Repartitioning my hard disk in the installation process of Windows 8?
I'm about to upgrade my Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 8 Pro. However, I want to expand my C drive by allocating more storage space for it. Can I do the distribution during the installation procedure? How?
Its best you re-partition the drive now using Easeus:
So, the first thing you need to do is to download Easeus at the following link
EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Manager-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html
------------------------
Proceed with the installation of Easeus:
Click Next, follow the easy on-screen instructions.
Once the installation is finished, click on finish
Click go to the main screen
Select the drive you want to resize in partition window
Drag the button until you have an amount of disk space you need, then release desired.
Click on apply to apply the changes that you just made.
Click Yes
Click Yes
Your computer will restart several times and changes will be made to the layout of the partition, this process is hands-free, so no interaction is required.

Tried to do just the update for Java Update 7-67 on my existing Java at first when I received this message, then uninstalled, hoping that would help, but now can't install at all. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
This seems to be a very rare problem because it's the only mention of it that I could find on the site to Support MS & no mention on the website of Oracle or anywhere else. This and the fact that you have to go back to a restore point to fix gives me to think that it is an interaction with another thing that has been installed on the same PC. What AV software do you use? Did you install anything else since the restore point?

Reformat the hard disk of the P105-S6114
I need to reformat the hard drive to my PC by Satellite. I inserted the disc 1, off, turned back on while pressing F12. I chose 'clear the hard disk', and this part of the process went well. It took about 1.5 hours. However, he never asked the other disk. All I get now when I turn it on is a black screen with the letter 'j' in the upper left.
Can you tell me what to do now to re - install the default software/settings of recovery disks?
Thank you!
Jin
If I understand correctly, you want to reinstall the OS with a recovery disk... In the Bios, set under the 1st boot device cd/dvdrom. Then, insert the diskette and reboot the laptop, according to the instructions on the screen that should start the installation process...
> It took about 1.5 hours. However, he never asked the other disk. All I get now when I turn it on is a black screen with the letter 'j' in the upper left.To be honest, I do not know what that letter, j, means :) BU I know, the 1st recovery disk contains bones with driver and another disc with Toshiba Utilities. Perhaps, you should go to Bios and set hdd under the 1st boot device rather id cd/dvdrom

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a (40.1 GB) partition on my hard drive, but the installer tells me that I need the driver (Promise Technology Inc. Ultra IDE Controller. I searched the Internet and tried several, but no results. Can someone point me in the right direction. I have a box to open with Technical Support, but not a lot of help out there.
Thanks in advance

original title: installation of Windows 7Hey Joe,
I suggest that you visit the gigabyte website for your region (and/or the site global http://www.gigabyte.com/?f=g ) and check your motherboard for compatibility with Windows 7.
The problem you are experiencing would imply that Windows 7 has no native driver support for your disk controller, so if Gigabyte don't have drivers that you are locked unless you buy a discreet disk controller that is compatible Windows 7.
Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.
On the other hand, you have this posted in a forum of Windows XP when it is really a problem of Windows 7.

Can I switch from MX7 to CF 9 new hard disk using the MX7 serial numbers
Hi all
I want to install the version upgrade to coldfusion 9 on a new server / hard disk, using the serial number of MX7, that has been uninstalled.
Is this possible? Potential complications?
I can't disable MX7 because this no longer exists.
Mike
Yes, when you enter the CF9 license, the installer will say 'it of a license upgrade, please provide the original of his licence' and give you another form to your CF7 license. If she likes these two licenses, you're good to go.

Re: Satellite Pro A40 - can I change the HARD disk or the same model?
Hi Forum,
do I have to wait for safe trouble by changing the hard disk between the following laptops:
old or damaged laptop:
SPA40 model PSA45E - 0013T - number GR
Series No. 34127882 Hnew/own laptop
SPA40 PSA45E-001VM-GR model number
Series N0.34117607HThanks in advance for your advice
Concerning
You can do it. No problem at all. Hard drives are not specific model of laptop parts and with hard drives is important compatibility.
On the new laptop, which you can use different hard drives. Important is that use you compatible HARD drive.Just do it. After Exchange of HARD drive install Os again and everything will be OK.

Put HP1012 in place. The installation process does not recognize the printer.
I've made sure the device is on and the usb cable is connected. Printer worked fine until I needed to reinstall the windows xp operating system. Now reinstall the printer set up the software does not recognize the printer. Before reinstalling the operating system, the printer worked great even if it is quite old. I use the original CD game in the installation process.
Problem solved. I plugged the printer into different usb port cable and the computer immediately recognized the printer. Previously, I had ports different usb, but not the one where he worked. I have 7 usb ports on this computer, and it seems that one does not work.

I'm trying to move from xp to windows 7. I spent all the requirement but she says to install the device driver required to access your hard drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files and then click OK. "what should I do? Where can I find the driver?
Guess he would seek software/drivers for the chipset MB
& sata/IDE controller software. Get the MB hardware specifications, go to the mfg
Web site & download the software and drivers. If intel, download the chipset installation
utility & install it 1. The other would be the SATA or / and drivers for the MB IDE
controllers, 'Matrix Storage console' would be the one, also chk for desktop
Internet downloads, amd, and other brand materials would be substantially the same.

When you install windows 95, which is the executable that launches the installation process, and where it is located?
The file is setup.exe. Depending on your version of Windows 95 CD, it could be in the WIN95 folder or in a subfolder of WIN95.
If you have more Windows 95 questions, great places to get responses are microsoft.public.win95.setup and microsoft.public.win95.general.discussion newsgroups. It is a Windows XP forum.

In Windows 7, you can get a lot of details by selecting Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, components, storage disks. It was very similar to Windows XP, but for all information users tend to use Everest or Belarc Advisor for additional information not available. Everest has been best Bellarc advice but they ceased to offer tan updated free version. However, the 2.20 version is always available from third-party sites.

How can I "RECORD each piece of data (and I mean everything!)" contained in the hard disk of the laptop? »
I know PC never fade completely everything, so if there is a way to get personally, I'd really like the head upward on the how to do? I would be better for me to download all this information on a PHDD, rather than handing the portable real in question so that its content of forensics experts, because current 'Communications Network serious security' we have been subjected to.
Here you go:
- Use an imaging program to create a clone of your hard drive.
- Delete the original from your PC hard drive and keep it somewhere safe.
- Put the clone in the PC.
It is the only way to really keep all while still able to use the PC. -
Hello community,
I recently bought a computer build-yourself.My question is what is the best way to mirror or save files on the two hard disks at the same time?I know there is a way in diskmgmt.msc, but I can't seem to make it work.Spec:Windows 7 Professional 64 bit8 GB ram ddr32 x 1 TB hard driveOn Saturday, 22 September 2012 00:53:18 + 0000, kevin.coe wrote:

What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.
RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
more seamlessly.Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
also have a solid plan of external backup in place."Why the RAID is (usually) a Terrible idea".
