The option to repair computer wasn't showing up when hiting F8 before Windows starts, so the internet told me to create a recovery USB drive. I did.
I set the boot priority in the UEFI bios, but it still won't boot from the USB and I always go straight to Windows.

What are the most reliable ways to find out if your hard drive needs replaced?
I've had mine since 2011, and recently my computer has been really slow and shitty at everything, but I'm not getting any of the other tell-tale signs of a failing hard drive like errors/corrupted data/crashes/weird sounds.
If I spend good money on a replacement only for my system to still run like ass I'm gonna be pissed.

Double check that you are set to start from USB and also verify that the USB is bootable, i.e. you didn't just copy paste files onto the drive and expect it to work.

Replace it when it dies. Stop blaming your hard drive for your slowness. If you want to feel fast again backup your files and reinstall your OS as a clean slate.
>>54138518
Check if your mobo has the right ports, your PSU can supply it with power, etc.
can i have a link to a good site on how to build a pc? I need to get a new computer for my karaoke bar and I know i can save a ton of money if I just do i myself.
In that vein if anybody can help me slap together what will essentially be a karaoke box I would be grateful. Only requirements are decent hard drive space, two monitor outputs, and windows. Beyond that I dont think it even needs to be very powerful, all it needs is to run the karaoke program and a web browser.

Well the tutorial I was reading told me to format the drive as NTFS and then drop the files in it
>>54138822
I meant to say that while it's for a gaming PC, you can just choose a lower end, customize it how you like, and optionally leave off the GPU depending on what kind of displays you have.

Original poster here but I simply have no idea what else it could be.
I didn't want to say anything since he's just trying to help but my computer itself is squeaky-clean both software and hardware, and nothing has chanced in years. It's just slowing down for no noticeable reason.
My hard drive is 5 years old now so I've been suspecting it. His suggestion of replacing it when it dies is not a possibility either, I can't spend that downtime waiting for a new hard drive to ship when I have work that needs done every day. I need to replace it before it dies, so naturally if it's close to dying I want to replace it now.
If it's not my hard drive I wish there was a decent way to troubleshoot what could be causing the slowness, because reinstalling my OS is also an annoying timesink that I can't afford right now.

My man, thank you very much. Bit of a process (looks like RockBox never finished developing their installer utility for this model of iPod) but it's going well.
>>54139451
For gaming single channel vs dual channel barely makes a difference.
Not sure about other stuff, but pretty sure it's not that big of deal either.
>>54139451
I would say get a dual channel over mixing and matching,your shit could not be nice with each other and you'll only have one stick working anyhow.
Ram is dirt cheap now, save it as one of the last parts,after your cpu and mobo
Save your money and buy things at the price they are then,you could buy something and it go down $100 when the new shit comes out.
Is there a difference between deleting windows user accounts from the Local Groups and Users snapin, and deleting user accounts from control panel + deleting user folders from file explorer
I ask because someone told me I need to do the snapin thing but I have windows home edition which doesn't have that option, so I'm not sure what to do now.
>>54139037
Okay I'm following a different tutorial now that tells me to use PowerISO to create a bootable USB with the system recovery iso I have. But the PowerISO installer comes with some thing called ByteFence and some Yahoo shit for my rowser. I am not installing that shit unless it's completely necessary, so is there a better alternative for making bootable usbs or a way to get poweriso without the additional junk?
anyone have a good Excel tutorial they would recommend?

I don't exactly understand this
I'm just looking to delete user accounts off of this one laptop, and he said simply doing this from control panel does not delete everything.
Which is why I'm asking if I delete the user folders from windows file explorer as well, have i accomplished the same thing as his solution (deleting via local users snapin)?
>>54139684
I'm about to just kill myself at this point. The USB drive should be bootable but after setting boot priority or even manually selecting the USB drive to boot from it still takes me straight to Windows as if the USB was empty
Either I'm retarded or this shit just doesn't fucking work. maybe both
>>54139904
When you make a user,it is given the name you tell it as a literal spot on your hard drive.
It creats a user on the network,so you can share files,printers,usb devices.I would assume if you get read of it from the control panel.it would also get rid of the nework user as well
>>54139918
Did you write the ISO to the USB or did you just drag and drop it?
I had something similar happen and the issue was the USB stick itself.
>>54139993
I used TotalMounter to mount a virtual CD, burn the recovery iso to it and extract it, and then powerISO to write that into the USB drive and supposedly make it bootable
>>54140040
Why not just download the ISO and write it straight to the USB? Haven't been following the thread, apologies if I've missed something.

