I barely have any small programs on there.😢The Windows folder itself is 16.1 gigs, and when you add all the other folders on the C partition, it only hits 18.9 gigs. So I have no clue why it’s claiming 30 gigs of hard drive space.
The Windows folder size is fine, but as for the rest... it really depends on how big your page file is, if hibernation is turned on, or the size of your Recycle Bin—each of those can easily gobble up a few extra GBs.
And for the record, you don't call it a "partition" in a notebook. 😁
What exactly did you rip on the Intel? Is it actually seated tight like it was before? You should probably hop into the BIOS to check those temps—let me know what kind of processor you're running, too. Also, does that Blue Screen of Death pop up after every single boot?
Look, it doesn't necessarily have to be a power issue—it could just be straight-up hardware incompatibility where the devices simply refuse to talk to each other. I mean, if you start jamming ten different USB sticks into a media player, yeah, a few of them probably aren't going to work. It's just how things go.
It’s probably incompatible for some reason—or, more likely, your USB port just isn't putting out enough juice. Does that other drive that actually works have its own dedicated power supply?
ironcyclist452 said:So, about a month ago I set up Windows 7 Home Premium—moving over from Windows XP—and there are a few things tripping me up. Is it actually normal for Windows 7 to eat up this much disk space? On my C: drive, it’s just the OS and a handful of tiny apps, yet the system itself has already ballooned to 30 gigs. Maybe it's all those updates running in the background?
Are you saying the actual Windows folder is sitting at 30 GB?
You’re going to need an 80 mm fan—but listen, you actually need to measure how thick your current one is first. Sanyo Denk has been pumping out San Acca fans ranging anywhere from 20 to 38 mm in thickness. Usually, 25 mm is the go-to standard, so just double-check if something like that will even fit inside your case without a fight.
Honestly, EVGA power supplies can be pretty loud—and their voltage regulation? Not great at all. Just head over to Newegg, plug in the parts you're looking at, and tally up the total costs.
And honestly, he’s not even going to be able to play any of the newer titles with that GPU—it just won't happen—so there's really no point in him picking up anything less than a $250 card.
Maybe around 500-$200. Honestly, you should probably list the RAM and the hard drive separately—it’ll be way easier to find someone actually looking for those specific parts that way.
Is it possible that the USB port on your TV just isn't pushing enough juice? I mean, laptop drives are usually low-draw, so they generally play nice with a single USB connection—I actually have a drive at home that works perfectly fine off one plug, even though the enclosure itself has two USB ports built-in, so I guess it really comes down to the specific casing you're using. Does your drive work okay when you hook it up to a PC using just one connector?
If you're running this through a TV, you’re obviously going to need an enclosure with its own external power supply. This one here has a 5V jack, but it doesn't come with the power cable included—though, honestly, there's a chance the TV's USB port might actually provide enough power on its own: http://www.amazon.com/external-hard-drive-enclosure/dp/B00EXAMPLE
A standard laptop drive should run just fine through a simple USB port—you shouldn't need any extra power bricks or anything fancy. Just swap out that old enclosure for this one; it’s got two USB ports available:
I'm a little lost on that bit about the LCD, though. What does the monitor have to do with the drive?
Look, you can just fire up the Database Documenter and see how much ground you can actually cover with it. Honestly, the professor is a total jerk. 😁 There’s a graphical interface included—which exists specifically so you don't have to waste your life writing endless lines of code for things you could finish in three clicks of a mouse. And if you need to deal with relations, there's an Object Dependency tool that lets you visualize exactly how everything is linked together.
Daniel Thompson9 said:So, you've already got this fully functional table for Authors—complete with First Name and Last Name columns and all the data sitting right there.
For instance: First Name Last Name Pero Perić Đuro Đurić
But what I actually need is this:
CREATE TABLE Author( FirstName TEXT, LastName text )
INSERT INTO Author (FirstName, LastName) VALUES ('Pero', 'Perić') INSERT INTO Author (FirstName, LastName) VALUES ('Đuro','Đurić')
The thing is, Access doesn't even use that syntax for creating tables: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ffice.12).aspx
I mean, what’s the actual point of what you just wrote? You have a table filled with those specific details, and now you want to create an identical table with the exact same data? 😕
Daniel Thompson9 said:Does anyone know how to check out the SQL code for an existing table in Access? The table was built using the GUI.
I'm working with Access 2010 and an accdb file format.
What do you mean, "SQL code for a table"? A table is just a standard object—it doesn't have any code attached to it. You just use Design View to set up the structure.
