Few questions about partitioning and formatting in Windows 8

Hello,
I'm very shortly after a Windows 8 reinstall and I want to make use of this moment to finally understand partitioning and formatting in Windows 8.
Before using Windows 8, I was an XP user for 5 years and I actually never bothered myself with formatting my main system partition, that's probably why my computer ended up working like a slime for the last years. Anyway, by now I have been using Windows 8 for a year.
Three weeks ago I faced a system-related problem with my laptop (IdeaPad Y580) which prevented it from peacefully shutting down. A good friend of mine (XP user for his entire life, and now Windows 7 newbie user) told me, that I should keep all my non-system stuff on separate partition and that I should do the main system partition format from time to time to keep my PC out of trouble. It is sure that he took his knowledge from using XP, and here's my first question - does this method apply to Windows 8?
I mean as far as I know, back then, in XP, partitioning was possible only during Windows installation, and now, in Windows 8 we have a Disk Management for this, which do not require running Windows installation to create new partitions.
I'm mentioning this due to the fact that originally (I mean by factory settings) my drive has only one visible partition - C: (1TB), so I would need to use the Disk Management to take some space from C: partition and allocate it to the new D: partition.
In case I do this whole partitioning operation and create a D: partition, is it sure that formatting my system-only C: partition won't have effects on my D: partition, and all the programms and data I have here will stay on their places and work after format? (I'm worried about this because I've seen in some partitioning guide a warning not to format the main partition after the partitioning operation, because it would erase totally all data - I'm not sure if I misunderstood something or is it a mistake? EDIT: here's the link for this guide, just jump to the "Final Thoughts" section to see what I'm taking about: http://www.technorms.com/8438/windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition ).
If this whole method of keeping your system running fine doesn't apply to Windows 8, I guess I'm okay with having only one C: partition.
By the way, it doesn't matter for me if I create new partition in terms of conflicts with preinstalled Lenovo OneKey Recovery, since I had to reinstall my Windows 8 recently from non-Lenovo CD, and either way my laptop is now totally clean, without Lenovo stuff (I found Lenovo Recovery CD for Y580 on the internet, but it had non-single-language Windows 8 in it, and I needed a single-laguage one in order to have my Product Key recognised, so I just used a pure Windows 8 SL installer)

I just found out that I can't even transfer my Users folder or Program Data to other drive than the one with the system, because it would prevent me from updating my system or even from actually booting to my system. So apparently my whole topic is for nothing... I guess I should live with only one drive, and whenever my system totally crashes again I should do the backups to my external HDD. It's sad though that Windows 8 is a total opposite to user-friendly OS, to say the least.

Many Questions on Windows 8 and Bootcamp

Hi. I have a couple questions question on windows 8 and bootcamp. I know this is probably on the internet somewhere, but i can't find it anywhere if it is. So please don't strike me down for repeat questions.
My first question is wether or not widows 8 will run on the current version of bootcamp. I know that it is not fully compatible but can it be installed with few issues since the underlying code for windows 7 and 8 should be relatively similair. I have read a posting on line that says this is possible but i wanted a second opinion. I have a 64 bit version system builder edition shipping to me right now, is this ok.
My second question is when (if ever) the patches come out for winodws 8 to run perfectly on bootcamp, will I just be able to download them, Install the patches and everything will be just fine. Would/ could it be done with out having to reinstall the operating system. This is important because a system builder lisence can only be installed once and then i have to buy another copy of windows 8 for $100.
Any and all input would be great. Thanks!

in terms of updates to win8 then as far as windows8 goes it's running on a normal "pc" not on a mac it's not virtualization here so everything works as normal
I bought an imac 2011 version 22" 4GB ....
I installed windows7 ultimate 64bit on it
since I bought the digital update to windows 8 pro
updated over the internet (you download an exe and take it from there)
it updated fine it use the windows7 drivers so everything in terms of mac stuff works as before
I let it update the amd video card driver and got a lot of crashes at bootup
rolled back to the bootcamp win7 drivers and it's a lot better
sure every now and then startup result in a crash but a reboot always get me into win8
play games and program in win8 never had a cash when I get in and because it's native games run great
likely when the official apple win8 support comes along I will stop getting the odd crash at boot into win8

WIndows 7(64 bit), and Live Cycle ES2

Can I install Live Cycle ES2 on a WIndows 7 (64 bit) OS.

