Dual disk usage, 32 bit and 64 bit

Heres what I have. I bought a dual disk Windows 7. One disk is 32 bit the other 64 bit. I have the 64 bit (disk-1), on my desktop and all is well. I have a laptop with windows Vista, it's a proprietary computer, an Acer. What I want to find
out is can I install The Windows 7 -32 bit (disk-2) on my laptop, and run the 64 bit on my desktop. Is it legal to do this over top of the Vista 32 bit laptop.
Thank you,
Steve

No, it's not legal to use a single license in two different PCs at the same time. A product key is considered as a license. Even though two disk are provided, only a single product key will be provided, meaning, only one license but can be used with different
architectures.Two disks are provided for 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. These two releases can be used in a single PC only, and can even be at the same time as dual boot, but not in two different PCs.

Byte to bit and bit to byte conversion

Hello,
Does anyone know how to covert a byte into an array of booleans and vice versa? I think it has something to do with bitwise operations like >>.
Thanks.

If this right:
    public static byte bitsToByte(boolean[] bits)
          return bitsToByte(bits, 0);
    public static byte bitsToByte(boolean[] bits, int offset)
          int value = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
               if(bits[i] == true)
                    value = value | (1 << i);
        return (byte)value;
     }

Windows 8.0 ntoskernel has producing 100% disk usage

hello i am also having the %100 disk usage problem and am starting a thread to upload my etl. file and
see if i can get a solution. thnx. i should also mention i have tried every suggestion i have read on the internet even ones that worked for other people did not work for me i.e. (switching to high performance power plan, disabling cd drive, etc.) no matter
what i try "system" is always utilizing 90%-100% of my hard drive.
the issue started with windows 7 Ent edition and I decided to reflash the drive Cof my Laptop HP Probook 6470B with windows 8.0 ENT 64 bits and has the
same symptom ntoskrnl.exe is causing hiccups on I/O and delays . The access to C on windows 8 compared h Windows 7 is better but continue showing the issue.
Other peers on the same company not complaint of this delay but I'm sure that they have same symptom.
the symptom is that the Ntoskernel read and write constantly few bytes for fractions of second but repeatedly, the effect is that the queue disk
is high and this issue no let to use the drive C, the system need to wait that the drive is free to let that other applications can use the drive SATA.
I try to share my .etl collected with windows performance analyzer , but "ONE drive" application no let my up more of 100MB in single
file.
If you can help provide some space to upload the file will be appreciated.

Hi Wanikiya,
Unfortunately I can´t remove the Mcafee sw due that is is a policy of my company.
Checking the MS Performance tool you can see that the behavior that show the disk is caused not by Mcafee process. You can select only Process system (4) and right click and select filter selection you can see that the output match exactly with the
disk behavior.
when you put the mouse and click the top 100 % line of the graph you will see a message like this:
Path name- c:\$logfile
IO Init Stack -- [Root] /ntoskrnl.exe ? /ntoskernel.exe?/nto..../fvevol.sys!?/volmgr.sys!/partmagr.sys!?
the Pathname change in each point of the graph but the IO Init stack remain the same.
I'm afraid the the SATA drive is having an issue and windows try to fix.
But if you found something more let me know.
Let me tell you that I'm using bit locker encryption and all the data on my disk has been encrypted.
Any idea will be welcome.

Ntoskrnl.exe System %100 disk usage with windows 8.1. all the time!.

hello i am also having the %100 disk usage problem and am starting a thread to upload my etl. file and see if i can get a solution. thnx. i should also mention i have tried every suggestion i have read on the internet even ones that worked for other people
did not work for me i.e. (switching to high performance power plan, disabling cd drive, etc.) no matter what i try "system" is always utilizing 90%-100% of my hard drive and it is driving me crazy.
i can barely do anything on computer without it taking 10x times longer than it should. ive also run dskchk and boot time virus scans and malware scans. all to no avail. i have more than enough ram and a quad core cpu. when i first purchased my laptop it
was running windows 8 and was lightning fast once i upgraded to 8.1 i think is when the issue started occurring.
i am currently installing the windows assessment and deployment kit right now and will upload my etl. file to the skydrive asap.

