(Solved) Managing partitions of the internal HD
Lady:
Hi Rick,
Thanks so much for responding. I am VERY cautious, that's why I was asking for consent from the forum.
As the changes will apply to disks D: and E: and I have all Windows operating files on C:, my logical thought was that nothing could hamper the operating system. On D: are my personal files and on E: my music files.
Do you still think it's dangerous? And do I understand correctly that you're suggesting a total re-installation? That's a LOT of work. :-S I could also do nothing at all. The desktop PC is functioning fine. I still don't know what the downsides of dynamic discs are.
What do you think?
Kind regards,
Lady
Lady:
Oh, I forget to mention my operating system. I have Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1.
Rick:
Rule number one;
if ain't broke, dont fix it!
-
as for new install, a lot of work today will solve a lot of time later!
Plus, keep you up to date with all the latest drivers from intell too :(
I find that intel is not supporting drivers for win7 now, that is a BIG problem in itself!
A clean reinstall now is best solution...
After re-install, there is one update need delete; I forgot whcih oneI found earlier, perhaps boggin remembers and can tell you?
it refers to WAT file, (interesting program to influence the public to upgrading to win10)
should be deleted off every system...
Lady:
Shane, would you mind taking a look at this issue with the dynamic discs?
The desktop pc is functioning pretty okay. The only "problem" is that I often have to wait for it to process things before I can continue. Is that normal? And I'm rather scared of doing this operation. Can I just leave it? A re-installation is not an option. I have been working on this pc continually since I bought it two years ago and I really don't want to do another big operation.
However, I still wanted to do the Repair All In One, so I started just now by doing the sfc /scannow. It came up with errors. Is it useful to you guys that I upload the log or can I just continue with dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth?
Thanks, as always. :cheesy:
Boggin:
I'm not in a position to advise you with the dynamic disks but run the /restorehealth cmd to see what it reports then run the sfc /scannow again.
The /restorehealth cmd tends to hang at 20% but does eventually complete.
So as not to upload the complete CBS log for the sfc /scannow, if it still reports unable to repair all files then enter -
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt
The forum may allow you to copy & paste the cmd to the cmd prompt so as to avoid typos.
This will put an icon onto the Desktop which will open the CBS log in Notepad which you can copy & paste into the reply box and will display only what it could and couldn't repair.
