• Move the Users folder to another drive or partition under Vista 64

  I want to move my full users folder to another drive or partition under Vista 64-bit.

  I found these instructions to do with Windows 7 and confirm that they work very well on a Windows 7 computer I set up yesterday.
  http://Lifehacker.com/5467758/move-the-users-directory-in-Windows-7
  ROBOCOPY, RMDIR, MKLINK programs all exist in Vista and have all the command line switches such as specified in section of Windows 7.
  I want to use junction points as described in the article, rather than messing around with search-and-replace in registry. The use of junction points is cleaner and easier to reverse if I ever need to move the Users back folder to its original location.
  These same instructions for Windows 7 works with Vista 64 bit to move my users folder to a different hard disk or partition?

  Well, I couldn't wait any longer for a response.

  So I gave him a test and Windows 7 instructions work perfectly with Vista 64 - bit word. Hope it will be useful to someone else.

• Why 2 partitions of OS on HP dv9628 laptop computer under Vista Home Premium?

  I was just checking my wife of the older HP Pavilion dv9628nr under Vista Home Premium with 2 HARD drives.  I didn't even know he had 2 HARD drives.  I opened the case to make sure.

  Here is a screenshot of disk for system management.  I have a few questions:

  1. Why is there a system operating on each HARD drive partition?

  2 are 2 necessary and deleted maybe?

  

  Generally however, the C: drive is not always your primary. This may change if based on the installation program. The installer in this book, could be Raid. This is where the 2 drives are used to create a combined drive. Based on the laptop being adverstised as a drive of 240 GB, but with 2 120 GB drives in it. This is most likely how it was setup. To know for sure you'd have to check to see if this feature is enabled in the BIOS.  Before you change any settings that you would like to make sure that you have recovery discs and backed up all the content. As having the OS on a single disk, you will need to disable Raid in bios and probably to format both drives. Then reinstall the operating system on you get (the one listed as C:, to avoid complications).

  This article (from ehow.com) can help with your Bios check, so that you can see if Raid is enabled and if you choose to disable. How to disable Raid BIOS

• Do a clean install of Windows Vista 32 8.1; advice on the new partition formats.

  Hi, I'm going to do my clean install of Windows Vista 32 8.1 today.

  Need advice on the size for my new partition (s).

  Currently defined as the partitions:

  Total: free:

  OS (c                          99.7G          11.9G

  Data (D G 111, 14.5 G)

  HP_Recovery (E 12.0 G 1.97 G)

  I am running:

  Laptop HP Pavilion DV9700 Entertainment

  32 Vista Home Premium, SP1

  Basically I want a suitable partition for the new Windows OS 8.1 (more room for restore points).

  And the rest of the data area, I guess, as if I had originally.

  Does anyone have any other ideas, because I start from scratch.

  Hi davisj-oaktree.

  To remove the Vista partition, I included the following two links http://bit.ly/1dWZLLn, and http://cnet.co/1dWZQii. Please check the information on each of these websites.

• Create a new user in Vista, but does not appear under c:\Users[user-name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes /.

  I tried to add a new user of Vista. The name and icon are created in the login screen, but when I tried to access the new user account, I received the message "user profile service logon failedthe. User profile cannot be loaded.
  I read the responses on the copy files to the user overall, but when I looked in the c drive, the new username has not been added. What should I do now?

  Hello

  The problem is probably damaged the ADMIN account, you were when you created the user account.

  Log on as an ADMINISTRATOR or use the HAA below and REMOVE the user account that you created. Then move forward
  as if your ADMIN account (the one you used to make this account user) has been corrupted. Once you are sure
  It is OK then DISABLE the HAA - login to your ADMIN account and make a different for USER account
  see if everything is OK.

  Try these to erase corruption and missing/damaged file system repair or replacement.

  2. start - type in the search - box COMMAND find top - RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

  -----------------------------------------------

  Then do-, use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
  then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times. Do the
  same for other accounts that may be difficult. Then if necessary you can also reset your password
  in the accounts. Do not forget to leave your Admin account and the other to the desired level.

  Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
  repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

  DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

• Satellite Pro L300 - new partition after Exchange of HARD drive sizes

  Under 'Vista' with a 120 GB hard drive and needs space.

  Bought a 500 GB SATA drive. I'm afraid that the recovery software will set the new drive with a 50-50 Partition. This is the case or it will allocate 50 GB to E: / and the rest to C: /?

  As the manual States that if I change the size of the partition the recovery software will not re - install in the future?

  Hello

  As I know the Toshiba Recovery disk always allocates 50% disk space for each partition. This means that the 500 GB drive you have two partitions with ~ 250 GB of disk space on each partition.
  If not or you want to change something, you can use the Windows disk management tool:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7101OB0006R01.htm

  I think the manual means that you can use t more the procedure for recovery of HARD disk if you change the size of the partition.
  But with the Toshiba disk recovery you are on the safe side and so you can always restore the factory settings every time. :)

• Help! HP Toolbox does not work under Vista

  When nearly two years ago, I added a Vista PC to my network, I found that the HP Toolbox software - necessary to monitor the level of status and toner for my LaserJet 1320 - wouldn't install or run under Vista.  I contacted HP and they told me "us working on this and should have a new version available soon.  I regularly, come back and still would get a similar response.  Now that I replaced my last XP machine with a Vista computer, I'm more in need of this utility than ever.  I sent HP Technical Support and I was told ' sorry, pal, but you're out of luck.  The 1320 is no longer a current model so can't stand us it anymore. ' (With a strong commitment to customer support, I'm surprised they even bother to release the drivers!)

