• What could cause my computer to shut down when choosing the option to sleep and then a few weeks later turns on at all?

  Yesterday, the computer was working, and I shut it down normally (because he will not sleep if I choose anyway). I unplugged everything, including the power cord. He had served during the night. When I plugged everything back up, now it will not turn on. When I plug in the power cord, the Green LED indicates will power (green light in the back near the plug), but when I push the power button on the front, green back light turns off, & the computer does not illuminate.  He acts as something of a power vacuum. I have been stressed for 3 weeks trying to figure why he would not sleep, it seems now he can sleep forever!  Help, please!  It is a HP Vista computer & about 4 years old. I have never had any problems with it so far. Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thank you.

• What could cause a VI to change its behaviour according to whether he was executed alone or as part of a program?

  I tried to list the frequencies of an Agilent 4294 A impedance Analyzer. I managed to collect the data, but there are a number of additional null/zero values at the beginning of the list of frequencies. This only happens if I use the VI within a program. If the VI is run in isolation, it works perfectly. Does anyone have ideas, what could cause this behavior?

  Thanks in advance

  Chris.

  When you run a VI as a top-level, standalone VI you usually have a User Interface that is often managed by a Structure of the event.  When running as a Subvi, the cover cannot be opened (which makes the structure of the event does not respond) or certain features of the UI (for example Stop) may have a different behavior. Also the file which are derived from path of the VI paths may differ.

  As said Albert, please give us more information.  It would be best to post on the screws.

• Can I change the drive letter of the partition BDEDrive on a computer using the BitLocker encryption without causing problems?

  The computer is running Windows 7 Enterprise and has a hard drive encrypted with BitLocker. Drive s. letter is assigned to the partition of BDEDrive I am currently installing an application on this PC which uses a drive mapping, and he refuses to use anything other than its default value (which is S). The best way I can resolve this would be to reallocate the BDEdrive a different drive letter re-use then S for the application mapping.

  Change the drive letter BDEDrive will break anything, specifically with Bitlocker?

  Hello

  Given that BDEDRIVE is used for deployment, and you try to map the drive. I would recommend posting your query in the TechNet Forums.

• my computer continues to change the date and time

  my computer continues to change the date and time even after I set it correctly. I am running windows 7 Professional. Thank you

  Hello

  ·         Since when are you facing this problem?

  ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?

  Method 1:

   

   

  The date and time in the BIOS settings may be incorrect.

  Important: Change BIOS (Basic input output system) /(CMOS) complementary metal oxide semiconductor

  Settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  You can see this:

  
  Incorrect time is displayed on 64 bit versions of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 after upgrading on-site

  Method 2:

   

  I suggest you replace the CMOS battery. If you are not comfortable with that, then I suggest you to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

• What version of Adobe allows you to change the page on some pages orientaion and save the document with just a few of the tours pages?

  What version of Adobe allows you to change the orientation of the page on some pages and save the document (PDF) with only a few of the tours pages?

  Adobe is the name of the company, not the software as many people say. Since you want to know the exact software, it is important to know that.

  Any version of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro to do this. These are commercial software (a cool weather or subscription).  The free Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader cannot do this.

  Tip: there are two ways to turn the pages; alone will save him.

• Try to change the drive letter, but get the error "the parameter is incorrect."

  I am trying to upgrade my PC to run Windows 7 64 - bit on a new Intel Solid State Drive (SSD). I install Windows 7 from scratch on the new SSD (which uses the drive letter J) have just completed and changed the drive letter of my original system from C to M.

  My intention was to reuse the drive letter C to the SSD, but the Win 7 disk management tool will not allow the use of C. "All I get is a' setting is incorrect" error message.

  My first thought was to check the location of the Windows page file. It was indeed using drive J, so I put the pagefile on the D drive instead and restarted my PC.  However, this has not fixed the problem. I always get "the parameter is incorrect" when I try to use the letter C.

  What else could be the cause of this problem?

  David

  I tried a change of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices registry but it is just screwed to the top of the new installation of Windows on the SSD (it starts in a unusable mode "is not a real installation"). I was not too concerned by what I had already made my decision to reinstall Windows 7 after making changes in bios to disable all disks except the SSD and force a boot from the installation of Win 7 DVD.

  This relocation is now complete and the new partition on the SSD system has the C drive letter. A reboot with the other shows, active records that the original disc of BONE has been reassigned to the next available drive letter.

