i have 2 windows 7 set up in c drive(7 ultimate) and in H drive(7 alienware). Due to space, I decided to use H drive all the way. Now i do not see the need to windows 7 and i wish to remove windows 7 in c. I also wish to merge the H and C drives to make the space bigger. C is primary drive an H is logical.

I have a 2 yr old HP Laptop that Came with Win 7 Home Premium.I have looked everywhere for bootable ISO disks, but they didn't work.the main problem is that I want to use Delphi 2.0 and other stuff that won't install on Win 7. I have created a partition/extended. The system, even with boot-disks, SEEMS not to allow it!Is there good info. technical or otherwise that will let me.
1. Install my old Win ME on a seperate partition?
2. I have a boot manager, so not a problem.
3. If I install ME, will it overwrite Win7, and can this be avoided?
4. Free is great, but if I MUST PAY, what's the best software for this?
I have experienced a very annoying problem with Windows 7: after each reboot, most of the files modified during the session revert to their original state. To put it plainly, folders and files that have been removed suddenly reappear, files and documents that have been changed revert to their original content, and so on.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEvery few minutes when I have an application or window up (doesn't matter which one), the window goes out of focus as if I clicked on the desktop. It's been going on for months and I've restarted my pc a lot of times since then, and force quitted many things from the task manager to narrow it down but I still don't know what's causing it. It's a real problem if I'm playing a game because it just switches to the desktop in the middle playing, without warning

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I downloaded a bunch of wallpapers to get a nice shuffle going on. Went into personalization and checked everything I wanted to get shown in the shuffle and saved it as its own theme.
The problem is that after I run programs (games, mostly - usually L4D, but just five minutes ago, Oblivion as well) the theme will have somehow switched to a new, unsaved and modified theme that is just fixed on whatever background I had up before running the program.
It's really just a minor annoyance, as I I just have to right click->personalize and select my saved theme again, but still - anyone know why it would be messing with my shuffle custom theme?
Mouse Hover Time - Change
I used the above tutorial to change the Mouse Hover Time in Windows 7. I changed it to 10000 ms via regedit, and restarted explorer. Soon after, it reverts to the normal Hover Time. It seems to revert randomly.
In regedit, the value is still the same.
At least once a week I have to go into settings and change it to Not Require a Password on Wakeup. For some reason this setting keeps getting randomly changed to require a password. I have experienced this on my desktop as well as my laptop. Both are new systems and both are running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWindows Update now says, "Restart your computer to install important updates." When I do, the computer shuts down, saying "Preparing to configure updates..." When it restarts, it says, "Configuring updates, 100% completed" then restarts again. Upon reaching the welcome screen this time, it says "Failed to configure updates, reverting changes...Welcome" and returns me to my desktop. At this point, when I try to manually check for new updates (or if I just leave Windows Update alone until it checks itself), Windows Update tells me "Restart your computer to install important updates," and the process loops again, so I cannot check for updates.

