  • partition 'Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk.

    I created a partition of HARD drive in order to install a system in multiboot using XP and Vista, but I did mess up the BONES of the two. Now I want to do a clean install of Vista ONLY, but I don't know how to get rid of the partition! * Example: Computer management > disk management > right-click on the volume (M) > Delete Volume * but I get an error: "Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk" can someone help me to get my Vista to original?

    P.S. I have the "Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium32 - bit Operating System Disk" provided with my computer when I bought it new. Thank you! -Jeff

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    Delete the existing Partitions during the process.

  • Can I delete the download of Service Pack 2 before installing to free up disk space?

    I got a Vista Service Pack 2 downloaded a notification and is ready to install.  I have also received notification of other updates in the past which have been downloaded and ready for installation, but I chose not to install.

    • These downloads occupy disk space?
    • If so, can I delete to free up additional disk space?
    • I'm on a laptop with only 1.5 GB of free space after the disk compression.  A real problem.
    • If I can remove the updates downloaded, how can I find them?  And what is the procedure?
    Thank you

    I don't think it's a good idea to run Wista without installing SP2 and all the essential and important updates - but the decision is yours.  Here's how to delete downloads prior to installation if thay have not already installed it.

    Stop the automatic updates service

    Click Start, choose Run (or type it in the search field).
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click on stop.
    Stopping the service will take a moment.

    Delete the content of the download folder
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
    Click OK.
    Open the download folder.
    Delete all the contents of the download folder (or just update you do not want to install)
    Close the window.

    Start the automatic updates service
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click Start.
    Starting the service will take a moment.

    By removing the contents of the download folder - you have removed the downloaded updates (or those you selected).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • A downloaded Pdf file of a manual of guard appearing on the screen, after that I closed a site I visited even if I deleted the download. How can I stop it

    The download of the Calibre manual appears on the screen whenever I close a Web site. I deleted all references to the manual of the caliber of my computer, so I guess that Firefox is accessed whenever I have access to a Web site. Could it happen? In any case how can I stop it?
    Thank you for your support.

    Thanks again for your response. I think I solved the problem. It seems I had inadvertently "pinned" manual. If I managed to find, and then click the option "detach", he was no longer listed.

  • delete the download list of the clear list"" button.

    Previous question: "is there a way to remove or disable the"Clear list"button in the download list?" was closed.

    I have the same problem, but the information seems obsolete.
    I use Firefox Version 17.0.1, as in "help > about Firefox." It shows "up-to-date".

    The "troubleshooting information:
    Name Firefox
    Version 17.0.1
    User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; RV:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17,0

    The previous solution is the following:

    1. go in help > troubleshooting information...
    2. click on open containing folder
    3. in the folder that appears (new windo in windows Explorer), go to the chrome folder
    4. open the file with a text editor userChrome.css
    5. at the end of the file, in a new line, add the following code:

    button #clearListButton

    Step 1 open the folder "of troubleshooting information.
    Step 2 States to 'Open containing folder' - it's just labeled as such; There's the view file"" button. This button opens the folder: "C:\Users\ (username) \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\81bsj68l.default. ((Nom d'utilisateur) has been removed from the path).
    Step 3 States to go to "chrome folder. There are three folders "chrome" in my "... \AppData\ folder." These records appear to be set by "flagfox", "seamonkey?" and "ghostery". «C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\ does not contain all records 'chrome'.»
    Step 4 States to open 'userChrome.css' - I'm not able to locate this file in "\AppData\ C:\Users\ (username)...". «or "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla...» ».

    Ask for help to remove the "Clear list" button from the "Downloads" window

    Hi pittsburghfather,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum

    Microsoft regularly issues updates or patches to fix security problems in their software.  The critical updates are ones that you should be concerned.  If they are not implemented, it leaves your computer vulnerable to hackers.  Service Packs are updated larger who upgrade and resolve security issues.

    The built-in Windows Update to Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP can check your PC against a common database of patches.  You have access to a Microsoft web site and your operating system is checked against critical updates and a list of proposed shows to your PC so that you can download and install these.  You must periodically.

    More recent versions of windows have an automatic update function.  It is available in Windows 2000, ME and XP.  If you enable this feature, your PC will be to search for, download, and install critical updates at night.  This eliminates the need for you to check periodically for updates.

    Usually updated Automatic download and install automatically, without intervention of that whatsoever. You also have an option of download and installation of updates by disabling the automatic updates manually.

    1. click on start and then click Control Panel.

    2. view function Panel you use, classic or category, do one of the following values:

    * Click system, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.
    * Click performance and Maintenance, click System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.

    3. click on the desired option. Make sure that automatic updates is not turned off.

  • Cannot delete the downloaded file.

    I made a simple upload form and try to use the cffile to download, rename, and delete the original file. Thus, the process goes like this.

    Step 1: The user will browse their computer to capture the image they would like to download (ex: picture1.jpg). then click on the button transfer.

    Step 2: Use a cffile which would be to download the file. (picture1.jpg)

    Step 3: Other cffile to rename the original to the user ID picture that I have in the database. (renamed in 1 ".jpg")

    Step 4: Then another cffile to delete the original picture file, so there is only 1 picture, which is that of the renowned cffile. (on server, deleted picture1.jpg 1.jpg)

    hope that makes sense. Here's the code I used to try to get there.

    I always get an error on the part of remove code.

    So now my question is this. Is it possible that I can remove 'everything' in the C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\website\temp_images\ if I had to make another file of cfm for this function?

    Make sure that some files are in C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\website\temp_image. Then complete the following test beforehand.

    This lets you see how ColdFusion stores the directory as a query object. The code that you need follow.
