Jan 14, 2011I have Windows 7 Pro installed, but recently purchased Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade edition. I would like to "upgrade" to Ultimate without loosing any of my data/programs/anything so I can use Ultimate's features.
When I try to put the disk in at boot, it tells me to start the install in the booted Windows 7 pro. But when I do this, it tells me to use Windows anytime upgrade!
I paid $219. I want it now. I don't want to buy another "simple" anytime upgrade serial.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMapped Drive Loosing Connection After 6 To 8 Hours?
Feb 20, 2011Ok, here is a problem I have been having lately and it is driving me crazy. I have a network with a server running 2008 Standard R2 and 4 workstations using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I also have 1 other station using Windows XP Professional. The software I run off the server is installed as a client install on the workstations and have to use a mapped drive of E: to let the software see the database. Every 6 to 8 hours of non use of the software... when I reopen it I get a not responding and it has to close and reopen. I looked at the mapped drives and the E: drive disconnects but after opening the E: Drive up it connects right away and then the software works fine. I have tried a lot of things people are saying online. I have disabled autodisconnect -1 in the registry and turned off power management on the Ethernet port. I get the following message when I look at the event viewer.
Event 1005, Application Error"Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or storage drivers on tihs computer may be missing."But here is the kicker... The windows XP Professional works all the time with no problems so it has to be Windows 7. I have the IPs static in the NIC properties and using the DNS of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 which is Google. I was using 192.168.0.100 which was the IP of the server but that didn't make a difference.I gave a lot of details to weed out the normal postingAlso I have DHCP and DNS turned on the server if that would be any possible issue that is causing. I don't know beings I put Google as the DNS if routing in the software would be an issue?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMoving Boot Data To Data Drive
Aug 18, 2012So I've been using my 64GB ssd as my windows 7 boot drive and i have a 1TB hdd as my data drive. Recently the my computer has begun to freeze up with errors like "explorer.exe" has stopped responding or "windows" has stopped responding and half of the time when i try to boot it says it cant find windows. This has lead me to believe that my ssd is dying despite being only a year old. I need to RMA my ssd but to do that i would be losing my boot drive for weeks. So I thought id try to create a system image so that i can simply put my boot drive on my hdd, but when i try to create the image it says that the image would be 711GB because its including all of my hdd (which contains all my user libraries and downloads). My question is: how do I make windows stop thinking that my hdd is a system drive so that I can create a reasonably sized image, or more generally: how can i easily move my boot drive to my hdd? Also, I've read some posts about using "easyBCD" to accomplish the latter but I'm not sure that's exactly what i need in this situation.

Dec 28, 2009I am having a problem formatting a drive. When I first built this computer, I had two 500GB HDD's installed. Originally I installed XP on the machine. Some time ago, I installed Windows 7 on my other drive. I have been using Windows 7 for months now, and I no longer wish to use Windows XP.
I am running out of space on my Windows 7 Drive, I originally only allocated 90GB to it. I want to format my XP drive so I can move things around and get more space, but I cannot reformat, disk management gives me the error, "Windows cannot format the System Partition on this disk."
I REALLY REALLY do not want to have to reinstall windows 7. I basically want to format the XP drive and make that my new media drive, and extending the current Windows 7 drive to include the space that I will gain from moving my media drive.
Formatting A Drive For W7
Jul 17, 2009I'm currently dual-booting Vista and 7, and I want to get rid of Vista, but I'd like a couple people to just confirm for me that I'd be doing it correctly because I don't want to mess up my MBR or anything like that.
I currently have Vista on my C drive and 7 on my F drive. If I go to Computer Management and then Disk Management, this is what I see:
First, because I have a ThinkPad, I have Q and S drives. But I believe they're irrelevant to this question.
My C drive, with Vista, says it's an NTFS drive, "Healthy (Primary Partition)".
My F drive, with 7, says it's an NTFS drive, "Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Logical Drive)".
If I were to just flat-out right click on the C drive with Vista and click format, and then restart, would I be screwed? Or would it load 7 because it would be my only OS? And if this would be a problem, how should I go about removing Vista?
Formatting Drive C On Windows 7?
Nov 30, 2012i had originally windows vista on drive C and then i installed windows 7 on drive E, then i wanted to try windows 8 so i deleted windows vista form drive C and installed windows 8 ... now i tried deleting/formating Drive C to put another OS on it but i couldnt delete the windows folder, im guessing its booting from Drive C into windows 7 on drive E.i used Easy BCD to remove the windows 8 boot entry since im not using it.so what should i do now? how can i format drive C and still make windows 7 boot correctly?

Formatting Secondary Drive?
May 19, 2011I just placed an old hard drive into my computer to use as a slave. After I booted up on my current hard drive I went into disk manager and tried to format all the partitions. I formated one easily but the other won't seem to format. The option to format or delete volume are both greyed out.I then tried to boot from my Windows 7 disk to format the drive that way but it said it could not format dymanic drives. I can't change the drive to basic without deleting the last simple volume.