  My problem is thus solved. If it was the only way to do so is now a moot point.

• Satellite P70-A01D: change the drive letters after the 2nd SSD upgrade

  I think it's a generic UEFI / Win 8.1 question (not according to model).

  However, FWIW, I have a Satellite P70-A01D (bought locally here in Australia).

  It is a victory of 16 GB 17.3 inch Gen4 i7 4700MQ Intel HM86 8.0 64-bit RAM.
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/P70/psplpa-01d002/specifications

  I updated the OS to Win 8.1

  The P70 is supplied with a drive Bay HARD vacuum #2 - I bought a 250 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD that I want to use as the main system disk / boot Win 8.1.

  I installed this SSD in bays #2 and from there I had no problem using the wizard of Samsun cloning software provided with the SSD (VCC 4.0) to clone my 1 TB on the SSD system.

  There are a lot of instructions from Samsun and around the web on how to clone and "substitute" of a HDD with a SSD - however there are much less when it comes to 'Add' the SSD - in the #2 Bay - while always keeping the original HDD fully functional as an additional drive.

  After execution of the cloning software, I tried just go into the settings of the UEFI on reboot and change the order of the boot drive placing the SSDS over HARD drive.

  It worked but there are obviously questions still as I had not renamed readers SSD worked as system but he was editing as D: and HARD drive was still C: and most of the system/application paths were always scheduled to access C:!

  It led to the crash and restart cycles of the Bureau (? & or explorer.exe?) and two consistent error messages:
  -"SkyDrive engine Sync host has stopped working".
  -"Host for the synchronization setting process has stopped working".

  I saw in the Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Online Storage-online-online right click on each drive disk management online online that I can access > however
  (a) I'm not sure if the solution I need is this simple;
  (b) nervous about change of letter on a disk while running the system; and
  (C) uncertain steps in order of evolution [IE. C: (non - sys) becomes M; D: (sys) becomes C:...

  At the moment via UEFI I'm back to working with the system on the HARD disk rather than on the SSD seems stable and without compromise of my screwing around!

  Apologies for the long post by train to make sure to include all relevant information. I think that my final goal is double win bootable 8.1 / Ubuntu 12.04 of the SSDS probably with Ubuntu on a 50 GB partition leaving 200 GB (enough?). I want to keep a slab of SSD space available for photo and video editing: +/-100 GB!

  I wondered simply assign new letters to readers, however the notes at the bottom of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter state:

  You cannot change a drive letter if the drive is a system partition or a boot partition.

  Suggestions please?

  Hello

  I think you could try to change the letter to readers as suggested in the Microsoft article.
  Where this is not possible, try to use 3rd party such as GParted software.
  http://gparted.org/LiveUSB.php

  You could try changing the drive letters might start to the top of the unit using the live USB version.
  But it might be possible that your system would not initialize correctly after this change.

  So you should not forget to mark the partition as bootable.

  Your comments would be appreciated

• Change the drive letter of the Partition Recovery

  After previous bad experiences in trying to separate the data files program, I took the habit on my previous computer under Windows to create another partition on my hard drive to store the data files. Out of habit I still do on my desktop PC with Windows XP (great program) rather than use the My Documents folder.

  I want to do the same thing on my new DV6-3142, I use to work and create a separate partition for my data files. I understand how to create a new partition on the HDD and reassign the drive letters for the existing partitions, but I want to use the letter D for her. However, it is the letter of the drive that is used for the recovery partition.

  Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition to, say R without affecting the operation of the recovery process, or should I leave as D for the recovery of the system to work properly that I should never need her?

  Hello:

  You leave the name of the recovery partition and drive letter unchanged and your C drive: of the same name.

  If you change these, when you press the F11 key to start the recovery process, the program know what to do.

  I am a firm believer of it also have a set of factory recovery disks. For me, it is worth less than the investment of $20.  If your HARD drive fails after the warranty period, (or if you want to upgrade your HARD drive), your recovery partition doesn't help anyway.

• cannot change the drive letter of the external hard drive in XP

  I bought an Iomega 1 TB external hard drive and I can not change the drive letter.  I have a click right on my computer and select manage.  When I click on disk management, it does not recognize the outside.  The weird part is that it appears in my computer and I can access the drive without problem.  I disconnected the drive of my XP machine and connected to my Vista laptop and I was able to access it through the management of the disks without problem.  Iomega support claims that it is most likely a problem with my XP machine.  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  Hello rolandboy,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  Try to use diskpart to complete the task.