  Does anyone have a fix for this problem?

  After reading some other forums, I found that when you print a Test page through printer menu options, the page displays the ink levels.

• Program to backup under Vista

  Hello, I am using windows Vista and I'm having a problem with the backup of the program function.  When I do a backup and put my disc in I get an error message that says "the disk in drive is not formatted."    I used this disc several times to make backups, and it worked fine.   One night when I was busy and the scheduled backup came she I refused and since then I had problems there is also another choice that says "you can use a blank disc, if you do not want windows to recommend how to fix?

  Thank you, Kevin

  Hello

  I suggest trying to backup to an external hard drive and check to see if you get any errors.
   
  You can also try to back up files by creating another partition, for example, if you have 100 GB of free space on drive C, you can create a new 20 GB partition just for backups. You can do this by going to the disk management utility in Windows Vista.
   
  To open disk management, click Start, click run type diskmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER. You can also open the immediate window by pressing the Windows and R key at the same time.
  Once you create a new partition, you can select the new partition as a destination for the backup files and then burn the files on a DVD from the new partition.

• I am looking to buy a new PC soon, what I have to buy a new copy of vista, or can I use my code on my new PC?

  Licensing

  I have a copy of windows vista that I installed on my laptop, I am looking to buy a new PC soon, what I have to buy a new copy of vista, or can I use my code on my new PC? I do not plan to use my laptop again once I get this PC is it possible to transfer the license via?

  No problem.

  First of all, backup all your data of the laptop if you have not already.

  When you have done this, the best way to do this is to delete the partition with Vista on it. See the website below for more information:

  http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/delete_a_partition_using_the_vista_dvd.htm

  Once you have finished deleting your partition, the laptop will have nothing about it, so you can choose to reinstall an earlier version of Windows or simply put away to deal with later. You can now legally install the copy of Windows Vista on your new machine.

• I don't see the entire hard drive under Vista. When I try to shrink a volume, I seem to lose space.

  Original title: I see all the hard drive under Vista

  I see on the C drive properties
  "space used = 143 GB ', and"
  "494GB of free space.   But, when I try to do a third partition to install windows 7, using the disk management tool, after I click on
  shrink the volume on drive c, I don't see that: ' available shrink space: 79, 917 MB ' and I also see 'total size after shrink in MB = 573891'.  I expect all the free space 494 GB available shrink.  I'm wrong.    Why all the 494GBs are not available to reduce or at least half of it, I guess that instead of only available to shrink 79Gs!
  In addition, currently, I have three partitions.  For vista, office and other programs and data, C D like Factory Image of HP, a 11.3 GB and yesterday I made a partition for windows 7 with 48.83GBs and installed windows 7 Professional there.  Then I realize, I need more space to install office and other programs and data.  This is when I tried to shrink the c drive and encountered this problem.
  Can you please help me
  Thank you

  Hello

  you do not shrink the C: drive and then expand the E: drive back in the space that you did

  You cannot extend a drive backward

  and I gave you a link to read and use on the problems of shrinkage

  If as a result of the information on how vista disk management work does not fit what you want to do, you may need to buy 3rd party partition software

• I need help to create a new partition of the drive c. main on my laptop

  OK, I already tried to create a new partition and it did, but the new partition I created has become "unallocated" I don't know why, I have read the information online and they say that you cannot remove a player from the "unallocated" partition, so I am trying to create a new partition on this drive "unallocated". when its almost finished, I get warning all the time

  the operation you selected will convert the disk from basic to dynamic disk selected s. If you want to convert the disks to dynamic disks, you will not be able to boot operating systems from any volumes on the s drive (except the current boot volume). Are you sure you want to continue?

  I want to create a new partition on this disc, please help

  When I click Yes, it brings an error message saying, the 'dynamic disks are not supported on this operating system.

  I use Windows Vista Home premium

  Good info on above links.

  Read the related links section, also.

  Unallocated space is what it says it is: nothing.

  Normally, you right click on your existing drive > extend the Volume > makes a great.

  Or follow the instructions at the link above to make a second Partition to unallocated space...

• New partition resulted in dynamic disk

  When I reduce my disk to create a new partition ehit Manager of tasks, I ended up a dynamic disk of Pentecost... because at the end he ask me... what may be the problem because the windows works just fine... tnx...

  Here is an explanation of the difference between the basic disks and dynamic: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-basic-and-dynamic-disks and here is a much more detailed and the much better version if you really want to know the differences:http://www.dynamic-disk.com/dynamic-disk-resource.html.

  If I were you, I would like to convert it to a basic training using the following procedures before you begin to add data to it and use it.

  You cannot use the task for disk partition manager or convert dynamic to the base - do it with disk management (I assume that it was just a typo).

  Here is an article on how to change a dynamic disk to a basic disk: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776315%28WS.10%29.aspx.  Here is another article on the same topic:http://itsvista.com/2007/02/itsvista-tip-32-convert-a-dynamic-disk-to-a-basic-disc-in-vista/.
