SBS2008 level conversion and file to the C: drive

Hi guys,.

I'm looking to perform a conversion of the C drive on a Windows Small Business Server 2008 installation file-level, in order to reduce the size of the disk. Is this likely to work without problem or drive C should I look to do at the level of the block instead?

On another note, estimates on how much slower the file level is block-level and I am also curious, but if I drop the level, it would defrag which is the VM disk generated?

Thank you very much

Hi a copyist

Please use the file level which is better than block-level.  in the view performance use higher speed diks RPM so that slow will not come to the role.

If you don't succeed the first time. call it version 1.0. "

  • I moved the LR5 files by dragging them to a new location. Why the LR5 keep folders and files on the source drive internal Mac?

    my 1 TB drive iMac is full.  I bought a LaCie 3 TB external and moved from 2012 to 2014 to the new drive records.  I did carefully by renaming in year-mo-date__topic in the records of LR.   Then, I used LR5 to drag files in front of the Mac the LaCie external HD.   Successfully, everything installs and turns and usable LR5 since the 3 TB LaCie drive.  The Mac HD is no longer displayed in LR.  In Solution Explorer, I still have folders 2012, 2013 and 2014, but it is still consuming most of my internal drive.

    Why LR5 did move all files instead of what seems to be the copy?

    Hello, on a Mac, it's Finder rather than explore...

    On a Mac, there is no movement when the transfer between discs only copies. It is a large safety factor so that accidents can be overcome for example a power failure during the transfer.

    All you need to do (after saving two disks) is to move files on your internal drive to the trash and empty it then. That will free up the space.

    I lost all my data and files on the C drive (not only the files in the folder my documents, but also other files and folders on drive C, which were not necessarily on the folder My Documents) of my Asus min-laptop (Windows XP) after the restoration of the factory. What should I do to recover my files?

    Hello

    If you have reinstalled the computer using the default value of the plant. Then its likely that the files were copied to the sense that they are not recoverable. Here's a guide on the way in which the files are stored and how you 'can' be able to recover anything.

    Yes, the collection clears all of the C drive and you will lose your files. The solution would be to backup regularly to an external HARD drive and after the key one to also restore the files from the external hard drive.

    This has been answered before, if you do a search for "key recovery" it appears among the first results.

  • I have problems keeping records and files of the administrator and the user separate in my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700) under Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I have problems separating records and files of the administrator and the user. My computer is a laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700), used as a home computer only by myself, I like to keep the two distinct roles, but am unable to as Vista seems to be considered as one and the same. This scenario has arisen as follows:

    Initially, when I bought the laptop - approx. 18 months back - Windows Vista Home Premium was preinstalled, with the name 'Administrator' as an administrator. To customize the operating system and to use safely, I installed a user 'Renault', as a Standard account user.

    After awhile, I changed the name of the Director of "Renault", for reasons I have can not remember now. This caused Vista to combine folders and files of the two "users" in one, I found difficult to deal with, that I could not operate my laptop as just a Standard user, but is still considered the "administrator." On the one hand, this greatly increased spam in my email accounts. So I tried to reset the name of the administrator as 'Administrator' itself and keep my user name as "Renault", as originally the case.  But Vista me has failed to create a new user under the name "Administrator". So I created a new user under the name "System administrator", with administrative privileges. This has been accepted by Vista.

    But I forgot to change the user account for 'Renault', on the Standard account, so there was BOTH administrator accounts at the same time on my laptop! I realized that now only. The net result was that all the files that I created under the system administrator user were still being displayed under the user account of Renault. A few days back, I realized this and tried to separate the files correctly, but it has not been possible. No matter what I copied the account of the user in the files under the system administrator account, the files have been copied on account of the user himself.

    I tried to fix this by changing the name of the user account in something very different, AND as a Standard user. but this also does not work, as all folders and files under the administrator account system shows it as being under the user account of "Renault" only!

    Then, I deleted the user 'Renault' from the list of the user, but he was not yet of any help. Whenever I tried to create a new file under the system administrator, Vista responds with the message, "C:\user\Rajaram folder is not present. Will I create a new? ", which defeat the same purpose of my tent to isolate the administrator account and the user account.

    SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE WITH A SOLUTION, - OTHER THAN REFORMATTING MY C:\ DISK AND REINSTALL VISTA AGAIN - TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS, IT SEEMS TO ME YOU HAVE CREATED AND HELP ME TO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT AND OTHER UNIQUE STANDARD USER ACCOUNTS PROPERLY ISOLATED.

    I would be always grateful for a quick and helpful response.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful / sorry your proposed solution has not solved my problem. Kind regards. -Rajaram77

    Better to delete the user account except the one that was built in the administrator account that you renamed. Before this backup all your data files of these user accounts.
    Then rename the buil into account administrator as 'administrator '. Then you create another administrator account and use it and never the user built in Administrator account and leave it alone.

  • all programs and files in the menu start (excpet 4-5) have disappeared.

    I use vista.  When I click on the start menu, there are no programs not listed and when I choose all PROGRAMS there are only 8 folders listed.

    I stopped twice and logged on as user admin and regular with the same results.  All of these programs were here 2 days ago (do not use computer yesterday).

