Thread: Windows Vista Kernel still on computer after upgrade??

-

ok upgraded win7 (home premium 64bit) win vista , went well. when installing ubuntu noticed win vista taking part of c drive (like 10 gigs!) (i saw in part of instalation set ubuntu partition.) anyway wondering if knew way rid of vista kernel , free space taking up.

in advance.

i doubt windows kernel thats been backed up,
more because upgraded win7 vista,

best guess there hidden restore partition on hard drive, resetting pc new, shop-fresh vista state.

'if' there hidden 'restore' partition many new,
(particularly laptops these days) may you're seeing.
may seeing, in grub bootloader, recovery partition. may have win vista , win7 entry,
if blow recovery partition away, *may need to* update
grub or grub may confused on next boot.

laptop came vista. no vista cd, when booted new laptop up, asked me use 3 blank cds restore pc shop new state.i did too.
there 30 gig hidden part of hard drive sort of 'recovery' operation. blew away made cds.
anyway had vista cd anyway, used , legal vista key when fancied play wth vista. did'nt last long though.

if same you, would'nt recomend blpwing away hidden partition unless you're *really* sure can reinstall original windows , junk programs came it., if need to.

had no intention of ruining shiny new laptop vista, or crapware did blow right away. nice blank new hard drive.

win7 disc arrived worked fine, can have blank new hard drive, install linux win7 or vista easily,.

Arduino Uno + KTY81/210 temperature sensor

hi, sorry, new , unsure lot of things, need clarification. haven't found information explains how , why things work, "do this, that" i following guide ( arduino-thermistor-temperature-sensor-tutorial ) connect thermistor arduino uno. here temperature sensor information: temp. sensor 2000r +-1% to92 part.no.:   kty81-210 name:   temp. sensor 2000r +-1% to92 description:   2.5mm, 1980...2020ohm, -55...+150°c and here sensor's data-sheet: sensor data-sheet i have connected same way in guide. works , values being serial printed. what don't understand: 1. thermistor's , resistor's ohm value should equal, correct? in case 2000 ohm? 2. thermistor has ptc, i'm guessing have invert math or use ntc thermistor instead correct values? (currently resistance goes temperature goes down) 3. understand code uses steinhart-hart math logic convert resistor value temperature value, need a, b , c coefficients of thermis...
