  • Windows 7 will not install on my hard drive SATA III, even if the installer and menu of the BIOS are localization.

    The controller is enabled for all SATA connectors and the drive is one of the SATA 3.0 Gbit/s ports, I've heard is a way to get through. However, it did not, either. Can anyone help?

    Here is what I am dealing with, set up a few hours ago:
    -Intel DH77KC card
    -Intel Core i7 - 2600K 3.4 Ghz processor
    -Disk hard Western Digital 1 TB black
    -Corsair Vengeance 16 GB of Ram
    -Corsair TX650 80Bronze
    -Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    It starts, and then Windows 7 gets no more than it will not be installed on the hard disk. I can't make a new partition, either, nor can I format the drive in the window. The BIOS settings do not exactly help because I'm not using RAID and FDI does not do.
    Maybe there's something wrong.

    Try to remove 3 branches if theyre 4 GB each. See if it installs. If so, put the 3 branches after windows has been installed

    This BIOS is on it at the mo?

  • Windows 7 hard drive stolen when idle and during programs execution system

    I can hear my hard drive C beating away when my system is idle, and even though my system is running programs.

    Think it might be Firefox that uses the hard drive much - checked, uses the hd a little, but not more than usual, but I can still hear the hard drive clicking suite. So I close Firefox. Still ongoing.

    Tried to switch browsers Chrome, and even has a lot more use of the disk by cycle Firefox did. But no matter whether Chrome is open or not, I can still hear the beating of hard drive.

    Tried to use IE as my main browser, still no luck.

    I checked on the Windows Task Manager, but no 1 process shows a lot of the use of the disc. I tried then to resource monitor and 'System' appears at the top of the list of processes sorted by use of the disk. But there are a lot of sub-thingos (forgive my ignorance of jargon) ongoing enforcement under 'System', while originally the beating of disc?

    I disabled the process that has been suggested on the forums, without any change in the use of Windows Media network share drive.

    Then I saw a thread in which someone talked about disabling Marvell / RAID drivers remains other manufacturers (where the system has no installed RAID array) slow down its use of the disk.

    I have no RAID array on my PC either and noticed a Marvell driver under the heading 'System' using SysInternals Process Explorer.

    I also noticed that some other drivers stray, maybe one of them is originally the use of disk problem?

    It is terribly random - will start and continue for 30 to 40 minutes and then stop for hours, then start again.

    I don't think it's a virus, as I have Avast! and can use the shield of file to control what files Avast! analysis - strangely, although I hear the hard drive in use, Avast! does not pick up/scan all files that the disc is supposed to be using.

    Here are the various screenshots that I downloaded in the hope that someone can help me solve this problem of disk hard until it wears out and dies a lonely premature death: P - thanks

    I downloaded SysInternals Process Monitor of

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

    But the program is much more complex than Process Explorer and I have no idea how to use it.

    Can someone tell me please how to run a trace through the events that may help determine which of the processes analyzed in running process monitor is / are the ones that are causing high disk usage?

    An analysis more

    Restarted in safe mode (without network) and entered the resource (part of Windows 7) monitor and SysInternals Process Explorer (in Microsoft TechNet) to see if I could pinpoint the problem.

    All the time, I was in safe mode, the hard drive kept in fly! : O

    I started first of all resource monitor and saw that the 'system' with the PID of 4 remained the more intensive process of disk. Using the disc went from 100 KB/s to 1 MB/s as before when you are connected to Windows 7 normally.

    I also saw

    svschost (netsvcs),

    Svchost (secsvcs)

    Svchost (dcomlaunch)

    and like other processes

    wmiadap.exe

    wmiprvsv.exe appear. 2 wmi processes disappeared after a short while leaving svchost and remaining 'System '.

    I closed the resource monitor shot to the top of Process Explorer and found some weird-looking process:

    Under wmiprvsv.exe, there was a file called locale.nls, with no manufacturer name/description (unlike some other services/sys files having a "Microsoft Corporation" as their name)

    Under each of the svchost.exe process, out of all the files that have name descriptors (Microsoft Corporation), there was a little without name descriptors that caught my attention:

    A file that found in Windows/Globalization/Sorting/Sortdefault.nls

    A file called locale.nls (sorry don't remember the location of the file)

    A file that found in Windows/Registration/R00000000000.clb

    A file that found in Windows/System32/C_28591.nls

    All the files above with the exception of the R000000.clb one found in svchost, lsass and csrss.

    The R00000.clb file was found only in svchost.

    I noticed these files because they had no name description next to them - could all of the files I mentioned contribute to the problem of the use of disc?

    Hard drive stolen continues even after I Logout

    I have my own PC and use an administrator account (not the default "Administrator" account, but my own account with administrator privileges).

    I tried logging my regular account and another account limited, I have on the PC. Not only the disk thrashing hardcontinue while I was connected and on the screen of welcome,but he continued even after I had connected to the limited account.

  • Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    A message on the RAID 0 volume failed is a recognizable error message, but the news is not good.

    RAID, by its nature, requires 2 or more drives.  RAID = redundant Bay of independent (or inexpensive) disks

    RAID 0 is the worst of the different RAID choices.  It increases the performance of hard disk by spreading or striping, data on two disks so that he can read and write more quickly. Unfortunately, such a picture offers no protection of data - in fact, it increases the chances of loss of data since the failure of a disk in the array results in the loss of all data on both drives. RAID 0 configurations are standard on high-end and PCs graphics games and provide a performance gain measurable, albeit modest for games, graphics applications and other programs intense from the hard drive.

    In view of the foregoing, the best course of action for you and your parents is to take the computer to a local computer professional - not a type of place BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad.

    Both say the same thing - 120 GB of free space. 128 886, 263, 552 bytes is 120 GB and 128 GB not

    All hard drive manufacturers qualify 1 GB 1,000,000,000 bytes, while the rest of the computer, including the windows world, defines it as the 2 to the 30th power bytes (1 073 741 824). So, for example, a disk of 320 billion bytes is actually around 300 GB.

    Of some note as the official international standard
    sets the 'G' of GB as 1 billion, not 1 073 741 824. OK, even though they were, using the binary value of GB is so well-established in the world of computing that I consider be misleading on the part of the manufacturer of marketing using the decimal value of 1 billion.

  • do not display menu when the program is not running

    Hi, I did with an XControl I can start the program with a start button.
    I deselected the toolbar, Run and Abort button when runnning and the program runs with only a custom Menu, just like I want.
    When the program stops the menu and the toolbar is visible (as usual). My question is - can you choose not to show the menu and the toolbar when the program does NOT work?

    During execution of the edit mode, it seems reasonable to return to editing mode later.

    Once the program is distributed to end users, edit mode is meaningless. Built in a standalone application or at least to define its 'open operation' and close once. The program should never be in a stopped state. Create a state machine passing the State idle when it's not what anyone.
