Jan 1, 2012Laptop mobo fried, need to extract image from the HD to reimage to PC's HD then adapt it using Paragon Adaptive Restore so it will start on different hardware.Have ordered this cable converter set: Amazon.com: SATA/PATA/IDE Drive to USB 2.0 Adapter Converter Cable for 2.5 / 3.5 Inch Hard Drive / Optical Drive with External AC Power Adapter.What I am not sure of is if I will be able to capture an image using Acronis when laptop HD is plugged in via USB using converter above. Wonder if I should have ordered converter to IDE although I will be doing this via remote with a user who's nervous about opening case.If I can capture the image and it will reimage onto PC HD, then I have the PAR disk to adapt it to new hardware.

Nov 9, 2011The other day my computer was infected with "FakeSysDef" virus. "Microsoft Safety Scanner" detected it, and cleaned it(MS Security essentials and MS Malicious Program Removal Tool both failed though). I didn't realize that a browser hijack/redirector was left behind, so in the middle of the night another virus named "Privacy Protection" installed itself. Malwarebytes cleaned that one up. But the hijacker was still there. "Spybot" Hijack tool fixed that.Now my computer is clean and useable, but it's a buggy mess. Alot of things don't work right anymore.
*My "all programs" list in control panel is blank(programs are still installed though).
*I can't get a desktop background picture to stay.
*Some installed programs aren't listed in the "programs&features" list, so I don't know how to delete them.
*Other programs like Bing won't delete because it says they are running(but they're not).
*Some of my picture and music folders are locked, but I can get into them through shortcuts from other parts of the computer.
Error: No Such Partition Grub Rescue
Feb 9, 2011I just uninstalled ubuntu 10.10 and it worked fine but now when i rebooted I get an error saying:error: no such partition grub rescue>
I know that you can fix this by using a windows 7 disk and booting from that but i don't have my windows 7 disk because it came on my computer.Is there any way I can fix this error without a windows 7 disk?
Trying To Rescue Data But Getting System Restored
May 28, 2011My laptop died but the HDD was okay. I've taken the laptop HDD out, bought an USB/caddy for it and attached it to another laptop as an external drive.The trouble is the new machine sees the external drive, but all its seeing is system reserved and the reserved part of the HDD is tiny. So its not the total drive size and defintley not the data I need to rescue. How would I see the whole drive and access the data?

Aug 4, 2011I know this isn't really where this should go, but I don't know where else it should go.
I have a hard drive that needs a firmware update. The update is an exe that has to be run from a dos environment running from a cd. how do I make a cd that can do this? I have tons of stuff, but the only cds that will boot don't have the exe, and modifying any dos boot image to add the exe makes it unbootable. I really need to do this, because the hard drive is useless without it. vockleya has chosen the best answer to his/her question.Click here to view the answer that was selected.

Make Windows 7 Boot Faster On I7 Rig?
Mar 25, 2012i did a little researching last night to find out how to make my os boot faster, right now its a solid 40 seconds from pressing the on button to usable desktop. my rig is an i7 960, x58 gaming series with 12 gb of ram. followed a few guides on Internet that didn't make much of a difference that included setting the number of cores to 4 and max memory on the msconfig window. this rig came with a 64gb solid state which had the os on it, boot up was about a 1/3 faster and shut down took less than 5 seconds compared to now at about 12. i opted to sell it due to its immensely small size and stuck with the 1tb hdd which i then loaded win7 on myself.
any other tweaks you can recommend to get this rig to boot up quickly and shut down faster? there are tons of apps in the services start up that i really don't know what to do with and dont want to toggle them off, startup only has 5 required things that need to be active when booting up. outside of that, not sure what else i can do or if this is the limits of what win7 + my rigs specs can achieve. 40 second boot up seems slow on my 1tb hdd.

Mar 19, 2011is it possible to make a Windows 7 boot disc from scratch? By scratch I mean, I want all the programs I currently have installed on my PC and some items in my secondary drives to be there too, in other words, can I take my current Windows AND the programs/items I have on my drives, and put them together as one installation, so that when I format my computer and reinstall Windows, my basic programs, like Photoshop, After Effects, etc, are still there, so there is no worry about downloading it? That's my main point, I have to install Windows 7 and the programs I have in like 30 computers, it would take forever if I ALSO have to download programs like Photoshop, I don't have the best internet in town anyways.

