system drive

I have a Sandisk SSD that has Ubuntu loaded on it. I built a pc and loaded Windows 7 and both hard drives work. The SSD drive shows up in device manager and bios setup. Clicking on my computer the SSD drive does not show up. I look at the ssd using device manager and it gives me the option to...

So here's the story: I have a 500GB 970 Evo Plus NVMe, about 40% full on the motherboard as a C:\ system drive. Works as quick as the board/CPU/RAM (ASUS 970 gaming aura, FX8350, 16GB) will let it. It's only PCIe 2. It's still quite quick. 1.4GB/s read, 1.1 write (seq) from Crystal Mark Also...

I reinstalled window 7 on a computer that was having issues. I deleted the existing Windows partition/drive and ran the install to that Drive (c).

I've got Windows 10 Pro 64bit installed on my system and the hard drive is showing me over 60GB of used space. When I open the C drive and unhide all folders and do a Properties, it shows just over 20GB of used space on my system drive. I'm trying to figure out where 40GB of files are hiding...

I just reformatted my system drive and reinstalled Windows 8.1 yesterday. The only software I've installed so far is Chrome and Steam (just the Steam app, no games). But for some reason I'm using up 80 GB of space on my system drive. Windows can't possibly be using that much space, right? I...

64-bit Win 7, Home Premium, SP1. I recently recovered my C: drive to a new drive (via Symantec SSR Anyware to a new computer) and kept the same disk id on the new drive. Now I want to use the old C: drive on my new system (as an additional data disk) but of course windows won't mount it because...

Hello, i've got free space about 150 gb and I want add it to my C: Drive wich is my local disk. How can I do this?

I think this experience may be useful to Win7/8 users who build and maintain home and small business systems. I regularly clone and swap drives keeping at least one spare at the ready per system at all times. I was shocked to discover that under certain conditions Win7 installation creates a...

When reinstalling Windows 7, does all of the system drive get erased/formatted in the process (I think so) or only the C:\Windows folder and subfolders (which would have been ideal)? I forget since last time. Thank you.

So I have just built a new computer and Installed Win8. The motherboard, processor, and system drive are all brand new Intel stuff; the media drive is a new Seagate. Programs get up and running just fine, but I have transferred my files over from my old xp machine, and Win Explorer is very slow...
