• Windows could not start... I need the disk installation?

  Hi, so I recently uninstalled Windows 7 by accident... And I tried to make it work, but it won't, so I need the disk. I contacted microsoft asking if I can get another disc or something. And they said to go to m6mobile.fr. So I went on it, got the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool, I got the ISO file on my USB key. And now I have everything. So I took out the laptop I did all the stuff on, I then went to the computer to install Windows 7. And it still does not work! I plugged the USB with the ISO file and then restarted, and it still doesn't work? Can someone help me? I stayed until 02:00 am trying to solve this problem!

  Thank you! Here's what the problem...

  What is your computer brand and model?

• When you try to create the simple volume, I get "There is not enough available space on the disks to complete this operation." Even when there is obviously a lot of space.

  I just installed Windows 7 Professional in the last hour and was not able to create this partition during the installation.  Now that I'm in disk management.  It's showing I 73,24 GB of free space.  What I'm trying to do in the end, is to combine this with a partition already created.  One thing I find strange is anytime I go into "new simple volume" it tells me that the maximum space in MB is 74997 when the free space on the graph shows me only 73,24 GB.  I tried to create the size of the volume to 73000 MB and have also tried 10000MB and get to every time the same mistake!  "There is not enough available space on the disks to complete this operation."  What can I do to fix this?

  Your best bet is a third party partition manager.

  With the tools of Windows 7, you can only shrink and extend partitions, apart from the creation and deletion of them.

  Disk manufacturers quote their sizes of disc in decimal format. Windows Go are 2 ^ 10 or 1024 decimal MB. Then 74997/1024 is 73,24 GB.

• I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp.

  I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp. Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?  I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.

  Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?

  Yes.

  You use the disk cloning software.  In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.

  Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure.  As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.

  You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products

  The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need.  For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.

  If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):

• Error: There is not enough available space on the disks to complete this operation

  I bought this computer vista renovated a few years back and the hard drive has always partitioned off with nothing to my knowledge on this subject. I want to thank my C: drive now to actually get use out of vacant space, but after running through the procedure of online sites, I got me stuck.

  Now that the partition is marked as unallocated space, but it will not merge with the C: drive. The following error occurs.

  Any amount of mbs, I put in trying to extend the C: drive, it will not work. Help would be greatly appreciated.

  Many recommend expressly latest version of Acronis Disk Director.

  If you use something else, good chance to say bye bye to this installation of Windows.

  You can also use GParted (it's free), but it is perhaps too difficult to use, since you need to boot on it.

• 2 copies of Vista on drive D and now out of space on the disk, cannot be restored due to lack of space. Also cannot move the score temporarily.

  Had problems with internet explore starting and thought re install vista qould fix, but instead of the oldest copy it for a second and filled all the space in d car so impossible to restore or remove.   In disk management, I can't expand the partition and shrink when the C drive it does nothing for the D drive.

  Suggestions?

  You can save all of the updates in the Windows directory (... $NTUninstall directories) and then delete them to free up space and you can also save the Windows\inf directory, then delete it.  Also start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup should help.

• Need the command line to restore the system to the Task Scheduler in Windows 7

  For the record, I found the answer myself. It is within an article that lists as scheduled tasks in Vista. The KB is:

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• Full encryption of the disk for Vista software

  I work for an agency of starting to require the use of the full encryption of the disk (CDSE) software. My laptop is currently using Windows Vista. How can I acquire and load a compatible FDES?

  John

  If you have the business version of vista (or its equivalent), it comes with a full disk encryption application called bit locker.

  "versions of Windows Vista enterprise-class also come with complete the BitLocker disk encryption (Note: BitLocker is available in versions of Windows Vista for Microsoft Software Assurance customers)." Like commercial software, BitLocker provides protection against the "oops" factor - lost or stolen systems. Windows Vista also supports encrypted file system, which offers additional guarantees against the internal threats that are more likely to result in a violation of real data, not just data disclosure-based regulation.
