have a PC with a smoked motherboard and salvaged the hard drive beffore pitching the PC in the dumpster. The data on the HD was written by a windows 7 64-bit OS. If I install that hard drive in a PC with a 32-bit Windows 7 OS, will it read the data?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo earlier this year I constructed my first computer, which I sunk about 2k into and made fantastic . But, having no experience, I installed a 32 bit Windows 7 OS, thereby limiting my available RAM. Since I am a gamer, this is a bit of an issue. Now I have a new SSD, and I was wondering if I could simply load a 64 bit OS onto that drive and boot from there, thereby avoiding the reformatting of my current drive.
The primary drive is a 1TB regular hard drive, the secondary is a 64Gig Samsung 830 SSD.
My old hard drive gave out, but in a manner that allows me to copy files off of it still for about 10 minutes at a time. I'm not sure what is wrong with it, but I can't repair it. I would like to recreate the Windows environment (installed programs, customized settings, etc.). I have copied just about all of the files off of the drive, but my question now is: How do I recreate it? I have created a fresh install of Windows 7 on a spare hard drive, but wanted to see if it is as simple as just copying all the files over to the new drive ( I don't think so)?

This morning i.1: Unmounted and unplugged my external drive which is a WD My Book Essential 2TB2: Took it to a colleague and tried to connect it to his IMac4 which has OS X3: Nothing worked, we could see the drive but couldn't access it even with the help of somme tools made for that.4: Took it back home, plug it in....nothing. It doesn't show in My Computer and according to Disk Management and Paragon Partition Manager the space is unallocated.What do you think is happening?
I need to know how to wipe/format the hard drive to be able to re-install Windows 7 as 32bit.

I am trying to run some old Humongous games (Putt-Putt, Spy Fox, Pajama Sam, etc) on a Windows 7 64bit machine.. Some run, but some say they aren't compatible with a 64bit os.. Is there anything I can do to get these to run on my system?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been running build 7260 for awhile on my Asus notebook (see system spec) and so far have not had too many issues with it. Since I have done several succesive upgrades: Vista Business > Windows 7 build 7227 > Windows 7 build 7260 I have noticed some bugs creeping in (apps and games are crashing periodically or not loading correctly, gaming performance could be better). I attribute this to the string of successive upgrades.
I am going to wipe the drive and do a clean install of either the 32 or 64 bit RTM build in the next few days as it becomes available. One of the main goals is to increase performance with both applications and games. I use this laptop for work doing web development and heavy photoshop and graphics intensive work. I typically have many applications open at once using quite allot of system resources.
For this project I am going to:
A: Add another 2gb of ram to bring the total from 3gb to 4gb, or
B: Add a fast 16gb sd card to the system for the ReadyBoost feature, probably using around 6 to 9gb for this feature
For me to add the extra gig of ram it becomes more necessary to install the 64 bit build. If I use the 16gb sd card for ReadBoost, I can probably stick with 32 bit. None of my apps are currently 64 bit anyhow so I am not sure 64bit is the way to go right now.
I would like to hear people's thoughts on this and what others experiences have been especially using ReadyBoost on systems with over 2gb of memory..

Currently i got windows 7 32bit
and I'm not happy with him not showing all my 4GB Ram.
is it possible to update Windows 7 32bit to 64bit without the clean installation? if so;
- how to do it?
- how reliable it is?
reason is because I already have a lot of applications installed and configured in my machine and it will be time consuming to re-do the process from scratch.

View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently, going back over my quasi-gaming rig, I found out that my processor (Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200) is 64-bit, not 32. I've been running 32-bit Windows 7 ever since I got it. When I bought Windows 7, I did so off of the Microsoft store, so I always have the option to go back into my purchase history and download a new .iso of either the 32- or 64-bit release. I did so, and ran Microsoft's USB/DVD tool for Windows 7 to put it on a USB drive (I didn't have any DVD-R's on hand) and it all seemed to work perfectly fine. But when I try to boot from the USB drive, it goes from the "Windows is loading files" screen to the "Starting Windows" screen, then gives me an unexpected error and forces me to reboot. I already tried redownloading the .iso, in case it was a corrupt download.

I just need the home premium and having 32bit with 8gb ram doesn't make any sense. I downloaded my copy(home premium 64bit) but the computer doesn't let me install it. I've been reading and it seems that in order to install the 64bit I'll lose all my data(that doesn't matter 'cause I have none).
