"SupahComputah" is a Windows backup folder. They always read 0 bytes when they generally have GBs of backup. This along with the MediaId file is your old attempt at a backup.
Not that it matters ,C: has HP labeled on it yet you say it was a Dell? Are you trying to get an old OEM HDD, including OS, to run on a new "home made" PC?
If you look in the winre folder , you will find a .wim file - possibly several - that will be a fair size.
Not sure what they have put in system32 folder - worth a look - could be a fair bit in there too.
I would like to see how they have arranged those also, if you would be so kind.
MJ,
He is not trying to do anything- he has succeeded - the o/s is perfectly fine - just the low disk space warnings are annoying him.
Oh yes mjf, I meant HP computer :), my mind wandered away a bit, my old old computer was a Dell.
About what greg said, I'm not that good at Windows 7 OS or any for that matter, I just thought it would override it. Is it safe to delete the content in ( D: ) and do another backup? And I don't care for external backups since I don't really care if it the OS fails some time, I just reinstall Windows 7 and see it as cleaning my computer up since it rarely happens :)
Edit: And mjf, I did reinstall Windows 7 on the HD after the computer was built for it to work properly
Also SIW2, I get acces denied when trying to open WindowsRE or system32 folders even though I'm an Administrator.
Thanks for the replies so far everyone:)
And about fiffling around in the registry, I would rather not, I've heard it sometimes make the OS break :O
Windows blocks access to certain things even as administrator (probably to avoid accidental damage). Third party applications are probably the easiest way to get full access rather than going to hidden administrator.
eg. Partition wizard installed miniTool (free) has a partition explore option. It's useful to have anyway.
You are awful keen to get him to delete things.
He might still be looking at it - last we heard he was trying to get access to some of the folders.
MJ has given a couple of suggestions.
FreeCommander usually lets you see inside interesting places - Explorer ++ and several others are also around.
FreeCommander - freeware file manager
Taking ownership would do it too.
Take Ownership Shortcut
We might also get some more great new words like thisfiffling
Si, you should connect via TeamViewer to do a full autopsy on the Recovery Partition which doesn't belong on that computer.
I understand perfectly why you want to study these things, and it does help us run other Recov Partitions which have lost their links.
I didn't mean to get in your way, just make it clear to OP the partition does not belong there once it's clear it isn't System Active and you get what you need.
Greg, I'm sorry for not replying for the Disk Management since I cannot find it because my OS language is on Swedish and I don't seem to be able to download the languagepack from windows update because it's not there. I would think it's where you show all the discs, as in Start -> Computer, that I've already posted a screenshot of. If you could describe it, I should be able to find it.
Could it be this? Thanks by the way for the suggestions SIW2.
