So I was recently "gifted" a laptop that I am unable to get working. When attempting to boot up it goes to a black screen and does nothing. I have tried doing a clean install of windows 7 but when I get to the step asking which drive I would like to install windows on there are no options listed. The drive itself seems to be good, as it does show up in the BIOS, but despite trying to install...

So, I was re-installing Win7 Ult.64, and I deleted the Primary partition just like I've done 100X's before with no problem, and I didn't touch the smaller System Partition at first. It gave me an error msg that it couldn't find the System File, and look at the System Logs to find out what went wrong. I deleted the small System Partition cautiously thinking it would recreate it. I don't know if...

Hello, lately my laptop is having motherboard failures. Previously I learned that if I take an SSD with W7 from one laptop to another laptop, it doesn't work.
