    Windows 7 Unable to delete system folders from a drive no longer being used as a system drive

    I attached a pic of the disk management graphic. The H:/ drive is the one in question. It formerly housed a Windows 7 install, but I put in another hard drive and made it the new C:/ and when I did, it essentially backed up my Windows 7 install... which I'm now trying to get rid of completely.

    Windows 7 Unable to delete system folders from a drive no longer being used as a system drive

    I followed those instructions and took ownership (my user account Steve on computer StudyPC, and it now shows the owner as StudyPC/Steve. Now when I go to delete the files, it says I must gain access from StudyPC/Steve, even though that should be me.

    Windows 7 My computer occasionally bogs itself down for no reason (best I can tell)

    I've got 4 hard disks (1 system, 3 storage) that are varying degrees of full from 25%-85%. Occasionally, my system will just bog down and I can hear what sounds like a hard drive winding up or something and my system locks up for maybe 5 seconds and then I can use it again. This seems to happen...

    Windows 7 Unable to delete system folders from a drive no longer being used as a system drive

    Hey folks... I recently reorganized my computer and this included a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new disk. I backed up all my data on the old disk so that I could make sure I wasn't losing any important documents or whatever. I'm now sure I've got everything off the disk that I needed and...

    I don't see an option for more, but when I get to the point where I select what drive I want to install on, I see all my hard drives and partitions with the correct amount of free space.

    Windows 7 Help: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change...

    Yeah, I can't get to the disk defragmenter. When I say I can boot into Windows with the disk in, I mean I can boot into the Setup, I pick my language, and then attempt to fix it. But I can't actually get Windows 7.

    One other thing of note... the partition size that it finds the Windows 7 install on says 0MB (it is a 500GB drive in a single partition).

    Windows 7 Help: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change...

    I have a few external devices that plug into USB ports. One is for my Logitech Dinovo Edge mouse/keyboard. Incidentally, it works when I have to press F12 or F8 or del to enter bios/settings/whatever, but it doesn't work when I boot into the Windows 7 setup. So I just use a different wired...

    Windows 7 Help: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change...

    A couple days ago I began getting this message when I try to boot into Windows. It goes on to tell me a required device is inaccessible. So I follow the on screen recommendations of putting in my Win7 DVD and trying to automatically fix the issue. It didn't work. I tried it several times (and...

    Windows 7 Networking and homegroup issues

    Hey guys. I've got 2 computers in 2 different rooms that are on the same network (wired). I'm having lots of problems with networking. I didn't really want to use a homegroup, so I just shared the drives with each other. I can see the drives (Bedroom C, Bedroom D, Living Room C, Living Room D)...

    Windows 7 New to Windows 7, What's out there?
