  However, pay attention to this:
  "Although the risk of corruption or loss of data during a conversion are minimal, you must back up all data on the partition before you begin."
   
  Because something can and probably will happen.

• How can I see more detail in the historic window?

  Photoshop CS6.

  I know how to display the history window, but there is not much information at this location.

  By this, I mean that there is no detailed information about what I did with each layer.

  For example, my image contains a number of differently colored concentric circles, each on its own layer.

  Each layer was created using Ellipse > fixed size, then edit > stroke to color.

  My question: is it possible that I can go back and see the details of these actions? Type, size of the Ellipse, the color and the line width, etc.?

  I remember that there is some kind of system like this in early versions of Photoshop, where the history of layer was very detailed.

  Or am I wrong to remember :-)?

  Just to be sure: that will not be reflected in the history panel, but the newspaper.

  The next step is now make it possible for Windows 8 start in IDE mode.

  Here are the instructions to do this:

  http://www.Vistax64.com/general-discussion/271218-switch-AHCI-IDE-tutorial-HOWTO.html

  Welcome to all, so let me explain, I installed Windows 8 with AHCI set from the Bios, but after that I wanted to use ide (becose it starts faster) and when I put Ide from Bios, windows 7 loading screan camed upp and BSOD (blue screen of death) with a 0x0000005B error code, I tried the regedit setting thing in the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci' and then just pan the STARTING value 0 I have set it to 1 and it supposed to work, but it was a location, he always did the Bsod and I was so angry, I wanted to make it work... AND I DID IT!

  Here's the pases:
  (1) I assume that you have installed Windows Vista or Windows 8 with AHCI in the BIOS!
  Download 2) my registry fix (to add keys to the ide to regeditor) simply apply the key
  (3) now manually part regedit go to:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_Msahci
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_iaStor
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_iaStorV

  And thease three keys in the right pan, you will find a key named 'START' change all three (Msahci, iaStor, iaStorV) values from 0 to 1
  Now, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_PciIde
  , and then change the value of start on '0 '.

  (4) now that you're allmost done, restart your laptop computer and go to Bios and set between AHCI and IDE! Save the settings in the Bios and restart

  (5) Windows will be loading and VOILA! NO BSOD! , windows Vista / seven will install new Ide drivers and that you will see in the windows Device Manager you have more AHCI drivers, you have the Ide drivers!
  (6), he is invited to restart another, just restart and you will be happy

• Cannot install Windows XP after the purchase of disk

  I put the disk for Windows xp, but cannot be installed

  You should really start a new thread on this question of yours.  I'll send a message to the moderator to separate this question from this old thread and create a new one for you.

  In any case, if you have installed vista, xp will not be able to install automatically. It's because you try to downgrade your computer.

  However, if the computer already had xp on the computer, and then you could upgrade to vista automatically.

  You'd have to do is to format the hard disk in the first place, until xp can be reinstalled.

  But there may be another problem for you at this time.

  You see, if you have a computer that has been designed to use vista then xp is maybe not able to work on this computer.   You will have to go place of origin of the computer and see if your machine has hardware drivers that can be used by xp.  In others, you should check if there are drivers xp for your computer model.

  If this is not the case, then it means that your computer cannot start xp, even if you reformat the hard drive and install a new copy of xp on it.

  What is the brand and model of your computer?

• FAT32 option not available to format the hard disk during Windows 7 installation

  I have a computer of Windows 10.  The owner wants to put on Windows 7.  I change the hard drive on the mbr to gpt.  But with the BIOS to TPG, I read that it, the bios would accept FAT32 hard drive.  I don't seem to have this option only NTFS.  Question: How to format a drive in FAT32.

  Hi John,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  Before you begin, note that the FAT32 file system has size limitations. You cannot create a FAT32 partition greater than 32 gigabytes (GB). In addition, you cannot store a file greater than 4 GB on a FAT32 partition. If the partition you want to format is larger than 32 GB, NTFS format may be a better option.

  However, I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.
  Reference:

  Important notes:
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

• Reformatting laptop computer with Windows pre-installed 8

  Hi all!

  Recently I bought Lenovo Y500 with pre-installed Windows 8. I've never used Windows before 8 and this is my first time ever affected by it. I understand that Microsoft no longer use the activation key of conventional product with Windows 8 pre installed devices. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the activation key is now encrypted and incorporated in the BIOS itself. I also understand that there is a feature of system recovery and even a Clean-Install feature in Windows 8 and Windows 8 would automatically read the activation key in the BIOS while being reinstalled.
  I have read all those who want to reinstall Windows 8 and that the clean install would often suggested, but what happens if I want to reformat the laptop in all, completely destroy everything, delete existing partitions and reinstall Windows 8 after that? From a technical point of view, reformatting and repartitioning shouldn't affect the BIOS, and so I guess that if I had to reinstall Windows 8 after reformatting and repartitioning, installing Windows 8 should read the key of Activation of the BIOS always automatically and activate at the first internet connection. Or am I wrong?
  On a side note, when I bought my laptop, it did not come with the disk Installation of Windows 8, so if I had to reformat and reinstall, where I'd get the file of Installation of Windows 8? Am I supposed to download from the Microsoft Web page (if there is even a link to download it) and burn the image to a blank disc and use it to install?
  Best regards & thanks!

