Putting 4 Gigs Of Ram To Use
Feb 26, 2010I am running windows 7 with a AMD X2 5600+ 4 GB DDR 800 and a 9800GT EE I am running windows 7 right now with 1300mb in use and 2700 free, around that. Anyway I was wondering if there is a way to speed things up by using more memory, would disabling virtual memory help? These might be stupid questions but they are worth asking for me but not someone smarter. Anyway I would like to be able to have the operating system use more ram and be able to run games better. I am running 64 bit.
If anyone has any negative comments about my system please hold off because I am excited with how cheap I put this system together, I know it's not up to date but I can put it to some good use.

Jul 20, 2011I have recently purchased an HP laptop with no cd-drive and hence created the recovery media on a USB.Due to some problems with this recovery media process - I ended up doing a clean install on Win7 instead.

Freezing At 48% In Expanding Files At Installation
Nov 2, 2009I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista Home Premium.
I got the upgrade from DigitalRiver, in 32 bit as suggested by my very techie brother. I run the install, everything seems fine, but it seems to get "hung up" at 48% in the last step (I think it's "Expanding Files?") The cursor still moves, and the ellipses are still progressing, but it doesn't move beyond that. I've tried three times, leaving it overnight for 9+ hours, and nothing beyond 48%!
I have an HP Pavillion dv6000 with Vista Home Premium 32bit, Core2Duo processor, 2GB Ram.

View 8 Replies View RelatedPut Old Files And Folders In New Windows Installation?
Sep 10, 2010ok I tried numerous ways of getting my previous instalation on a newly installed copy of win 7 x64 problem is, I can't see the recovery folder when I use the repair function when I use it under windows 7 ... an error log comes at the end of the process in which MOST of my files and settings are skipped here's what I tried:
-different admin users
-installing a second copy of windows on a different partition and trying to run the recovery with that installation, which didn't work because Windows 7 keeps labeling it's main partition as partition C ... so my main windows partition is labeled differently and the tool can't write the files to their initial paths
-tried a dos tool, copied all the files and folders myself to the normal paths, this didn't work because of errors I'm not an expert, but I get along with computers, now this has deffinetely proven very difficult for me
Corrupt Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Installation Files?
Nov 14, 2012So I have a weird situation.A friend of mine has somehow bricked her computer. She is not the most computer savvy person and I have no idea how her computer got to this point, but the computer no longer recognizes her original windows installation. There is no way to upgrade or repair from the original installation as it does not appear. Her computer will not boot except from the installation disk. Her drives are visible in the command prompt. The windows folders and whatever are all there. There is approximately 7 gigs of stuff on her drive, but when you go to select the partition on which to install win 7, it shows it as being 100% empty. I tried installing it on that one first, it got through copying and expanding, immediately after reaching 100% expanded, when it tries to start the next phase, it throws me a corrupt installation files error. It appears to be different each time. So i created and reformatted a new partition and attempted to install to that one and I'm having the same problem. The disk is a real win 7 pro x64 disk, it is in pristine condition and was opened only yesterday when i went to install the OS so i don't think the disk is the problem, however i'm downloading the Windows 7 iso from the microsoft website and am gonna give that a shot. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?Oh yes, and it doesn't seem to want to let me run the Chkdsk utility, it always tells me that i need to reboot and run it from the installation disk which is what i have been doing

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter Putting In New Optical / Computer Won't Start
Dec 9, 2012I know quite a bit about computers, and this is my custom build. I upgraded my mobo/cpu/ram in June, but my budget ran short of getting an optical which used SATA. yesterday was my birthday and I was able to purchase myself a new optical drive. The problem is. Last night I opened my case, put it in, power and data cables and then my computer won't boot correctly. This also happened when I first upgraded, but the problem isn't being solved this time. My keyboard only lights up when I flip the PSU power switch on the back. When I boot up I get no lights on my keyboard, my monitor light stays orange, all fans, etc turn on inside the case. I tried unplugging the new drive and starting it, with it's previous configuration, but that will not work. I have tried spamming the key to get into the BIOS, which is what worked in June when I was getting no video.

Oct 16, 2009I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate on my dell computer. When I was deleting partitions I noticed a Dell OEM partition. It was very small so I didn't delete this.
My thought was, if I ever wanted to sell this computer I would need to put Vista back on the computer and was afraid that my OEM disk would not work because I had deleted the partition.
I want to be able to put any computer back to the same state when purchased in order to avoid locking my Retail Version to one computer.
Does this little OEM partition have any bearing on the ability to revert the computer back to the original state?
If so, those of you putting retail might want to keep that partion available.

Dec 10, 2009So I just built my new computer and fired up my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit disc. The setup files load, the Windows logo video plays, the pretty blue screen with the flowers in the corner appears and my cursor has the rotating green circle indicating something is happening.
Then the circle stops spinning and disappears. At this point it appears the installation freezes. Pressing any keys or moving the mouse does nothing. I have to restart the computer. Same thing happens. Any off-the-bat suggestions before I start troubleshooting hardware?
My hard drives are in a RAID configuration per the M/B controller and a mirror volume has been created on the disk. I have one IDE DVD rom drive (the only part of the computer that's not brand new) and one additional HD audio card installed. The system is stable in the BIOS.

View 3 Replies View RelatedPutting System Disk In Removable Rack
Feb 22, 2011I got the idea of putting my c: drive with windows 7 into a removable rack. The idea was that I could put windows xp on a separate hard drive and swap between to two (machine powered down of course). The thought was that I'd have two independent computers in one box. I know I could dual boot, but like i said this was for grins. It almost worked. with the c: drive moved to the rack, win 7 booted up and ran just fine. i shut down, swapped drives and did an install of xp on the new disk. although it was assigned drive letter d:, it loaded and ran fine. So I shut down to swap back.
After putting the windows 7 drive back into the machine, windows wouldn't load. I got an error message saying that the windows/system 32/hal.dll file was corrupt or missing. I checked the drive, it wasn't missing, so...corrupt. Using the 7 dvd, i was able to do a startup repair and am back up and running. Is what I'm attempting possible? if so, how would I go about making sure that both os'es boot properly when the corresponding drive is in the rack?
Putting Win 7 Upgrade Version On New System Build
Nov 22, 2009I just got my computer up and running today. My next step is to install win 7 on it. So i got win 7 pro 64 bit through digital river with a sweet student discount and also a back up disc that came in the mail. I have noticed that it says upgrade on it though. I have been hearing and being told so many different things that i can not tell what is true.
Please only post an answer if you are certain it is correct
Thank you and with that being said here are my questions
Questions:
Could someone please explain to me what i am exactly supposed to do with the backup disc?
Can i use this on a new computer, ie one without any os on it already?
A friend referred me to this site. It sounds very confusing and i am not very tech savvy when it comes to things like this. Will i need to install it onto a different computer in order to do this boot-able upgrade? does the back up disc come into play? Could someone please explain the instructions in a very simplistic way.