Thx a bunch.
I just wanted to try the product at home, by installing the same on my PC (Intel I7 1.6 Ghz, 4GM RAM.)

Question about Windows File Explorer and offline attribute display

In previous releases of Windows (including Windows 8), Windows File Explorer would display a small "x" icon if the offline file attribute was set. In Windows 8.1, Windows File Explorer no longer displays the "x" icon if the offline
file attribute is set. Is there a reason this behavior was changed? Is there an option to get the old behavior of displaying the "x" icon?

Hello Ed Winn,
What ‘x’ icon do you mean?
Please share us the screenshots to compare.
Based on my test, I can’t find the ‘x’ icon in the offline folder both in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
Best regards,
Fangzhou CHEN

Windows Home Server 2011 and Windows 8.1 desktop

My questions is whether a Windows Live account and a local account can be combined in Windows 8. I asked this question in Microsoft Community and
an MS employee said I should ask my question here.
Is there a way to have both active?
I want to reap the benefits of having a live account to keep everything in sync and fully utilize the features of Windows 8.1 but I have a Windows Home Server 2011 that requires that I have a local user account that matches the server side so that I can
use resources on the server.
I've seen lots of tutorials for switching between the two account types but nothing for combining them.
Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance

Your question has not been answered.
Windows Home Server 2011 does not use domains, so even if you had Windows 8.1 Pro, you'd still be left without a solution. I have one PC with Windows 8.1 Enterprise and that does work with Home Server; and a laptop with Windows 7 Pro and that works fine
too. Like you, I have issues with Windows 8.1 Pro.
Does anyone from Microsoft Server actually read these posts?
@PeterPensive,
the OP's original question was relating to "linking/combining" an MS Account with a Win8.x local account. That question was answered. (the answer is no), so, for a WHS scenario, linked accounts aren't possible, but, in Win8.x, an MS Account might be suitable
for use with WHS.
Are you confirming that an MS Account on Win8.x works ok with WHS?

Need help restoring Windows 8 Single Language and updating to 8.1

To cut a very long story short, I have 2 PC's from different manufacturers. One is mine and the other is a friend's. Both came with Genuine OEM Windows 8 Single Language preinstalled. When attempting to update my PC to 8.1 from 8.0, it failed to boot so
I took it my vendor. They tried restoring 8, which involved wiping the HDD (incl. the recovery partition) and when they failed they installed a pirate Windows 7 and accused me of "messing" with the system. They voided my warranty :'(
I made a Recovery USB. My PC boots to it but refuses to install. Says "A required drive partition is missing" (Probably the recovery partition).
So then I came across the idea of making an image from my friend's PC to install on mine, after "generalizing" his PC: ("The Sysprep /generalize command removes unique information from a Windows installation so that you can safely reuse that
image on a different computer.")
Source: Capture an Image for Deployment (Generalize)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824938.aspx
But I still have some questions:
1. When my friend's PC makes the image, will I be given the option to decide the file's location (such as creating it on an external HDD)? If not, where will I find it if I boot the PC in a live environment (such as a Windows setup DVD or Ubuntu LiveCD)?
2. How large is this image (in GB)? Can I split it?
3. After completing, how do I "undo" the generalization on my friend's PC so it goes back to normal?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PS: To Mircosoft: Please consider making the Windows 8/8.1 Single Language ISO available for OEM customers to download in case of problems. This will help us avoid these complex techniques.
Thank you.