One is virtual user,that is part of the workgroup
Since you dont know what this is,you dont need to worry bout it.

delted account=yes
>>54139918
1) Download OS you want to use
2) Download Rufus from the OFFICIAL RUFUS SITE
3) Open rufus
4) Change "create bootable disk using" to ISO, then select the OS ISO file
5) Profit

Why do my Windows key shortcuts not work? The Windows key itself works fine, but using Winkey + R to bring up the Run box doesn't.
>>54140510
But as far as I know uMatrix UI is a mess, been trying to use it and it works very well, but you have to click tons and tons of times in the right column. I am very experienced with NoScript usage, but this thing was too complicated on the long run, I visit too much shit sites for that.
I have uBlock and it's great, but as long as the UI is as bad the UI from uBlock, I won't use uMatrix.
Is there a better filesystem than NTFS for drives that I want to use with Windows and Linux?
>>54140525
Do other winkey combos work? Will Winkey + L lock your screen?

Nope. NTFS is the only one with R/W support on both OSs without installing drivers. FAT32 is an option, but you'll run into drive and file size limitations.

Hey guys, I'm planning on building a desktop for gaming and purchasing a new laptop. I'm considering purchasing a MacBook Pro, the cheapest 13-inch retina display model. I have never built a desktop before but I imagine that it will be pretty pricey. My question is if it is stupid to have a desktop and laptop that run on different operating systems? If so, what would be a good laptop to compliment a gaming desktop? I'm really only interested in portability and speed, no need for much memory. I would probably prefer a laptop with a solid state drive. I'd appreciate any advice.
Turns out I have a TP Link wireless network card lying around. 300Mbps. Wireless N. PCI Adapter. Yes, no e at the end. Brother got it 3 or so years ago for $30. Now my motherboard has a PCI slot but should I go ahead and use it (I don't have all the parts for my rig yet) or buy a similar card that goes into PCIe? Which is $10 less for some reason.
>>54140697
Most of this is pretty crap.
4 doesn't do much except save you a little disk space.
5 doesn't have to do with anything with performance although many of these are better than the defaults. The system tools they recommend won't really do anything. They'll "fix" a lot of things but they won't really affect the performance of your system.
6 is somewhat worthwhile as it will reduce the number of background services which can save some memory and startup time, but just following a guide of services to disable is a bad idea. You'll need to a look at what each does and what you use the system for and decide. For instance they recommend turning of BIT but a lot of things make use of this on windows (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_Intelligent_Transfer_Service). For example, my windows box is for gaming only so I disabled the print spooler, but if you print on windows, you have to leave this on.
7 is mostly for crappy systems with weak CPU and video cards. This won't make a real difference on a gaming PC.
>>54140583
No.
And the other odd thing: When I lock my laptop, it doesn't ask me for a password when every single box related to "ask for password upon startup" is checked.
>>54140854
That's really weird. I've got no idea
>>54140851
>7 is mostly for crappy systems with weak CPU and video cards.
Although this may be true, 8.1 is still faster on these systems if it is able to run on them.

Right now? Probably. Unless you're thing is Watson, whereas then you probably already work there/know pretty much everybody worth knowing in the field and wouldn't be asking this question.
Ginni can only pay attention to one thing at a time, and right now that thing is Watson. It doesn't matter that it doesn't really work right now, and isn't living up to what it's advertised as being able to do, everything is Watson. All other software groups must do everything they can to integrate with Watson. Doesn't matter if your software would be better off getting requested features, Watson comes first. Doesn't matter if customers are leaving, Watson comes first. When your software doesn't sell because it isn't living up to customer expectations because you were too busy integrating with Watson shit? Your software group gets the ax - but only the best and brightest because they were being paid too much because they got raises for being better than the rest.

First off, use defraggler use its hdd health smart scan that will tell you exactly what's up with your drive. If its dieing it's health will be red and bad. If it's green it's fine and you just need to reinstall windows.

Before I begin banging my head on the wall, would it be possible to have a MBR SSD while having two GPT hard drives? Like can I still access the GPT drives and store my files after booting from the SSD? One of them is bootable and I insist on having it bootable as backup.
I don't see why not but let me ask ye all before I waste my time.

Is Windows 7 SP1 64-bit secure without updates?
I ask because fuck me does Windows take forever for updates. It's been "checking for updates" for an hour now. I have W7 installed on my media server and I'm sharing 2 drives and a printer. This PC will never be used for browsing or anything other than a sharing machine.

>>54141704
yea yea yea I know but it has much easier sharing capabilities, remote desktop that works great out of the box so I can run it headless, and it's what I'm using.
Question still stands.
>>54141695
Yes, specially if you have common sense.
Get Adwcleaner too.
>>54141664
Eh, I had problems installing my (cracked) OS onto a GPT because of UEFI and had to use removewat on my current bootable HD but there seems to be some minor problems with it.

If you're better than the other people in your group for a few years, because of how the bonus/raise system works, you get paid more. Which makes sense.
However, at higher levels of the company, the bureaucracy sees you as a member of a pay band with a job title. If you're in a pay band, shouldn't the other members of your pay band, with a similar job title be able to take over your responsibilities?
That's how it works, because HR isn't going to be anywhere near you (most is outsourced to South America), and the people who are going to fire you have never met you.
>>54141752
thanks for the tip. While useful, I don't think adwcleaner would be needed on this installation because like I said, the most it will be doing is sharing a printer and some files. No internet browsing.
Firefox with adblock and HTTPSeverywhere is enough and more so out of paranoia than anything.
Lastly, can Windows 7 stay online for a long time? I have page-filing turned off. Automatic updates set to "check but don't install", and power mode is made to never sleep the PC. I intend to remote in and use MBAM and CCleaner once every few days or so but that's about it.
>>54141857
Get uBlock Origin instead adblock.
And yes, it can stay on for a long time, i usually let my PC on 5 days a week and let it rest in weekend nights.

