system drive

I attempted to run msconfig to uncheck some progs in my startup, like I did already many times before, always with no problems at all. Then my Windows 7 Ultimate PC (Dell XPS M1530) crashed with a broken RAM (one of my two 2GB is defect, so I took it out and restarted with 2GB). All is fine...

Hey there, When i first installed Windows 7 I had 3 RAIDs and I chose to install it on dev2. In that process win7 wrote the system / boot partition on dev0 and killed the header to that encrypted partition (even thought I did not select that device during the installation process). While I...

Hey, my problem is that, im not sure how i did it but I sometime accidently added System c: drive music library share list thing, so everytime I open wmp12 it loads slow (due to all those sound files in the system of course). Anyway I would be an idiot not to try fix it, so by instinct, I remove...

I have a raid 1 system drive with 3 partitions. Partition 1 had XP64 on it, partition 2 is a logical partition and is just storage, and partition 3 has XP32 bit on it. I got my copy of Windows7 and went to install over the XP64 install and it worked great. Now I can't boot into XP32. These...

I did a clean install of Win7 to a partition from a running Vista system in another partition. The install assigned A: as the drive letter for the system disk. I built this installation up and it is my official installation. Things run fine but there is one confirmed application that thinks A...

Hi. I installed the Windows 7 7100 RC on a second hard drive, such that I'm prompted to choose an OS when I boot the computer. When I boot into the Windows 7 OS, none of my programs from the other drive show up in the Programs list--no games, no Firefox, etc. I can still access those files...

Link Removed Yesterday, Microsoft published Knowledge Base article 970789, which provides details of a problem that affects the 32-bit (x86) English-language version of Windows 7 build 7100. The problem, in short, is that the installer incorrectly sets access control lists (ACLs) on the root...

I've been using Windows 7 for a while now but all the sudden I'm having an issue with one of my Hard Drives. I have a 320gig SATA as my primary system drive, a 500gig SATA data drive (this one is set to 'dynamic') and then an 120gig ATA drive (That I currently have no data on yet.) For a...

I did a clean install of W7 on a completely separate drive with my XP system drives disconnected. Can I modify the boot.ini on my XP system to implement a dual boot??????? What do I have to do on the W7 drive??? thx

Ok I need major help on this! I'm currently on Vista Ultimate. If I go to Administrative Tools and select Computer Management and select "Disk Management" I can see my drives. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!! I have the drives like this: DISK_0 [150GB] "MAIN BACKUP (D:)" - 150GB NTFS [Active...

I am having a really difficult time "renaming" or "labeling" hard disk drives (ide) and (sata) and (usb) When I right click the drive and choose rename, it does nothing after I type the new name in, I also have tried to go into Disk Management to label them, same efffect, does nothing. (also...

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...