If the system was reinstalled with a pirated version of Windows 7, the piracy can be
reported here to Microsoft.
For installation media for a system which was preinstalled by an OEM, the system manufacturer will need to be contacted. The operating system can also be installed from standard OEM or System Builder installation media if you have access to such media. If
the product key is embedded in the system firmware, the Windows installation will be able to use it.
For future reference, it is possible to include the recovery partition as part of the USB Recovery Drive, for which
the steps are available here from Windows Support. Similarly, the System Image Backup functionality from previous versions of Windows is also still available and
documented here on Windows Support.

Windows movie maker/ windows media center question

I have a camera that records video in .mov .h264 format that I save on my pc using windows live movie maker. It converts it to a wmv video format still in the 1080P resolution it was shot in. The question I have is that when I go to burn these files to a dvd using windows media center does the resulting video end up down converted to standard definition instead of the HD it was saved as. Is there something I have to change in the settings on windows media center to be able to burn these files in same 1080P resolution it was filmed in, or do I have to convert the .mov files to something other than Windows media video to be able to keep the HD quality, or do I need a different burner other than DVD(blu-ray) for example to be able to burn these files. I have a blu-ray player.

I'll let others answer the question on Windows Movie Maker...
Keep in mind if you put an HD video on a DVD... not all DVD players will support it. You may wish to burn to a Blu-Ray disk.
Personally I use Premiere Elements or Pinnacle Studio. I create an MP4 file and then save it to a DVD for those without Blue-Ray

Traktor 3.3 & SB Live 24-bit External in Windows Vista, Problem sol

Hi!, I'm from Mexico, I'm a dj, ok, few hours ago, I solved the poblem with my SB Li've External in Traktor 3.3 of NI, I use Windows vista in my tablet PC, and when I boutght it, Traktor never show me the 5. channels... I think the problem is with the driver for windows vista, one week ago I recovered my tablet and I install Windows XP, but my AMD Turion 64X2 runs bad the traktor 3.3, today I decided to install my SB Li've in W. Vista, again, And?I decided USE THE XP DRIVER CD, I had't installed any software of music in my PC, only the traktor 3.3, when I?trying to set the Audio COnfiguration in traktor I find one?option in Audio Device: ASIO4ALL v2,?and others options.the most unusual is that de option ASIO4ALL had't show me before. ok but this option allows us to use 8 outs of the SB Li've , & 2 for?front, ....etc. the last 2 outs (7 and 8), I thing that?are for the Digital Output(please confirm me it). I don't know how my?PC detected that option in traktor, I had another SB Li've External, & make the same steps & never show me that. my?NEW SB Li've Ext. I boutght it'stoday, I don't see any?unlike. Fortunately for me?traktor & SB LIVE Ext. runs great in Windows Vista. . maybe the XP Driver CD is new, I don't know! (for these news steps I never install the VISTS Driver CD).
When you configure Ur traktor Outputs, select ASIO4ALL and push the Control Panel button, Traktor will run another windows with many options.
I use this options in my PC (if U recommend me other please tell me):
Audio Device: ASIO4ALL
Sample Rate: 4400 hz
Audio Latency: 23.ms (configured in ASIO4ALL control panel)
------in ASIO4ALL control panel:
.-Select SB LIVE 24-bit Ext. and clic on enable button. if there are other please disable it.
2.- mark Always Resample at 44. Khz <-> 48 Khz, and force WDM Driver to 6 bit (optional)
?clic on exit.
go to output routing, and U will find the 8 outputs.
Note: in ASIO4ALL control panel I see a web page for support, cheak it: www.asio4all.com, maybe U will find more options.
I hope this hel
ps.
with my first SB LIve I visit this forum and many people have the same problem. . good Luck! and happy Mixes.
for questions please contact me:
[url=mailto:[email protected]">mortal_csw@hotm ail.com[/url]
www.trancemx.com
And Sorry for my bad english jaja. BYE!

ok, in output routing you will find all options to configure your outputs, for the cue?monitors select 2 outputs of the SB Li've, in my setup I have?3 &?4 outputs (C/Sub estereo output), for master I have & 2 (Front), & for Booth 5 & 6 (Rear). maybe your problem is that you have not?deactivated your old sound card, and haven't enable the SB Li've, U can use both at the same time, and get more outputs . U can configure Ur outputs?as U Like, if U use a external Mixer with 2 or 4 channels, select in output routing - mixer mode "External" and send the channels A, B, C & D in a specific?output. good Luck

