Two hard disk drives, how to remove the new E drive in XP?

My XP system crashed and I reinstalled the Windows XP operating system and I have now 2 hard drives, the original C with 76 GB of space and the new E with only 2.5 GB of space and I get a message that says that my disk space is insufficient, and I can download is nothing more nor can I use the system restore because it says that there is not enough disk space.  How can I get rid of this new drive E and keep my old C drive?

You told us that if you try to install with a CD or a restore partition by pressing an F key?

The product key sticker is on the side of the hard drive?  It's a bit a strange place for the Windows product key sticker, this sticker is usually outside the computer.  You really need to make sure that you have the product key, otherwise you will not be able to install Windows!  The product key is made up of five series alphanumeric each containing 5 digits or characters in this format: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

I can only emphasise this point, you better, make sure you have the right key, otherwise you will be up the proverbial Creek without a paddle!  If you can still start the old installation of Windows, I suggest strongly that do you use ProductKey of Nirsoft to retrieve and check the key used for installation, ProductKey is available here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

How many hard drives you have installed in the computer?  If you have only one disc, and if you use a CD for installation, then when you get to the selection screen of disc and partition delete all partitions on the disk and then create a new partition using all available space on the drive and format it NTFS.  Once you do that and before you start Windows Setup, restart the computer with the CD and then install Windows on the new partition, this restart after you delete and recreate partitions avoids assignments of unexpected drive letter by the installation program.  It goes without saying that all data on the disk will be lost when you delete the existing partitions, and then create a new.

When you install Windows make sure that only the keyboard, mouse and monitor is connected to the computer, disconnect all other devices such as external hard drives, printers, flash drives, etc.

  • How to remove the new look of faucet?

    This morning, Firefox did an update, or something, and it changed the look for toolbars. She added a new tab and a sign more. I made sure that none of these 'tab' options have been checked in the options, none are. I downloaded an old version, deleted the new version, then reloaded with the former. I did it with the two older versions. I don't want anything in the upper left has nothing to do with tabs. It was not there before this morning.

    Since I've updated to the new version of Illustrator, I have had this window. I want to know how to get rid of it, because I often open files Illustrator from the Finder and it opens, if I click on the file I just opened, it asks me if I want to open a new window for her before finally disappearing when I say no. Problem is that it still does, as this time I tried to open the file and it would not clicked open. So I want to get rid of it. I could use it if it was working normally, but for now, it's just a nuisance.

  • How to remove the new AutoComplete entries?

    33 Firefox came with a new AutoComplete for forms. Unfortunately, I can't delete AutoComplete suggestions, once they have been preserved. It is a necessary feature for things like misspelled words, where you want to get rid of old (bad) semi-automatic writing, or where the user name has changed on a form, etc. With older versions, you could simply press DELETE key on AutoComplete highlighted suggestion and it would disappear, but this feature does not work with the new semi-automatic. The only solution I have found so far is to erase the browser for the last hour history 1, but which clears the good history as well as on the error.

    It seems that the formhistory.sqlite file is the problem

  • Images of a unique catalogue on two hard disks can be consolidated for a non-destructivly drive?

    My catalogue contains images of two different hard disks. One, my main drive and the other a small external. I want to draw all the files from the outside for the larger hard drive WITHOUT deleting them from the outside. I think that it's impossible to all the research I've done. I can easily move the files moving files in Lightroom, but this removes the files from the original disc. I can't import the files because they are already in the catalog. I can use Explorer to copy the files, but when I do this Lightroom ignoring double because he already knows about the image and where it was originally and still is. This is true even when the external is disconnected.

    One idea is to create a new catalog and import all of the photos in the new catalogue. If I do this will I lose any changes that I made in the original catalogue. And I can import the files from the primary drive without in fact to pass the actual raw data that is just say this new catalogue hey these pictures are already in this folder go to find them and then import the files from the outside, by physically copying in the dialog box import to lightroom from outside the main disk. This translates into a large photo file on the main drive with all the pictures imported and named the same way taken by date without destroying the files on the outside.

    Cleaning of the mistakes of the past is always much more complicated that take those time and not make them in the first place, but I have not lived my life that way. Thanks for any help.

    Best for the community,

    I want to draw all the files from the outside for the larger hard drive WITHOUT deleting them from the outside. I think that it's impossible to all the research I've done.

