_All_in_1.htm) install it and maybe try to use another dvd as "Media Player Classic" player that plays almost every videofile/DVD/etc. that exist.

    Hope I could help you

    For the third part of the applications that perform many tasks, I usually discover www.tucows.com and www.download.com.  They have a wide variety of programs, and the trick is to put in the correct search terms to find what you are looking for.  Make sure you that your selection is compatible with Windows Vista and at tucows, try to pick one with 4 or 5 cows because they are the highest rated.

  • How to change the text size and the size of the icons

    original title: the size of the text and the size of the icons

    one of my friends was on the computer and somehow changed the size of my text and the size of my icons on my desktop, how do I do it please help

    Well, it depends on what he / she did it.  Right-click on the desktop and go in customize, then it could be the display settings have been reduced or appearance has changed.  So you have to play with the settings there to understand.

  • Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

    Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

    Thank you

    LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

    If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

    If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

  • VSphere ESXi4.0 - need help upgrade and increase the size of disk to the server

    Hello

    I have the free version of the VSphere ESXi4.0, I'm looking to do 2 things:

    (1) Upgarde to the last free version of Vsphere. Can you point me to the upgrade of the software and the path correct upgarde?

    (2) I have 2 servers running in the machine.  One is a Windows 2008 R2. I need to increase the size of disk for this server. Currently, it is 144 GB. I need to increase it up to 260 GB. How can I do this? I tried to simply increase the size by increasing the C of this server disk Edition by the 40 to 80 GB VSphere client and D ranging from 100 GB and 200 GB drive [I'm running out of space]. But the Vsphere shows again that the orginial 140 assignment or not the new 280 Gb.

    Help, please. Thanks in advance

    You must go into Windows on the virtual machine and use the disk management tools to extend the volume. It is a two stage process where you first set the VM, then the second step is to adjust the windows.

  • Location and the size of area spot within a compressed file

    Hi all

    I'm working on an authorware program in which I want to use the size of years of a hotspot location clicked to draw a rectangle. Finally, I would like to be able to change the size and position of a point of interest, and when they are packed, the rectangle must belong to the new position of the hotspot, with the new size. So far, I've been successful in a file not packed with:

    GetIconProperty (@Title; #awSizeX))

    GetIconProperty (@Title; #awSizeY))

    GetIconProperty (@Title; #awLocationX)

    GetIconProperty (@Title; #awLocationY)

    where the title is the title of the clicked hotspot. So far so good... BUT I learned the hard way that GetIconProperty() does not work in a bundled file authorware (next time I will first read the help section better!). My question: How can I get the same information in a packaged authorware file?


    I was watching the GetSpriteProperty() function, which should work in a bundled file. However, the hot spots aren't sprites, and I do not know what spriteproperties should I use for the location and the size of the area reactive (#awSizeX, #awSizeY, #awLocationY and #awLocationX do not work). In addition, GetPostPoint provides the position of the upper left pixel of the hotspot, but I need separate the values X and Y position of the reach to be able to use the Box() function to draw the rectangle. And I need the hotspot as well. Finally, PositionY@Title and PositionX@Title do not work for my hot spots (the value is always 0 and does not change when you click on the hot spots).


    I could solve the problem by making all the position values variables and the values of the size of all the hot spots, but then I wouldn't be able to change the position and size of the hot spot by dragging and by changing the rectangle accordingly.

    I'd be more than happy to hear if anyone has a solution for me.

    Thank you!

    OK, after playing with the functions GetPostPoint and GetPostSize, I managed to do something that does what I want in a bundled file.

    My solution:

    posBox: = GetPostPoint (@Title; #response) - returns a list with [x, y] position

    sizeBox: = GetPostSize (@Title; #response) - returns a list with [width, height] size

    Box(pensizeBox;posBox[1];posBox[2];posBox[1]+sizeBox[1];posBox[2]+sizeBox[2])

    Hope that helps others to identical or similar problems!
