May 23, 2011I am going to be helping a friend who has an HP computer that has 4 primary partitions already. We need to add a 5th partition.
1. convert a partition to Extended and add logical partitions in it
2. Eliminate the System Reserved partition, mark the C: partition as active, and then run startup repair 3 times to recreate the boot files into the C: drive.Is this an accurate assessment, and if so, what are the tradeoffs of each method?I know that with #2 you would lose use of the system tools that are there, but a Win 7 Repair Disc would work for those purposes when needed.
Adding A USB 3.0 Pci Card?
May 27, 2012I would like to add a USB 3.0 pci-e card to my system. There are several to choose from but none that I find have a 'header' to bring the USB to a port on my front panel. Those ports are now fed by the USB 2.0 header on my MB. I would sure be nice if I could have a USB 3.0 on the front.

Dec 22, 2010I am getting a new SSD for christmas. I will be installing Windows 7 Ultimate on it doing a fresh/clean install on a new drive. However, once that is done, I want to connect my old HDD (which was Windows 7 Pro) and get the images and stuff off of it, so I can format it and use strictly for sotrage. Is it going to cause a conflict? Is this even possible? I don't want to keep the OS on the old HDD. I plan on using that on a different computer.

Apr 25, 2011I currently have a licensed Windows 7 x86 version installed on a desktop. I purchased a new SSD that I plan to use for the OS, Office, and some productivity applications. Games and media will remain on my existing 500GB hard drive. The hard drive currently holds my 32-bit installation of Windows 7. I want to install 64-bit Windows 7 on my new SSD and keep the data on my HDD.
Should I unplug my HDD when I install 64-bit Windows 7? If I plug in the HDD after installation will there be a conflict as to which OS should boot? I don't want to dual-boot or go back to x86, so I don't care about the windows installation on the HDD, just the data.
Should I keep my HDD plugged in with the new SSD and then install Windows 7 x64 to the SSD? Will that keep all of my HDD data intact?

1) Do you think it would be best to use this new drive as C: or main drive? Or to use it as storage and keep C: as is?
2) If used as main drive, are there issues installing Win7 on it and already having a Win7 install on another hard drive?
3) suggested improvements for video card upgrade.
Adding A Header To A PDF Print Job?
Apr 13, 2011I have to print a few dozen PDFs, each of which have between ten and one hundred pages each. The problem is, none of them actually reference their source, so when my boss reads them next to each other and piles them together, he has no way of knowing which ones came from which PDF. Is there a way I can add a "header" to the top of each page of a printed PDF, much like how when I add page numbers to a print job they go in the "footer"?I'm running Windows 7 and printing a PDF from Firefox. If it allows for more customizable print jobs I can print the PDF from Adobe Reader.

Aug 1, 2011I recently built a system based on a MSI Z68-GD80 mobo + i7-2600k. Comes with Virtue which is supposed to automatically switch from Intel gfx to discrete gfx card when a game is fired up has a white list of approved games and the ability to add your own game to the list.Although I am not a gamer, I tried adding the exe for Cinema 4D to the list, but it didn't activate the Virtu process when I opened C4D.So I was wondering - has any forum members successfully added any graphics apps to the Virtu list, or is it really only for 3D games and just gets triggered by DirectX etc.BTW I would like to use both on-die and discrete gfx because my Black Gold HDTV card works great with Intel gfx, but pixelates with the HD5770 card.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAdding 2nd Bootable Drive & OS To PC ?
Jul 9, 2010I have a laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate as the bootable C: drive and wish to add a 2nd bootable drive using a caddy holding the 2nd HDD in a modular bay. If I wish to install Windows XP on the 2nd HDD it will presumably be configured as the D: drive and all the programs installed on it will adopt the assignation as being on D: Am I correct in assuming that if I swapped this drive into the main laptop drive bay most or none of the programs would work as their configuration would not be set up for a C: drive? I would prefer to get the 2nd bootable OS on the drive in the caddy as it will save constantly having to remove the C: drive and swap it with the 2nd drive. I am sure this is a fairly common issue, it's just that I have never set up this type of configuration before.

Apr 17, 2012I am planning to add some 1080p MKV files to a DVD+RW. I know I will probably have to convert them to a different format so that players can read them, but what format would you recommend I use and how should I go about it? Also I am wondering about the quality loss. To my understanding there will be a loss in quality, but will it be that significant? I want the video to look good, but I would like to use DVDs because I don't think my computer (Dell Inspiron N7110) can write to Blu-ray discs. And since that's the only way to put the files onto a Blu-ray (without buying a recorder for it) I am planning on using DVD+RW discs.

Nov 30, 2011I get a router as an "added layer of protection". Currently I have a dell XPS i7 running norton 2012 that is directly connected via ethernet cable to a motorola SB5120 (using comcast high speed).My question is would adding a router actually add any protection to my PC? Comcast will provide me with a netgear WNR1000v2 wireless router, my friend looked that particular model up and said it has most of the features needed and should do the trick.Also, when I went down to comcast and looked at the router the person there showed me a feature on it that allowed the user to turn off/disable the wireless. If the wireless feature is turned off/disabled on the wireless router then no wireless signals are being transmitted correct?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAdding Raid AFTER Installing OS?
Apr 12, 2012I have a machine with windows 7x64 installed on an SSD in AHCI. MB is MSI FXA990-GD80 with AMD raid controller. I don't think there are two different controllers like some MBs. I have decided to add a RAID 5 array (I am not interested in discussing the validity of RAID 5 or that I need to us a different form of backup). I'm using RAID 5 and booting to the SSD.When I enable RAID, Windows bluescreens on startup. I tried running the windows startup repair utility and adding the AHCI driver from AMD which then detected the drive/windows installation and attempted to repair something, but it seems to have done nothing.I then thought I read I could set the mode to RAID-UEFI and boot to the SSD and configure the raid in windows, but the only thing it boots to then is the UEFI shell. Do I need to configure a boot device there?
