Laptop computer Inspiron - C drive close to the full

3-year Dell Inspiron hard drive, put in place of the factory disk of 320 gig - C 60 gig - D rest of allocated space. I'll have to reformat and reload everything, not finding any information that I can delete patition and expand the C drive.

I'm surprised that you have not done this already. I did it on my Inspiron with silent partitioning even. Just boot disk windows 7, select custom install and Drive Options (or something like that) then delete the D partition and follow the directions to install windows on the partition C which will expand to include space not allocated - formerly D.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308028


    Method 2:

    You can even perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time when you have not experienced the problem.

     

    Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    Refer to the following help link on performing a system restore.

I have a Tablet Android working on this particular router and want to download the driver on it and put it on the flash drive to reinstall on my laptop. Is that going to work? Where can I download it? FairPoint is now 14.99 an extra month of me now for a Support technique Premium. They are waiting for me to borrow a laptop to try to help him to do so.

  • Laptop computer donation should be deleted all the news

    I am donating my laptop and I want to delete all my info. but I don't know how please help!

    Reinstall Vista and back to the way you bought it.

    As we don't know what you have in the way of media/recovery partition, here's the General methods:

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    you have set in the router? Are there obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click
    top - tab of the driver - write version - click on update driver (can't do
    nothing that MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Then right click on the Wifi

  • Using a LAPTOP computer and external drives to implement infrastructure ESX4 &amp; vsphere.

    Hi, people.

    Not been not not possible for me to acquire a robust and compatible to get by under ESX 4 Server (physical space at home, so many components niggle and not much more money to spend in), the only way that I would have to set up about 5/6 of the virtual machines in a field of messaging infrastructure running ESX4 in a portable high power (on the quad-core i3 / i5 or i7 processor) at least 6/8 Gb. RAM enough to satisfy my needs and requirements of the virtual computer.

    However, there is another parameter to be considered: external drives for execution of VMFS file systems, because modern systems (Sata, Pata, disks etc. interfaces) are not compatible for loading system; No virtual machine are taken care on them and, in case of, the performance will never good if each of them was running at the same time.

    The previous ideas must do some open and helpful (I'm sure they will) thoughts and advice:

    (1) has (or had) everyone feels with ESX4 in a processor of high power like the kind of I mentioned earlier? What has the vendor/model and material?

    (2) in the case of, how do you solve the question about to running 5 or 6 external drives for disc not computer usb virtual (AFAIK, ESX3 doesn´t support of USB drives)? NAS home (for example, LinkSys NAS200) is not enough to implement my desired purposes?

    (3) in my situation, the need of presentations good getting on ESX 4 and practice to get VCP certified, what has been your best idea in a hardware platform with space for?

    As usual, I'm very nice for your answers and advice.

  • laptop computer Inspiron 7720 5720 motherboard

    I'm doing the repair of computers as a hobby of sorts and I recently had an inspiron 5720 to work on. After a few edits, that I have determined that the BIOS chip is bad, as if the laptop turns off then it takes repeated attempts to anything other than once the bios loads and get you into windows you are fine. Well the good guy gave it to me because I do so much work for him and I really like it, but I soon discovered the empty hard drive Bay, and how I couldn't use it and why (because the 5720 and 7720 use the same chassis). Well now, I want the 7720 and graphics from nvidia with the 2nd hard drive and I was wondering if I could buy a motherboard 7720 and put it in my case 5720. Can I do it? It will be just ' drag right into ' or will there be unforeseen problems? Someone at - it atteppted this? Any information would be appreciated.

    I'm glad that someone finally posted this info. I'm trying to return my board 7720 first because she would not engage in my 5720. I was hoping, and sure enough it's a bad Council 7720. Now I'm almost certain. Have you ever done 3D or 3D work? I wonder if it will fly on the screen of 5720 because there is a difference. Any other e advice? I have a 2.4 chip i3, but I think it should work for now. In any case thank you for the info and any updates would be great. ADMIN NOTE: identification of Email deleted by privacy policy >
