Recently had the "Error Loading Operating System" problem. I didn't have my original copy of Windows 7, so I downloaded one off the internet and used the product key located underneath my laptop, but I'm having some problems. I used Partition 2 to install the Windows 7 again and I was able to...

Hello Guys, I want to remove the "windows boot manager" on my HD that is installed with Windows 7, or do not want that screen when I start the computer and there is the option to choose which system to boot. I have only Windows 7 installed on your computer. Thanks, Samuel

I have never really bothered with media centre in the past, but i saw a new feature where you can watch internet tv through it. So i checked it out and could only find sky player which is nice since i am a sky customer just a shame its "coming soon". But what i really wanted was to be able to...

My computer occasionally bluescreens with nvlddmkm.sys (nvidia graphics driver) when I boot on windows 7, but this time it somehow corrupted the hard drive, and it wouldn't boot. Even when I tried to boot on XP it would bluescreen with NTFS.sys as soon as the login screen should appear (never...

I have my Dell Inspiron 530s connected to a Samsung HD TV monitor for use as a media center. When I power off my monitor, it causes the computer to shutdown/crash. When I turn the monitor back on, the computer restarts itself, occasionally going to a black screen giving startup options. The...

I have an HP laptop g60 120-us and now when I fire up W7 all I get is my HP boot screen then it cuts to the black screen of death, I suspect because I used 3rd. party software to change my loading screen, I need a way to boot into safemode or do a system restore from the selection of stuff you...

Okay, read through many dual boot threads here but none seem to be quite like my problem. My system drive failed in a media center PC I have built. I used my XP MCE 2005 install CD to create a new system drive, on a 1TB disc which had formerly been reserved for movies only. There was still...