Disk Usage stuck at 100%, Factory installed windows 8 running like a turtle not being able to use my laptop. What should i do?

I have a HP Pavillion Sleekbook 15-b002ee with Third generation core i5 processor 1.7 GHz, 500 GB Hard disk and 4 GB of RAM installed. Windows 8 came pre installed on it.
I bought this laptop 11 months ago and it worked fine for 10 months and then from the last month its presenting unusual problems. My disk usage is stuck at 100% and the laptop freezes and never lets me work or do anything. Heres what i have already done
to solve the issue but have been unsuccessful:
1) I have reset my PC completely and reinstalled windows 8 using the factory setup. Didnt solve the issue, newly installed windows displays the disk usage 100% and the performance is same i.e the system freezes.
2) I have tried adjusting my paging file, no change made a difference to the performance of my laptop. The default system managed Paging file size is something around 3.89 Gb. Does my problem have anything to do with my paging file?
3) I have tried solving this issue by disabling the "Windows Search" and "Superfetch" services and still it didnt solve the problem.
4) I have also run checkdisk on my hard drive completely. It took me a complete day to do so but still no change.
5) Before resetting my laptop, an error called "Kernel_data_inpage(http.sys)" used to come on my upgraded windows 8.1. Whats the issue?
So what should i do? Is there any problem with my hardware? Is my hard drive having bad sectors and is that causing the problem? Or is there any other technical problem which i couldnt yet find out?
I have explained my problem in a lot detail and i would like a clear answer please, i have been at this issue for many days and this forum seems like the last place where i can find relevant answer because Google isnt helping.
Thanks in advance.

100% disk usage in Task Manager when using Photoshop CC (Windows 8.1 - 64 bit)

Hi
I have been using Adobe CC for a month or two now. I own an Asus laptop with Intel i7 (2.4 GHz), 6 GB RAM, 1 TB hard disk space and 64 bit, nearly 6 months old. Following apps are currently installed: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Audition, Acrobat XI Pro, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. I recently performed an update through Adobe CC for Photoshop and Illustrator, all others are up-to-date.
I believe, but I may be wrong, that since this update Photoshop is acting weird on my laptop. When I start Photoshop, my task manager immediately indicates a 100% rate of my disk usage. This seems to wield off after it is fully operational, but when I start to edit a file, the disk usage immediately jumps back to 100%, while the CPU remains below 10%, RAM stays at 3.5-3.8 GB (only 60% of total capacity) and even the actual read and write speeds of my HDD are not particularly high (5 - 10MB max). And because of the 100% disk usage, Photoshop freezes in an instant and operating it is nearly impossible.
I already uninstalled Photoshop, went over all services and **** that could trigger this within Windows 8.1 (Google-search for: Windows 8.1 disk usage 100%) , re-installed Photoshop and I still have the same problem.
So, I was wondering if there might be a solution to this problem or if anybody else is having this problem as well?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: This error applies only when I try to manipulate, add, edit or remove text. All other functions (not related to text) seem to work properly.

No, I don't know much about that, but I found a couple links for you..

