Made Windows my F: drive letter, can you change it?

Recently, I upgraded my hard drive and installed XP Professional. The hard drive is labeled F: is there away from changing it? It is my system disk.

There is a method to change the drive letter. However, I only recommend it if you are comfortable editing the registry. This is not a difficult process, if you are careful to follow the directions. The method on the link in the answer above does not apply to records that contains system volumes. Change the drive letter using this method will make windows no longer starts.

If you are not familiar with alter the registry simply re-install windows, this time making sure that you have unplugged all devices other than the cd rom, keyboard, and mouse. This includes printers or other devices, media card readers.

    I did the following on both computers; Right-click on the image and select open with...--> choose the default program--> go--> Program Files, Windows Photo Gallery, but it will be open always differently on computer 2.

    Hello

    Either the system restore point is already created for an earlier date, or is not available.

    You cannot create a restore today Point to return to yesterday.

    You can create a restore today Point to use in the future.

  • Can you change what core is vmotion ports without going into maintenance mode?

    If you have a host running, with a vswitch standard, can you change what port kernel manages vMotion without putting it in maintenance mode?

    What is happening is that we have a number of blades, all running vSphere 5.1.  Each host has a unique vSwitch with multiple groups of ports and a dedicated port vmkernal for vmotion and another dedicated one for the management network.  We use a VLan to separate the vmotion network.

    Our networking group will do a reconfiguration that will change the VLan dedicated for the vmotion.  What I would like to check the vmotion network management for each host, clear the check box on the Group of ports "vmotion".  The new vmotion VLAN is set up by the network, and then I go back and make the changes on each slide so that the "vmotion" is now enabled and remove the functions of vmotion for the management port.

    I know that it is not recommended to run the vmotion traffic on the management port network, but it will only be short term (probably a week or two).  My biggest concern is whether I can make changes 'live' without affecting the machines running.

    In a note related, if a host loses contact with other hosts on the network vmotion, which will pose a problem (in addition to not being able to vmotion)?  Will be the loss of connectivity on only the port of vmotion cause any kind of response of isolation, failover, etc.. ?

    Basically, you can modify most of the settings of network - including vMotion - without affecting the virtual machine. When you say that they reconfigure VLANS, do you know how long it will take and if the VLAN current will be available during this time? In this case, you would not have to implement no work around, but just update the VLAN groups of vMotion ESXi host ports.

    André

    PS: about your question "will be the loss of connectivity on only the port of vmotion cause any kind of response of isolation, failover, etc..?

    No, it's the management network that is used for HA, so everything what he let go is vMotion/DRS.

  • How can you change a text in an image?

    How can you change a text in an image?

    Hi Jasper,.

    It depends on how the text has been staged, and what has been done with the image after that.

    A quick test - what happens when you zoom in on, or enlarge the image?

    If the text retains its edges when amplified, then it can probably be edited separately from the image. If the text begins to show pixelation on the edges (like the picture), then there is no text to change, what looks like adding text is actually part of the image and can only be changed in the same way that you can change anywhere in the image.

    Here is an example:

    The photo is a photo (jpeg format), inserted in a Pages document created with the essay template. White text in the upper left corner of the photo is placed in a text box. To put the photo on this page (and the text on and around it) has been converted to a PNG file. When it is enlarged on this screen, the text finally a pixelated image...

    .. .the easily noticed in the thin relates diagonal 'o'.

    In Pages, however, the text and the picture are separated, and the text is a vector image - mathematically trained and scalable.

    The text here is contained in a text box and the text box was grouped with the photo. To change the text (in Pages), I need to:

    • Click on the text.
      Handles will appear in the corners of the selection.
      That click you select either the entire image OR just simply the text box.
      • IF the handles are blue x characters, the selection is locked
        Go organize (menu) > Unlock
        Sectionals unlocked handles are small white squares.
    • IF the selection includes the entire image
      • Go to the menu, rearrange and choose ungroup
        If the choice to separate is not available, the text may be part of the image and uneditable as text.
        Try to click twice (separated from the clicks, not double click).
        If the insertion point (|) is now in the text, the text is editable as text.
        Change the text.
    • IF the selection looks like a text box and does not the whole image
      • Click on the text to place the insertion point (]) in the text
        Change the text.

    Image showing the insertion point in the text in a text box on the image:

    Kind regards

    There is here a post that briefly mentions 'Chinese language', I wonder at the ITO reading where there is a reference to get pilots 'Asia-Pacific', perhaps they can be requested from some English-language world?  Maybe not relevant in your case but always valuable consideration.

  • How can you change your password in Windows 7 without password reset disk?

    I do password reset disk in case it has been locked or I do not know a password. I forgot my password, I try to reset my password with my password reset disk but it doesn't work. How can I change/reset password of my laptop?

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with password key file (works only if you have taken the time to create such a key file and if it is running).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