I have been into control panel and gone through the windows troubleshooting advice and it tells me that it has found and fixed problems with my Windows update and installed 9 updates. When I click to restart I get the same failure message at startup.It seems to recycle the startup procedure 3 times before it eventually gets to my desktop page, and when I look ar my update history there is a long list of failed installations.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI bought a pre-built desktop a little over a year ago. It cam with integrated graphics, an ATI Radeon 3000. I installed an HD 6670 shortly after. I now have a two monitor setup. I have my primary monitor hooked up to the 6670 and the secondary to the 3000. After updating CCC to 12.6 from 12.4 the second monitor isn't detected. I've been going to device manager and uninstalling the 3000 drivers, then restarting, and my secondary monitor is detected, drivers auto install, and both work. Unfortunately when I check CCC it's back to 12.4.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running Windows 7 Home Premium x64, trying to install service pack 1 thru windows update. First time I tried to install along with some other updates and it failed to download. Second time I downloaded on its own and it installed fine. Computer then restarted and displayed 'Failure configuring service pack. Reverting Changes'. Now it keeps restarting and doing the same thing over. I can't access my computer while this is happening.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSuppose for a minute that you've used windows update and now it has the little shield over Shut Down, indicating that when it shuts down it will install updates. Now suppose when it tries to shut down it cannot install the update and stalls on "Reverting changes". Suppose you are lucky enough to be able to manually restart your computer and everything is fine, but the little shield is still over shut down. Is there a way to remove the updates you have installed before shutting down?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to windows 7 over vista the other day and I just noticed a problem. I have the Intel Turbo Memory Readyboost and it used to work perfectly with Vista, but I just opened the window where you enable/disable it, and it said it was disabled, so i enabled it and it asked me to restart my computer so I did, and when I restarted I went back just to make sure it was enabled and it is still disabled. I tried it again and same thing happened... anyone know why or how to fix it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using dual monitors in windows 7 for at least a year or more. For a long time I had it set up with monitor two over monitor one, but now I have altered the physical layout to side by side and want the monitors to reflect this. I have changed it to being side by side in the appropriate windows settings location and in the NVIDIA control panel both, yet when I open a new program (whether it is a game, browser, or media player) it changes back to the old over/under set up. Is there some way I could lock it to the side by side?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI will try my best to describe my issue without making it very complicating.1. My computer had 3 partitions - A, B and C.C: is where the Windows 8 was installled B: is where I tried to install another windows for testing purposes - Windows 7 Professional In the installation process my computer restarted and gave me an error - Bootmgr compressed. To resolve this error, I tried infinite times to get into my computer via BIOS, Bootable various USBs - Pirated Windows, Original Windows etc etc etc! (I don't have a DVD/CD drive in this computer).After many attempts trying to get into my PC I simply couldn't because of via the bootable USB - Windows 7 Professional, It keeps on getting stuck at the page "Drivers Missing for Installation" - So, I clicked on the "Repair my Computer" and went to Command prompt. Is there anyway I can get all the partitions showing again and do you think I have eased all the data?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a hard drive I want to backup to a 64gb flash drive and then restore it to another different hard drive than where it came from. I have windows 7 and office on my laptop and I want it on my desktop pc. There isn't close to 64gb of info on my laptop so it should be fine even though the hard drive says I have 160gb. It is all free space except for those programs.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a USB external hard drive that I keep all my documents etc on (had it for years)I upgraded from Vista Home to & Home Premium then had to upgrade recently to Professional to run my Sage. Through all these upgrades my ext. drive ran fine. Occasionally the drvie letter would change if I had something else plugged into the USB, this was always easily corected in disk management by changing the drive path.The connection on the case packed up so I had to get the drive put into a new case, now when I plug it in the drive is assigned G instead of F, I tried to change the drive letter allocation in Disk Management but it won't let me as the program still thinks I have a second ext. hard drive which is labelled F. I suspect this has happened because when the usb connection broke the drive was disconnected suddenly instead of a proper eject.How do I get Disk Management to remove the inactive drive - i can't find any obvious way - eject, delete etc are all missing when I click on tools or tasks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu on my computer a few months ago and created another partition for it on my 1TB hard drive. I didn't really care for Ubuntu so I decided to delete the partition it was on. That might have been a mistake. Well, now there's 87.68GB of free space on my hard disk that I can't use and I don't know how to add it back to my c: partition.
There was another post about this a couple years ago, but I don't understand the instructions and am not actually sure if it worked. Can someone explain how to do this, please? I'm not completely computer illiterate, but I'm not familiar with partitioning disks. It was just the one time with Ubuntu.
I have Win 7 home premium on an HP laptop with 4 usb ports. I have 2 Western Digital Elements 1.5 TB drives for backups. If I plug in one of the drives, Win assigns a drive letter, but if I add the second one it doesn't.
To troubleshoot, I've plugged each drive into every usb port on the laptop, and each port reads each drive alone, but if I plug in the second drive while the first is still in, it shoes up in devices but does not get a drive letter. I tried assigning a different drive letter to the device plugged in first, but Win still doesn't assign a letter to the second drive.

View 8 Replies View RelatedBackground: I have a WinXP desktop machine with a hard drive that may have a virus/trojan/rootkit/etc. Normal scans on the WinXP machine with MSE or ThreatFire have not discovered the problem. But the best way to scan a drive is to remove it and treat it as a purely 'dummy' data drive plugged into a usb drive dock and run the scan from a clean machine. This way any infected programs and/or O.S. on the drive will have no control to mask or hide themselves. My other computer is an HP Windows 7 laptop. So I removed the hard drive from the WinXP machine and via the USB drive dock and the Windows 7 laptop saw the WinXP drive icon appear. However, double-clicking that icon results in the popup window message[CODE]