KDE 4.7: very slow and high disk usage

Since upgrade to KDE 4.7 on my i686 laptop, my system behaves weirdly. I noticed a slow down caused by a very high disk usage: when the HDD spins the cpu usage reported by the CPU monitor plasmoid is very high (~ 50%), while top reports a very small CPU load. Another strange symptom is that, when I try to close the session, the system freezes for about 15 seconds before the logout/shutdown/restart dialog window appears, again with HDD spinning furiously. If I exit the dialog window and then try to close session again it works smoothly, so I think some caching is at work at second try.
This is very painful since it slows down my workflow. Since now I tried to:
- disable nepomuk, strigi and all that using the nepomukcontroller plasmoid
- disable compositing
- delete .kde folder
- uninstall and reinstall all kde packages
without any benefit. On the same laptop I have dual boot with a 64 bit arch installation, which does not have the same problem, nor has it my 64 bit desktop pc.
Does anyone have similar issues? I don't understand what is it that makes the HDD spin so much, nor how to eventually track it down (are there som HDD usage profiling utilities?). Moreover, why top and CPU usage plasmoid report so different CPU usage stats?
I'm very confused, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Although I'm not having any of the issues as Snack, I have found KDE 4.7.0 to be a very horrible release. In fact, I'm sick and tired of the KDE release notes bragging about killing thousands of bugs each release, when in actuality the first few revisions of each stable release are horrible. When I first upgraded, I ran into at least four really nasty bugs. Although I've worked around some of them, it left a really sour taste in my mouth. Here is what I've experienced:
1.) With a new user or fresh install, there is no wallpaper by default, even if I install kde-wallpapers before I log in, it makes no difference.
2.) Sometimes kwin will crash during log out.
3.) Worse yet, if I exit a full screen game, it will more than likely crash Kwin. This is a problem on my laptop (which has intel video) and not my desktop (which has nvidia video). If I don't remember to disable desktop effects before opening a game, I may run into a problem.
4.) Although my performance is good, it's not great. I would think a laptop with a Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM would run faster than it is.
I have tested XFCE for a bit, and I do like it alot. However, with XFCE I am unable to browse Samba shares, and that is a huge problem. In addition, I find KDE's applications to be much better than what ships with XFCE, but I question whether they're worth the performance hit. I really love Kate, Gwenview, Digikam, and Amarok. I know you can install those in XFCE, but they feel out of place and then my desktop pretty much becomes a mutt. Not only that, but KDE is full featured, whereas XFCE is not. It's like I have to choose between a stable desktop or a desktop with full of bugs.
I hope that KDE 4.7.1 fixes everything, but historically it's usually the 4.x.2 release that really does the trick.

Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management

This is a question about Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management. I scan 4x5 film and sometimes end up with up to or even bigger than 1 GB files. Obviously that needs as much memory as possible. Windows XP is limited in this regard and I am in the market for a new speedy computer which won't force me to stay at a snail's pace. In this month's Shutterbug, David Brooks in his Q&A column says to avoid Vista for color management reasons, but offers no explanation or support for his opinion. He implies one should wait for Windows 7 for some unstated reason. With a calibrated monitor and printer and Photoshop controlling color files sent to the printer, why would Vista be any different or worse than XP? Is he on to something or just pontificating? Does anyone know any reliable info about Windows 7 that would make it worth waiting for?
Thanks.

Photoshop has direct access to max 3.2gb
On Mac OS X, PS CS4 can use up to 8 GB of RAM, but only directly accesses up to 3.5 GB. (Figures quoted from kb404440.) In using PS CS4 on Mac OS, though, direct Memory Usage maxes out at 3 GB even. If you set usage to 100% (3 GB), then plug-ins (including Camera Raw and filters), as well as actions and scripts, can access RAM above that 3 GB to between about 512 MB and about 768 MB total (seems to vary depending on which filters et al that you are using), leaving the rest up to 4 GB for the Mac OS. If you have more than 4 GB, then the amount of RAM above 4 GB is used by PS as a scratch disk. This increases performance significantly for most things because writing to and reading from the hard drive is much slower than doing so with RAM.
I haven't done the testing for actual RAM usage and such for PS CS4 on Vista 64, and Adobe's documentation is very much lacking in detail, but, based on the statement "If you use files large enough to need more than 4 GB of RAM, and you have enough RAM, all the processing you perform on your large images can be done in RAM, instead of swapping out to the hard disk." from kb404439, it seems that PS would be using RAM in very much the same way as I described above for Mac OS, except that the scratch disk usage in RAM wouldn't be limited to 8 GB (instead to how much you have installed). Has anyone done any performance/load testing to know for sure? I didn't see any such studies published, but I am curious if one has been done.
I will agree that there is a definite performance advantage when using PS CS4 (64-bit) on Vista 64, which I've experienced, especially when working very large compositions.
My initial recommendation to the OP to use Mac was based upon reading those articles about bad color management. As I stated before, I have never experienced that problem, and clearly the views of all that have posted here so far indicate that the problem may not be a real issue. (Perhaps this David Brooks fellow and Steve Upton both like to mess with their computers and broke something in Windows?)

