Here's the story.
I had Windows XP on my original 500GB disk in my computer. We will call this DISK XP.
I bought a new 1TB drive and bought Windows 7 64bit to put on it. Call this one DISK W7.
I just recently moved all my old files from DISK XP to DISK W7 so I decided I wanted to format DISK...

Hello all, this is my first post.
I need some help with my computer I built myself. I want to format and/or reinstall windows 7 fresh. I have a couple problems though. I haven't made any system image disks nor do i have recovery disks.
What are my options, or is it even possible?
Hi Guys,
There were a batch of updates done on my windows 7 machine this morning, I by mistake thought the updates had jammed (my machine often jams when I shut it down) so I held down power and rebooted.
I am now having serious issues when I seem to run MS Office & Adobe programs.
When...

Hi there guys.
Can someone please try and get me out of this pickle.
My windows 7 (32 bit) laptop won't start normally (only in safe mode). Repair can't fix it and I have no other recovery options. I've tried using the install disk but it only can repair/upgrade in normal boot up.

Hi all
I'm very excited about Windows 7, it's the best MS OS ever in my opinion.
However, I've been experiencing some problems with Windows Startup Repair. Where we live we suffer lots of power outages. I have a UPS, but I sent it in for repairs after it got some lightning damage. So now...
