I think it is ridiculous...

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...

Mistakenly installed Win7 on free space on D: Installed a second time on C: Now I can't tell which one is booting and I cannot delete Windows files on D; due to permissions. Is there a way to get my space back on D: and be sure that I'm booting from C:?

I've just changed to 64 bit from my previous 32 bit system via a clean install. My question. Is it OK to delete the "Windows Old" file which takes up 60gb on my hard drive? I have done this before and it was OK, I just wondered if there was an issue with the transfer to 64 bit format.

Hi, I have Vista 64 on C: and Windows 7 RTM on F: running simultaneously. I've got Win7 to the point where I can abandon Vista entirely. I was wondering if I could image the Win7 F: drive -- I use Acronis TrueImage -- and replace it onto C: eliminating the Vista instance for the Win7, then...

I installed RTM (x86), and did a "fresh install". When setup was done, I went to delete Windows.old and Windows.000. Windows.000 deleted OK. Windows.old ( which has /Windows and /Program Files directories in it ) won't delete. The OS keeps telling me I need "Trusted Installer" permission to...
