Need to backup data before restoring my computer with the dell factory restore?

I experienced some problems with windows so I thought to use the system to dell factory restore.
I have actually three drives 1 is for the n other operating system is for my personal data n the last of them is the recovery partition. And now if I want to restore what should I back up my data on the drive that is not involved with the operating system?
Would there be any deletion of my D drive (not used in the operating system)?
Should I have to backup the personal drive (drive D)?
Or should I just format my C drive (with operating system) and data must be assigned on drive D (personal car)?

You should always back up data.

Dell, ask questions about their recovery process.
Their recovery process will be how you bought, with two only the main road and the recovery partition; but not your data partition

Read the info here on how to use the Dell recovery options:

And that way if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive.

    new iphone 6s said needs to update itunes before restoring from itunes? How do update you a phone not yet active?

    You need to update the version of iTunes on your computer, not the iPhone.

    If you are using a Mac, use the App Store app to install iTunes updates available.

    If you are using Windows, download the latest version of iTunes from the Apple website.

  • Message came up with, "Windows has detected another computer with the same IP address on this netework."

    A message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address. "... or similar message to one, that could just be the functioning of the laptop for the wireless?

    MurrayJoe:

    > Mean someone has or may have access to my PC or laptop?

    You mentioned a wireless laptop. Do you get this message at home (when your laptop is in communication with your own wireless router), or that you get this message when in a public hotspot?

    If at home, then I would be not too concerned (what security options enabled in your home router?).

    If you get the message while using a public access point, this does not necessarily your computer has been hacked... but it is a warning that you should not ignore. In general, I would not go to any site that has my financial data, or any other sensitive data, a public hotspot. There are too many ways that a public hotspot may be compromised.

    Your original post said that "a message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address.

    There are several reasons this could happen... some innocent people and some not so innocent.

    If your network is configured for the most common way, then your router uses a feature called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can read about DHCP here...

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

    Basically, when a device on your home network needs an IP address, he asks your router and your router assigns an IP address... technically, "rents" the router address for a given period (one day). Once this period has elapsed, the device must 'renew lease'.

    DHCP stops you from the hassle of having to assign a static IP address to each device on your network and then don't forget to retrieve that meet if/when a device are removed from your network.

    Sometimes the process DHCP can be confused and assign the same address on multiple devices. If/when this happens, communication between devices on your home network may be confused. Windows is smart enough to detect that another device on your home network has the same address as the computer where Windows is currently running..., but Windows can not solve the problem.

    You can determine the IP address of the computer that is running Windows (and posted the message you saw)... by entering "ipconfig" (without the quotation marks) at a command line prompt. Then you can check the IP addresses of all devices on your network until you find the other devices with the same IP address. Then you could say either every device to get a new IP address of the router (or restart the device). Alternatively, you can try just stating the computer that is running Windows to get a new IP address (by first entering "ipconfig/release" then "ipconfig / renew" in the command-line invite him... all orders without the quotes).

    But since you said that you are not very tech savvy, my first suggestion was the easiest... just shut everything in your network, and then restart one at a time by starting with your ISP device, router, and other devices. If the problem persists after that, then more troubleshooting (as described in the previous paragraph) would be necessary.

    I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you. If you have any questions, please post them and I'll try to answer.

  • When the Admin sign on the office comes to the top, but after that the computer does not respond when the user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.

    Original title: user profile

    My administrator user profile does not work properly, but I have a user profile that has activated the parental control that worked well for about a year and yesterday when this user logs on the desktop comes up, but after that the computer does not respond when that user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.  I ran a virus scan and spyware scan in my user admin profile and he has not found anything.  I don't know what to check.

    Hello rhunter15,

    There may be a program to interfere with Parental controls so that we can try a few things to see if we can determine the application or program that is causing problems.

    First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

    • Click Start
    • Click on all programs
    • Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.
    • Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"
    • Click on command prompt
    • Type SFC/scannow.

    It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.

    To determine if there is a program because of a conflict, we recommend that you perform a "clean boot" of the computer. A clean boot is designed to disable programs and services in the background as much as possible. This helps determine which service or program can be the cause of the problem.  For more information about how to perform a clean boot for troubleshooting, click the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

    KB 929135 - how to solve a problem of performaing a clean boot in Windows Vista.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once you have finished the clean boot, check again and see if you get the error of parental control.

    If please post again and let us know if that helped pinpoint the problem or if you still need help.

  • My TV screen works as a monitor, but I can't turn on my computer with the fact that it is my first choice

    Hey!

    I recently tried to hook up my TV to my office to use as a monitor, and it works! It's a VIZIO HDTV but I can not get the HDMI cable to fit all, so I'm just using a VGA cable!

    Graphics card is a Radeon 5800 series.

    My problem is that when my computer is turned off and the TV is plugged in, I can't get a good picture when I turn it on. The resolution is just terrible, far too zoomed in.

    The only way I can get the TV to work, is if I turn on my computer with the trendy first regular computer monitor and then pass the cable VGA to TV.

    I have to do this every single time to use my computer to the TV.

    My friend can just start sound with TV connected without any problem. I'm not sure why I can't.

  • Need Adobe XI. DC does not work with the plugins I use.

    I'm on a Mac and I need Acrobat XI as DC does not work with the plugins that I use at work. We have a subscription to the CC. I downloaded the software XI from here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html but it asks for a serial number. I followed the steps on this page about what to do if you have a subscription, but this brings me to a page that asks you a redemption code to activate my subscription. My subscription is already activated. Is there a way to install XI without needing a series/redemption code?

    Update: I spent 2 days looking how to get this resolved. Of course, 5 minutes after I ask this question, it happens to me on this: https://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/creative-cloud/kb/acrobat-dc-uninstalls-acrobat-11 .html , that solved my problem and my installation began through the application of CC desktop, rather than a separately downloaded .dmg file as before. Note: After clicking on the button 'Download Adobe Pro XI', next steps called "Adobe DC", but the end result is an installation Pro XI.
