Since I was having some issues with my system, I just reinstalled W7 from scratched on my SSD. With this new install I decided to go the AHCI, UEFI, GPT route instead of MBR and IDE like on my previous install. Everything installed smoothly. I took a look at my BIOS setting and I can see in my Boot options that my #1 boot option is set to "Windows Boot Manager". My SSD is #2 and my DVD drive...

I recently had to have my Western Digital Hard Drive (which was still under warranty by Western Digital) swapped out and replaced by WD. Because I was able to do so, I removed the hard drive, and sent it back to them, and they sent me a refurbished hard drive. Not thrilled about the refurbished part, but nothing I can do about it. The hard drive crashed before I could make a backup copy of...

My intention was to install Win 7 to the SSD and then use my two old SATA hard drives for storage and odd Linux distros. These drives have my PC history on them having been successively added to from previous machines so I assumed I could recover all...

I have a spare SSD and wanted to migrate current os (win 7 64bit) to it. So that I could use it as replacement should my current os get corrupted. The os is on a Samsung SSD. However EaseUS and MiniTool migration wizard both fail and report errors due to fragmented files on the partition. I always understood that SSD drives must not be defraged. Any suggestions ?

I’ve seen these three strategies recommended by different people. I think I’ve only used the Microsoft method (the 1st one) which they explain but claim it will block upgrades. I’m preparing to reinstall Win 7 (after an SSD Win partition vanished). Does anyone have comments on the merits of these different strategies? The XML file and Audit Mode are basically the same since you’re just...
