hdd issues

I have Vista Ultimate 64bit currently installed on C:: drive. I disconnected the Vista Drive and installed a new 7000+ RPM SATA drive, which I installed the Windows 7 Professional on. So, naturally when I connect the cables to each drive I have issues with disk ID pointers - C: F: E: kinda...

Hi, I told W7 to install the OS in the C: HDD and it did, except it also decided to install the boot files in another HD for whatever reason. I bought a brand new HD because my old one (with XP Pro) was giving me problems. Now, I can run the new system without the old HD. I need to transfer the...

When I play high-demanding games like "Dragon Age: Origins" I'm often getting the BSOD (0x00000124). It happens way too often and it prevents me from playing longer than 1-10 minutes which is obviously far from normal. Previously I had Windows Vista x64 and I didn't experience anything like...

Hi - I am having a problem upgrading from Windows XP Pro SP3 to Windows 7 Professional. I purchased Win 7, and received the box and installation discs from the manufacturer. I used the Windows Easy Transfer tool to make a .MIG file that backs up all of my information, and then attempted to do a...

I've been using the Win 7 RC for quite a while now, and really have enjoyed it. Ordered a couple copies of the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for my wife and I. Got her PC all updated no hitch. Unfortunately, I've been fighting the process on my system all night long. It's just been one thing...

I have been using both XP on one hard drive and Windows 7 on another. So it seems that some of my folders in XP are not accessible. Of course I have a USB backup and store files there from both OS's. I am wondering why some folder/files that end up in XP are not accessible. Is it a problem of...

To start, I'd love to post more detailed system specs, but I cant even get into the OS. I had a Dell Workstation 380 with 7, sporting an extra (NOT the one with the OS) 750GB HD that failed. I deemed the case unworthy and built what is essentially a new rig. Mobo: Gigabyte EP43 UD3L with the...

Hello I did try searching for help with this, but I couldnt find it. The problem that I am having is: I have installed Windows 7 onto a harddrive and then added the other drives from an older XP installation, I used "Takeownership" on all the drives just after they were added and all was well...

Hi all, thanks in advance for reading! I've been experiencing these issues since I began my foray into Windows 7 over a week ago. Before I describe the issues, here's my system's stats: Asus P5N-D 2x2gb Corsair xms2 DDR2 800 @ stock C2D E8400 @ stock nvidia geforce 8800 gts 1 x WD Raptor 37gb...

Hiya guys, Now, many of you may call me crazy but let me assure you, I know my way around computers pretty darn well, both hardware and software but this is really quite an odd issue. Since the RC release I've been testing, as we all have. Honestly, to me, Win 7 so far looks like XP with a...

I have an Asus T3 Series M2NC51PV. It was working with Vista and Ubuntu Linux, I was trying to modify the partitions and damaged the Windows installation, so I re-formated the disk (100% Windows) and tried to reinstall Windows Vista (32 Bits) and everything seems to be OK until I do the...

I have both a Sata (Seagate 500mB) and ATA Samsung installed in my computer. Vista installed on the Sata without problem and sees my ATA which I use mostly for backups. When I ran the install for Win 7 I installed on the ATA, install did not see the Sata. Now up and running I still cannot see...

Hello, everyone. I've been having an issue with the Vista partition of my HDD. I'm not exactly sure if this is a Vista issue, HDD issue, or both. Anyway, Vista will occasionally fail to launch past the initial boot screen (the loading bar). However, after waiting some time, my computer (a Sony...