  -Click Start > run > type diskpart and press enter
  -At the prompt, type list volume , press enter
  -At the prompt, type select volume 1 (where 1 is the number of the volume is the volume that you need to change the drive letter)
    -At the prompt, type assign letter = A (where A is the letter you want to assign your volume)

  Close your CMD, and you should be finished.

  Hope this helps Chris.H

• Is it possible to change the drive letter or to hide the partition System Reserved (D :)?

  I just bought a new computer with Windows 7 and there is a reserved partition mapped to D:, I prefer to use for the DVD player. Is it possible that I can out of this drive letter, or would have done so cause problems?

  Hello and welcome!

  As you can change the drive letter, I would recommend that you do not have. The system partition reserved y at - it crashes or recovery.

  Drive letter E is usually by default for CD-ROM.

• Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition?

  HP P7-1235, Win7 64 bit running. 1 TB HARD DRIVE

  I usually partition my hard drive, so that my data is separate from the operating system and applications.  the operating system is the C: partition, and my data is generally D:.  The problem is: "D:" is used by the recovery partition.

  I can change his letter to something else, and recovery still works?

  Hello

  Well, everything has been said on this subject and its okay.

  It's better to not touch the D: partition, set another letter to your other partiion, if you change the recovery partition, you won't be able to use it.

  But you can also do a thing, you can go ahead and create your copy of the recovery disks, just enter some DVD, create your copy of the recovery Image, then you can change the drive letter of the partition Recovery to E: or even delete that.

  A copy of records RRS, you can always use them to again state of the plant, and that will reformat all your partitions, create the recovery disks and do what you want and prefer with you D: partiion.

  Thank you

• I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

  I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

  If you use your iMac as a backup to disk using Time Machine look for a folder called Backups.backupdb.

  It's what keeps you upgraded your operating system, you must remove it.

  Copy everything first if you are on a different drive. It would be wise to create a backup of the iMac on another drive also.

  Check system preferences > Time Machine and make sure that the iMac is not selected as the Time Machine drive.

• Change the drive letter for the recovery partition

  The recovery partition is, by default, the value to D: which means that if I create a data partition, it is automatically in letters f: while this is not unacceptable, it is inconvenient.  I would like to change the drive letter of the partition data on D: and set the recovery as f partition: if I do this, it will automatically disable the ability to recover?  I am running Windows 7 Professional, which is an originally installed Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

  Hello Richard9, if you change the Recovery D: HP restore partition to another letter, the recovery procedure would not work if you ever need.

  If you have files HP Recovery discs, you could delete this partition and recover the capacity of hard drive D: and use the set of diskettes to restore HP recovery to reintall the original software and the partitions of the hard drive, all as they were when shipped from HP.

• I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use.

  Quick question: I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use, when it is not.

  The question for a long time: I've updated two disks in my computer from 1 TB to 2 TB. They were e and K:. The KC: drive is used as a backup of data on E: drive.

  I copied all the data on the old drive E: to the new, but when I put the new drive in place of the old, XP wouldn't let me assign the E: drive letter. It is ironic that several times, I see the warning that if you change a drive letter, some programs may not work - so of course that Microsoft is aware of this problem - however, it is annoying when you NEED to change a drive letter to OPERATE programs, but Windows won't let you. Sometimes, trying to protect users from doing stupid things prevents them from making things work...

  Anyway, after some research, I discovered that if I put the drive E: OLD and "remove" the drive of her letter, then the letter E: becomes available again. It did not work, and my computer is now partially satisfied with his new E: drive. However, the same trick with the new drive K: does NOT work.

  I removed the letter 'k': the old K: drive, but when I install a new one, it won't let me change it. It happens to be stuck at 'l': it's no use to me because backup programs are ready to use the K:\ path.

  There is that no "K:" drive in my computer and I deleted the letter k: the old disk. How do I FORCE XP to designate the new drive K: so that my backup program can work again?

  Thank you.

  Did you try to start your computer in Mode without fail (repeatedly, key to tap the F8 as your computer starts) and then try to re-assignment of drive letters?
  I think that some programs on your machine may be playing with your drive letters.  Boot safe mode will allow Windows to operate with a minimum of processes that are running and you should be able to change drive letters in these conditions.
