  • Which files are safe from my C drive to another drive

    I understand that Vista partitions the hard drive into 2 discs. On mine, it seems to be C (Vista) and E (data). My C drive is now full to 90%, while the E drive is (90%) free. I said I should move some files from drive C on the E drive to free up space. I was given good advice? If so, which files are safe to fly over as I really don't want to lose something important. As you can see, my computer knowledge is very basic and any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Thank you Walter,.

    There are 113 GB on drive E. There is a folder there called recovery of HARD drive, but the drive is definitely called DATA. Should I continue to move files?

  • How can I find which files are missing in my video so that I can burn it to a DVD? Help!

    have made a video for my friends moving away party (his tmrw night, I need this burned on a DVD as soon as POSSIBLE!) So the film has mainly pictures, with a few songs mp3 in the background and some wmv files. OK, everything works correctly in Windows Movie Maker, and as soon as I click "publish on a DVD" I get a box saying that it saves and will be reopened in Windows DVD maker. This isn't so. Create DVD opens, I can't open my project, not to mention burn my DVD. I get a msg saying that he cannot locate one or more of my files... Help! How to determine WHICH files are missing so I can get this company to burning? I need this burned as soon as POSSIBLE, please help me!

    Are 'all' the original files that you have included in your project
    saved on your hard drive? This is important because
    Movie Maker does not archive copies of the files... it
    just saves the path to the original location. If these
    the files are no longer available Movie Maker cannot find
    them.

  • How can you tell which websites are safe to download?

    There are many sites that are regularly displayed when you're looking who want download you them.  A bit of its very useful, but I'm afraid to download for the usual reasons.  Is there a good way to determine which ones is safe?  Thanking you in advance.

    For an additional layer of security, consider using DoNotTrackPlus of abine.com. There may be some problems with installation on some versions of IE 8, but if able to install the results will be very beneficial in the protection of privacy online. If using Google Chrome installation should not be a problem. (also available in the Chrome Web Store) Also suggest adding keep my Opts-out with Chrome before March 1st Google Privacy policy achievements.

    Yes, you can delete the installation programs, unless you think you might need them. Also, take a look at Omni DiskSweeper. Omni DiskSweeper can show you the exact size and location of all your files. It will be the inventory of your disc from files that occupy more space. It can also give you a fairer read disk space than the Finder or storage tab of the about this Mac. If you want you can even delete files from OmniDisk Sweeper.

  • What Toshiba preinstalled programs are safe remove in the form of my laptop?

    Hello

    This is probably the question most google on Toshiba laptops, but I can't get a clear answer so I thought I'd come to a forum. I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite P870 and startup is very slow, and the overall performance of the computer could be better.
    In the list of stuff pre-installed below, I would like to know if there A) would make a difference in performance/speed and B) that I should really delete the

    Programs:

    Toshiba Assist
    Toshiba Config Free
    Toshiba Disc Creator
    Toshiba Eco utility
    Toshiba face recognition
    Toshiba hardware configuration
    Toshiba hDD protection
    Toshiba HDD/SSd Alert
    Toshiba Media controller
    Plug-Controller Toshiba in Media
    Toshiba PC Monitor health
    Toshiba Advanced shift control
    Toshiba Recovery Media Creator
    TOSHIBA ReelTime
    Toshiba Remote Control Manager
    Resolution of Toshiba and Plug In for Windows Media Player
    Toshiba Service Station
    Speech of Toshiba systems Applciations
    Toshiba Speech system SR motor (US) version 1.0
    Toshiba Speech system TTs Engine (US) version 1.0
    Toshiba supervisor password
    Toshiba Value Added Package

    I don't have not really met/used one of these yet and want to know which are worth keeping around, and that I can do everything right on remove.

    any advice would be greatly appreciated, but I tried the Decrapifyer program and it really helped a lot.

    Hi and welcome to our community.

    If it is no longer question of google I really hope that we will find the final answer here. ;)
    At first, I must say that each of us has a perhaps different view of this. Some of us want to use a tool of some and some of us don t like some of them is not possible to give a precise answer to your question.
    In any case I'll start with my personal opinion, but first some general information. Toshiba recovery image contains many specific tools Toshiba and public services, as well as some additional software. Toshiba-specific tools and utilities are designed to help the user with full control for laptop and also the laptop owner to get useful information on updates.

