    Relevant specs: GPT format, ASUS laptop 2016, UEFI, main drive is NTFS, boot drive partition is FAT32 UPDATE post with more information I can recall First, the status of my hard drive seems okay-ish when I've checked the status of it through crystal disk and other means. I do plan to swap my...

    Greetings, recently I attempted to reinstall my windows 8.1 with a bootable USB. I wanted to replace my windows 8.1 system on my notebook with a Linux system and use this windows 8.1 on a PC. I made a system backup on USB (a backup of the windows 8.1). With the USB being done.(It wasn't an ISO...

  4. Windows 8
    Hi, I have an Asus N series laptop with windows 8.1 installed that I bought in 2013. A while back I partitioned the drive for gaming but believe I corrupted some files that are essential to windows. So my plan was to factory reset back to original image. After backing up my files, I started the...

I cannot do the USB back and forth method as I do not have a second monitor, power cable, extension cord, VGA cable etc. Both PC are Windows 7. Can I simply install the old hard drive in my...

Using Disk Management, I have not reached my goal yet but in the process I switched the disk from Basic to Dynamic, thinking that dynamic disk would allow me to...

    Hello all, Something my friends champion me for is my ability to find errors that nobody ever knew existed, simply by touching a computer. That being said, I've also devoted a lot of time into learning various ins and outs and know enough to be able to put together a machine, diagnose, and...
  9. Windows 7
    I bought a refurbished Dell Optiplex 780 running windows 7 a few days back, was running fine until this morning where I woke up to see the error along the lines of "SATA 1 not found" which is strange as the computer was on sleep mode overnight with no background operations. Tried restarting it...

    Hi everyone. I've stuck this on this forum because it kinda involves installing issues with Windows (namely the fact that I had Windows and now it's clearly saying I don't have that or any OS) but if it's in the wrong place, let me know where to put this instead. I have a HP Laptop that's been...
