Questions of OS/C drive (I'm very new to windows 8)

I just took my new Dell Inspiron computer yesterday.  It has a 1 TB hard drive and Windows 8.  Forgive my simple question, but Windows 8 is very new to me.  I want to create folders on my drive hard that I have on the latest computers, but this new "OS (C)" the name of the hard drive with apparently the operating system files and the records very accessible to me.  First of all, it scares me a little that I could accidentally make a change which could affect my OS... shouldn't these files and folders may not be available for me, hidden, or something?  Second and my main question, I want to create folders of data on my hard drive.  Is it OK to create the disk "OS (C)?   It worries me that I created folders of data on a disk, called "OS" drive.   Is there something in the place where to put my data folders that also avoids any chance to affect the OS files?  Thank you!

Hi Kim27,

It's OK save files and create new folders on drive C that should not cause problems as long as you don't delete all the files in the C drive.

Operating system files may or may not be visible by the user according to the file type, however, to ensure the stability of the system, it is recommended to save the data in the 'Documents' folder on your machine because it makes the access easy data and separate.

Just reply to other questions.

  • Photoshop elements 11 software box installed once in December 2012 install on the new computer. Disc cannot be read (tested on 3 different computers). What's still possible a drive from a very meticulous, well protected?

    Dear Adobe,

    I need your help!

    December 12, 2012, I ordered (sold) by mail an official copy of the Adobe Photoshop elements 11 software box B & H Photo (New York, NY). I installed it successfully without any problems on my computer then. I appreciated the help of the program since then, it's great. Last week, however, that computer died and I was force to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1).

    To my surprise, the elements drive wouldn't load on my DVD player. The drive just kept "clicking" for 20 minutes.  After trying several times to reboot, for an hour and a half, I tried and then install on my laptop, just to see if my drive is defective. No, it wasn't. He went too immediately in an endless "by clicking on" routine tries to read the disc. And for one last try, I put it in my sister's laptop and she got the same result - no end ' by clicking on ', no. install. No computer to read the disc!

    How is it still possible from a disc of commercial manufacturing that I used once in 2012! The disc is a meticulous cleanliness, no scratches, unscuffed, put it in its original box and stored on the shelf in a cool place, away from the Sun!

    Serial number of the defective drive: 1057-4186-6029-0039-1511-3940

    Is there anything you can do about it as I don't see why I should have to spend more than $130 (in Canada) to replace a disc that worked only once!

    Cordially, André

  • Some games run very slow on Windows 8, as...

    Some games run very slow on Windows 8 as (chicken Invasion "v1, v2, v3" in red alert 2, Age of Empire 2)
    but on Windows 7 on the same Machine perform perfectly, I tried to install DirectX,.
    and tried to install the latest Version of the Driver VGA for Windows8 and tried to change VGA (Nvidia, AMD, Intel)
    but the games (not all games just a few) still running slow...? !!!
    Help, please...

    Wrong, wrong, wrong.

    This is entirely based on compatibility to a level beyond what is offered in the standard "Windows compatibility" section.  In addition to this, everything you said had absolutely nothing to do with the question.  This has nothing to do with starting or whatever it is in the same direction.

    What is happening is that something is interfering with the normal functioning of the game because of changes in the kernel of the operating system because it has been updated / rewritten since the inception of Windows XP.

    @SOVIETTION
    The most likely solution for you has nothing to do with the videobuffer here is how fix you it:

    Find the Red Alert installation directory and find the file * md.ini.
    In revenge for Red Alert 2/Yuri, it will be 'RA2MD. INI"(feel free to make a backup of the file before proceeding)
    Open it with your favorite text editor (Notepad for most people)
    Scroll down until you find the section [Video]
    Just below you will add this line-
    VideoBackBuffer = no
    Save the file in the same place and load the game.

    Enjoy!

    The VideoBackBuffer = none works perfectly, but in my case I also had to set the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2.

    Bravo for you!

  • There is a popup "jenkat new game alert" that's no way to anywhere! very annoying. I am very new to the computer and I obviously did something wrong

    I am very very new to a computer and I have no other form of assistance. I'm on the internet and saw a free game, I wanted to download/play. now I'm stuck with this pop up thing that indicates "JENKAT new game Alert." It does allow me to close. It appears in whatever it is I'm trying to do. can someboy there please help me solve this problem and I'm not going to the sites until I thoroughly learn how to use a computer :)

    thanking you in advance, libby

    Hi there, found this:

    http://answers.Yahoo.com/question/index?QID=20090823055839AAqZUAs

    Jenkat games room can be customized to disable the pop-up window of new games. Simply open the Arcade and click on the 'Settings' tab at the top. Then click on the 'Préférences' tab, and then click to remove control of the 'daily game alerts' box.

    If you need to close the Arcade, all you have to do is to find the Jenkat Games Arcade icon in your system tray (the purple cat in the lower right corner of your screen). Right-click on the icon, and then click "Exit". That would end the arcade for you, and you can restart at any time.

  • Aspire E5 - 511G: display driver intel graphics drivers hd for windows 8 (r) is no longer

    Hi all

    I bought my Aspire E5 - 511G a few days.

    I have successfully installed Windows 7 Professional (x 64).

    I installed all the drivers downloaded form the support also section successfully.

    The problem is that about every 5 ~ 10 minutes, I get the following message:

    "display driver intel graphics drivers hd for windows 8 (r) stopped responding and has recovered".

    This message itself is not a problem. The problem is that during Skype video calls after receiving this message, I see more or my own video and video of the callee.

    Not only that, restart the call does not correct the problem.

    The only solution is to restart Skype, but it does not work every time.

