  • Recovery disc red - no unnecessary files!

    I have a Pavilion dv7 with Windows 7, service pack 1. It came with a recovery partition. The partition has recently turned red. I followed the instructions to ensure there is no unnecessary file and there is not.  Any other ideas?

    When you request support, please provide the model name and product number full (pn) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

    The information requested above are on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery compartment or on the BIOS boot screen. DO NOT include your serial number. Please enter the product/model information consumer HP Online Support page and post it here for our review.

    I've never had a HP Recovery partition turns red, but which does not mean that it can't happen. In general, it is following a program to write data in the partition and it exceeds the windows 'threshold '. If you have not already created your HP recovery media, do so now. HP recovery support is your insurance against hard corruption or failure.

    If you have not already created your media and the HP Recovery Manager does not allow you to create media at this time, please contact the official support HP customer in your area / country, via the Portal Support HP's worldwide, in order to determine whether the HP recovery media is available for your computer.

  • deleting unnecessary files without buying software. is it possible a free way

    Dido is possible

    I understand that you want to remove unnecessary files. What is considered as unwanted files varies from one person to another.

    However, Windows XP includes a utility that identifies and allows the removal of the files that are widely considered to be useless files.

    To access the utility:

    1. click on the Start button

    2. click on run

    3 type "cleanmgr" (without the quotes)

    4. click on OK

    After running the utility, a list of unwanted files is returned. In general, unless there are special reasons, it is safe to leave checked the following:

    -Temporary Internet Files

    -The Office installation files (the files needed are on the installation CD)

  • all unnecessary files should be deleted?

    Have installed AVG, told to free up space to clean unnecessary files.  Is there unnecessary files that should not be deleted?

    Hello

    Unnecessary files are only created by the programs, can be your internet cache... etc., its quite safe erase these files in disk cleanup.

  • What are the unnecessary files and is at - it issues removing them?

    I need to free up some space because I ran. But I'm afraid if I delete some unnecessary files, it will have an impact on my PC.

    What type of files 'undesirables '?

    Please be more explicit. In general, Yes, because they are "undesirable".

    You can clean everything in the folder % TEMP except files currently locked. Is better to clean temp folder immediately after restarting Windows.

    What do you mean that you have run out of free space. A tool like CCleaner will identify the "junk" files that can be deleted.

  • deleting unnecessary files

    * What are the safe & reputable sites are there to remove unnecessary files and registry errors? I used to use AVG which has a set of performance that analyzes and corrects the above. But AVG missed it when I was whacked with 3 virus. Which has been corrected long ago. Anyway AVG was uninstalled and replaced with Microsoft Security Essentials. Since the abolishment of AVG, my GBs slowly use, makes me think that the registry errors and unnecessary files are piling up. I use CCleaner, but don't think it cleans everything that has accumulated. So if anyone knows a site safe and reputable which removes these questions, I would be grateful the info.*

    Kind regards

    Hello

    CCleaner is as good as any one to eliminate the unnecessary and temporary files. I do not recommend its register
    cleaner (or anyone) because type programs will usually stop and difficulty nothing. And
    Windows don't need is no longer the cleaned registry (if it ever did).

    Disk Cleanup is also good and provided with Windows.

    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    the regular windows when you can.

  • How can unnecessary files, I remove them?

    Many of my podcasts are useless files that begin with '.» _"and the name of the podcast file but contains no real information.  All these files are grouped in the category of 'Unknown' podcast on my rocket and despite several attempts to reach identification info, there is not.

    I use an iBook at home and a Windows Vista computer at work.  I would like to know how to delete files unnecessary and attribute at least identifying information in files in the category "unknown."

    TIA

    Your files need unknown labels - electronic tags that support mp3 files. Podcasters can be lax in this regard.

    You can click right into Windows and go to properties/summary/advanced and add it.

    Or make your life easier and download mp3tag, freeware from http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ the installation, allow it to be added to the context menus.

    Under Tools/Options/Tags/Mpeg default set to write ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1, more readable to the "rocket".  Make sure that you save.

    Then right-click on the podcast, highlight it in mp3tag and add the information. Doing the Podcast Genre so the "rocket" it will consolidate separately music.

    You must also run your mp3 albums through mp3tag - select all the files and click on tools. The wizard of automatic numbering with zeros (so the track numbers are 01, 02 and not 1/12, 2/12). Who will also save tags like ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1.

  • Copy-VMGuestFile creates unnecessary files

    Hi all

    I got PowerCLI in version 4.1 and I upgraded to 5.1 because of amazing new features.

    In version 4.1, I was copping files with the following command:

    Copy-VMGuestFile -LocalToGuest -Source "C:\powcli41.txt" -Destination "C:\Users\unittester\Desktop\powcli41.txt" -VM VMName -GuestUser domain\username -GuestPassword password -HostUser username -HostPassword password -force
    

    and it worked perfectly.

    In versions 5.0 and 5.1 on the virtual machine, I can see record extra, unnecessary:

    C:\Users\unittester\Desktop\powcli41.txt\powcli41.txt

    instead of required

    C:\Users\unittester\Desktop\powcli41.txt

    Could you explain how to change the order of copy-VMGuestFlie to avoid superfluous powcli41.txt folder?

    Kind regards
    Przemyslaw Sech

    You could do something like that

    Copy-VMGuestFile -LocalToGuest -VM $vm -Source C:\test.txt -Destination C:\Temp\ Invoke-VMScript -VM $vm -ScriptType bat -ScriptText "move /Y c:\Temp\test.txt c:\Temp\anothername.txt"

  • How Saveli remove unnecessary files

    I have an old Dell with XP Professional and MS Office 2007 Pro.   There seems to be many downloaded files that may or may not be of use longer.   I don't want to maintain the integrity of the operating system and MS Office, but need to free up hard drive space.  I deleted all temporary files etc and have no malware on this system.

    I would say running a free program called Ccleaner, free at cnet.com. He'll find junk files, you don't need and delete them. Don't worry, I have used this program for over a year, never had a problem. It also has the ability to find problems in the registry that need to be addressed and I also use this feature. But, I always save a backup the changes made to the registry on my desk to ensure that there is no problem. After about a month, I remove the back upward because it had no effect on my operating system.

    Download from the same web site, Revo Uninstaller. This program will list each program you have on your hard drive, the difference between this program is that it also removes registry leftovers, add/remove programs does not. You must look at all the programs on your hard drive and decide if you use the program or not, otherwise, delete. Do not touch any program that has been installed through Microsoft updates.
