So I booted from my win7 install disc, got to the part where I formatted my hard drive, and started the install, but at the "Windows is expanding files" part it doesn't move past 0% and i get this error that says that something may be corrupted. This doesn't make any sense to me because I've had the computer working for almost two years now, and reinstalled win7 with the same disc multiple times.
View 1 Repliesit's good to join you. Now i have very big problem. So i bought new motherboard (3 days ago) and installed all parts: cpu, 2 HDD's (160GB sata and 250GB ide) + ODD and that's all. Then, how ussualy i plugged power cable to motherboard. Everything is connected good. I turn power on-> insert Win7 home premium x64 CD -> boot -> start to install -> format and create 2 partitions (1 partition for 1 HDD) -> press that windows will be installed on 160 GB HDD -> windows loads files and when start expanding it goes slow. Few times (maybe 2 of all) it reached 60% but more than 25% - never. What i see and what happens: I see blue screen with information that i must disable antivirus and so on. In the end of the page i see that something is stopped (but now i cant write what because i can't see).
When i try to install win xp, it seems like everything is OK. Oh i forgot to say that i tested and wiped my HDD's with hirens bootable cd.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7. I was installing i-tunes and when it asked to restart my computer I restarted it. When it logged back in the desktop was like in the beginning - the desktop theme was some default picture not the one I had put on, no additional programs were not installed and the worst part - my user folder on the desktop was completely empty! All of the folders My Music, My Pictures etc. had only Sample Pictures and Sample Music in them. I tried searching for my files but they cannot be found. Even worse - in My Computer the Local Disk is shown to be almost empty, like all of my files hadn't been there. So is there any way I can find and restore my files?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter I updated my Internet Explorer 9 Beta, the items in my Start menu are no longer expandable and I cannot click on them. I am not refering to the All Programs, but the items in the blue bar such as Documents, Favorites, Recent Items etc. Clicking on the main item (ex: Favorites) will list my favorites and folders, but I cannot click on any of them or expand the items inside. Oddly enough, I can expand and click on Favorites from within IE9.
A shutdown, restart, disk check have all failed to fix the problem. As I stated, this started immediately after I did the latest update to my IE9 Beta dated 15 Feb 2011.
I was wondering is there any plugin for Windows 7 that allows you to expand a folder without actually clicking into the folder?
Basically the functionality that is in the navigation pane but not for the main explorer window. OS X and Ubuntu both have this feature, anyone know of a plugin for explorer or a registry tweak to add this functionality (for the main window)???
Here are the screenshots of OS X and Ubuntu so you know exactly of what I'm talking about.
I wanted to have this searchable in case others have come across the same problem. This problem occurs when you try to install certain programs. I tried all of these fixes, but I'll label the one that worked for me. (I will only show the fixes I tried which have been confirmed to work for others). My operating system is a Windows 7 64 bit.
1. Create a new administrator account, log on to that account, then run the installer from that account. (this is what worked for me. )(Simply running the installer as an administrator account from my normal account did not work)
2. Go to the command prompt (by clicking the windows logo/start and typing cmd ),then type regedit inside the command prompt and press enter. Browse to the location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software --> Microsoft --> Windows -->Current Version --> Explorer --> User Shell Folders. Click to highlight the Recent key, then click File, export. Save the file (but remember where you saved it to). Go back to the registry editer, right click Recent and click delete. Restart your computer and try the installation again. (please take care when you're in the registry editer, deleting the wrong thing could lead to:.(If this one did not work, go back to User Shell Folders inside the registry editor, click a blank area inside the right pane, click File, import, and choose the Recent key you exported earlier. This will put the key back in your registry.)
3. Boot up in safe mode with networking ( to do this, start up your computer and press F8 like a madman before the windows logo appears on the screen.) and try to run the installer as an administrator.
How to Turn On or Off Expand to Current Folder in Windows 7 Navigation Pane ?
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have spent the last couple of days playing around with my new Asus Zenbook Prime (UX31A-DB51). Being that it only has a 128 GB SSD in it, I would like to delete the 10 GB recovery partition (already made a backup ISO using Asus's included AI Recovery software) and expand my main C: partition to take back that 10 GB. There is also a 4 GB Parition on the drive, but I do not know what that is for. Listed below are the four partitions my drive is broken into and the descriptions provided for them in the Disk Management tool.
1) 200 MB - Healthy (EFI System Partition)
2) OS C: 104.92 GB NTFS - Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
3) 4.00 GB - Healthy (Primary Partition)
4) 10.00 GB Healthy (Recovery Partition)
I have used the Disk Management tool on previous Windows 7 PCs to delete/shrink/expand partitions?what that third partition above would be for and if I can delete it to absorb into my main OS C: partition?Second, the 10.00 GB Recovery Partition does not give me the option to delete/shrink/expand the partition at all? When I right-click on the partition, all it does is popup a Help link.After loading on the essential apps for us (Photoshop Elements 10, Zune, Office Pro 2010, Microsoft Security Essentials, and a few other small apps), We are down to about 60 GB of space remaining, so if there is a way to take back that 10-14 GB, it would come in handy.