>Looking at a ZenBook Pro UX501VW (DS or US71T) for college
>was going to buy from amazon; I hear they're more likely to replace the whole product on RMA with less bullshit
>have already had shit customer service and repair history with newegg
>Amazon also has cheaper accidental damage warranties than newegg
As of last week it has stopped showing up as sold by amazon on the product page– it keeps showing different sellers every day for higher prices, and w/ worse warranty prices.
However I want to buy it /from/ Amazon, not a third party seller (because if I do I would have to go through their customer service if I had any issues)
Seeing as it's a $1600+ purchase I want to get it from somewhere that the warranty service is good.
TL;DR
Is there any way to get one that's sold by Amazon as opposed to a third party seller, or should I go ahead and risk worse RMA / longer repair times and buy from Newegg?
Also, unrelated question, does anyone know how durable and or scratch resistant the touch screen on the Zenbook is and for that matter how dark it is? Is it tempered glass or like a cheaper composite?
Wondering if I should get a matte screen protector to prevent glare and keep it scratch free as it'll be traveling w/ me every day.

Ok, real noob here, some questions. This is regarding C++ (in VS).
Whats the difference between .h and .cpp files? I declare my things in the .h, and then write the actual thing in the .cpp, is that it?
Which one of them do i include, and where? Say i want to write a class and put it in another file than main.cpp.
Mind, this is a small project. I haven't really coded in c++ since programming 101 in high school. I'm mostly a quick python hack kind of guy.
>>54142267
Thanks
>>54142277
.h is the header file, it is included in the .cpp files by the preprocessor before the compilation.
.h are used to define things like functions, constants, global variables, class definitions and such.
You should include .h files when you need to access those in a .cpp file.
.cpp is the actual compiled source code.
It is compiled into object files(bits and pieces of the final program)
Which are the linked into a single executable (.exe) or a library (.dll)
I have Mint installed right now on my HP laptop. Is there a reason that I can burn a CD, however, when I try to boot from that CD, nothing happens? I made sure that the CD drive was the first in the boot order, and I even turned on legacy mode and disabled secure boot, yet nothing happens. When I try to go to the boot menu with a CD in the drive, it just doesn't load, but when I take the CD out it loads but there isn't a CD drive showing under the boot options.
So I just installed Ubuntu for the first time today. I'm admittedly not that computer savvy but the whole point of this is so that I can learn to be.

>>54142348
Also forgot to mention that when I was in the command prompt I was in root mode.
>>54142319
You don't define functions in header files, you declare them. You don't define global variables in them either, else it's going to be a fucking mess.
>>54142319
Thanks!
Ok... so if i have class.h and class.cpp. I include the class.h in my main.cpp, the compiler builds both cpp files, and links them into the final thing?
Meaning that i only have to include the .h to get access to what i've written in the .cpp?

Guys, I really need your help. It's about installing Android ROMs.

Am I going to have to rm -rf / the damn thing? Would that even work? Please help, I'm stressed as fuck trying to get this POS to work. It's still hanging at Starting apps...

I am trying to dual boot windows and debian, windows is already installed. I'm using a single hdd, so i created a blank partition for debian. However after installing debian through boot media onto this partition, and going through the step in the debian install that installs grub in the mbr, whenever I boot my computer it still goes to windows, no matter how I rearrange my boot order (windows boot manager still shows up on bios, but not grub/debian) what do i do?

You can't use UEFI then.

You dont have it set in bios
You dont have a boot partion/set boot flag

When I say not working though, I mean it doesn't even give me the option of "Press any key to start from CD" or whatever. Is there a way to disable UEFI?
>>54142465
> It's still hanging at Starting apps...
So it got past the bootloop then? or you referring to something else?
My S3 had an issue where it would keep rebooting randomly or simply "bootloop" because the power button was borked. This would cause the phone to constantly power down randomly.
Maybe the S5 has a similar issue since your started from nowhere one day? DESU I have not gone too crazy with XDA since the SG2 and SG3 days. My sony Z2 just runs stock android.

It only gets past the bootloop when I re-flash the ROM after a wipe. Otherwise, it gets stuck on the loop.
I'm pretty sure the issue was CM's fault, it wasn't very stable.

\- font.cpp

where main.cpp calls a function in loop.cpp, which uses classes in tile and font. In addition to this, all files reference datatypes from a framework.
What do i include where? Framework.h in every .h? Do i include tile.h in main or in font? Or both?

Use USB stick for Windows, or spare HDD for installer.
