So I have 2 hard drives Installed on my computer and for some reason when i go into My Computer in Vista only one shows up. When I go to device manager though I can see both of them. What is going on and why can't I access the second HD.
I had Vista..I fdisked my HD cause vista sucks,went through the process,reformated c: drive,restarted PC with WinXP then 10 minites into the install the PC froze.I have reformated the HD again over and over..Gave up on XP,Re-formated tried to...
helloi have an Intel 946GZ Express motherboard.I have LOTS of problems installing ANY kind of hardware (digital camera, SATA HD, simple stupid printer, EVEN DISK ON KEY!). so i conclude now into my possible problem: vista doesnt recognize my...
I've tried a couple of times to defrag my hd, but I'm not sure if anything is happening. Since there is no progress bar or anything that might give the user some indication that something is actually being done, I really don't know what if anything...
Hi beside the fact it is very annoying sometimes my hard drive just grinding away for no reason. i did a gwscan on the Hd no errors found should i be curious abut this? is this happening to any oneelse? i have windows vista home premium...
I was calculating how much hard drive space I had and found.
Everything under "add and remove programs" except windows update, Roxio and Bluetooth software
Add & remove programs added up to - 1.01GB
Roxio and Bluetooth probably use- 2GB (I'm guessing because windows didn't specify)
Windows update- 4GB (I'm guessing again because windows didn't specify)
Documents- 1.12GB
P2P program- 7.583GB
P2P Downloads in Progress- 17GB (when completed)
Music- 415MB
Pictures- 2MB
Desktop- 202MB
Total=39.72GB
My total Hard drive=80GB
I need to do a clean install of Vista, My HD broke and i had to get a new one, So im here now requesting help from my laptop!
I read somewhere i cant use my OEM code again, And i DO NOT want to buy another copy and dont want to install XP!
I read somewhere i can call someone to get a new key but im asuming that people were talking about USA and not the UK.
ALSO on another note, My laptop has Vista on it and i needed to do a restore and after that restore all programs installed on my laptop dont show up in the "Remove Programs" area, How can i fix that? Th
Hi all,Just wanted to bash this one around here before I resort desperate measures.A few weeks back I decided to install a Vista codec pac that would allow me to play HD amongst others. I then found that whenever I opened a folder containing a...
Don't ask... but I've managed to compress the partition of my HD with my Vista install on (by checking the little box on the HD properties in Vista). So now whenever I try and boot up I get an error message saying
"BOOTMGR Compressed, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
I've already tried the stuff a google search brings up ie:
Win Vista DVD > Command Prompt>
C:
expand bootmgr temp
attrib bootmgr -s -r -h
del bootmgr
ren temp bootmgr
attrib bootmgr -a +s +r +h
But I still get the error after i've done that. I've tried doing that for every archived file in the C: root directory and that still doesn't help. I've downloaded Hirens Boot CD and tried a load of tools on there (including zeroing my MBR and then getting windows vista to fix it with its auto-repair feature) and i still get the same message!
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to install Windows Vista Ultimate, i've had zero luck with that today. I've formatted my hd, ive removed some ram, tried a different dvd-rom and still no luck. Everytime the computer loads up and is looking for bootable devices it finds the Vista dvd, it does not even ask me to press a button to boot from dvd, it just jumps to a screen saying:
"the file is possibly corrupted. the file header checksum does not match the computed checksum"
My computer specs are the following:
LG DVD-ROM
P4 3.00ghz Hyperthreading
1gb ddr pc-3200
