Multi-boot facility gone
I USED to have, on boot-up, the option of selecting either Windows 7 or an older system.
Windows 7 was the Primary system, but I had XP French on a second drive, and XP English on a third.
The C Drive with 7 on it suffered a sudden catastrophic failure, and I had to replace it with a new drive (Samsung SSD 850 PRO 512GB), but I obviously had to do a new install of 7, which lost me the...

How to dual boot Windows 7 ON Windows 10
Here are the things that should be taken into consideration:
* Windows 10 currently installed
* UEFI (Legacy/BIOS is supported but I do not prefer using it as it may cause more problems in the future)

Black screen after long post bootup
I just bought a gtx 970 to replace the 9750. I did a new install on a new ssd. I installed all the appropriate mobo drivers and now it's time to install the geforce drivers. I shut off the computer, connected the 6pins to the video card, and made sure the video card is secure seated. Turned on the computer and noticed the post screen, but it lingers for a while then I get a black screen. I'm not...

I'm posting here as well because I figure this will reach the grand audience and the users from the older post may get the email notification and have direct information.

Make a partition after cmd -> diskpart is used to clean an HD
I'm practicing with the tutorial at SevenForums called "SSD/HDD Optimize when you're ready to reinstall the operating system."
The practice is on an old drive.
I ran the clean command.
In the boot drive, the cleaned disk is now not shown.
I'm confused on how to simply put a format on the cleaned drive.
I was going to use administrator tools disk management to do this. But if the spare...

Cannot get in as Administrator; bad password? Win 7
I seem to be the only volunteer at our local Senior Center willing to take any responsibility for our computers which are for member use. I buy all the supplies and accessories, and wait to be reimbursed, etc. I found that members were downloading malware and other junk often hooked with "free download." So I went through the steps to set up an Administrator account, leaving the Guest free to...

Cannot Access System Setup via Installation CD or Bootable USB
Hello everyone.
For some reason, I have lost access to the Installation menu accessible through both the Installation CD and a bootable USB with the same files as the Installation CD. I'm not sure when this started happening but I'm going to say within a couple of months.

Selecting Safe mode at boot time stops at 'drivers' in the trace
I have not done scratch installs for a while now but was trying to revive an HD with problems. A Safe mode boot shows the trace of operations performed by the operating system. This trace stops at 'Drivers'
and hangs. If not in Safe mode an unrequested 'hard reset' takes place.
On the Win7 Windows Repair Environment it shows an option for drivers install. Is this simply the

Multiple Windows Installers on One Flash Drive?
With the advent of EFI and the fact it boots from neat little files as opposed to however it was before in a technical sense, is it possible to put, for example, a Windows 7, Windows 8, and a Windows 10 installer all on the same flash drive and just choose at boot depending on what computer I happen to be fixing or building at the time? I've got this gigantic 128GB flash drive and this popped...
