windows xp - how can I get more free space from one partition to the other with a Core 2 duo E7500 2.93 GHz

My C drive has 10 gb and my H drive has 500. The C drive has very low free-space so I can not defrag properly. Always around 7-10% free-space. When storing data or software I use the H drive because it has lots of GBs but some memory always shows up on C drive. I think C drive is the primary drive. I would like to transfer some of the unused memory or free-space from H drive to C drive or make H drive the primary drive. I have 3.21 GB of Ram

mac - How do I install boot camp on Windows 7

I have installed Windows 7 on my Mac (running 10.5 Leopard) using Boot Camp.

Windows 7 is functioning half decent but some features are not working such as wireless. When I try to install the drivers from the CD it says that it only works with Windows XP and Vista.

How can I install the Boot Camp drivers if I don't have Mac OS 10.6?

ssh - Public key authentication on Windows OpenSSH server

I have two Windows machines running on Ubuntu virtual box. Both machines have OpenSSH installed. I can connect from one to another using ssh and passwords, but I can not figure out how to use keys.

I generated keys on the client machine using ssh-keygen -t rsa, saved the public key on the remote machine as authorized_keys in the folder C:\Users\username\.ssh and changed the settings to PasswordAuthentication no in Program Files\OpenSSH\etc\sshd_config and restarted SSH server. When I try to connect I get an error

Permission denied (public key,keyboard-interactive)

grub - Windows & Linux [UEFI triple boot issues]

So I installed my OSes, three in total, in UEFI successfully. At least, I think so. They boot and work. The problem is, the grub menu no longer functions the way that it did on Legacy BIOS mode.

Before I was presented a purple menu where I could scroll down to select Ubuntu, Windows 7 or Windows 10 + a folder to select other Ubuntu options. It would boot immediately into whatever I selected.

Now though, I'm presented with a grub menu that looks the same but doesn't function the same. Instead of other options (besides Ubuntu at least), I have a whole bunch of weird options like Windows Bootloader and Windows boot.efi etc.

If I click into any of the Windows related options, it will take me to Windows 10's blue screen to select Windows 10 or 7. Now here's the problem. It doesn't immediately go into the OS I selected it takes me back to the purple menu screen via a reboot and I have to select any of the Windows options again for it to load into whatever Windows OS that I picked.

So, what could be the problem here? I tried boot-repair and followed its instructions, but the problem persists.

The steps I took for my triple boot UEFI installs was this: Change BIOS to UEFI > create Windows USB devices with Rufus GPT support > install Windows 7 > install Windows 10 > install Ubuntu 16.04 > Boot-Repair > Change in BIOS to boot off the Ubuntu drive as BR suggested (thought it said to boot off of bootXX.efi sdX). All OSes are installed on their own HDDs, by the way.

Is there any way to fix this problem? Did I do something wrong? I've been trying to figure this out for two days now and it has been hopeless.

edit

I can get some screenshots if it'll help.

Answer

I found a solution to the problem. I didn't want to revert to BIOS/Legacy, as I wanted the UEFI benefits, so I was determined and googled various minor solutions that led me to my overall solution. I posted the full steps on the ubuntu forums.

windows - Unable to switch my laptop's display to an external monitor

I have an HP G60 laptop. It's about 8 years old. Last year, the CCFL tube or inverter failed (I would see a black spot appear on the bottom right corner of the screen, which felt very hot, and eventually the screen would go black). Not long after that, it would only stay on for a few seconds before the screen went black, but the computer would remain on. This is the state that the laptop remains in as of now.

In the past, I've successfully plugged an external monitor into the laptops VGA port and transferred display to the other screen. This was about a year ago. Now, I'm attempting to do it again with a different monitor, but it doesn't work. I plug the monitor into my laptop (using my VGA cable), and then I press the fn + F4 key, which is the shortcut to switch the display on this laptop, but nothing happens. The external monitor's indicator light simply blinks, meaning it detects no output I suppose.

Both the VGA cable and the monitor are fine. I know because they were both connected to another computer as early as a month ago. Also, the monitor claims to be receiving the signal from my laptop when it's connected, it just doesn't detect any output on the screen. How should I proceed with troubleshooting this?

Can I create a Windows user account without the ability for an interactive user login?

I ran into an issue when a software that was recommended to me requires to provide it with my admin user account and password not in a UAC prompt (which I do not want to do.)

So I was curious, can I create a Windows user account (belonging to the built-in Administrators group) that interactive users cannot log in to?

Answer

Yes, and this is sometimes done with "service accounts" in a business environment, to avoid staff using them for normal admin work. You can set the local policy for that user to "Deny Logon Locally". However, you must be running Win7 Pro or better.

Use GPEDIT.MSC; go to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment:

Add the user to the policy, as shown below for "guest":