PhotoShop CS5 with Windows 7 64 bits and/or Windows 7 32 bits

Hello
I just bought a new computer with an Intal QuadCore, 8 Gb of memory and Windows 7 - 64 bits edition
I plan to upgrade from a former Photoshop CS3 onWindows XP and it was a 32 bits edition
Is the Photoshop CS5 supported on BOTH Win 7 32 AND 64 bits ? Or are they different versions ?
I plan to either have a dual boot Win 7 32 Bits -    Win 7 64 bits or separate hard disk on racks, so I'll still be able to use 32 bits softwazre that don't run on 64bits
But if PhotoShop CS5 comes in 2 versions, I need to decide which one I should buy
Thanks for any help you vcan provide
have a good day
PS : Is the problem with PhotoShop CS5 running on AMD processors solved ?

Windows 7 x64 is a separate build from Windows 7 32 bit. Windows 7 Ultimate comes with BOTH.
There isn't a separate package of Photoshop CS5 for 32 bit or 64 bit. Photoshop (since CS4) installs both 32 bit and 64 bit software on a 64 bit Windows system, or only 32 bit software on a 32 bit Windows system.
Photoshop CS5 is fine with every variant of Windows 7.
Photoshop CS5 is reportedly fine with modern AMD processors, though I have only used Intel.
The detailed system requirements are here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/systemreqs/
My own (personal, subjective) opinion is that ATI (AMD) video interfaces are better than nVidia.
Hope this answers your questions.

Disk usage seems to cap at 50% - System stalls and freezes.

Model: Samsung Series 7 Chronos (NP700Z5C-s03CA)
Manufacturer: Samsung Electronics
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3635QM CPU @ 2.40GHz
Installed Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
Windows Edition: 8.1
This issue has been happening for a while now. This is my "gaming laptop" and I currently
only play WoW. Yet even with my settings turned as low as I can get them my computer halts, stalls and completely freezes.
I've noticed that my computer NEVER goes above 50% disk usage. Almost as if its capped at 50%. And when it reaches 50% is when my
problems begin. Normally these programs have most of the usage when it randomly starts freezing at 50%.
- svchost.exe Service Host: Local System (Network Restricted)
- svchost.exe Service Host: Local Service (Network Restricted)
- IAStorIcon.exe IAStorIcon (32 bit)
I guess my issue is why is my disk usage capped to 50% and how do I fix this so it can utilizes all 100% ?

CS4, XP SP3 (32 bit) and over 4 gb ram

I have an XP SP3 system with quad power and 4gb ram at present.
I found this in Memory allocation and usage (Photoshop CS2)
If you have more than 4 GB (to 6 GB (Windows) or 8 GB (Mac OS)), the RAM above 4 GB is used by the operating system as a cache for the Photoshop scratch disk data. Data that previously was written directly to the hard disk by Photoshop, is now cached in this high RAM before being written to the hard disk by the operating system. If you are working with files large enough to take advantage of these extra 2 GB of RAM, the RAM cache can speed performance of Photoshop.
This seems to refer to 64 bit but I was told it applied to 32 bit and 8gb. Is any of this true for 32 bit XP?
Thanks,
RON C

