I converted from Windows 7 Home to windows10. When I go to Disk Defragmenter it tells me I can't optimize because my drives are solid state. My Drives are Hitachi SATA. How can I make Windows 10 redetect my Hard Drives?

How can I delete a "local disk" on my hard disk drive that I never use or need? I plan on replacing my SATA drive with an SSD and want it a single disk prior to the transfer.

I've recently upgraded my computer with a new motherboard, cpu and ram and chose to install windows 8 over the old windows 7. Then I deleted the old windows files. I used to be able to run many applications at the same time on my old system, for example itunes, firefox and a game, but in Windows...

Back to running Windows-7-pro. Still more solid than 8.1 or beta-10. I have 16-gigs of ram on the board. Windows-7 sees it, but I often wondered if it actually uses it. I had the pagefile at 12-gigs. So I did a test. I moved 38-gigs from one sata drive to another sata drive. The desktop...

I purchased a Windows XP desktop because my old XP desktop motherboard died. I wanted to be able to put my old hard drive (SATA100 7200RPM 160GB) in it and keep on using it. The new desktop has a smaller (looks like 80GB) hard drive that I would like to make a slave out of. I think it is an...

I Just found and tried this, it's so simple and works great. No need to change it in BIOS and reinstall OS or do the regedit method. To change IDE/SATA mode to AHCI from with in windows. Run msconfig (right click far left bottom corner of desktop then left click run, type msconfig). Click...

When I hit the "F2" key to boot, it is forever stuck at the initializing system diagnostics screen. I tried running it in safe mode as well. Am I going about this wrong?

Awhile ago I had a booting issue. Finally got to a point where my PC would boot, but noticed I totally 'lost' 1 of 3 1TB SATA drives I have installed PLUS a partition on my C drive is gone. About 1 week or two ago there were several updates to install. After rebooting my drive and partition...

When I power up my machine, after BIOS the computer beeps with the 'no operating system found, press any key to continue.'. I press a key, and the machine boots no problem. This happens even with only the boot drive in the machine.. I've tried it with the drive in several different SATA plugs...

Hello. Now I have two internal HDDs and one IDE 160GB and one SATA 2 500GB. I'll buy (for personal reasons) one SATA 3 of 1 TB. Questions: 1. Given that my motherboard only supports SATA 2, I'll be able to use (certainly not at the highest performance) the 1 TB HDD? 2. Do you recommend that...

I literally have no clue why or how did this happen. One day, I got home and boot up my laptop to finish a project for school. Then, while the Windows boot screen was loading, it suddenly flashed the BSOD and rebooted. I am quite experienced with these kind of problems. Sometimes, an error like...

Hello everyone. I have an older self-build computer which is several years old. It has an ASUS P5Q Pro mobo and an old Intel Q9400 processor. I originally had WinXP Pro installed on this computer. I went out and bought an OEM copy of W7 Pro and installed it. So I had installed an OEM version...

Hello everyone I will be getting an SSD tomorrow so I've been looking around a bit, but nowhere could I find what I really wanted: what I want is just to install Windows 8.1 on my SSD and then remove my 2 HDD partitions and make them 1 again, and format it so it'll be clean again. I don't...

Hi, I have replaced an IDE HDD with a cloned SDD on an XP SP3 (Asus motherboard) PC. The PC boots up off SDD ok after the error message "IDE HDD master not found press F1" and pressing F1. I'm trying to get rid of this error message. The Bios setup thinks the IDE is still in the PC even thought...
