Sorry if there's another old post already exactly like this one; I took a look around and didn't see any problem *quite* like mine. I'm installing Windows 7 64-bit on a completely clean install; I ran into some issues upgrading, and because of the major issues, I decided to take the scenic...

Well, I have stepped in it this time and boy could I use some help. Setup an XP/7 dual boot on two partitions on same drive. All good. Removed XP boot entry with easybcd. All good. Set 7 partition to Active. All good. Booting to 7 worked fine with the old XP partition still on the disk...

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...

Is it enough, or should I go through the more traditional fdisk & format route? I'm getting nowhere with Ultimate 64. I reckon my bios is from sometime early 2008. Got it to install once, then after downloading 8 or so Windows updates, machine refused to restart. Everything in the PC is maybe a...

Hi, I am trying to install Windows 7 RTM from MSDN subscription on my new PC, it is Intel Q6600 2 GB RAM 200 GB SATA HD (2x100GB partitions) Windows XP has been running like a champ on the partition 0 for a long time, but when I try and install Windows 7 on patrition 1 (dualboot from same...

I'm a bit concerned about my installation options at this point. I have one 500GB HD, that I had partitioned to two drives with GParted. I was then able to install the Win 7 RC and dual boot both versions just fine. Now, I received my Windows 7 Upgrade copy and wondering if I can still...

Well Well, Let me explain my experience of Disk Management in Windows 7! To start off I ordered a brand new hard drive, installed it into my pc. I booted up win7 "at the time with the current hard drive I was using for win7" , at first windows 7 recognized the new drive but asking for "Win7" to...

I was using GParted to grow a partition and about 5% into the grow process I canceled it, because it was taking an amazingly long time to do 30+ estimated hours for a 140gb grow...seemed ridiculous to me. Anyways after I restarted chkdsk ran and went through the HD and finished and then windows...

Ok.. So here's the mess I made that I need help with. 1. I have 2HD's with one hosting Windows 7 x86 and the other hosting a Windows 7 x64 2. I finally got x64 up and usable for everything I needed so wanted to get rid of the x586 partition 3. I deleted the x586 partition using GParted 4...

Last night I was trying to dual boot windows 7 on a computer with ubuntu already installed. My computer has been running fine for weeks with ubuntu, so I booted up with gparted and resized my partitions. I booted from the Win7 disk and immediately got this error "video mode cannot be displayed"...

Hello, I recently used GParted to shrink my XP and Win7 partitions so that I could create a third partition. Since I had some extra space inbetween the shrunk partitions, I moved the Win7 partition as close as I could to the XP partition. I basically moved my partition over a little bit...

I had Xp on one hard drive. Used Gparted to make a partition. Left the XP partition active and installed 7 on the second partition. I could then only get XP to load. If I booted with the 7 install cd, then it would load. So I tried the repair utility on its cd and that did nothing. I eventually...

After using GPart to set up two partitions and installing Windows 7 RC1 everything works well in 7. However, when I attempt boot to XP I get the following error, "(windows root)\system32\hall.dll is missing or corrupt." and the system halts. My research indicates this may be a problem with the...

Recently shrunk my Vista partition on my laptop to created a new partition for a Win 7 install. All is working great, able to choose either partition on start up with no problems. Now here's where my problems lie: I want to get rid of my original Vista partition (C:) and add the free space...

I am currently running XP as my main OS on one partition but I also have Windows 7 Beta on a separate partition on the same hard drive. Right now I cannot currently access Windows 7 when booting up, I have no clue why that is as I used to be able to do that. What I want to do is delete the...

I've ahd Windows XP installed for a long time but I wanted to give a try to Windows 7 so I did. I really like it so I decided to completely remove my XP beacause I wasn't using it anymore. I used Gparted to delete my XP partition and move/enlarge my Windows 7 one. Everything went fine this...

Hello, This is my first time posting, so please be patient with me. The issue: I partitioned my drive and installed Windows 7. I've been growing increasingly confident of W7 and decided to start fazing out Windows XP. Using GParted Live I successfully shrunk the XP partition and increased the...

Yesterday I was able to install windows 7 with moderate success. Today I went to adjust the size of the partition with gpart in order to have more space. After doing this, windows 7 refused to start up and kept giving an error suggesting recovery. After attempting, this the status bar repeatably...