• Windows XP - align the disks for VDI

  Hello

  If someone actually managed to succeed this procedure following the VMware guide to http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_partition_align.pdf?

  My experience is this:

  • If you create a new vdisk of a Windows XP VM and follow the guide using diskpart.exe, the version provided with Windows XP does not support the attribute align = 64 argument i.e. create primary align partition = 64.  You cannot copy a later version on XP you will get the message incompatible version.
    
  • Creating a new vdisk of a VM in Windows 7 and with the help of dispart.exe included with Windows 7 don't seem to work.  The disc is released in the MBR and diskpart creates a partition aligned to 64. The next steps are to format the drive with 32 k allocation units which also works.  I have then create my new machine virtual Windows XP, set this new vdisk as my system disk and start build of Windows using the attached driver and controller LSI logic.  Everything seems to work, Windows installs to the hard drive, but after the first reboot I get 'disk read error.  I have proven that it is something to do with what the partition Win7 as if I reformat the partition during the installation, it works.  Also if I create a vdisk std of Win7 with no alignment stuff and that attach to my new VM WinXP, it works too.
    
  • Finally using the old tool diskpar.exe seems also to align the disc but the CD of Windows XP can not actually see the installation disc.
    

  So after trying all these different options, I still couldn't line up my Windows XP system partition before installing Windows.

  Someone has an idea what I am doing wrong?

  Ta!

  Hello.

  I guess that's why the 'recommendations for aligning VMFS Partitions' document also States "Note: align the startup disk in the virtual machine is neither recommended nor necessary." "Align the than the data in the virtual machine disks".

  It's a bit of a pain.  That being said, in the past, I used the procedure detailed in http://blog.core-it.com.au/?p=281 successfully.

  Good luck!

• Impossible to 'System' to defrag Portion of the hard disk on Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8 Pro dvt7-3000

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion dvt7-3000 CTO that has a single disk drive hard 500 GB.  The operating system has been improved in Windows7 Pro (64-bit) to Windows 8 Pro (64-bit), but the problem occurs in both operating systems.  When conducting the defragmentation of the different hard disks (C:\ D:\, HP tools and system), the percent of the "System" drive which is fragmented never changes, while the % fragmented adequately for other readers going to 0%.  Over time, the system part of the hard disk rose to 27% fragmented.  How to defragment this drive?

  Hello

  The system partition contains the boot files and recovery for Windows 7 environment and should not be défragmentée.  It will always appear to be fragmented and it is quite normal - force this partition defragment would almost certainly avoid the Windows startup.  In addition, the fragmentation in this small partition has absolutely no effect on performance.

  For much the same reasons, the recovery partitions or HP_TOOLS must be défragmentées.

  Kind regards

• Look at one of these two hard disks in Windows

  Hi guys

  Sam X 200 m/n: PSPBUA-00N007 running a Vista Ultimate operating system.

  I wanted to see if I can get Windows to recognize the two hard drives as a single. I tried to change the 2nd HARD disk to a dynamic and extending of the primary HARD drive, but it doesn't seem to work.

  Can I do this in Windows? Or is the OEM Toshiba which prevents me from doing this?

  Any suggestion would be fantastic.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  what you would have is a RAID stripe both of your HDD´s. But is there a RAID controller installed in this machine? I Don t think so and even if yes, then you need to reinstall your operating system, but you must first create a RAID 0 stripe.

  Because the machine (as I know) is not equipped with a RAID controller, then a regular SATA controller you will have no chance.

• Flow 11: Disk Cleanup Windows 10 Stream

  Just finished the installation of Win 10 on my Stream 11.  Had to remove most of my programs to make enough space to run the upgrade.

  In fact I decided to run Disk Cleanup to try to regain space. I thought that because I would be able to use HP recovery I could delete the partition hidden also.

  Starting with clean disk, including files cleaning system it has identified about 14 GB, which could be deleted, but after the race, it just seems I won, it was about 1-2 GB of disk space.

  That's happened? Why didn't a win space identified by the own drive?

  I have not deleted the hidden restore partition but as I want to be sure that everything will be OK after I do it. Am I correct in believing that the 7 GB of hidden space is recovering files and factory settings I can use more since I am now under Win 10?

  Hello @RogerM-Ohio,.

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I came across your post about disk cleanup and he wanted to help!

  I wouldn't delete the Partition Recovery, simply because you are currently using Windows 10.  If you encounter a problem in the future and necessary to restore the laptop to factory settings, the recovery Partition will be very useful.  Otherwise, you would need a recovery media.  If you insist on deleting the recovery Partition, then you make a copy first.  Please consult the following documents to help you, if necessary:

  HP computers - create and use a Microsoft recovery USB drive (Windows 10)

  HP computers - create a recovery Image on disc or save a recovery Image on a USB drive (Windows 8)