    I repeat again, what I write here is my personal opinion and I want to just describe what I do.
    I delete after clean install of OS of the system
    TEMPRO, Toshiba ReelTime, Toshiba Service Station, and other things like links to eBay, or other stuff that is completely useless to me.
    Toshiba listed specific tools are OK, but I put t need them. They start with laptop and sow in commissioning. TEMPRO and Toshiba Service Station are monitoring tools inform you about the new BIOS or driver updates. As I wrote it is very nice, but if the system works perfectly don't change anything.

    I'll go trough your list and write a comment short for each listed programs.
    -Toshiba Assist very useful tool where you can find shortcuts to all the important of Toshiba and utility tools. Leave the shortcut on the desktop
    Toshiba - Free Config - very useful tool for the monitoring of the network but not must be started with the OS. Don t he remove the disabe just in the starting System. You can start it when necessary.
    -Toshiba Disc Creator useful, but not so important. Depends on the owner of the laptop. I put t use it.
    -Toshiba Eco utility useful but for me personally not so advantageous. I removed it from the system. When I want to save energy, I just use the power of Eve plan Windows.
    -Toshiba Face Recognition - nice tool to play but I don t use. It is removed from my system.
    -Hardware configuration, one of the most important tools of Toshiba Toshiba. Check it out and don t he remove it from the system.

  • How can I prevent the PSE 12 making unwanted crops when files are opened from disk?

    These are for the most part, Sony ARW files converted .dng 5504 x 3672 is reduced to 5472 x 3080.  The second figure see unacceptable information loss.  During the edition of 4.4 Lightroom it seems fine.  Other editors work well, too.  I forgot a preference setting somehow?  Thanks for any help.

    Mr R Kelly

    Thank you!  Worked perfectly 8.5 installed according to your instructions.  Questions of culture continued well until what I understood what was going on. Elongation of Sony have emerged during treatment in ACR (which I couldn't do far.). DNG Converter applied also aspect ratio of Sony that resembled a loss of information. Allows you to change the proportions of the RX100ii 4:3 the two types of files to be treatment of the same.  What looked initially like an only problem was, in fact, two.

    I still don't understand why it was so difficult to update to ACR 8.5.  I couldn't have done it without your help, however. I consider this issue resolved.

    Thank you

    I run Windows XP. I backed up the files on a Flash 8 GB (bkf) drive. How to see what files, etc., are saved?  I tried restore but all it shows me, that's the title I assigned to the backup... I double-clicked on the two panels of the selector restore without success.

  • How can I know which files are accessed more so I can move them to another drive

    My C drive is constantly busy and is indexed to 100% much of the time.  My swap file is on my S drive and its activity is very low. How can I know what is causing all the readers of the activity on my C drive so I can move some things my S, or other?

    I realize it is not easier to simply move the files, I might have to reinstall some applications or other things. But for now, I don't know what are the files or applications, roll to the top of the activity on my C drive.

    You can use performance monitor. Type perfmon in the "Search" box and press "Enter."

    Open the drive section by clicking on the arrow

    To identify individual files in more detail, you will need the Windows Performance Toolkit

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc709422

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc825801

    Download as part of the WIndows SDK from here:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/dlx/en-us/listdetailsview.aspx?FamilyId=6b6c21d2-2006-4AFA-9702-529fa782d63b

    Select this option for components you need.

    There is a video on the use of the tool here: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/PDC/PDC09/CL16

    At a glance, use Process Explorer to identify the source of the e/s:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    On the file menu, click "show details for all processes."

    On the view menu, click on "Select columns" and check the deltas of reading and writing.

    You can also use the process monitor:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896645

    This will show you the operations of individual files so the amount of data will be huge. If a Visual inspection reveals anything, you can export the data to a csv file and use a spreadsheet to a total activity for each file.

  • How can I make sure deleted files are permantly removed from my system and non-recoverable?

    I have files that I deleted, then emptied my Recycle Bin, but I understand that these are still recoverable. They have not been sent, published or shared. How can I make sure that they are permantently deleted and not accessible from my computer. I have Windows 7 on a HP DM4 if that helps. I need simple answers because I'm a girl who is not all that computer savy. I appreciate the answers, thank you.

    It all depends on how hard you want the person you are looking for the file to work.  What you did until the preserved most of other casual users to recover files.

    If you take the hard drive to a data recovery company, they would probably still recover (unsecured) files.  You can use programs that write too much data time and time again - but even in this case, it might be salvageable.
    Government and businesses know that the only way to ensure that the files have disappeared is to destroy the drive - by crushing or it chop into pieces with a machine to grind.

Maybe you are looking for