    I had a similar problem with youtube videos, but I solved the problem by setting NVIDIA as graphics processor preferred for the browser application, but I have no option for Skype.

    Can someone please? It is very very annoying.

    problem

    Looks like that I managed to solve the problem.

    Firstly, the link you provided was worng. The appropriate driver URL is https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24329&lang=eng

    As you can see it is the same driver for windows 7/8/8.1-64-bit.

    Second, when I download and install it I get a message that my driver is up to date already (actuall I had other issues but that's another story)

    In a Word, to install it, I did the following:

    1 downloaded the zip of the "win64_153330.zip" driver version

    2 extract the zip file to a folder.

    3. in the windows Device Manager, I uninstalled the graphics driver intel existing HD. So my screen stopped working (which is expected).

    4 restart the laptop, windows loaded with the default VGA driver.

    5. Device Manager open, the crux of the VGA, click right and choose driver update driver.

    6. in the Update Driver Wizard I chose the location of already extracted files (step 2).

    7 installing the driver successfully passed and asked windows to restart.

    Now, after the reboot, I have a Skype has appealed for about 20 minutes and did not get the pilot error.

    Also played some videos youtube - new error now.

    Summary:

    The current version of the driver (of work) is 10.18.10.3958

    The version of the driver provided by Acer's 10.18.10.3621

    I'll post an update a few days more later how things happen.

    Gaara_2k6,
    Welcome to the responses of the Forums.  The short answer to your questions are Yes and no and no.

    Depends on how you format the drive, it will delete everything on the drive.  Now, it may still be recoverable with a software specialist or moving to a data recovery company.

    If you formatted your hard drive you would not be able to start to do anything, because there would be nothing on the startup disk.  With the Windows XP CD or with the recovery media provided by the manufacturer of the PC is the only way to reinstall Windows.

  • HP Pavilion 17 t J5R51AV: driver for Qualcomm model Atheros QCWB335 Windows 7 (64)

    Hello. I'm looking for a Driver for 7 (64) of Qualcomm Atheros model QCWB335 for Windows. (802.11 b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth (r) [1 x])

    I tried HP support system discovery and recommended pilot report, he reads material and product incorrect.

    I tried this solution forward to backwards compatibility, but it did not work. http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/wireless-Internet-home-networking/driver-for-Qualcomm-Atheros-model-QCW...

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion 17 t (f000?)  P/N: J5R51AV

    I updated the BIOS to F.34

    Windows 7 Ultimate (64)

    Sp67265, sp68433, sp67625 drivers installed and cannot install the sp66402.

    Œuvres Ethernet, WLAN and Bluetooth connection are not.

    The WLAN and bluetooth worked well with Linux Ubuntu 14.04

    History of the laptop

    5 February 2015 ordered from the factory:

    HP Pavilion 17 Windows 7 Professional P/N: J8H36AV t with 802.11 b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth (r) [1 x]

    Received:

    HP Pavilion 17 Windows 7 Professional P/N: J5R51AV t with 802.11 b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth (r) [1 x]

    Out of the box, worked very well. I tried to install Ubuntu as a dualboot and discovered, I would need to tweak the installation of Ubuntu to work with 4 partitions that HP had already put in place on the hard drive. Instead, I have supported Windows with Windows backup, created a recovery disk bootable on USB using the HP Recovery Wizard. The Recovery Wizard HP said that the recovery USB disk has been a success.

    I reformatted the hard drive the Sina Active @ killdisk and installed Linux Ubuntu 14.04 successfully. All on the cell worked, including WIFI and Bluetooth. Backup Ubuntu using Ubuntu backup and also created a clone of the hardrive using Clonezilla live 2.3.2.

    Attempted to boot from HP Recovery disk on USB and it failed. Tried again, failed. Contacted HP, they have graciously sent free recovery disks. Only, they sent the recovery disc for Windows 8.1, so I contacted HP and they sent free the recovery disc for Windows 7.

    Recovery disks would work almost throughout the installation of Windows, which gives 3 errors and allowing a Setup log can be fully copied. The errors were "chkErrBB.CMD detects an error during PININST_BBV.", "check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootWarn.log." and "check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootMerg.log." Analysis the hardrive shows 4 partitions factory HP installs have been installed, the Windows shell folders folders.

    HP support had me has contacted and suggested I send the laptop and pay to install restore it, and instead I bought Windows 7 Ultimate for a clean install.

    Using the HP driver support tools, it indicates the portable bad and suggests drivers for WLAN radio that I have not installed on the motherboard.

    I've updated the BIOS F.34 and which did not help.

    I don't know how to extract the driver from the HP driver and utilities recovery disk HP sent me, it is in a file format that I don't know how to handle.

    I can connect to the internet via the ethernet cable, but not the WLAN.

    See if this driver works...

  • How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

    How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

    How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

  • Hard drive is no longer visible to windows 7 ultimate x 64

    Hi all
    I'm a MSDN. I have a number of virtual machines that I work on.

    Last night, I had two running virtual machines and failure at the same time.  They go on my F drive.

    Restarting the PC drive F is not visible to windows. I'm guessing that there is some sort of failure on the drive.

    I was looking around and found advice like going to disk management and rescan etc. No luck so far.

    I tried to switch the machine on in the BIOS, but in the bios ASUS, I do not see the mentioned drives.

    Can someone point me to a good article on how to diagnose the drive suddenly disappear like that with a failure suspected of some sort?

    This must happen a lot. I'm surprised that I wasn't able to find a good article detailed on google.

    I hope it isn't a catastrophic disk failure.

    Please accept my thanks in advance for any help you can be in this case.
