• Unistalling windows vista on a secondary hard drive.

  I recently built a new PC with a SSD as main OS drive and Windows 7 as my new main operating system.  As long as my secondary HARD drive, I used an old HDD that has a version of Vista as well as all my old files.  I'm hoping to keep all my old files on this disk and delete Vista to free up space on this drive.  I have also other programs (software Zune. ect on the drive, I guess I will need to download a new version for Win7.)  Should I uninstall that as well and download a new version?

  Any advice you may have for me are appreciated... Thank you!

• Windows 7 loses the secondary hard drive

  This has been a problem, I don't know why I waited this long to ask about it.

  My secondary hard drive keep endangered of Windows 7, as if someone unplugged spontaneously, except that it's still there.

  This problem can be resolved by restarting just the computer, and it can remain correct for a few minutes, a few hoursor a few days, but it still exists, usually several times a week.

  I checked all connections and even swapped the cables. There is nothing wrong with the drive itself, I can put it in another computer without this problem occurring. I also tried to move to an another empty SATA connection on the motherboard without success.

  I do not use the drive on a regular basis and bought only so that the steam and the game files that are, (and now the original since I finally broke down and got Mass Effect 3 despite efforts to avoid EA "me too!" steam clone.) were not cluttering up my main hard drive.

  But when I decide to take a load off and play games, I like for the reader to be there without needing a reboot, it can so be a little frustrating because it's usually when I am stressed already :)

  Thanks in advance for any help offered.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  Disks RAID configured hard two?

  Internal hard disks connect to the motherboard of your computer using an IDE or SATA interface interface. Most new hard drives come with an IDE or SATA connection cable, depending on the type of drive.

  Install an internal hard disk takes a bit more work, especially if you plan to make the new disk your primary hard disk where you install Windows. Drive hard internal jumpers that you set to configure the main hard drive (master) disk where you install Windows or a secondary (slave) drive where you store programs and files. For the diagnosis of your problem, I suggest trying the following methods and check if the number is reproduced.

  Method 1:

  Check if you are able to view the second hard disk (HDD) in Device Manager. If so, try to change drive letter assignments in Windows 7. See the following steps:

  (a) connect to the computer as an administrator.

  (b) click Start, right-click computerand then click Manage.

  (c) click on disk management.

  (d) right click on the volume of the secondary HDD that you want to change and then click change drive letter and paths.

  (e) double click on the secondary drive, click change, click the drive letter that you want to use and then click OK.

  Additional information:
  Change, add, or remove a drive letter
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter

  If method 1 does not resolve the problem, go to method 2.

  Method 2:

  I suggest you try to check the secondary hard drive to find errors.

  Consult the following link:

  Check your hard drive to find errors in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2641432/en-us

  Warning: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  If method 2 does not work, go to method 3.

  Method 3:

  Try to run a scan of the file system (CFS) auditor to check any file corruption:

  1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
  2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, click OK, or alternatively click on Yes.
  3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

• How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

  How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
  Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

  How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

  Any correction, automated for this?

  Thank you.

  It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

  Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

• I can't start windows with my corrupted hard drive

  I bought a new hard drive to add extra space since my first hard disk is only 60 GB.  I bought a Samsung HD161HJ with 160 GB.  As well my original and new hard drive is SATA hard drives.  I hooked it up and everything worked well for about a week.  Then, I woke up to find a message saying that my Samsung HD player has been altered and I had to restart my computer.

  When I restarted the computer, the windows loading screen came on but then the black screen and nothing would happen.  I've decided to disable my SATA slot for the new disc corrupted in the system configuration, and then when I booted up everything was back to normal.  However, I want to have two drives connected and be able to boot windows to use special software for corrupted hard disks and try and solve the problem.  But every time I turn on the SATA slot for my new hard drive windows does not start.

  I know that the SATA drives need riders to determine the master and the slave.  So what is the cause of problems with me start windows with a secondary corrupt drive?  My main drive includes all the data necessary to start. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  If you can try to borrow a disk since you only intend to test and should install with no internet connection
  access. And since its XP, you can use your own product Code.

  You had set them up properly when they were working. Something has happened since then, such
  like a drive failure.

  I hope this helps.

• Secondary hard drive receives the drive letter assigned to the start-up

  I have recently formatted my secondary hard drive, which had been sitting in my empty PC and do nothing for a while, to function as a music folder. The problem I have is that every time you start that I have to manually assign the drive letter, Windows does not automatically. I tried to reformat the hard disk, but it does not solve the problem. In addition, by train to perform a bugcheck gives an error indicating the check cannot be completed. Personally, I have no idea how to solve this problem, and I have not found anyone with the same issue.

  Hi Revolvist,

  There is a possibility that the second hard disk is defective or damaged.

  If the second hard disk is a separate hard drive, I suggest you disconnect the drive from the computer (if possible) and connect to another computer and check if the problem persists.

• Can I format my secondary hard drive on another PC?

  I understand that you format a secondary hard drive before using this, but what happens if I format it in another computer and place it in another computer? I basically want to just send my files on the secondary hard drive then put the hard drive in another computer and transfer the files on the primary. Should it be formatted when installed in another computer, every time and will it be ok if I just send my files to real vivid primary in another computer? Thank you

  Format on a computer and you can use it in all that are supported by the type of file system.  Use NTFS for windows computers.

• Secondary hard drive for M58e

  I really like the Lenovo computers, the M58e that I just bought (two, actually) doesn't have a provision for adding a secondary hard drive. The hardware Maintenance Manual shows a cage on the bottom of the case, but that is not. The manual, as far as I could tell, has failed a number of similar cage.

  It is hard to believe that Lenovo would be a tower that does not have the ability to easily add a second hard drive. What is the solution? Drill holes in the bottom of the case? Incredible.

  Support is provided with certain models, but not others. This is really unfortunate. I drilled four holes in the bottom of the case and the bottom mounted drive, very near where it would have been if the support was present.

• Windows 7 computer portable HARD drive connected to a professional XP S3

  Windows 7 computer portable HARD drive connected via USB to a desktop XP Professional SP3 PC.

  PC shows the folders, I have access to the folder of Photos, but cannot access the Documents folder where files I need. I tried to share the folder, but it does not work.

  Any suggestions please?

  Probably, this can be corrected by taking possession of these files / directories.  Once you do this, however, you will find probably your permissions in disarray try to re - install the drive in your computer to Windows 7...

  You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
  you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a
  clean install. A new installation by formatting the
  drive and does not care what version of Windows is installed (or
