Hey Any one please help me !! An unknown extra drive is shown in My Computer and when i tried to open it ... it says Access Denied .... I don't know from where it come from and when i checked it in Disk Management its not their. Please help me to remove that drive.
Below is the screen short of that Drive & Disk Management.
When I restarted my Windows system it's gone.
Remember: You should do a restart, not a shut down.
I think it's related to Windows updates.
I wonder if this could be that 100MB Windows Reserved EFI system partition that you somehow started displaying instead of it being hidden by default.

I tried deleting my last microsoft account because it had an email I no longer had access to. I now have a new 'main' account on my windows 10 PC. But somehow the old account still exists and takes up a lot of space from my disk. I can't see the files of the old account in my explorer, so I can't delete them but they do take up disk space. As you can see in the pictures below, it says that nearly all 250 GB of my disk are used according to the explorer. But if I check how much actual disk space should be used with WinDirStat it only says I have files that are 91.4GB on my hard drive. Any tips would be welcome.
You say that you are using WinDirStat. You can use WinDirStat to remove the directories which take too much space. In case this does not work, you can launch WinDirStat as administrator: as an administrator you have access to all files on your computer (right-click and mention "Als Administrator uitvoeren").

As the result of some missteps in setting up a new Windows PC, I now have just a local account. I have no Administrator account and I can not do any management actions. So now I want to do a reset to get back to the original OS state. I have a Recovery Drive with system files that I made when I first unboxed the new computer. I can boot from that but I can't continue the Reset without the missing Administrator password. Is there some way to activate the Reset from the Recovery Drive?
If it's a new pc, why not wipe the whole hard drive and reinstall windows?
If it was a pre-built PC most of the times they come with its own 'recovery' partition which you can boot from and reinstall/etc.
Have you tried that?

Is it possible?
I've tried adding the external drive (i.e., drive to be backed up) in Windows backup options, but I just get an error (0x80070032).
If it matters, I'm using an HDD for backup, and an SSD that needs to be backed up.
I came across "AOMEI Backupper". It does the job, and actually did save me from losing 6 months of work (from home). However, I ended up just buying a bigger SSD and backing up to an external SSD (so I have a portable copy if needed).
AOMEI works, but is a little "rough around the edges", if you know what I mean..

Is it 100% safe to move the pagefile.sys file from c: to another drive on Windows Server 2008? We are getting low on C: space and need to move it off, but not if there is any risk. This is a production web server and (other than a quick reboot) downtime is not acceptable, as you can imagine :)
I dont think this is a good place for such questions, its a programming related site,
I can give you a hint that this should be OK, It will even speed up you paging file, some reference below (I was actually reading it recently :) ):
http://lifehacker.com/5426041/understanding-the-windows-pagefile-and-why-you-shouldnt-disable-it
following part:
What you should actually do is move your pagefile to a completely
different physical drive to split up the workload.
but confirm it with some windows admin experts
