SSD for the boot, SSD, reformatting of the files needed for a normal startup of Windows 7

I just have to use the SSD Sandisk more for the startup of Windows 7 and MSOffice programs.
I made a mistake of a new copy on Windows 7 top loading.
What I wanted, it was just part of Windows 7 with all current configurations and keep the data on the other hard drive.

So what I did is to clone the old HD (which was almost full) to a larger HD, so I have a full copy, which is bootable.
I took the old HD and removed/uninstalled all data & programs except: all files in Windows, the files MS Ofc, video card, keyboard & mouse records, Internet browsers, contact lists, etc.

My plans were to take stripped this old HD, after defragmentation and clone through for the Sandisk SSD, so it will start quickly.

My first concern is to clean the SSD drive that has the Windows 7 barebones.
Can I just reformat?

Any other considerations that I missed?

You can re - format the disk and run clone on it, if you don't want to keep of course.

The situation you describe seems feasible for me

  • Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
    "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

    Any help would be really appreciated!

  • Get the error message about the file cCNColms.dll missing at startup.

    I get the missing file from cCNColms to C:\windows\when dll I start and after connection as I administer. Can't find any help on the internet. I did a fixboot and have done several analyses. A fixmbr command showed that corruption but a fix can damage the disk partitions. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you

    Using a Google search, I do not met that DLL and it has a special name, and is in the c:\windows folder so it sounds suspicious to me.  I would say that your system is perhaps currently or has been infected by malware.

    Because the MS Answers forum asks you to zero information on your system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system - and I would skip trying things.

    Read these instructions carefully and see what you can find:

    It is sometimes easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.
    I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
    These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.
    Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
    There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.
    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.
    If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry. There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding
    .  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information
    .  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
    Given that you had or have an infection, followed with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.
  • Windows Update indicates that the files needed to use this service no longer exist on my computer. How to solve this problem?

    After having problems with my computer at startup, I finally decided to try to use my Windows XP CD to repair my file system; However, it seems that the CDs partically reinstall some older files. Examples: the browser I was using was Internet Explorer 8, I have been using Windows XP Service Pack 2. After you use the Windows XP disk to try one the files system and stabilise my system, my computer was back to IE 6 and Windows XP Service Pack 2 was missing altogether. Like, I ordered this drive Windows Sp2 from Microsoft (to their urgering), on a CD a few years ago, I reinstalled it from my original disc. To try to solve the problem with my computer screen constantly enter engery saving as the system mode has been started, it seems that I deleted inadvertently or otherwise destroyed the Windows Update files must verify the authenticity of my software! Any help that anyone can provide with this problem will be more appreciated!
