original title: delete old files / customize in new computer
I received this great office of in-laws and I want to remove all their stuff and start over... but not to delete what anyone essential to the system. I can't get explore 9... do not know why.
I also want to know if I need to set up a network or something for my laptop and desktop computer can interact? I want to be able to print from my laptop without connecting to the computer via the USB port.
Any advice?
Your message was clearly not your comments to Microsoft Answers web site, so I moved it on the Feedback forum to "Install, upgrade and activate" windows forum. Please return to your message, click the button change under it, change the menu Windows Version dropdown to indicate which version of Windows you are using, and then click on submit. People can help better if they do not have to guess your version of Windows.
Your best bet is to reinstall WIndows from scratch using the original Windows installation kit or factory restore disks supplied with the PC when your purchased people. If she did come with a restore or the Windows installation disk drive, it came with a partition on the hard drive and the software to allow you to create the restore disks yourself. Which will ensure that none of their remains.
If you want to share data or peripherals between two PCs, you will need a LAN. If you have internet access, then you already have a local area network. Your ADSL access may or may not have a router provided with the equipment to access, but if it isn't you can easily add a. The Knowledgebase Microsoft have some tutorials that describe how to configure a network home.

Original title: received message 'disk full '. I can see 933 GB of free space when I display the properties of the operating system (c :)) help, please!
New computer - Dell Inc. 05DN3X (CPU 1), MS Windows 7 64-bit SP1, processor Intel Core i7 930 at 2.80 GHz, 6.00 GB Triple - Channel DDR3 @ 666 MHz, 977 GB Western Digital WDC WD10EALX - 759BA1 (SATA).
Problem:Downloaded a program (32 MB) (SRIM 2011.exe) commonly used to work and tried to extract it to a new folder on the OS (C :) - received message 'disk full'.) I can see 933GB free space when I discover the properties of the operating system (c) - Quota is turned off.Have used the program mentioned above (SRIM.exe) several times before using different operating systems XP to work without problem...Help, please!THXGiven that this was written in 2011, I'm sure you understood something at this stage. However, the post also has much a views, so I think it might be a persistent problem, so I'll post my solution:
When I copied the file SRIM - 20xx.e in a folder of SRIM-20xx under Program Files, I had a "Disk full" error when trying to extract the files, even though I had a lot of space on my hard drive and without limits. After a bit of messing around, I like the solution is to move the SRIM-20xx folder on the desktop, and then unpack it. After extraction, which leaves you with a lot of seemingly useless files, double-click CONFIGURATION and the installation will begin appropriate. Installation will create a file under Program Files, there will be no need to make things happen later, simply remove the meantime extract the folder to your desktop computer.

My HD C: broke down and needs to be replaced. It contained the operating system (XP). My other drive is OK. I have all the original cdroms, including the operating system.
I need to know if I should be careful what it is.Hello Nigel
Each hard drive is different with their adjustment as far as riders go unless you have purchased the same exact model. Make sure that you set the jumpers on the correct setting for the new hard drive with the manual that came with the hard drive. You can also reconnect the cables of data and power supply for the reader who does not appear because they can be loosened. -
Dell Dimension 2400 with XP.
mjcandlec1,
Welcome to the forums. Firstly (and this is just my personal opinion) you can actually have a bit more large partition for the operating system. Just to receive the updates and service packs and other.This article will show you how to change the default location of My Documents. Also when you install programs then ensure you that you change the default installation directory, it will try to go on the C: drive.

Contact HP (if they had not initially you provided with support or the media manufacturing process or you have lost the media and/or you don't want EU to some tools to clone the old drive to the new or can not do...) for a copy of the media restore/recovery of your system.

How can I reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive?
I strongly suspect failure of hard drive on my old computer XPS 420. Data recovery isn't a problem. However, because the way I too lazy to buy a whole new operating system, is possible that I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista on a new hard drive? I told me that Dell will send me an installation disc to do, but how to make a record like this, and is there another way?
I'm thinking of ghosting the HDD on another and the use of the recovery for nuke partition in a new facility, but it would even work?
Thank you

The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.
You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.
http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage
Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.
Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.
First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.
Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.
Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.
Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.
It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.
What is obtaining a disc from the Dell operating system Vista OEM [If Dell still copies of this available media], but you can be out of luck unless you have a warranty from Dell, but it's worth a try to see what is happening.
If you reside in the United States, or the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with an active warranty, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.
Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.
If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.

Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.First run Memtest86 +:
It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7
Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.
Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller. Also, if you decide to switch to Windows 7 64 bit in the future, there is no way to upgrade from 32-bit Windows, clean install only.

Hello alanandmovita, you could try to return to a Windows Restore Point before your latest Microsoft updates where you mentioned that he installed Essentials without your permission.
Go to the start ORB, all programs, accessories, System Tools, System Restore, and look for a date before the updates were installed.
There is a reason, that I never use automatic updates. Windows updates all that Microsoft feels that they want that you want or need or not.
Just some thoughts.

Displacement of vCenter Server to new hardware and start from scratch
Hi all
I want to configure a new server vCenter Server on new hardware and start from scratch instead of migrating from the old installation.
Threre are currently only 5 ESXi hosts connected to this server vCenter Server, so it would not so much be working to the reconfiguration of the new facility.
I wonder if there are other things that I have to take care of? How about iSCSI, network settings and so on?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas
It is no big problem with a new server vCenter Server. Just follow the step to a new clean install.
Existing hosts will be simple automatically deleted when you add to the existing VC they to the new cluster.
Please keep in mind that the DNS entry are correct.
If you have a HA, so I suggest to disable in the old cluster (it will be configured in a way to the new).
If you have CVS you add hosts when are in maintenance mode.
