  What is the E: drive? Hard drive? CD/DVD drive? Something else?

  If it is a hard drive, it's a partition on your hard drive only or a
  second physical disk?

  If it is a part, how big is it? How it is there? You did
  create or the computer came up with it?

  If the latter, what is the "useless stuff" that is there. How many
  files? What are their names (tell us at least a few names)?

  The player has a name? Is it called recovery? If so, make sure that
  you do not delete something there. Post for more information
  all that it is and what needs to be done with it.

• How to recover missing files that are still on the hard drive. iTunes and VLC Player can still read the files.

  I had a restore of the system without success and now all my files (music, photos, documents, PDF files, vids, etc) are missing.  My itunes still recognizes the path to music and can play everything.  Same thing with VLC player and photos.   For example, if I go in VLC player and watch my playlist, I see that info a video is C:\Users\kevarendt\Desktop\Vids\... and the player will play the video.  However, I can't file my own.  He is no longer on my desk, where he was saved, but the path always displays it's there.  My drive is still in his usual capacity, so none of my files have been deleted.  I can't even to my user account.  All I see is a Public folder in C:\Users\.  What happened to my user account?  All the paths to my files have nothing to show, but it's still there but invisible.  How can I access it.  I use Vista Home Premium.

  Hello

  I suggest you to check that the same in safe mode if you work, try to perform the clean boot

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  If not work then suggest to activate the hidden files and folders and then check if it works very well.

• Windows 8 is installed by download. My motherboard has failed, but the hard drive is ok. How can I get it back?

  Windows 8 was downloaded beforehand as a test pplace for Windows XP and then paid for.  From there, I managed to create a Setup disk.  Now, five months later, my motherboard failed taking with it my CPU and RAM, but leaving intact system disk.

  Microsoft phone support, told me that the disk image is crucial and so that I can transfer it to another computer and use windows from this disk again.  Is it that simple?

  I have always understood, certainly with XP that activation has been defined by the hardware, especially the motherboard and processor.

  Hello

  Change the motherboard invites you to reactivate windows, you can refer to the activation of the phone, it would help you to reactivate windows.

• 100 GB Vista full boot need to merge with the E drive.

  I have vista, my startup diskc: disk is full Iwant to merge the e drive?

  100 GB full Vista, 1 disk boot hard need to merge with the E drive part.  HOW?

  Hello

  What is the size of the E:Drive?

  E: drive may be the recovery disk to reinstall the OS, if there is between 5-15GBs.

  Do not touch, except to make the recovery of the disks.

  Here is the info on the recovery disks >

  Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

  1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

  F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

  You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

  2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

  Also ask them how to make records.

  Your D: or E: drive of recovery should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

  There are backups on an external hard drive.

  To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  If E: is not the recovery disc, with disc of Vista management you must use all the space of the E: drive, doesn't not part of the E:.

  See if this applies to your situation.

  Save all data on E: > E: remove > and then extend C: into the now unallocated space where E: was.

  "How delete and extend a Partition with Vista disk management"
