What happens if you delete a large file over the encryption process

I understand that Bitlocker creates a file large placeholder during the initial encryption process, leaving about 6 GB free. So I was wondering, what happens if during this process, you remove one or more of your files and empty trash, in turn leaving for example tens of gigabytes of free space "new"? Bitlocker placeholders file will not automatically increase after that. This little 'will become' what Bitlocker is trying to accomplish?

I know not if interrupt you the process and continue another day, a large placeholder file will be recreated then also fill the space you released they sleep (which is not the case in the same session when you remove some of your files).

  • What happens when you reinstal XP OS with the cd that takes me to service pack 2 and I'm at service pack 3

    I bought TurboTax and downloaded, but can I have downloaded previously because I was unable to install due to the previous installation.  After that 2 hours of phone support with TurboTax including screenshare, they stated that the problem lies in the registry. It was damaged and I had to reinstall my OS.

    What happens when you reinstal XP OS with the cd that takes me to service pack 2 and I'm at SP3?

    I finally found my OS reinstall CD, but it's waaaay above my comfort level... what I do now.

    Frankly, if TurboTax is causing this much trouble, I would use another company as the income tax act.

    Of course, you can reinstall Windows. It's a shame, if that's the only way to solve this problem. :-(
    For later use, it is sometimes necessary to download the installation file, physically disconnect from the Internet, set up a clean boot (using msconfig startup diagnosis), reboot and THEN install the large program (and then undo the clean boot, reboot and re-connect to the Internet).

    Hi Alexandre Reddy.

    The files that were used in your previous version windows are stored in the theWindows.old folder. Remove the Windows.old folder will not cause any problem you have taken a backup of the previous files as well as all the important files.

    See the article mentioned below and follow the steps to remove the folder.

  • What happens when you enable paging in the range?

    Hi all

    Recently, I started tuning VO potentially able to return a lot of data. Explore the documentation I've read on the beach of paging:
    section http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E16162_01/Web.1112/e16182/bcadvvo.htm#BCGHDDAD "42.1.5 scroll efficiently with large result sets using range paging"

    Section "42.1.5.3 What happens when you enable paging in the range" tells us that the thrust is enveloping the original query to produce a Top - N query like this
    The actual query produced to wrap a base query of:
    
    SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, SAL FROM EMP
    
    looks like this:
    
    SELECT * FROM (
      SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ IQ.*, ROWNUM AS Z_R_N FROM (
        SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, SAL FROM EMP
      ) IQ  WHERE ROWNUM < :0)
    WHERE Z_R_N > :1
    Oracle, told us http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_10002.htm#i2171079
    >
    Use the ORDER byclause order the rows returned by the statement. Without an order_by_clause, there is no guarantee that the same query that is run more than once will retrieve the lines in the same order.
    >

    So, it seems that we can ignore certain lines of original request?
    The example below illustrates this situation.
    SQL> 
    SQL> create table tst(
      2    id    number
      3   ,name  varchar2(100)
      4  )
      5  /
     
    Table created
    SQL> insert into tst(id,name) values(1,'Name1');
     
    1 row inserted
    SQL> insert into tst(id,name) values(2,'Name2');
     
    1 row inserted
    SQL> insert into tst(id,name) values(3,'Name3');
     
    1 row inserted
    SQL> insert into tst(id,name) values(4,'Name4');
     
    1 row inserted
    SQL> SELECT 'Page1', ID, NAME FROM (
      2    SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ IQ.*, ROWNUM AS Z_R_N FROM (
      3      SELECT ID, NAME FROM tst order by dbms_random.random
      4    ) IQ  WHERE ROWNUM < 3)
      5  WHERE Z_R_N > 0
      6  union all
      7  SELECT 'Page2', ID, NAME FROM (
      8    SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ IQ.*, ROWNUM AS Z_R_N FROM (
      9      SELECT ID, NAME FROM tst order by dbms_random.random
     10    ) IQ  WHERE ROWNUM < 5)
     11  WHERE Z_R_N > 2
     12  ;
     
    'PAGE1'                                  ID NAME
    -------------------------------- ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Page1                                     1 Name1
    Page1                                     2 Name2
    Page2                                     3 Name3
    Page2                                     2 Name2
    SQL> SELECT 'Page1', ID, NAME FROM (
      2    SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ IQ.*, ROWNUM AS Z_R_N FROM (
      3      SELECT ID, NAME FROM tst order by dbms_random.random
      4    ) IQ  WHERE ROWNUM < 3)
      5  WHERE Z_R_N > 0
      6  union all
      7  SELECT 'Page2', ID, NAME FROM (
      8    SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ IQ.*, ROWNUM AS Z_R_N FROM (
      9      SELECT ID, NAME FROM tst order by dbms_random.random
     10    ) IQ  WHERE ROWNUM < 5)
     11  WHERE Z_R_N > 2
     12  ;
     
    'PAGE1'                                  ID NAME
    -------------------------------- ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Page1                                     4 Name4
    Page1                                     2 Name2
    Page2                                     3 Name3
    Page2                                     2 Name2
    SQL> 
    In the first query, we lost name4 in second name1.

    Who can shed some light on this?
    Everything is so sad I think, and I should wait for unpredictable data? Or the internal mechanisms are not as described in the documentation and everything works well?

    Thank you very much.

    So what is your question? Without a deterministic order by, the top - N query used by the pagination of range feature will not do what you want. It can skip lines. It can reproduce lines on several pages.

    The documentation is correct; things are working properly. The other thing that should be obvious is that if the records are inserted in the game of records and committed between your look a page 1 and page 2, the specific records that appear on page 1 page vs 2 could change.

  • What happens if you wear on the Apple Watch so loose?

    Electroisolante of the night, you guys guys haz of the indices to see what happens when you wear it on the Apple Watch tight or loose? Please give me the thing to see what is happening

    Ok?

    Hello

    Apple recommends port Apple Watch comfortably on top of your wrist, neither too loose nor too tight and with room for your skin to breathe.

    If you wear too vaguely Apple Watch, the watch can not stay in place, sensors maybe isn't able to perform more efficiently and the group can cause rubbing. For example: with wrist detection enabled, your watch can block several times while still on your wrist, because of the watch to lose contact with your skin and believing wrongly that he had been removed from your wrist. Haptic (cuts wrist) may also be less visible. The heart sensor performance may also be affected.

    Wear the watch too tight can cause a skin irritation or discomfort.
