windows installation

Hi all, So I had canada computers build me a computer back in late august (I picked all the parts) and I've been having problems from day 1. Originally it was the occasional BSOD and my computer would always seem to hang on shut down, until one day windows just refused to boot. For some reason...

So about a day ago my desktop began displaying the blue screen upon login and then instant restart. I was not able to access safe mode as it did the exact same thing. I tried startup repair, memory diagnostics tool, system recovery, nothing worked. so i cleared everything on my drive...

I have this problem for a while now, I honestly do not know if this is a problem or not or a bug or god knows what. From time to time, the hard drive makes a weird noise, like its blocked and when I look at the event viewer looks like this: The device, \ Device \ Harddisk0 \ DR0, Has a bad...

I dont remember doing anything wrong on my computer then browsing youtube, the web, messenger, watching videos and doing my homework on word. My acer has 500 GB HDD and 4 GB memory. All of the sudden while I was working, my computer starts being slow and not responding to my actions quickly...

It seems wonderful to me that Microsoft is unable to fix it's own problems. I bought this computer as a custom build brand new and picked it up sunday after delivering my brand new copy of Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit edition (upgrade from windows xp). I was eager and ready hearing wonderful...

Hi there, As a first note (I want to stress this), this problem didn't happen "once", but this is the 8-10th time it happened. I own a pretty decent HP laptop, "elitebook 8530w" with (apart from the HDD, which is 250 GB) the most high end options. First my computer seemingly becomes...

Just put together a brand new computer, Windows installed fine (running x64 bit Ultimate), everything loaded up fine the first time. Then I installed the driver and utility for my network card, and everything seemed fine til I got an internet connection, at which point it froze, and the only...

Here's the story. I had Windows XP on my original 500GB disk in my computer. We will call this DISK XP. I bought a new 1TB drive and bought Windows 7 64bit to put on it. Call this one DISK W7. I just recently moved all my old files from DISK XP to DISK W7 so I decided I wanted to format DISK...

Hello, Windows 7 went south on me and is now completely unbootable. I used the repair tool on the install disk and nothing. When I told it to stop on BSOD it said that the volmgrx.sys was messed up. Also, It wont even boot in safe mode. Fortunately I had imaged this hard drive only a...

I recently did a clean install of my system. I had previously used the Family Pack key 3 times on 3 separate computers. I did the clean install on one of those three computers but now it won't recognize the key, even though it is legit. Is this a known issue? and is there a way to fix it?

I've just installed Windows 7 x64 Home Premium and it's a nightmare thanks to UAC. Things have finally come to a head now I've tried to delete a folder in Windows.Old only to be told I require permission from administrators. Things is, I'm the only user of this machine. I AM the administrator...

First 3 downloads of the iso weren't complete...I didn't notice until I tried 2 burns. Then I resorted to downloading elsewhere and after 3 more downloads I got the right file(verified by hash) for 64 bit Windows Pro English. Burned the iso to my thumb drive fine, seemed to install fine and...

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 have downloaded W7 from a few places and I cannot get the ei.cfg trick to work. I have tried two ways. BTW, I use magic ISO, which I am starting to believe is the problem. I d/l the ISO and open it with MI, then delete the ei.cfg file and save as an ISO file, burn to DVD. That gives me a...