Windows 7 and windows 8 desktop wired and 7510e printer connected to win 7 wireless

I have a windows 7 64 bit HPavilion Elite 150f desktop set up wired with a 7510e photosmart printer connected to it wireless, now I have purchased a windows 8 desktop HP envy 700-019 desktop.
When I set up my new windows 8 desktop I just plugged it into my wireless router/modem combo and it found my printer and I could just print from it, I did not download any software or drivers for my printer or set up a home group as I was not sure how to set it up but last night I tried to set up a homegroup,
I used my wireless network key and entered it and pressed connect, then I entered the Homegroup password that was downloaded for me from Microsoft, but my windows 7 says homegroup and my windows 8 shows private network so I am not sure what I have done wrong, I chose to only share music and printers, can anyone tell me how to do this correctly as I am not sure that I have done it properly.
On my windows 8 I can go to my printers web site by entering the static IP address that cloud support set up for me and it shows as connected but I do not want to enter any printer code as that is already set up on my windows 7, I can also scan to email on my windows 8 but I am not sure what if any security I have on my windows 8. The last time I had a homegroup set up I payed someone to do it for me so I did it by guess work more than anything, if someone can lead me through it step by step I would appreciate it.

Hi @emma22
I would like to do my best to help, but please bear in mind the issue you are expressing is an inquiry for Microsoft not HP. I did find something I think will be most helpful, and I hope it resolves the issue, but if the issue persists, or you have additional questions, it might be best to reach out to the Microsoft community.
Here is what I found; HomeGroup from start to finish.
In the top right hand corner of the article, you can change it from WIndows 7 to Windows 8. I hope this helps.

Windows 7 pro x64 and palm centro

I'm running windows 7 pro X64 and the software installed just fine, but not the driver. Does Palm have any plans for a solution? Are there any third party drivers that will solve my problem without having to install a bluetooth device on my pc?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Hello rpiquette, Welcome to the Palm Support Community!
Palm has moved away from their legacy operating system (PalmOS) and on to a new one called webOS. Since Palm Inc. doesn't even own their own software anymore (Palm Desktop) I'd seriously doubt any further support will be forthcoming for Win7, especially for 64-bit architecture.
Palm Inc. has historically not divulged any "future plans" for software (or hardware). Will a third-party develop a desktop client? I have no idea at this point, but the opportunity certainly exists!

I cannot send an email with attachment from elements 11 via windows live mail 2012 on my windows 8.1 pc. Can anyone help?

I am using elements 11, windows live mail 2012 on a windows 8.1 PC. When trying to attach an elements 11 image to an email via the sharing option in Organizer, I get a message that the email message cannot be completed, and to try Adobe mail. I have set preferences to windows live mail, but no success.

Hi,
With Windows 8, the new message sometimes hides in the taskbar
When you see the spinning circle, look at the taskbar to see if the Windows Live Mail has grown another task. Hover over the icon on the taskbar to shown the two images, right click on the right hand image and then select maximize. That should show the message ready for sending.
Good luck.

I have Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook and PSE 13. I have used the "Share photos as embedded images" feature frequently, but today when I went to use it, it wasn't there, only the option to send email with files attached. How do I get back the ability to send emails with photos embedded. I like adding the frames and backgrounds and I think it's easier for recipients to look at the photos. Thanks for any suggestions of things to try.

I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER

I am using a window 7 professional service pack 1 and I purchase REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER. but the seller did not send me any installation CD or instruction
on how to use it.
Please how can I use it on my window 7 professional service pack 1.
Thank you.

Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server. I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008.

But, the explanation of your environment begs the question - what are you trying to do? You say you have a desktop OS and you are talking about Windows Server products. In that light, your question does not make a lot of sense.
