lilpeanut Posted July 2, 2011 ID:448396 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Well hello there! My you've changed! I've had a heck of a time. I've been really sick and I just tried to log on with my original user name but it's still not letting me. Got a message that I wasn't allowed in the forum. Had to go back out and delete cookies again in order to get here.Wanted to ask you what you thought of Ubuntu? And a dozen other questions but I'll start with that. Still using Panda Cloud at the moment, did get Opera installed. Using that now. I like it. lilpeanut a/k/a cassiereroni Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still using Panda Cloud at the moment, did get Opera installed. Using that now. I like it. Glad to hear you like Opera! Ubuntu (and pretty much every version of Linux like Red-hat, Devian, etc.) are pretty intriguing... you might like them better then Windows- they certainly are safer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilpeanut Posted July 2, 2011 ID:448407 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Wow, I got lost for a minute there! Somehow I kept jumping to my profile page. sheesh.Before I start asking to much about OS's I accidently deleted some of my pictures when I deleted a HP Photo Application. How would I get them back? A lot of them I do want to delete because they are duplicates and triplicates, but a few of them are the only ones I have copies of. Should have uploaded them to photobucket first but, well, I think your getting to know of my dumb-dumb moves. Ok, now if I change OS's, will all the problems I've been having be fixed if I start anew like that or will the problems still be there?cassiereroni Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-FRED-BROWN Posted July 2, 2011 ID:448411 Share Posted July 2, 2011 How would I get them back?Navigate to the Recycle Bin. Highlight which pictures you want to keep, Right-click -> Restore. They will now appear in the folder where they last were before you deleted them If you've emptied the Recycle Bin, I'm afraid there's no way to recover them. Ok, now if I change OS's, will all the problems I've been having be fixed if I start anew like that or will the problems still be there?They should be gone. Windows problems will only affect the Windows OS partition, Linux problems will only affect Linux, etc. Hope that helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilpeanut Posted July 2, 2011 ID:448416 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Ok, I have an HP Pavillion 553x. The OS for it is stored on the D drive, which for whatever reason, I can't access anymore from the C drive like I used to. Such as to reinstall the OS. With some of the fixes we did I do have access to system restore again, at least it says it created a restore point but damned if I know if it really did cause I am afraid to touch to much in this thing anymore unless I talk to you first.Anyway, if I were to install Ubantu, or whatever, what would happen to all that disk space on the D drive? Could I actually use it for some good or would it be just dead space? I hate the thought of having the entire OS on that drive, it's a lot of drive space that I could be using for something else if it can be done.(and what is the hypertext for adding my webpage to my signature? I'll do it right the first time or was that the reason I had that problem?)lilpeanut(guess I better get used to this one) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can access the HP Recovery tools via rebooting your computer, and selecting F11 in the boot options. From there, you can do System Restore, Factory Reset, and access a whole bunch of other features Installing Linux (or any other OS) would require a free partition. I believe you can delete the HP Recovery Partition on "D" and install Linux there.MAKE SURE that you create a set of Recovery disks before you delete the Recovery Partition.Unfortunately, I don't know much about installing Linux. I suggest that you do some research and possibly ask around on the Ubuntu/Linux/HP forums. They'll know the answers to all of your Linux questions (and what is the hypertext for adding my webpage to my signature?

lilpeanut Posted July 2, 2011 ID:448458 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Aww, geez. I was just looking over the info for creating recovery disks and I can't. I had a problem with my dvd drive and had it replaced. I didn't notice until much later that it was replaced with a cd drive. Not a dvd/cd drive. However, I did make sure to request the old drive be returned to me so I do have that. Don't know how to go about checking it so I guess I'll have to take it to someone.

lilpeanut Posted July 3, 2011 ID:448629 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Oh God, here we go again!I was just surfing the web for the past couple of hours. Had some problems but figured them out, it was a page refreshing deal. But then I decided to shut down and restart. I was going to run a Malwarebytes scan, the long one before my pro version go bubye for good tonight.When the computer restarted I got a Blue Screen! Apparently, it happened once before, when my grandson was on the puter and he didn't ask me anything about it and just restarted the computer. (Believe me I went up one side of him and down the other for closing any window he doesn't read and understand what is being said.)Anyway, the Blue Screen said:A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.The problems seems to be caused by t he following file: PSINAflt.sysPAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREAIf this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufactureer for any windows updates you might need.If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use to remove or disable componets , restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Start Up Options and then select Safe Mode.Technical Information:*STOP: 0x00000050 ()xFF091000, 0x00000000, 0xf06175F3, 0.00000000PSINAflt.sys - Address F06175F3 base at F0608000, Date Stamp 4db8a567Beginning dump of physical memory. Physical memory dump complete.Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.Then when I restarted cause I didn't know what else to do, and thankfully it started, I got a message saying there was a serious error when starting and it was going to send a report to MS.Error Signature, BCCode: 10000050BCP1: FF091000BCP2: 00000000BCP3: F06175F3BCP4: 00000000OSVer: 5_1_2600SP: 3_0Product: 256_1Then there was a link to see the more stuff and when I opened that it said:Error ReportC:\Docume~1\Mom\Locals~1\Temp\WERc0a8.dir00\mini070211.dmpC:\Docume~1\Mom\Locals~1\Temp\WERc0a8.dir00\sysdata.xmlI am completely lost with all of this. I updated a few of my drivers, couldn't tell you which now except the audio driver, and there were more, and I downloaded a number of software apps. How bad is this?
