With all the different errors your getting, I would ONE TIME relaod the OS and see if that makes a difference. If you continue to get errors, reload a SECOND time, from scratch, Vista and see if you get problems. IF you get errors from both OS's, I'd say it's a hardware problem. OR simply send...

Yes, win7 defrag works, if slowly. I also like and use auslogics defrag program. It's FREE! You might also want to run Chkdsk on each drive. If Chkdsk finds any problems it will let you know youj need to re-run it with the /f option. If Chkdsk finds problems on your boot partition, you will need...

Something seems really wrong! Although 1 GB is a little large, it shouldn't take as long as you see. I would do 2 things (which will help improve overall performance) 1) open a command prompt with Administrator privileges. Then run chkdsk c: Press the enter/return key and let chkdsk do it's...

Try VirtualCloneDrive from Elaborate Bytes. It works well, at least on my Windows 7 X64 ultimate pc.
