View 2 Replies View RelatedI got a new desktop just under 2 months ago. It's not a big deal but it can bug me sometimes. This is what My Computer looks like:OS C: is the primary internal HD.Local Disk L: is my 320GB external HDD.DVD RW D: is my one and only CD/DVD drive.E:, F:, G: and H: drives are non existent as physical drives installed on the computer, but they appear as options within the menu. How do I get rid of these if they don't even exist?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn the screen shot, C, E, and F are legit volumes/drives. I have no idea what this Local Disk 'Q' is. I try to open it, says not accessible (and it shouldnt be because it doesnt exist)
Also, Removable Storage, I have 1 DVD drive, the rest G - L are bogus. One of those is listed as a BD-ROM which I dont have either.
Why are these listed when they dont exist?
I am planning on upgrading from XP to Windows 7 Professional fairly soon. I know that it performs a clean install and that I need to back up my C drive.
My question is in regards to my secondary hardrive. Will the clean install also wipe the second hardrive or will it leave it untouched? Basically, can I back up my C drive onto the secondary drive without fear of losing it all? I would assume it would leave the second drive alone but I couldn't find any info and thus, why I am here asking.
Amazing how fast one uses up the USB Ports supplied in the desktop PC.
Am trying to only use the ones in the back, as it gets messy if I also use the two on the front.
Have an external powered 4-Port hub that I purchased, and am using that also.
Seems like I need another one or two spigots.
Question: If I get another powered external 4-Port extender, can this be plugged into a port on the existing extra Port extender I already have, or must it only be plugged into one of the USB ports in the back of the PC ?
Does it matter at all, and the PC will recognize it either way ?

View 9 Replies View RelatedOk, I just got a new Windows 7 Computer (yea! ). When I open up My Computer, it shows 4 "Removable Drives" (Which, I assume, are from my flash card reader, though there are no cards in them). They are hidden drives, but I set it so that it will show hidden files and folders.... I don't like all the clutter of the extra unneeded drives, so is there a way to hide individual drives?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently partitioned my hard drive (using Paragon Partition editor) and it failed, after finally getting my MBR working again, I only had 800GB rather than 920GB. This was the amount I had tried to allocate to a different partition, yet it does should 920GB some places. This shows the problemI really need to get the rest back ( I make movies and need space)Gparted finds it as 920.04 GB's, so it is definitely Windows that will not detect it.UPDATE
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy new Dell computer came with what looks like an extra taskbar at the top of the Windows 7 desktop, although it's bigger then the taskbar. Was there from the first time I turned on the computer. It's disappeared with no explanation.
I've spent over an hour looking at Windows 7 desktop screen captures and tutorials, and can't find anything that looks like it, and almost all other photos I've seen of the Windows 7 desktop don't have it at all.
I'm guessing this is something that the Dell OEM version of Windows 7 uses? Is it even part of Windows 7 or is this something from Dell? I'm not even sure what it's officially called, and don't know how to get it back.
The closest photo that explains what it looks like is attached. In that photo, it looks like someone took it and made it into a circle, but on my Dell computer it was on the top of the desktop in a straight line.
I have Windows 7 premium installed on my Dell. Using instructions found elsewhere I loaded the Fujitsu drivers and have a worl 1024x768 display. The only problem is if I hibernate the PC, when it wakes up it thinks the display is spread over two monitor the digital flat panel on Intel 8230M graphics controller and a default monitor. Sometimes I can change the screen resolution to not use the second monitor but most time I have just restart. I never have this problem after a start/restart. How to fix?

I just had a quick question on the possibility of setting up a kind of like virtual machine for an additional monitor in my room. You see, I am Renovating my room, and in the process, I am going to be building a custom queen sized bunk bed And on the top bunk, we are putting a 32" LED, and i was wondering if there was anyway to set up that screen as a virtual machine, with its own keyboard and mouse. I have a Logitech G19 and gaming mouse that I primarily Use, but i have an extra wireless Logitech keyboard, that i use for typing essays and such. So basically i want to be able to use the wireless keyboard on the top bunk, so that, lets say, if im playing games on my main screen, someone else can be watching movies or surfing the web on the bunk bed screen. Any Ideas? I know that i can extend the desktop, and just drag over a movie to the other screen, something along those lines, but in that case they wouldn't have their own mouse, it would be dependent on mine.

i am running windows 7 64 bit on a Sony Vaio, about a month old. Just noticed when i open my network and sharing center, and click on full network map, it shows my computer, and my router (asus rt-n56u) but also has 3 extra hubs and switches in there that i dont have. I have a direct cable connecting to a Motorola modem, then to my router. If i take the router out of the equation and hard wire directly to the modem, it just shows my computer icon, router ico, and internet icon.

drive f: has 49 gig more used space then cloned drive d: users on drive f: is 39 gig larger than users on drive d: the d: drive also has around 50 gigs less used space.
all the other folders are the same size, so not only have I cloned, somehow an extra 49 gb to the f: drive but 10 gb seems to have 'gone'! I used Acronis True Image WD Edition and everything appeared to go well. I don't want to format my other drive as extra storage until I have some idea what has happened.

I dont have any more fan outputs from motherboard! Which is the best option Can I daisey chain a extra Y lead in ? Will there be enough power to run them only 80mm fans? buy a lead and connect straight to power but I am guessing runs this full power all the time so making extra noise or get a fan controler?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for performance for graphics editing - high res and large files, 200MB files are not unusual - and do a lot of design and publishing work, sometimes on large and complex documents. Occasionally I'm working with video from phones but might get more into HD video in the future.Current machine does what I need quite happily - Windows 7 x64, 6GB (DDR3 10600) RAM, ASUS Sabretooth X58. I've got an opportunity to add some more RAM - another 12GB - for not much money. Might do it just to see what happens - but am I going to notice any difference at all? Are there any clever things that I (or the OS) can do with a surplus of RAM? Or will it just use more power?
