is there a way to arrange my boot menu w/o me having to unplug drivers manually? It is set up to where my back-up 1 tb is the primary boot device, my dvd wr is secondary and my hdd is the 3rd device, so when I start my pc I have to load boot menu and manually select my hdd every time.
View 1 RepliesIn "My Pictures" (only), the "New Folder" option on top is gone and no matter how much I try to arrange the pictures to view my "Subfolders" instead of viewing the pictures arranged by "Day" I can't.I just want that "New folder" option up again, and to view all the subfolders (Arranged by: Folder) I made instead having it "Arranged by: Day". I can still change the "Arranged by: ___" to any of these --->Month, Day, rating, tag.And yes, I've tried changing the "Arranged by: ___" to "Folders" but nothing shows up, except the 4 options I just listed
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running an Advent desktop PC and its stats are as follows; Intel Core i5-2310 CPU @ 2.90GHz 8GB RAM Win 7 64 bit.The problem I am having is when ever i boot up the computer it shows the Advent logo-screen where I can access the boot menu etc but then it goes to a black screen with a cursor/underscore flashing in the top left... This screen stays for quite a while and I am not sure if it stops because of a key I have pressed or just because it has run its course but after it disappears the computer goes back to the logo-screen for a moment and proceeds to boot up as normal except slightly slower than usual.It is a relatively new computer and it has no problems running at all once the boot up is complete it is fast and as friendly as ever.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have XP (x86) installed on one partition.
Last night I installed Windows 7 (x64) on a separate partition.
Anytime I had tried this in the past, using Vista, it always detected the Windows XP partition, and gave me a boot menu with "Earlier Version of Windows" option to boot to.
This is not so with Windows 7.
How can I get the boot menu to show both options, to boot to XP or to Windows 7?
when booting up windows 7 why do I have to key in F1 for windows to start up
View 1 Replies View RelatedI got this new computer and at some point I went into the boot option to try and install my PC to it's factory settings but when I opened up the boot option it showed something like this but not exactly:
1. MC43689SGDAL7
2. MATSHITADVD-RAM
This is very random and unusual and I have found no fix and as you should know it should look something like this:
1. CD/DVD Drive
2. USB
3. Hard Drive
4. something else
Even in my Bios menu it shows the same thing and I cannot change it so I can't boot from a USB or CD, etc.
i did a terrible mistake. i installed windows 7 first on one drive and then i install windows xp on separate drive. and when i restart there was no boot menu to choose the OS from list only windows xp started straight away. i did not knew about EasyBCD . and i put my windows 7 DVD and run recovery. now i can goto windows 7 but xp is missing again. is there any way i will not install xp from beginning and windows 7 can add boot menu in startup to choose xp or 7.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is weird... When I arrange a folder by name that is located in My Documents, all the files disappear and refresh doesnt bring them back! I can reproduce it consistently using blank text documents. If I copy that folder and paste it somewhere outside my documents, I can see the contents again.My Documents are mapped to a separate data partition, but Im not sure if that is the problem because if I copy the folder that just got messed up and put it somewhere else on the data partition, the files become visible again.Lastly, why does the menu "arrange by" only appear when Im inside My Documents folder?Ok, Im starting to answer my own question here, but I just noticed that this only occurs when I access My Documents through the libraries link. If I access it through my personal folder link on the start menu, everything is visible again, and the "arrange by" menu isnt visible

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am doing an upgrade from XP to Windows 7. I have done this numerous times with no problems until today. I put in the disc for the upgrade and loaded the Boot Device Menu (F12). Then I selected Onboard or USB CD-ROM Drive and I can hear the CD spinning but it does nothing. It wont load and the 'Onboard or USB CD-ROM Drive' option stays highlighted. I just installed XP doing this exact same method because I installed a new harddrive and I had no problems. It only occurred once I put in the W7 disc.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout a month and a half ago, I noticed all my desktop icons were on the left side of the screen in alphabetical order. Turning Auto-arrange off or on does nothing. As soon as I refresh or restart my PC, the icons revert back to the auro-arrange display. We have four user on my PC and oddly enough only my account (which is the admin - not sure if that matters) has the problem. I've read a number of old posts (1-2 years old) that discuss accessing the registry.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a colleague who is having problems with documents being saved in 'My Documents' but which are then not visible. After consulting our external IT company, we were told it because the 'Arrange By' option in My Documents was set to 'Name' and it should be set to 'Folder'.
My colleague changed this and it solved the problem. However, every day it reverts to the default arrange by 'name' setting, and she has to manually change it to 'folder'.
How do I change the settings so that it arranges by 'folder' by default?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an eMachines E528 with an Intel Celeron 900 processor. I got the blue screen of death and was able to use the Windows system repair disk to reinstall windows 7. However, while trying to "update" Windows 7 with the SP1 update through the windows update tool, I got the blue screen of death again. This time I cannot boot the computer. I've tried a recovery disk, a system repair disk, a new clean copy of windows 7, and a Partition Wizard bootable CD. Everytime it gets to the point of loading ANY menu, it freezes up and does nothing for hours. I have spent so much time researching and trying things from other forums, and I have gotten nowhere. get a fresh copy of windows on this computer? or get me into the menu that allows me to restore from a system repair disk? I have even tried an "eRecovery" without even going into Windows by pressing ALT F10 at the logo screen as the computer is booting up, and I still get hung up while the application is trying to load the menu options.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7 and XP installed on separate partitions of one drive. I also had a 2nd hard drive, for backing up data, which I think has died so I disconnected it. This machine used to automatically boot into Windows 7, but now it goes to XP. There was nothing installed onto the 2nd drive so I have no idea why disconnecting that would change anything. I've checked, and the Windows 7 files are still available on the working hard drive.Previously, if I wanted to boot into XP instead of 7, I would go into the BIOS and change the boot order of the 2 hard drives, and then it would automatically boot into the other OS.One other thing I remember, is that when I had the Windows 7 loaded up, it showed the Windows 7 partition as being the C drive. When I have XP turned on, it shows the Windows 7 partition as being D drive and XP as being in the C drive.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Windows 7 from a USB drive (16GB) instead of the disc. One of the issues I've encountered after was that in my Win7 boot up, I'm taken to the boot selection menu, which is usually reserved for multi-booting, or crash recovery.The options shown are...- Windows 7 Ultimate- Windows EMS Setupand towards the bottom of the screen some type of diagnostic option. I can't remember off the top of my head.Is there any way I can remove the setup option from this menu? I would like to boot straight into Windows without timing out, or having to select it manually.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter imaging many, many Win 7 systems, we discovered that the Desktop | View | "Auto Arrange" option and "Align to grid" option were off. We want them on (because the computers are in public spaces).Is there a set of registry settings or group policy settings that we can use to turn those options on?I have found that a registry setting([HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellBags1Desktop] "FFlags"=dword:00200220 ) is related to those options, but just changing that key (to "FFlags"=dword:00200225 ) does not do anything. Refreshing the RegEdit screen just changes the value back to its previous value.
