Partition drive 4 TB with Win 7 32 bit

I'm running Win 7 ultimate 32 bit and just bought a 4 TB WD drive. I thought I would replace my 2 TB OS disk and programs with it, but not sure it's possible. If this is not the case, can I partition this drive to use for storage?

Thanks for your support,

Chas

Unfortunately the motherboard does not support UEFI so I'm stuck with a very expensive storage disk. I really don't want to reinstall win7 again, too many programs to reinstall and all are 32-bit versions. As far as Win7 being located on the N partition on my second drive, he has worked yet since I started Win 7. I've only used EasyBCD to get rid of the menu opening which gave me a choice between the loading of Windows 7 or Vista. This menu was created when I installed Win 7 and kept Vista. Is there something on C that starts Windows, even if it is on another drive?

Thanks again for you patience and support

There are, I think, 3 considerations here. First of all, because you had a dual boot situation you now have a Boot Manager file that tells the computer where a BONE you might want to start. If you are running Vista on C: drive when you created the dual boot situation then this file of Boot Manager will reside on the C: drive. The second operating system can be anywhere else, but the computer will look for the file on C: Boot Manager to tell him where the OS boot. Windows 7 retains its own version of the Boot Manager in a different location. If you remove or clean the C:\ drive, the computer will not be able to find the two BONES. To get a transition smoothly to the boot manager will have to be moved to the new drive before replacing the hard disk C:. Apparently the EasyBCD software that you were using has the ability to do it for you. https://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/EasyBCD/basics/changing-the-boot-partition/

The second consideration is that your computer's BIOS supports booting from a hard drive other than C: Physics and the third consideration is if the BIOS of your computer is able to read the data on a GPT partitioned the disk before Windows 7/8.x is actually being run.

If the method used on the first link does not work for you this link has some suggestions to fix the startup problem. I do not recommend you buy any software, try the DIY methods they describe.

  • I can't connect Photoshop Elements 10 for canoscan lide 110 with win 7(64 bit) driver

    Hello I recently bought Photoshop Elements 10, so that I can have the Photoshop Elements program compatible with win 7(64 bit)

    I installed Photoshop Elements 10 (Spanish edition) and apart from the scanner seems to question, it works well. But when I had searched and found a win 7 (64-bit) driver scanner STILL does well with Photoshop elements 10. Sound so much, that I've got an old pc from xp win with Photoshop Elements 5 and it works perfectly, but I bought a second and more recent laptop with win 7 Home Premium (64-bit), when I install the driver, windows shows, that its been installed correctly, but when I want to open driver (scanner) in Photoshop elements 10 y NO LINK TO OPEN IT!

    Please see the 2 attachments, where you can see, there is a link in Photoshop elements 5, but WITHOUT LINK in Photoshop elements 10. What is the problem, I really do not know? In both cases, I installed ONLY scanning-gear not a pilot program called Navigator canon, and I don't want that and don't think its necessary. When working in the old 5 elements with scan-gear driver only, it must be the same in 10 things I guess. Someone has a bright idea, and can you help me? I would be very grateful.

    Can RKS Fax v. 1.2 be updated to work with Win 7 (64 bit)? I used fax RKS v. 1.2 for several years with VISTA and it very well. However, I moved up to Win 7 Pro(64bit) and it doesn't seem to work with my RKS fax. A usable upgrade is available or Win Fax and Scan my best bet? This doesn't seem to work, but I liked the features of RKS fax better.

    Hi again,

    How will I know if my old Qosmio G30-198 is compatible with win 7 64 bit? I think that there are some not compatible microprocessors.

    Thank you

    Post edited by: SuperAnton10

    Hello

    As I m not wrong, G30-198 supports the Intel® Core 2 Duo T7200 processor

    According to the Intel page http://ark.intel.com/products/27255/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T7200 this processor supports 64-bit architecture
    So you shouldn't have trouble to install a 64-bit system

  • Re: NB550D with win 7 64 bit

    I recently bought a NB550D with c-50.