Make Dual OS Boot Drive Active?
May 31, 2012I have several HDD and one SSD. The SSD was my boot "C" drive and single win 7 OS. The SSD failed so I installed Win 7 on one of the back-up HDD. The install made that drive "C". I replaced the SSD and installed WIn 7 as a second OS on the SSD and it became drive "B". I can boot to either OS install on start-up but regardless of which install I boot with, drive "C" becomes the active system drive, even though the desktops are different (as they shoujld be for the two OS installs). SO, even if I boot from the SSD "B" drive, in windows disk manamgent it indicates that "C" is the "system" and "active" drive while it will indicate that "B" is the "boot" drive.
I want to format drive C so I can change its drive letter and reinstall Win 7 as a single OS to the SSD and make it drive "C", but windows will not let me change drive letters or format the current HDD labeled as "C" - obviously because it considers it the active sytem drive even when I've booted from the "B" SSD.

I launched startup repair and it says that it cannot fix the problems automatically. I can hookup the hard drive as a secondary hard drive and access all of the files on it but I cannot make it primary it just wont boot.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUpdates And Drivers Make Windows Crash On Boot-up
May 8, 2012I have windows 7 installed on a PC I built a little over a year ago. I recently upgraded to the windows 8 consumer preview, but I didn't like it so I'm trying to switch back. When I install windows it works fine, I can turn my computer off and on as many times as I want and it will be fine, but if I install any video card drivers or any of the updates that windows tells me to install, the next time it boots up I either get the windows splash screen or a black screen right after it says, "welcome to windows", or whatever it says. I have tried installing only my video card driver, I have tried installing only one of the recommended updates, but no matter what I install it doesn't work the next time it boots, so this isn't a problem with one specific driver.The only thing I have changed since I had windows 7 installed before is that I got a new SSD, but I'm still using my old drive as well. I have tried installing on the SSD while the other drive is unplugged and I have tried to install windows on my original HD while my solid state drive is unplugged. I have tried installing on both, nothing works. I have formatted both several times. I have also tried installing both 32 and 64 bit versions, both to the same effect.

Jan 16, 2011I am thinking about dual-booting my system with Windows 7 as the main OS, and linux ubuntu as a secondary. I have a few questions:
1. How much space should I leave for ubuntu's partition?
2. How do I make a swap partition (or whatever it is called, for swapping files between OS's)?
3. Can I set it up to automatically boot into windows unless I am holding down a specific key, or something similar?
BTW, my HDD is ~500gb, but my current (factory) windows partition is 450gb.
Existing Windows 7 - Adding XP On VHD (external) To Make "dual Boot"?
Oct 12, 2012A while ago I was using Windows XP Pro on my laptop. I was then forced to switch completely to Windows 7, but because I had so many application and configurations done on the XP, I created a VHD from it (using this) before replacing it. Now, I want to know if its possible to set that VHD beside my current OS as dual boot.I searched and found solutions, but those are either to add a new VHD (Windows 8 mostly) to the dual boot, or loading VHD in virtual machines.Also, if it is possible, can I copy the VHD on my external HDD and load it every time from there?The whole idea is because my laptop is not so powerful and it wouldn't handle VMs very well. Because of the same reason, XP Mode is not an option.Normal dual boot also is not preferred for two reasons:
1. I want my configurations which are already set on the VHD,
2. My laptop's HDD is only 150GB which does not have too much capacity left already. I can spare like 20-30GBs for XP, but I really cannot deal with the dual booting mess now! I will rarely use the XP for specific tasks, so VHD would be much easier if I will have the option.
Installed SSD. Move "System Reserved" To SSD And Make SSD Boot?
Jan 4, 2012I recently installed a SSD into my setup. I didn't have a Windows 7 64bit disk, so I booted into the HDD's OS and installed via .iso (I didn't want to burn it, as that always seems to fail.I wanted to get the System Restore partition installed on the SSD, so I tried booting to a Win 32bit disk and formatting the drive that way. Problem is, the System Restore is not recognized as such, and was visible so I ended up deleting it
that works fine, except I now have this:
Disk0: Hard drive
Disk1: SSD
Disk2: Irrelevant
1. Can I move the System Restore Partition to the SSD?
2. How can I make this boot off of the SSD? It currently boots off of the System restore on the HDD
3. The drive letters are screwed up, but whenever I try to change the SSD's drive letter it says "the parameter is incorrect", no matter which drive letter I choose.