This is talking about a 32 bit app running on a 64 bit operating system.
The gist of it is that a 32 bit app, benefits indirectly from >4GB of
memory, only if the OS is 64 bit. Likewise, on 32 bit systems, there is a
similar benefit to having 4GB of RAM, even though Photoshop cannot see >
2GB.
Re /3GB: normally the OS splits the 4GB address space 50/50 with
applications. The /3GB switch allows you to shift the balance. Photoshop
can handle a larger image, but, as Jeff says, the performance suffers.
It's useful though. If you have a large image that you must process by
hook or by crook, the /3GB switch allows you to do so without running out
of RAM. I do this occasionally when I get a very large image from a
customer - generally it's go have a cup of coffee, or lunch, while the
large image is being loaded and resized. When I get back, the image is
manageable and I can reboot without the /3GB switch. I've done this on a
system with only 1 GB of ram, processing images between 50 and 100
megapixels.
FYI - the boot.ini that I use is:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional 3GB" /fastdetect /3GB /USERVA=2944 /NoExecute=OptIn
Warning: It's easy to brick your system when modifying boot.ini. Be
absolutely sure that you can boot from another drive and restore your
original file.
Images are getting larger. 32 bits is a pain. Viva la 64 bits!

U310 100% disk usage and lag

I have a Ideapad U310 which seem to lag and hang, for no good reason.
The disk usage keeps spiking to 100% (see below), which causes a lag of 2-3 seconds when swhitching from one window to another, opening the start menu or a folder (simple tasks)
There are no large programs running, Skype, Outlook and browsers primarily.
My system;

64 bit windows 8.1
Does anyone have any idea why?
Thanks!

Could this be caused by the SSD drive, drives etc? Or is it just some kind of win 8.1 feature?
I don't believe I am the only one with this issue?

Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Vista Ultimate (64-bit) on the same Mac Pro HD?

Has anyone been able to install both Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) on the same dedicated Windows hard drive? I have four HD in my Mac Pro, and one of them is dedicated for Windows (and bootable via Boot Camp). I found the following technical articles about installing Windows XP & Vista on the same hard drive (using two separate partitions) using a VMWare machine as the test system:
http://apcmag.com/howto_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystepguide.htm
http://apcmag.com/howto_dualboot_vista_with_xp__stepbystep_guide_withscreenshots.htm
Has anyone successfully installed Windows XP (32-bit) and Vista 64-bit) on the same NTFS partition?
I already have Windows XP Pro (32-bit) SP3 installed on my single NTFS hard drive. I am looking for the best way to add the Vista 64-bit installation on the same hard drive.
Any thoughts and advise are appreciated.

Windows has its own list of boot OSs, and default, from msconfig. It will sit and wait for xx-seconds on startup in Windows if you want to boot from an alternate.
As to whether Apple's OS Switcher (aka startup disk bootcamp control panel or tray icon) sees both, I had Windows Home Premium and Ultimate 64, and pretty sure OS X saw both. That was pre-Leopard and before there were 64-bit Apple drivers.
I can't think of any scenerio of wanting to mix 32-bit and 64-bit on the same paritition, you realize you can't install the one over the other and must do a clean install.
When I added a partition out of main partition (I wanted to put search index and page file on their own partition) those partitions aren't seen - are hidden - to Leopard.

Windows 7 64-bit and Quicktime - stamp sized image of player

I have Windows 7 64-bit and downloaded the latest iTunes/Quicktime program. iTunes works fine. When I open Quicktime, the logo appears in the tray, indicating it is open. However, nothing opens up on the screen. When my mouse hovers above the "Q" logo in the tray, a stamp sized screen opens above the logo and disappears after about 5 seconds. I uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime and get the same response. Ideas what is wrong?

A QuickTime display preference may have blown up for you.
If that's what is afoot, rebuilding the QuickTime preferences can help, although it can be a bit of a trial to track them down on the 64-bit systems.
Close any of the QuickTime Player buttons that are currently in your taskbar.
Now we need to change some view settings on the PC. (The preferences are kept in hidden folders.)
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
Click OK.
Next we'll navigate to your AppData folder.
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your user documents are stored on.
Open the "Users" folder.
Open the folder with the name of the Windows User account in which the QuickTime Player isn't displaying properly.
Open the "AppData" folder.
Now the hunt for the QuickTime preferences begins.
Open the "Roaming" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
If there was no QuickTime folder in \Roaming\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly
Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
Go back into the "AppData" folder.
Open the "Local" folder.
