What are these partitions?

I don't know exactly what all the partitions listed in the Disk Manager are for. Almost I would bet the farm that I didn't have as many partitions when I originally bought my laptop.

The laptop came with Win8 and I upgraded to 8.1 as it took place.

A few months ago, I did a factory restore as well.

It is also possible that I can have installed Dell backup and restore more than once, I wonder if this has something to do with it. It seems just something is wrong and that I wouldn't have that a large number of partitions, I certainly don't remember there being that a lot when I got it.

In particular, I wonder about the 6 recovery partitions, 5 which are small and in disk management seems to be empty. If I think the 6th, great recovery partition has in fact data recovery; because at some point, I used a third-party tool that indicated that he was not 100% free as space shows disk manager.

There is also a score of 490 mb which is unallocated, really confused by that, I don't know who did not originally exist.

I did some reading here and elsewhere in this issue, but I am still confused as to why I have 10 scores, what they are and what is necessary.

If anyone can give me an idea on this I would really appreciate it.

Here is a screenshot of disk management:

DVDs are rejected by the new security such as UEFI and SecureBoot technologies. That is why my guides emphasize a FAT32 Flash DRIVE formatted with Rufus.

A dual boot is also a bit more difficult with UEFI and SecureBoot and in my opinion not worth. Modern hardware is more than capable to run Windows as long as the host and Linux computer in one machine virtual. I often use VMware Player to do this:

  • Task Scheduler... What are these tasks and that they planned?

    Initially, MSE does scan automatically as I had planned that he... .and then there is two days, he stopped. I have switched between the options [run while you are logged in, but not using it]... and makes no diff.

    Then... I looked around and stumbled upon Task Scheduler (that I used to twist a lot during my years XP) and was stunned to see 15 tasks scheduled to run on different times and different triggers... indefinitely. I don't know any of them, and I did not had everything, or the other. I noticed that I slowed down when he was running. Then I disabled all.

    48 hours later, my PC doesn't seem different (I expect event catastrophic/s)... MSE is still running is not on calendar (which is quite ok with me, because I decided that I would really rather run it when I want).

    Question: What are these tasks and why they operate indefinitely?... .and that at the request of their? And why disabling does not seem to matter? MSE is responsible for any of them?

    BTW, registration of WMC would prevent Autostart MSE? (Because on the two failed retirements, WMC has arrived to save)

    Hi Coolnewyorker,

    Your question on "that them regular '-the answer is Microsoft.

    Scheduled tasks, include the restoration of the system, Defragmenter to Windows, Windows troubleshooting, Windows Customer Experience. You will also find tasks to check the health of your PC. It's to name a few.

    With regard to disabling them does not make any difference, you might find that not much, if anything, is actually scheduled for work when you really are on your PC. In many cases, most schedules run at about 02:00 or, in the case of everything Microsoft has planned on my machine, it does not at all simply because my system is stopped when the majority of demand is demand - or at least it used to be. Systematically, I went through them and changed the time when I was online so that information to Microsoft are downloaded - for example files that are created when the PC crashes etc.

    About MSE, as most of the applications that run on a schedule, there is a strong dependence on the PC being idle for many minutes before the start of the schedule. If you are running another program, such as WMC in record, the system is not idle, it's registration; so, Yes, WMC record could affect the operation of MSE.

  • What are these core.* files * for?

    In our OBIEE env. I see a lot of files named core.24590, core.24597, core.13896 etc... I have about 15 files like that and they take more disk space. What are these files and how do I manage them? They are in the folder $MW_HOME/instances/instance1.  (this is 11.1.1.7.1.4 on OEL 6 OBIEE)

    Thank you

    "read through the Rittman Mead Consulting " Blog Archive "Oh No! My BI server has Core dumped! There may be several reasons for this as server crashed, killing process, hit threads in weblogic, images etc. from memory. You can restrict it completely by changing the ulimit-c 0 so in this way it does not generate unexpected dumps core or you can change to the root and provide a custom for these unexpected dumps core outside of OBIEE MW reception location. You can also validate these unannounced dumps using gbp utility core and share them with Oracle's Support team to investigate the matter.

  • When I'm accommodating the toolbar of the new option to arrange the icons on the toolbar toolbar change several tools come with the words "wrong tool" and have no icon associated with them. What are these missing tools 'bad '?

    When I'm accommodating the toolbar of the new option to arrange the icons on the toolbar toolbar change several tools come with the words "wrong tool" and have no icon associated with them. What are these missing tools 'bad '?

    I see you have fixed this now, but I was about to tell you that you could have accommodated in the 'Bad' by its shortcut "I" tool.

    To save a custom toolbar, get everything the way you want and click on the button space work, click new workspace

    Type a name for the workspace, and check all three options.

    If I have to use a single screen, I use a variant of the Essentials workspace with minor panels collapsed and dock for main panels.  I call this Essentials 2

    It also seems to me that with all these options, it's stupid not to take full advantage of them, so I separate my most used instruments for their own group and double column toolbar to adjust the screen.  I tried to drop in the groups for the most used tool near the document image (right). I love it, but it take some time remembering the new positions.

    I think to delete because they bother me when they have a place in the Launchpad among my applications.

    Hi all!

    I just talk to Adobe about this and they have me remove this item.

    To do this, you must go to the finder, search ACCFinderBundleLoader_64, and then drag it to the trash.

    Then delete the trash.

  • What are multiple partitions for?

    Hello

    I have a laptop, SL500, but I; m a bit confused as to what are partitions? There WERE 3 when I got it, even if I think I have formatted one of the non-Vista partitions when I went down to XP. Others are needed? I thought I read somewhere that one of them was for the bios or something. I thought of formatting and installation of Win 7, but I prefer to clean up the mess of the partitions that I currently have.

    Was there any point for them? And is there a problem with remove them? Would I be able to reinstall these additional partitions later?

    Thanks for the help!

    Well, you don't need all these additional partitions, if you intend to install another OS, I think that the article is written with novice users in mind. With respect to recovery, I think that you don't need since you don't seem to know what to do in case of failure of the etc system. However you still cannot exclude in small groups of virus out of the equation. If you store important data on this PC, I suggest to get at least a good recovery as Acronis True Image etc software

    Regarding the bootloader, yes it is installed by default when the OS is installed, you do not need to create.

    If I was in your boots, before installing Win 7 I would first create discs of recovery in advance, then copy all the important data on an external drive, then format all partitions and break down single resulting partition into two, install Windows on one and keep the data in the second and get recovery software or at least restore points keep running.

    It will be useful.