    Not true, it is possible.

    In your operating system, you COPY the files (and not MOVE) bigger hard disk, then point Lightroom to the new location of the pictures on the larger hard drive using these instructions (scroll down to the section called "Update folder location")

    +++ Problem +++

    No change possible 'Building in HDD Password'.
    The generation in HARD drive password' is known - but cannot remove the 'build in HARD drive password'.

    +++ Progress +++

    (1) parameters of the BIOS "Password."

    (2) the "HARD drive password" BIOS settings

    HARD = built-in HARD disk drive
    Password disk HARD = only user mode

    Change the setting "User Password = recommended" with BACKSPACE
    of 'user password = Registered' to 'user = password [empty]. "

    It follows the question: ' are you sure? [Y/N] »
    With this screen, the "User password" settings are changed back on "registered."
    No message appears as "Disabled" or empty cell.

    After the confirmation on my side, the laptop starts without asking 'building in HDD Password.
    After restarting the laptop (2nd) ask the requested 'building in drive HARD password '.

    +++ Request: +++

    How is it possible to remove the 'building in HDD Password'?

    Background is to create an image file from the hard drive without the laptop original.
    So all the security settings should be disabled on the hard drive.

    Your support is welcome

  • How to remove the disk HARD passwordon Portege R500?

    Hello

    do you know how to remove the HARD drive password? I know the current password, but if I try to remove it by changing your current password to a blank password, it does not work.
    It has password always news.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I hope that you use the correct and just HARD drive password because it of necessary to remove and delete the existing HARD disk password.
    If you have forgot the password for HARD drive then the HARD drive should be locked and you would not be able to unlock the HARD drive!

    Generally, the HARD drive password can be deleted in the BIOS.
    Please ensure that another password would be removed too.

    I found a forum thread useful on a password disk HARD similar question:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=66386𐍒

    According to the information published by the user jonr17 you must first make sure that all other like BIOS passwords, user and supervisor passwords are removed.
    Then try to remove the HDD from the BIOS password.

    Good bye

  • Satellite U400-22z - how to remove the HARD drive recovery partition

    Hallo,

    My satellite u400-22z came with a big "hdd recovery" folder on the drive hard - yes I know what it does.
    but the unbearably awful version of windows vista that came with the machine made me decide that, in the event of failure of the system, I'm still will not install this failure of the attempt of an operating system.
    So I do not have these data recovery.

    So those ~ 11 GB of junk sitting on my drive is bugging me, I can't delete the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

    How can I work around that?

    Also, is it safe or can I make it safe, to use the small apparently hidden partition (that's recovery also?) I found, which is IIRC ~ 2 GB or larger, for own purposes, without destroying my current installation of windows?

    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    Hello

    If you have a recovery disk and you do not want to store the folder in hard drive hard disk recovery, you can remove it.

    > I can't remove the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

    Remove you it as you always do to remove all files on your system.

  • How to remove the HARD drive password?

    Password, turn on your drive. I know, but cannot remove the password.
    How can I remove HDD password?

    I'm here with the solution...

    1. the HARD drive password can be removed by using security help.

    2 using the BIOS CONFIGURATION go to the HARD drive password section which should appear as follows:
    HARD drive password
    HARD = built-in HARD disk drive
    HARD drive password mode = USER only
    Registered = user password

    3 tab in the "User password" field and just enter the old password and then a new twice (once to check) as you normally would. If you don't want a password, simply press "enter" twice

    * Or try this: *.

    Enter the BIOS
    arrow to the "Registered" field HARD drive password
    Press
    Enter the existing password and then
    Enter the new password (or leave it empty if you n t want one no matter what password), then
    Meet confirm retype the new password (or leave blank (see above) then)

    That's all...

  • Satellite A30 - how to remove the hard drive

    Hi, new here...

    Can someone tell me how to remove the hard drive in my Tosh A30...

    Thank you
    captainp

    Hi Tim,.

    The hard drive on your SA30 is in the optical drive, but slide the optical drive out of its housing (undo the F5 marked screws on the bottom of the laptop).

    The hard drive will be visible fixed with four Phillips head screws that need to be removed (two on each side of the hard drive. With the removed screws, gently slide the hard drive toward the front of the laptop to disconnect its connector and carefully pull it out of its Bay.