    I can use Explorer to open files on the c drive and the programs open from there without any problem.

    any suggestions...

    Thank you for your response.

    I did a system restore to 4-5 days before I noticed the problem and still had.  To make a long story short, I went 30 days to discover the culprit.

    I had downloaded a spy software called Comodo a month ago.  I care for her so I unistaleld it.  During uninstallation, he deleted my program files on the start menu.  Rather unusual, I think, so I don't have the time to uninstall a 2nd with the same result.

    I removed the Comodo manually and the system is back to normal.

  • How to pin folders and files to the taskbar?

    I have a few updates from XP to Windows 7.  How to pin folders and files to the taskbar?  I got a lot of these in my XP Quick Launch bar.

    Mike

    PIN Windows Explorer in the taskbar and you can right click to get your recently viewed files.

    You can also add toolbars to the taskbar.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/add-a-toolbar-to-the-taskbar

    A toolbar can be any folder in Windows Explorer. So you can put any selection of files to a user created folder and access these files quickly thanks to a simple icon in your taskbar.

    However, don't go overboard you can quickly run out of space on the taskbar. My toolbars are interspersed between the program pinned to the taskbar, tasks and links with the Noification area to the right. The section of the program will go to a second line below according to the needs and so you can limit the space allocated to programs if you wish.

  • Need to backup all programs and files without the System Image

    Hi all

    Recently, I myself in a dilemma. I installed 4 additional disks with the intention of creating a RAID volume supported by the BIOS. To do this, I need to change the BIOS setting of the controller which includes all the volumes, including my boot drive (that I don't intend to RAID). The problem I have is that when I pass the UEFI to RAID controller, Windows Recovery will not use the System Image I did. He said that the volume was created under a different arrangement (Bios vs. EFI).

    What are my options? Is there a different backup setting, which allows to keep all my installed software? I am not concerned with the data that I can copy it to an external volume, but it would take several days to get all of my software reinstalled. I would like to avoid this. I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows Pro 8.1 and then use a backup program to restore everything. If this is the case, then I need to know which backup program will work. If there is a better way, I would like to know. I see my options in the form, get another backup program, get a map of controller for the boot drive or the RAID volume or just reinstall.

    Thank you

  • My files on the hard drive are getting corrupted?

    I use the model of MacBook Air 2013 Yosemite running. I have a Seagate BackPlus 1 TB drive to NTFS. And I use Tuxers NTFS on my Mac to read and write files from NTFS devices. Lately, I'm sloly from knowledge that my files on the hard drive are getting corrupted. When I try to open any folder I blocks until I have remove my hard drive. I lost some files like this. Now, they are completely inaccessilble. The big sone files show even ehen 0 bytes, they are around a GB or something. I start out freak because all my data is in this hard drive. 1 TB of data. Its my life is locked in it.

    Is someone can you please tell me what is happening with my hard drive?

    Thanks in advance...

    Is someone can you please tell me what is happening with my hard drive?

    Probably not. The problem you are experiencing is almost certainly that the drive itself has failed. It could have also been caused by third party software that you use to support a formatted NTFS volume. Isolate the cause to one or the other is probably not an effort worth it, because the files themselves are probably already damaged and unusable. In this case the only alternative to certain to succeed is to restore from a backup.

    As you know the Mac FAT32 and ExFAT supports and can read, but not write - formatted NTFS volume. For this reason, if you ask the Windows compatibility, you must select ExFAT.

    You could try using the third-party data recovery software, even if success is not guaranteed. I can offer no specific product recommendations.

  • How can I get the installer for my application check the operating system type and then install the correct driver type?

    I have a request that I wrote and have been use and distribute for awhile. The installer I created for this application is an additional installer to install a driver for the USB connection. The USB connection is actually a virtual COM Port. The problem is that the people who drafted modified driver setup the installation program itself. They used to have an installer that would check for 32-bit or 64-bit OS and then install the appropriate driver.

    Now, they have two distinct installation programs: one for the other for 32-bit and 64-bit. They let the user know their OS and install the appropriate driver. I'd rather not have to rely on my users to do. From what I've seen the creater Installer provides that an executable to be run after the application installs.

    Is it possible to have the installer of the application, check the type of OS and then run the correct executable file after installing my application? I think that I could write an Installer 'wrapper' that checks the type of operating system then executes the correct Installer. But I expect a better solution.

    Thank you
    Joe

    So, I make it work!

    The trick is to find a way to determine what type of OS you are using. The method I used was, indeed, read the environment variable. A buddy of mine sent me this link:

    http://StackOverflow.com/questions/2401756/how-to-find-if-the-machine-is-32bit-or-64bit One of the phrases he bibliography the Processor_Architecture environment variable.

    It seemed like a reasonable idea. So I started to research how read LV it environment variables turns out, you do it by reading a registry key. There is an example of LV on how to read a registry key. But I did not know where they are in the registry. So, I searched the Processor_Architecture registry. I found it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment.

    According to the article in the link, this value will already be x 86 for a 32 bit OS, or something with 64 inside. I just check the response for x 86 string. If it is, I just run the x 86 version of the driver Installer. Otherwise, I run the x 64 version.

    It turned out to be as simple as that.

    I hope this helps someone.
