My 8800 gt GPU died on me..so I ordered a 460 SC from EVGA. I install it, and first boot tells me "NTLDR is missing". Never has done this until I installed the new GPU. So on the laptop I research this and try all the fixes suggested including bootrec.exe /fixmbr...no good. /fixboot...no...

I'm in a bit of a bind. Somehow my system's MBR was written on a drive where Windows7 was not installed. The drive with the MBR failed earlier today. I thought it would be a simple fix of booting into the recovery disk, and executing bootrec /fixboot, however this didn't work for me. My...

Yesterday, my Windows 7 has suddenly crushed after a restart. I didn't understand what happened. I haven't installed or uninstalled a program or plugged a device. The black screen about recovery comes. Link Removed. When I tried to restore windows it shows 0 mb partition and the C: drive is...

My hard drive was showing up as having a lot of Seek errors so I decided to do the SMART thing (sorry!) and replace it before it failed completely. I took a full backup and created a system image that I then restored to a new disk using a rescue DVD. On restart the system wouldn't boot...

Hi all, I've had Windows 7 since the release date, but for some reason it has stopped working. I can start up my PC, but at the login screen it crashes (sometime bluescreen, sometimes not). I tried safe mode, debug mode, CD-boot, system repair, but it just crashes when I get past the part where...

I've got a fair amount of computer savvy. But when I migrated to 7 last month I guess all that was useless. Anyway, I'm running a newer HP with enough power to handle anything, so far. I installed 7 and then put my apps on and about a week later upon rebooting I get the message that I can't...

Basically while I was running Windows 7 I wanted to clone my 149GB Hard Drive to a 500GB partition on my 1TB HardDrive, with Ubuntu taking up the other 500GB. I coulnd'nt clone using Windows tools because I always had an error of some sort. I then tried cloning using various Ubuntu tools on the...

I had my system running with dual boot Vista Ultimate (32bit) and XP professional (32 bit). These OS were both installed on 2 separate partition of a single physical Hard disk. Now, I just did a full install of 64Bit Windows 7 Ultimate, on the partition where windows XP was installed. I had...
