Tony, the bootable thumb drive makes sense. Care to walk me through the process of making one? What OS do you recommend for it? With a bootable...
I've always found that the letters change when I open a different HDD, so they aren't fixed. If I change letters, will that mess up shortcuts or...
My mobo is a Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4 with Legacy BIOS, so that shouldn't be an issue.
I can't seem to find that anymore. Are you saying there would be no problem dual booting between a SSD and a HDD (using 8.1 or 10)? If not, I'll...
I like dual boot capability in case one drive crashes, but I've read that some SSDs won't allow dual booting. Which good ones do allow dual booting?
Thanks for the info. Any thoughts on a SSD to dual boot to this computer?
D & H are the partitions for my secondary HDD. F doesn't exist (other than when I put something into a USB port), and E is a 3.3MB partition...
I do have a second drive (160GB), and the computer is dual booted. I used to have lots of partitions, but I'm getting fewer and fewer as time goes...
Tony, that was what I was suggesting when I said "I guess I could move 20GB from I to G and then 20GB from G to C." Maybe I should just merge I...
The partitions on my HDD need to be adjusted, as I keep getting warnings when the free space on my C drive shrinks. I am using Win 8.1. I have a...
Thanks
Neil, I figured as much, but I was hoping I could avoid the trip down there. Unfortunately, it won't load in safe mode or last known good...
They are both set at CS, so I guess I'll have to reset that when I next get down there. Until I can get there and rid the HDD of everything, are...
Other than deleting the Windows folder, along with reformatting the extra partitions, on the Dell HDD, what other folders or files or programs...
At this point, the Dell HDD isn't plugged in, but the OS on the Seagate is having trouble loading. I sense not deleting the Windows folder at the...
I still feel the problem is with the generic Seagate drive, not the Dell drive. I don't see any reason to work on the Dell drive, other than to...
Everyone seems to be focusing on the Dell aspect. This isn't a Dell machine. The Dell HDD was originally installed on a Dell machine, so won't...
Arie, since I'm not using the Dell drive as a boot drive, attempting to fix the Dell drive makes no sense. I have to wait till my sister can see...
Evan, I did edit the boot.ini when I put the drive into the computer, so there is only one drive listed as a boot drive (just as your instructions...
Last week, I replaced my mother's computer with my son's computer, as hers was getting extremely slow. His is a generic that we built, while hers...