    There are several discussions around the internet and here about the upgrades. It seems that the 2 are the main challenges or desired things to do with this laptop with equal challenges.
    1 put level memory to 4 GB
    2 install win 7 64 bit.

    I decided to embark on the two, so here I will try to summarize what I have done or have been done to help others who would like to do a similar thing:

    1 memory

    In summary, it seems that the laptop can use speed of DDR3-1066 DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333. People report that kingston modules have no problem.
    After reading many forums, I decided to buy Kingston DDR3-1333 memory since the 1066 kingston was not available in the shop, I visited.
    I installed it and works well in the original operating system (started) and Ultimate 64 bit (ongoing). The difference is night and day.

    2 Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

    After reading around in the forums, it is clear that people have issues with drivers and especially display drivers. Here's what I did so far, although I'm still updating the drivers:

    1 downloaded the driver realtek Lan here:

    http://www.Realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?langid=1&PNid=14&PFID=7&level=5 & Conn = 4 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false

    I downloaded the driver only "Win7 and WinServer 2008 R2 pilot' version 7.049

    Hello

    Because it is a licensed software, I don't expect that it will be freely available for download on the Lenovo support web site.

    If you have a hard drive (or a disk image) with the original factory from Microsoft Windows XP to load, you may be able to copy the installation package for Roxio Creator Business Edition out of it and use it to install the software under Microsoft Windows 7, however, I do not know if it will install under Windows 7.

  • Cannot run 32-bit application on Satellite L750-A010 with Win 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I had a new satellite L750-A010 with OS win7/64, but I can't run programs 32 versions such as Simatic manager V505, product of siemens. Pls advise how I can fix this problem.

    Thank you all.

    Karam.

    Hello

    I m unaware software Siemens Simatic Manager V505. But perhaps this 32-bit applications needs a version of Win 7 32 bit.
    In this case, you need to install a Win 7 32 bit system on your laptop.
    But I recommend to ask support from Siemens for more information maybe there are a few patches, updates or similar solutions that don t require 32-bit system.

    Some Web sites are designed for older browsers. You may experience some compatibility issues on these sites until they are updated to Internet Explorer 8. Internet Explorer 8 includes a compatibility view feature that displays Web sites that have been created for older browsers as they were meant to appear. You can activate the compatibility mode in Internet Explorer.

  • Questions KB and mouse wireless Microsoft with Win 7 64 bit

    Hello

    There could be other messages like mine, but I find it here, with exactly the same problem.

    I have a problem with my new Setup: Windows 7 64 bit and a Microsft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v3 and MS Wireless Mouse 6000 v2 (he came as a set).

    Now it works perfectly with my Windows XP system. I have now on a new computer, Win 7 64 bit. The mouse and the keyboard are now 'Skip', where they seem to ignore the entry for a second or two from time to time. As a first step, I let Windows 7 load its own drivers for these. After the mouse wheel input strange (no scroll bar on an active window would scroll to the bottom with no way to stop it) I downloaded the Intellipoint for the KB and mouse drivers and disabled the intellipoint Control Panel scroll wheel.

    I have changed the batteries, moved the receiver to different USB ports, but nothing helped. I have antivirus running. Wi - Fi KB and mouse works fine on this same machine, in the same USB ports.

    I would appreciate any input.

    Thank you

    Hi gamma,

    Thank you for your message.

    What is your make and model of computer?

    What are the sounds like interference might be the issue.

    Other wireless devices and certain appliances can interfere with wireless KB/mouse.

    Is there a wireless router near the receiver for the KB/mouse? This also will cause a microwave oven.

    Even if the mouse is located in front of a computer and the receiver is at the back of the computer.
    interference of the metal casing of the PC can connect properly.

    In order to better clarify, if you move the mouse backward through the office (left to right continuously for a minute) is the stop of pointer or freeze at any time?

    If so, I suggest to perform a clean boot to see if a startup program may conflict with the resources of mouse/KB:
