  Is this a computer supplied by the manufacturer with Windows
  pre-installed?
   
  If so, D: is probably a recovery disk partition. This is where
  to allow you to reinstall Windows if it is necessary. It comes
  full (or almost full) and you should be sure never to write anything
  for her, or remove what either of him.

• How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

  Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

  I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

  I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

  How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

  It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

  I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

  I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

  Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

  I look forward to your reply.

  Hi Morgan,.

  I suggest you check out the link to delete the Windows.old folder.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/930527/en-us

  Note: Applies to Windows 7.

  For more information on granting permissions and the taking of property, see the links.

  What are the permissions?

  "Access denied" or other errors in the access to or work with files and folders in Windows

  Ownership of a file from command line:

  To do:
  
  a. go in > start > all programs > Accessories
  b. right click on prompt and then click Run as administrator.
  c. type the following command and press ENTER:
  
  takeown /f r d y
  
  d. to assign administrators group full control to the folder permissions, use the following syntax:
  
  ICACLS /grant administrators: F/t

  The /T parameter is added so that the operation is performed through all subdirectories and the files in this folder.

  For more information on the above commands, run these commands from a command prompt window.

  takeown /?
  ICACLS /?

  Please post back with the results and we will be happy to help you further.

• How can I get rid of the old on my hard drive under XP restore points?

  How can I get rid of the old points of restor on my hard drive

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

• How can I transfer my files from old computer with Windows XP to new computer with Windows 7 using a hard drive external?

  I have a computer with Windows XP and I just bought a computer with Windows7, can I transfer files to the new computer by using an external hard drive?  If so, how?

  Hi BarbKe

  Try to use this tool, it's called Windows easy transfer, I don't know if it works with an external hard drive or if you want to just manually, you can transfer the file using the method of copy paste...

• Re-installing Windows XP (OEM - purchased version of njewspaper ad without mentioning it was OEM only) after the installation of the pirate Win Xp (full version). Can I retrieve pirate settings to not reinstall aps (have about 100). __

  Hello
  I'm trying to reinstall Windows XP (OEM - purchased version advertises in newspapers not to mention it was OEM only) after the installation of the pirate Win Xp (full version). Can I retrieve pirate settings to not reinstall aps (have about 100).
  (I guess I have to change registry to eventually replace OEM version with pirate version - it still would make it impossible to activate the automatic updates). Or I can just reinstall registry then replace edition OEM version? (Would still allow the applications to be installed without the re - install?) (A major pain).

• How to transfer files from the old hard drive to a disc new hard, old hard disk has been removed?

  I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.

  The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

• I have Windows Vista - I'm a msge saying that the recovery disc (D) is almost full. How can I transer to OS (C) Disk that has plenty of room to the left?

  I have Windows Vista.  I'm a msge saying that the recovery disc (D) is almost full.

  How can I transfer to OS (C) Disk that has plenty of room?    Thank you.

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but you cannot move the D: Partition recovery or its contents; It will not work if you do.

  Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

  1. If you want to reinstall Windows from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

  F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

  You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

  2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

  Also ask them how to make records.

  Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

  There are backups on an external hard drive.

  To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

  See you soon.

• View full-screen media back to the small window after 20-30 minutes of play. WMP - 11, Classic, VLC, all media players.

  Did you recently clean reinstall of the operating system, no malware present, all drivers up to date, no media questions before you reinstall, now, when playing video files in any format, on any media player, full-screen doesn't "stick", but she climbs to view more small window for no apparent reason.  I tried to temporarily turn off anything that might interfere: malware apps, anti-virus, auto updaters, etc., even all the processes which seemed sure to stop temporarily, but after about 20 to 30 minutes to play any video format (mpeg4, avi, DVD disc, etc., full screen will jump to the small window for no apparent reason. When the problem persisted I even downloaded fresh copies of WMP 11, WMP Classic and VLC, but no joy, screen size change continues to happen with all the players, all types of video files. I'm out of ideas. What could possibly be the cause?

  [XP Home Edition, Service Pack 3, Intel 2.5 gHz, 1 GB Ram, 80 Gb HDD, SiS 661FX/GX Mirage Graphics... Yes, old, I know, but it worked well for me so far.]

  Thank you for your response. I tried your suggestions but they do not solve the problem.  You did, however, lead me to looking at my system settings instead of the settings for the media players - behavior was going on with WMP 11, Media Player Classic and VLC.  I found that, I hope, will prove to be the solution: in Device Manager > Sound, video & Game Controllers > media Remotes > properties I found my video controller (mciavi32.dll) opened its properties > settings > watch the video of 'window' or 'full screen '.  I selected "full screen" and for extra measure of value WMP 11 always open it in full screen. I have not done a test yet further with these three players, but I hope that these parameters will cure the problem. Oh yes, I went to SiS, I already had the latest display driver, but I have downloaded/installed a new copy anyway, just to be certain that my old one was not corrupted in a non-obvious way.

  Again, thank you for your help.

  Different are documents and photos I would like to recover from the old tosh-

  Can I switch from hard drives overall if they are compatible or y at - it an advance to do and how... help!

  The only way I know, it's that you buy an external HARD drive enclosure where you can put in the old HDD. Connect the HARD drive old this is the case with the USB cable to your laptop new and then you can copy your documents and photos.

  These cases are not expensive and s for external HARD drive are very practical.

• How can I transfer encrypted files from old hard drive removed (transfer windows easy?)

  Hello

  I'm trying to get some files off my old hard drive encrypted. He has xp on it, and I can't start on my new computer. Since it is a separate, apparently, I can't do either windows easy transfer. Is it possible for me to locate the certificate and key, or to transfer files with the key and the certificate on my new computer (I have password from the old computer if I need that)? Can I somehow run WET on this hard drive for keys/certificates can be transferred. This seems to be a common problem from what I have read.
  Otherwise, do you have ideas on how to start my old xp disk on my new system without reformatting?
  Very important to get these files.
  Thank you!

  First of all, I assume you mean encrypted files (EFS, Encrypting File System).  These files are encrypted with a key that is still encrypted in your system like a certificate.  In order to read your encrypted on any other system files, you must restore the certificate from a backup.  The short article is mandatory for anyone considering the use of EFS:
  "Best Practices for encrypting file system"

  Special attention to the subsection down titled "why you should back up your certificates.
