I have formatted my Acer Aspire 5552 and Installed Windows 7. Previously, my ''main drive'' was my Local Disk (D: ) (450GB) and now it is Local disk (C: ) (20 GB) So there is no room for my programs, etc.. so how I swap them around?Have tried to save the programs on Local Disk (D: ) , but then they do not work.
View 2 RepliesI am writing this on a new build PC with Win 7 RC installed. The problem benig I installed a small spare HD, I have got so involved in learning Win 7 and liking what I'm seeing that I got it set up great but the HD is not the one I want to use.
My other internal HD of an other PC is much larger and the one I wish to use. I don't know how/the procedure in transferring my settings files, folders from the small to the larger HD.
I have every single folder, file, emails and so on backed up on an external HD, so once larger internal HD is up and running I could restore/transfer my files/folders/e-mails/favorites that way but what about settings.
The larger HD as yet does not have Win 7 RC installed and this will have to be done first. I do not wish to partion the larger HD yet.
There are possible several effective ways to transfer everything, settings and so on from the small to the large but need the procedure explained, simple works best with me.
Or would it simply be best to install Win 7 on big HD and then transfer/restore, files,folders and so from the external back up HD.
Well as everyone using Windows RC knows, it'll be shutting down every hour or so starting in a week or so.
I've been looking at two different options. First option was to use Ubuntu 9.1.0 though I have no experience with it. Thing is I game a little and wanted to run games also. I looked into using Wine yet its not always guaranteed.
Second option was to do a clean install of Windows 7 using an OEM copy for far less than retail. Also, thing is..I might be receiving a new computer from school and was wondering how it would work out if I installed the Windows 7 OEM to this hard drive then swapped it out to the new computer. I heard you cannot change anything once the OEM is installed without calling Microsoft. Would it be possible to swap out the hard drive and put it into my new machine?
The hard drive in my friends Dell Inspiron 15R (M501R/M5010) needs to be replaced. I have access to an older HP pavillion hard drive with identical specs (SATA, 5400 rpm, 9.4mm/70mm, etc.). Before I spend a few hours taking apart the inspiron to get to the hard drive which is not easily accessible, I want to make sure the two hard drives are interchangeable, and that there won't be any HP vs. Dell compatibility issues.
View 1 Replies View RelatedTrying to figure out what is involved in changing hard drives in a new Atg 6420 laptop. Im guessing I need to create a ghost image of current HD, but not sure how to. Once that's done do you just install new HD and reinstall ghost. It doesn't seem like it should be that difficult.

These drives are regularly switched between buildings as part of our backup strategy, always having one off-site. I have assigned drive letters M,N,O,P to respective partitions. When I swap the drives, the drive letters get reset and have to be manually reassigned. assigning the drive letters, including USBDM, but get no results.

My former hard drive with my MBR on it failed. This hard drive was/is 750GB and when I purchased my 'main' 2TB hard drive I made another fresh install of Windows. In other words, I had two installations of Windows on two separate hard drives. However, the MBR is located on the now-failed 750GB hard drive, and so my 2TB install of Windows won't work. I have tried (and failed) at repairing or otherwise installing a new MBR on the 2TB hard drive.

I am eligible for the $14.99 USD upgrade to Windows 8.Will there be an installation disk for Windows 8 available at this price and if not, then how much more will it cost?If not, then how should I ensure that I can easily install Windows 8 after a hard disk crash?

I have few questions on Windows 7 Upgrade. Currently I'm using windows vista home premium 64 bit and I bought an windows 7 home premium 64 bit upgrade disk.
first thing is I want to format my previous operating system and all the data in my laptop and install windows 7 in it using the Upgrade disk.
second thing is I don't have my vista installation disk with, my laptop was pre-installed with vista so in future if I want to switch can I get back VISTA using system restore.
third is can i install windows 7 on a new hard disk using a windows 7 Upgrade disk?
My friend bought a laptop with a dead hard drive, so she went on craigslist and bought a 250GB HD with windows 7 on it. The problem is the new HD was from a dell computer and her laptop is a Compaq. I know about the MB bios not being compatible and thats why the HD wont boot to windows(I'm NOT Computer Illiterate) I just need help with options. I want to know how to reformat the HD and keep windows 7 that is on it.One of the solutions I found was to download the windows 7 ISO and burn it to a DVD or a 4GB flash drive and install it that way... neither I nor my friend has a job so buying a legitimate windows 7 disk is a no go(*sigh*) and we don't have a DVD burner, so that option is a no go.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently have a laptop running Windows 7 Pro 64 and a Desktop running Windows 7 Pro 32. What I would like to do is do a fresh install on both PC's but install the 64bit onto the Desktop and the 32bit onto the Laptop. I know the process is easy enough, but once both are installed properly, would I run into any issue during activation or any other issues? Would there be anything I need to do before hand? (not including backing up files and such).

One day, seemingly at random (I know that it obviously was not), my steam client stopped working, so doing a virus scan malwarebytes returned a positive. So I removed it, but having done this I thought my computer was fine, but when I opened Word 2010 I got the error "There is not enough memory or disk space to run Word" I have 281 Gb of free hard drive space and 8 Gb of RAM. I even used the installation CD and used "repair" which didn't work. I also tried clearing the Temp folder, but the problem persists
View 2 Replies View RelatedTwo weeks ago my laptop harddrive (Toshiba - 500GB) started to fail, so I created a system image and tried replacing the HDD with a SSD (OWC - 240GB) after getting an error I figured out I needed to use a HDD that was 500GB+ even though my system image was only a 115 GB file. So I got a Seagate 500GB drive and restored it with no problems. However, I'd still like to use the SSD so I partitioned the new C: drive down to 150GB and tried to create an system image of just the C: & System. But I'm still getting this error when I try to recover the system image to the SSD. I'm following the exact steps that I used when I restored it to the Seagate HDD.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm getting an eVGA e-GeForce GTX 285 soon, and I currently have a BFG GeForce 8800 GTX in my system. I usually uninstall the graphics driver I have installed, and then swap the card and install it's new driver. Is there any other "better" way, or is that pretty much the standard procedure?
Is a registry sweep recommended to get rid of any remaining driver components? Do you recommend any programs to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a number of different laptops running Windows 7 and all have the same issue. The very first time a laptop is connected to the company network via Ethernet or WiFi (lets assume we have connected by WiFi) you receive the prompt to choose a network location. After selecting "work" the laptop can connect to the domain and everything works as expected.
Now if the WiFi on the laptop is switched off and the user try's to use the Ethernet connection the Ethernet adapter reports a "Unidentified Network". The only way to get the Ethernet adapter to discover the domain is to disable the WiFi adapter completely which our users cannot do as they do not have Admin permissions on our systems.
How can I stop Windows from swapping the VirtualBox application's memory to disk when it's idle? It's a performance issue when my guest OS looks for data and it's not available - also since it makes use of its own sawp partition.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy understanding has always been that if you swap out a motherboard, you need to re-install the OS with board-specific drivers because the existing drivers are no longer compatible with the new hardware.Or, another example is building a new PC and using the hard drive out of an older PC that was dying to avoid having to reinstall software.....is this possible?I've heard people say that you don't need a fresh install, which makes me wonder.
