I unwittingly compressed my hard drive to save space. I didn't know that it starts not after that.
* Original title: Windows Vista, version 1996
I unwittingly compressed my hard drive to save space. I didn't know that it starts not after that. Restarting the PC, how can I unpack my hard drive to allow it to boot this drive?
UM Vista came out in 2007, so there is no version of 1996. If you have the Vista DVD, you can start since that launch a command prompt and run the command to unpack here.
It's been almost a decade I ran Vista and I do not know the command to compress (or decompress) from a prompt command in Vista
It should be the same for vista

Can what files I withdraw from my hard drive to save space?
After you have reinstalled the operating system, how do I turn of the old one?
I had to reinstall vista. When I did I noticed that my free space on my OS was substantially the same (approximately 25 GB of 137). Now that most of the updates is installed, I have only 9GB. Seems to me I'm double stuff. How can I determine what stuff belongs to the older operating system and delete?
Thank you

How to make a temporary directory on my HARD drive to save the downloaded file?
I need to download the updated printer drivers and the first thing I need to do is to create a temporary directory on my hard drive to save the downloaded files. My operating system is Windows 7, the 64-bit version. My printer is a brother model MFC - 240 c. (That copy, fax, scan and has Photo Capture).
I had a stroke and lost my short-term memory and can not remember what whether computers or at least, not a lot. If you know how to do this, be very specific with your answer as I print it and use it as a guide I'll follow to the letter. I'm sure that it's the easiest thing, but I just can't remember how to do it.
Thanks for your help - it is much appreciated.

You shouldn't really need to create a temporary directory - especially for the Brother printer drivers. You can download it at any place that you can easily find (like the office). Then double-click it to run it (run) on it and let it install.
I realize has their instructions (probably the ones found here<-- that="" is="" a="" link)="" say="" to="" download="" the="" file="" to="" a="" temporary="" directory="" -="" but="" i="" just="" downloaded="" the="" file="" you="" need="" (mfc-240c-inst-win7-a2.exe)="" and="" double-clicked="" on="" it="" and="" it="" doesn't="" have="" to="" be="" anywhere="" special. ="" it="" will="" 'extract'="" to="" the="" native="" temporary="" directories="" as="" needed="" (nothing="" to="" be="" concerned="" with)="" and="" then="" ask="" you="" to="" choose="" a="">-->
Which I suppose you want to English (as shown), and then you click OK.
He then expand some additional files and then ask you to accept a license agreement (I suggest "Yes" If you want to go further):
In your case... choose 'Standard' and click Next and continue in this way until it is installed. Then (once Setup is complete and closed) you can restart the computer (first and foremost) and then delete the original file you downloaded (MFC-240 c-inst-win7 - A2.EXE) on your desktop (or downloads, etc.)
You should get through it. -
Hard drive is full and I don't know why
Hello
The free space on my hard drive stop less and less even if I do not want to install anything on it. In fact I deleted the files and folders to try to increase the free space on the hard drive, but free space still less and less stops. I searched through the filesa and folders, etc, and there seems to be about 80 GB which is used by the hard drive that I can't find anywhere. I ran the software anti-virus and anti-spyware software that I also have a firewall running. However, the hard disc to stop continually complete with what I don't know. Any ideas?
DarrenFollowing your advice, I installed:
WinDirStat - free
http://WinDirStat.info/This allowed me to find all the files on my computer and better still highlighted the huge file that was causing the problem.
The file at the root of the problem is a log file more 126 GB in size. He was hiding there in a folder on my hard drive that Explorer windows normal not to find / identify. The logfile at the origin of the problem was "pyagcore" and it seems if installed on your computer when you install the kiwee toolbar internet explore.
I was able to delete the pyagcore file and then disabled and deleted the kiwee toolbar. Everything looks OK and I more 126 GB of hard disk space back.
Cheers and thanks a lot for your kind cooperation.

My hard drive crashed and I had to reload vista. I can not find the product key. What can I do?
Contact the manufacturer of your computer.
Look on the side/back if a desktop computer; down if a laptop.
Also look on any packaging the VistaDVD came, if you bought it yourself.
If the product key is lost, we can NOT help you replace.
See you soon.

On your local HARD drive? N ° on your web server? Course
How do you know php? There are exif function that can read EXIF headers on your images. You can use it in conjunction with the functions of file system scanning of the images on your web server. If you have thousands of images, you want to index the results in a database rather than search the real-time file system.

Hello!
I have a problem working with iMovie on my MacBook Air... Drive HARD internal of the MacBook is unfortunately to small for the biggest projects iMovie... Is there a way to work on external hard drives or perhaps TimeCapsule?
Thank you very much in advance!
Yes, put your iMovie library/ies on a fast (7200 RPM) external hard drive to the Apple format is a good way of working. Details of the setting up of libraries are covered in the help files to:
http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7
Note that you may need to consolidate the media in an existing library before you travel to avoid breaking links to media located in the libraries from other Apple applications. See:
http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351
I would not recommend using Time Capsule - you would need a separate partition above the used by time machine, and you could put some data on the same drive as backup. Connection speed can also be a problem.

HARD drive shows less space than it actually is.
So, we have an iMac 2010 and it's on Yosemite. We installed Windows 7 earlier on a bootcamp partition and it worked fine. Well, go ahead some time and I try to delete the BootCamp partition to save space as we never use it. Utility disk I would remove it, but it wouldn't let me not resize the OS X partition to recover the 300 GB used Bootcamp. So I did everything I could think of with disk utility and he ended up telling me that it cannot repair the disk and try the recovery disk. I did and he told me that he had to be reformatted as he could not do anything. I moved everything I wanted and it reformatted my El Capitan USB installation off the coast. I thought that this going to fix my problem, but not the whole HARD disk it's only 700 GB instead of 1 TB. It shows no way to resize or whatever it is. Something that I watch shows only 700 GB, but I know very well that it is a 1 TB drive. How can I get the HARD drive to its appropriate size?
Also, the command "diskutil list cs" shows exactly nothing when I try. He said only "No CoreStorage groups of logical volumes found."
Please after the release of
diskutil list
sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0
You will be asked your password, that are not displayed to you.
Utility disk and BC Assistant should not be interchanged to manipulate partitions.
