Hard disk space shown less than there actually is after attempted ubuntu installation, please read further?
i have windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit laptop dell inspiron n5010 i7 4GB RAM 1GB Graphics ATI RADEON HD 5650 western digital hard drives 320GB
I have two separate hard disks installed (no separate partitions) one(C:) (windows drive) of 58.9 GB and the other (D:) 229GB which add up to 288.9GB. Continue reading.
As the C: drive s smaller, i try to keep it empty and i had some 20GB free space in it. but recently after i tried to install Ubuntu side by side windows, i had some problems selecting the correct drive, so I mistakenly clicked C: drive and soon realized that and cancelled the installation and removed the live cd and restarted the pc, the disk size just became 49.8GB and the free space remaining became 4 GB, i was confused. i went to disk management and saw the disk space to be the same old 58.9GB but it shows differently on 'computer' after that i used the following programs to solve this issue
1. windows chkdsk
2. disk defragmentator (windows)
3. uniblue speed up my pc
4. uniblue registry booster
5. tune up utilities (free version)
6. pirform ccleaner
nothing really helped but the last one helped clear 500MB of disk space but the total disk space is still 49.8 GB
note: i wan't to avoid going to repair the whole computer because i don't want to loose all my data as i don't have an external had disk (please don't give me other methods of taking a backup) and the D: drive is working fine which hints that it is caused by the ubuntu installation
2 AnswersOther - Hardware9 years agoi borrowed a game from my friend, since i liked it I copied the cd's contents to my pc. please read further?
I borrowed the pc version of gears of war from my friend, i liked that game so i copied the contents of that disc on my pc. As it needs the disc in the tray to play the game, i made an iso file of it and after installation, i mounted that file on a virtual drive, but it still prompts the message insert the correct disc in the tray. while i had only 1 disc for installation and running
NOTE: my pc requirements are way above recommended my OS is windows 7 64 bit(it doesn't say anything about this)
3 AnswersPC1 decade agomy windows 7 pc crashed (or whatever) when i clicked an ad by mistake.please help. bought the pc 1 year ago:(?
my pc had windows xp, so i bought windows 7 home premium which is compitable with my pc. i was on a website and i downloaded a file which probably had a virus. my pc suddenly shut down without any warnings or message and it restarted. windows took me to some recovery folder (the black screen and white text) i chose the repair option and opened windows in safe mode. it boots windows 7 but just before startup it says windows will shut down your pc to protect the files, and it shuts down. there's and option in the dell boot log (which comes before startup) [F12] which says boot from CD/DVD drive. now i had got a windows xp cd free with my pc (distribution pack) so, should i put it in and install windows xp to eradicate that virus.
i am not sure about what virus that file has but it surely looks deadly
Thanks
