What happens if I select the format C:\ of Windows?

I have Windows XP sp3 installed on my local C drive.

I recently installed windows 7 on my D drive.
Can I format my C drive by selecting the format option to click with the right button on the local C drive.
If so, I have to reinstall my windows 7 again or can I directly start my windows 7.
original title: Local C drive formatting

You need to reinstall Windows 7 because the initialization information is stored on the boot drive which is C:\

I would like to save your settings and personal files and make a new custom installation:

The upgrade to Windows XP?

Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

Formatting the drive:
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
Click on drive Options
Select the disc/s click on Delete
Click new
Click on apply
Click OK
Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  • What happens IF we replace the default certificates for vCenter 5.1?

    Does anyone have specific vmware documents indicating what happens IF we replace the default certificates for vCenter 5.1 SSO, inventory, Web Client etc... services?

    I found this below at page 19 of https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vCenter/VMware-vCenter-Server-Single-Sign-On.pdf

    Certificates update

    When you install the vCenter Single Sign-On, each component that registers with it - including

    vCenter Single Sign-On himself - uses SSL to communicate between components and saved solutions.

    By default, SSL certificates are generated automatically by VMware installation and upgrade process

    and are sufficient for the operational security for most VMware customers.

    Some clients prefer to use their own self-signed or purchased SSL certificates. A tool has been developed to

    help the insertion of these certificates after vCenter Server installation. Because of the additional knowledge

    required to create and install self-signed certificates, we recommend that you review the following knowledge of VMware

    basis of articles:

    "Deployment and using the tool to automate SSL certificate.

    (VMware 2041600 knowledge base article)

    "Generation of certificates for use with the VMware Certificate SSL automation tool"

    (VMware 2044696 knowledge base article)

    In 10 years your vCenter starts (because of expiry of the certificate).

    Your users will see pesky warnings of SSL certificate when connecting components.

    Apart from that all traffic is always secure and encrypted with certificates by default, you have simply a chain of trust for them.

  • Curiosities: what happens if I restart the NFS server?

    Hi guys,.

    I use Linux as a NFS data store. I'm just curious, regularly there as updates of the kernel, etc. that requires a reboot. What happens if I restart the NFS server without:

    1. turn off the virtual machine on it

    2. without disconnecting the ESXi host data store

    What is the proper way to restart the NFS server?

    Thanks ^^

    If you mean 'a good' (without no timeout error appears in the log), then delete NFS datastore is the whole procedure before you restart the NFS server. Unlike datastore VMFS, by removing the NFS datastore, that this will not completely remove the storage at all, instead you only remove it from the ESX host and you can reconnect the NFS mounting even whenever you want.

  • By selecting the MTS files in Windows Explorer hangs 64-bit Windows 7

    I have a Canon VIXIA HF100 HD camcorder which produces MTS files on a SD memory card.  When I plug the SD card in my PC, I see the files listed in Windows Explorer.  When I click on one of the files, my computer freezes.  Totally inadmissible, including the mouse.  My first thought was a defective material, but I was able to copy the files to another computer and put them on a USB key.  When I plug the USB into my computer and try again to select a MTS file, I get blocked again. Then as I tried to turn off the preview feature icon, thinking it was a codec problem, trying to extract the thumbnail view.  This did not help.  I don't see anything else to do.  What happens when I select a file in the Explorer?

  • I can view is no longer the video files to the format AVCHD using Windows Media Player on my desktop

    I can view is no longer the video files to the format AVCHD using Windows Media Player on my desktop.

    I could at some point... but now all I get is audio, no video.  The files open and work on

    my laptop that also uses Windows Media Player... but for some reason now... nadda.  Seemed

    This all started when I upgraded Windows more late service CAP and also installed Real Player.

    Help!

    Hello

    • What version of Windows are you using?

    1. it is possible that you are missing the codec to play the file or it is clashing with other codec files.

    2. the link provided below lists supported by Windows Media Player file format.
    It does not list the AVCHD or. MTS files supported file format directly:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    3. yet we cannot be sure at this point that the issue is due to interference with some files.

    Method 1:
    Alternatively, you can perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem.

    Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    Please refer to the below of the help links on performing a system restore.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 2:
    You can determine which codec was used with a specific file; read the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On thefile tab, look at the Audio codec and Video codec sections.

    Then you can uninstall any installed codec and install that you need to do the job file.

    If you have several codec for the single file to work they can clash and cause problems.


    You can check the link for assistance on the issue - below

    I publish courses that will be used for computers and mobile devices (iOS and Android tablets). Most learners will have access to them by computer.

    What happens exactly when I publish using both formats? The support of the browser will be detect and launch and give more consistent training?

    I'm also curious of the best practices used by third parties.

  • Problems to use the cursor to select the format of pdf text precisely

    When you try to select a bit of text that is in a text (as opposed to a text box) on a form object, the cursor highlights several other items of text on the page.

    I'll try to reproduce it below:

    It is just the nature of the documents in pdf format, or is this something that can be avoided.

    I made sure to give each its own name text object, but the problem persists.

    Let's say that I tried to highlight all the end of this sentence.

    Note that the other texts are selected as well.  This would happen in a form when I would try to select only the text: "the end of this sentence."

    Its not impossible to select the text I want in acrobat, but it seems to be very sensitive on the forms. Just to have the cursor slightly outside the central axis of the text, and half of the shape is selected.

    Is it possible to make it more like the text in a text field?

    Thank you!

    Nope!

    It's just the way it is.

  • What happens if I have to Format my drive?

    I am new to Lightroom and I have and Lightroom 2.  I store all of my photos on an external hard drive and want to work in Lightroom it.  If I go through all the photos of my adding of keywords and attributes and create collections what happens if my computer crashes and I need to format my hard drive, will I lose everything and have to start over when I reinstall Lightroom?

    Hi, mrbbump.

    In this case, having a good backupstrategy is essential. There are many different possibilities to do so. One of the most simple should be:

    1. Get a backup disk (I recommend a portable 500Gig USB-Drive)
    2. Backup your LR catalog on a basis regular and make shure that this backup is saved in your backupdrive.
    3. Get one of the free backuptools a lot (I use Allway Sync)
    4. Tell the backuptool for save your Imagefolders on a regular basis for the backupdrive
    5. In an emergency, you can easily restore your files and the catalog.

    It's my way, others may have different suggestions.

    Cheers, Phil

  • What happens if I install the wrong version?

    While I recorded my WRT54GS router, it was a total guess as to what the version number was because the print is so SMALL that I could not see clearly. It is either version 5 or 6. So, what happens if I guessed wrong and download the wrong driver? Fatal? Possible to identify the version to have someone at Cisco search for it based on my serial number?

    Hello DL Farrell, you can use the same version of firmware for version 5 or 6 because they use the same version of the firmware update.

    To check the version number of your router, just take a look at the bottom of the unit, there is a small printed tag. It is next to the model number of your router, but if you have a hard time, you want you can check the departure of the characters of your serial number.
