I recently installed Win7 Ultimate on the second drive of my main computer, but running XP Pro as the main OS. The Win7 partition was "G" in XP and when re-formatted using Acronis Disk Director. However, when booted into Win7 it is running in C Drive and the other partitions go up the...

I have been using Win7 RC1 on a spare computer for a couple of months - quite happy with it. Bought Win7 Ultimate last week and installed it on a second drive in my main computer as a dual-boot with XP Pro. On boot up I get the choice of "Old operating system" or "Windows 7", which is...

I used to have Ubuntu dual-booted with my Windows 7 and I just recently removed it because I wanted this computer to run just Windows 7 only. My only problem is that I can't run Windows 7 when I remove Ubuntu because the GRUB Loader is in the way. I know there's a fix of some sort about typing...

Hi, I have a ThinkPad T400 and I'm dual-booting Vista and 7 (but I only really use 7). In 7, when you press Windows+P, you get 4 display options: Computer Only, Duplicate, Extend, and Projector Only. Since I just have one laptop screen, I obviously want Computer Only. But every time I close...

Okay, so here's what I've done: Partitioned my drive and installed Windows 7 RC1, so I can dual-boot with XP. Now, when I first let it go into Win7 by default, it booted fine - I had the pretty screen with the fish and everything. Then I decided to see how my XP boot would go. I realized I had...
