Win 7 Pro 64-Bit is unable to see my 3TB hard drive partitions
I have a 3TB hard drive on which I created three logical partitions and no primary partition at all. This was done in Windows XP. I am able to see the partitions in Windows XP and access them perfectly. But when I mount the drive on a Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit system that I recently created, Windows 7 is unable to see the partitions - they are seen as unallocated space in Disk Management. Also,...

Please help stop the insanity! Endless problems going back to RAID!
Hi, folks! I'm on the brink of losing my mind, and I desperately need some very knowledgeable help to avoid losing it.
For several years, my most powerful home-built desktop computer used a two-drive SSD RAID 0 array as my system/boot device. This worked perfectly until last April, when that computer turned itself off and refused to turn back on again. I followed the most likely cause through...

Wife's Win7 computer has a strange issue with windows update. This computer never had the windows 10 upgrade as she did not want it.

When I opened windows update, an error was displayed, C1900101-20003 stating "Windows 10...

Windows 7 won't boot anymore. Disk is still accessible.
Hi!
*Intro*:
I was playing a game on my primary monitor (in fullscreen) while watching a stream through Chrome on my second monitor. I've done this a million times before without problems.

Out of nowhere, both monitors freeze, but the sound keeps going. Then, the secondary monitor went...

No activation key available for Win 7 Ultimate update
I used to have Win 7 Home Premium till it got a bit corrupted a few weeks ago so upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate. All worked fine then the Windows 30 day trial appeared so changed to that. I'd also read about the not genuine version and even though I had the black screen I was still able to use it as before so no problem.
Out of curiosity I thought I'd find out what they were charging anyway but...

Mistake when reinstalling Win 7 - seem to have set 2 drive to System?

After getting everything reinstalled I was going to image the C Drive. It appears to be linked to another large drive (3tb). That drive didnt show up post win7 install. I went into Drive Management and added a letter thinking it was because it was...

HP apparently doesn't like my Win 7
I got in a refurbished HP computer and immediately upgraded it from Win 10 to Win 7 on a new hard drive. The OS is properly installed, keyed and validated from an original 7 Pro 64 bit OEM disk. Nevertheless I get a popup telling me that "this computer is not running genuine Windows." But, of course it is. I've read through and tried everything I find on the internet to resolve this. Nothing...

Return to Windows 7 from Windows 10 installation
I have been using Win 10 for some time and have found, like a lot of people, it really is not at all stable. Every time there is an update from Windows 10 a new problem appears. I have tried a lot of things but I am simply fed up with the constant problem solving that Microsoft should have done before releasing the software, hear endeth the rant:mad:
So, I have a Windows 7 Pro CD (both 32 and...

Solved Dual Boot WinXP-Win7 Fail
A bit of history first... Before including Win7 as an OS, I had two WinXP OS installations on separate partitions on my standalone [single] HD. One OS was my day-to-day 'system'. The other was an audio/visual setup. Data files were on another 'single' HD and a Raid10. I did not use a boot manager to switch between the two XP operating systems opting instead for quick/dirty edit of Partition Table...
