Carbide Reformat

Submitted by jasonmccullar on May 28, 2015 - 5:12pm

Hi,
I have an 8GB Carbide that I recently purchased.

LOVE the product by the way.

I want to know if I can get the software install that came on it, so I can return it to factory new condition, rather than just using the portable apps software. It has a custom menu and other items that I want to keep on my portable apps drive.

Thanks for your time.

PS. If this is not in the proper forum, my apologies, but I did not see one that fit better.

Strange Ad

I was a little surprised to log in today and see an add "Sweet Chinese Women Are Ready to Date U". If this had been an e-mail it would have ended up in the spam bucket. It seemed somehow inappropriate for this site.

Usage of PortableApps

Submitted by rkorts on May 16, 2015 - 5:50pm

I'm sorry to be such a dummy, but I don't see how it works.
Here is my objective:

We want to create a web app that can run on the web server software XAMPP on a Windows PC.

We want to distribute the app via USB Drive for use on computers with no (or very slow) internet capability.

I have created a test version on a USB drive with Chrome & XAMPP. When distributed to the end user, how do they access it? Assuming the USB drive is E: on the PC, does the users just type E:(path to app)?

Portable apps on ARM processors

Submitted by merriam on May 6, 2015 - 9:29pm

I am looking for a strategy to run portable apps on all my workstations which run Linux. That includes ARM processors, such as the Raspberry Pi Version 2, an ARM V7 processor. That appears to mean running QEMU to emulate an Intel processor and then Wine on top of that to emulate Windows. Does anybody have any experience with that? I would be pleased to buy a Carbide drive if it came configured to run on both Intel and ARM processors and both Windows and Linux operations systems.

Thanks.
Bill

Over 2 millions temp files created by Firefox within 2 weeks?

Submitted by Dirki on May 6, 2015 - 2:16pm

Does a portable Firefox (usually) create over 2, 3 millions or even more of temp files in 14 days on C:? They are not created in its program folder?

About 2 weeks ago I deleted over 2 millions temp files on C: and today I did again, about 2, 3 millions or even more.

Is there a program that automatically could delete these files?

These files were located somewhere here (there was an endless path, do not no why): C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten\Anwendungsdaten...
