Hi there, I did a search on google and through these forums search function but all I can seem to find are topics about vista and backing up problems, and a few things about install problems. I did find a link to a microsoft hotfix for my problem, but it was only for specifically 4GB+ of Ram...

Okay...I've seen several tutorials/info on dual booting, but usually it's only one hard drive. What I want to do is install 2 OS on 2 different HDDs. My first idea was to install Debian and Win7 on the same 500GB HDD (which is now my secondary hard drive). But since then, I had taken it to the...

Folks, OK, I've had enough of things I can't see. How for example, can I find and view all files named "index.dat". If you enter this into the search bar, you won't find any, but I assure you, there are dozens on the typical system. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There're many...

Ok so I just notice a lot of my backed up files have all of a sudden gone missing from my NTFS non-system partition folder D:\Downloads\ . The folder itself was not entirely emptied however. If I go to the folder either in Windows 7 or Ubuntu from the same PC, the folder appears to be missing...

Hello, I'm new here and glad to be here. I have a Dell Studio XPX8000 with a WD 640GB Hard Drive. About a month ago I started noticing, in Event Viewer, the following message: "The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume OS." It is...
