If I decrease my first partition where I installed my windows 7 which has 100 GB of space available go I lose all the files of the OS or data?

Hello

If I decrease my first partition on which I have installed windows 7, which has 100 GB of available space, will I in bulk all the files of the OS or data on my first partition?

Thank you

Johan

Johan,

Before you begin this task, assume that you will lose everything.

Make a system image - see link on the left side of the opening screen of Windows backup.

Make a disc repair system [this can also be done starting from a link on the opening screen of the Windows backup] or a Windows 7 installation disc to use to restore this image if necessary.  Then test that you can boot from it before starting the main task.

I resized a partition with no problems successfully, but there is a risk of serious or even catastrophic problems.

Good luck

  • When I try to play solitare, I get (like my first game), a game that has already been played? I used to play all the time, but now it does. Can you tell me how to fix it?

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Open Windows Explorer, navigate to c:\users\username\saved games\microsoft games\solitare.  You see a game called Solitare.SolitareSave - ms? If so, this is the game that retains the proofreading.  Try to delete this file and rerun Solitare.  If this is the Spider Solitaire, you play, change the link above for Spider Solitaire.

    You could also try to delete and re-add the game.  To do this, click the Start button, type programs and features, or turn off Windows features turn on, uncheck the games box and click OK.  Then click on or turn off Windows features turn on once again and double-check the games folder and click OK. This will reinstall the games.

    Hope this helps,

  • Where to buy a key legitimate to correct a purchased copy of Windows 7 which has been hacked?

    I bought a copy of windows 7 ultimate at a private person, and he has proved to be a pirated version.  I am looking to buy a legal key.  No matter if I buy a full version or an upgrade key since my computer just asks me to enter a valid key?

    Hello

    I'm sorry to hear that you bought a pirated version.

    You can buy a key for the full version that you have nothing to upgrade.
    Also I suggest that you do a full reinstall as you never know if the pirated version has been tampered with.

    You can buy it here:

  • Where are installed on Windows 7 32 bit flash files?

    I know that for XP, they are installed in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash and for 64-bit Windows 7, they are in C:\Windows\SysWOW64.  But what about Windows 7 32 bit?

    Same place (like XP 32-bit), unless your Windows (%windir%) folder is not on the default C:\ drive.

    original title: install windows xp without CD

    Andrea,

    First of all. You cannot reinstall Windows XP without CD.
    Second, a download of Windows XP isn't illegal, I don't think you will get all the answers here to know where to download a copy of Windows XP.
    Better call the computer manufacturer instead.
    See you soon ~!

  • Can I get the Win 7 on a hard drive with multiple partitions without erasing all the data on the disk

    I have a HP p6310f with a 1 TB hard drive partitioned into two partitions.  One I have a Win 7 OS, which becomes more and more corrupt.  I would get a new version on the other partition and keep the old version until I don't know that I have restored all the programs and data properly, just in case I need something and are struggling to rebuild.  Is this possible?  When I tried to install the recovery disks, they said that the entire disk, not just the score, would be erased.  This seems a bit silly, but I am very worried about losing key information and programs that I am not able to restore.

    Hello

    If you use HP recovery disks to reinstall the operating system, you are right that they reformatted the whole HARD drive before installing the operating system.  As far as I know, has no way around that.  The only thing I can suggest is to make sure that you are able to get the installers of any program that you need before you restore the PC and maybe do two backup copies of all your personal data, just to be sure.

    On the link below, just select your operating system (Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit) and verify that you are able to download the drivers and software you need before you reinstall it.  You can always save installers for a writable DVD etc. now and then just to run it from the disk when you want to reinstall.

    Hello

    1. When did you start to question?

    2 did you recent hardware or changes to the software of the system?

    Method 1:

    You can perform a clean boot and check.

    A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

    You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    After the troubleshooting steps, please refer to clean the boot link to put the computer to normal startup mode.

    Method 2:

    You can also read the following article to run the Microsoft Safety Scanner and perform a full scan on your computer.

    Original title: Windows 7

    It depends to a large where you are, still list Amazon UK most of the versions. What you struggle with is finding a retail pack which is technically what you need. You cannot use the Upgrade Pack, even if you already have a Windows operating system.

    The OEM packs that as long as you understand the restrictions (not Microsoft supports load, 64-bit or 32-bit not both, installed only on the 1st PC and cannot be transferred to the future), you can install are more readily available.

    Also, you should check that the computer supports Windows 7, all the drivers are available, in general it will be but are not defined.

    Then you should be able to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS because it would protect the current installation.

    If you have not already purchased the computer if you check the biggest manufacturers on the trade routes of online providers you will find that Windows 7 is still available, it is above all the internal market which is forced in Windows 8. More small manufacturers of PC desktop are also used to define Windows 7, but must reduce quickly if they follow the rules of Microsoft.

  • 2 locations to "Program Files" - one on the C partition - and another on the D partition is possible (or option) so that you can 'choose' where to install a program in particular?

    Hello

    It's my first time display questions on a forum like this, so I'll try to explain in detail what I have (somehow... :)).
    Is it possible to have 2 "Program Files" location - one on the C partition - and the other on the D partition so that you can 'choose' where to install a program in particular? I don't really want to get rid from where 'move' the 'Program Files' folder on my C partition (I just do a clean reinstall of Windows XP), BUT I would like to be able to install several programs on the partition D place on C 'by default. "

    Here's the question: I have several programs that have no option to 'choose' where should be installed - they'll automatically C\Program Files. I want to install it on the D partition. If this is not possible, how can I transfer to the new location (once they have already been installed) in their entirety so that they are functional. I don't want to keep the remains, references and 'shortcuts' on the C partition. These programs should begin to malfunction, I have freedom to wipe the D partition and reinstall the programs without messing up the heart of the system.

    I'd appreciate any help, advice and ideas. Regarding my computer experience, I'd put myself in the novice category, detailed explanations would be a lifesaver! Thank you.

    My lightroom was great before the crash to work and I have a lot of work still pending.

    You will need the catalog file and all your images. If you have also stored your images on which crashed HDD you will need to copy them as well.

    The default location of the LR catalog file is in your user name folder in the folder on the ROOT of the drive users
