I just installed my caviar black and did a clean install of Windows 7 on it. Following that, I plugged in my old 250gb seagate (cause I'm still going to use it). I transferred all my important files over to the caviar and I want to reformat the entire seagate and erase everything on it including my previous windows 7 installation. Is there a way to do this because since C is a system drive there is no option of "format" when I right click.

also when I first start the computer, it goes to my PREVIOUS installation of win7 by default, how do I make it go to the new one cause I obviously have to be on the new installation if I want to reformat the old hard drive

I have a client that does intense market trading, I already have a system planned out for him however we are stuck at one issue. How will we implement a secure software solution for him that works.

He currently has Windows XP installed however his stock trading software keeps causing errors through Java, Excel, Word, etc. So, he can't do much with it because it keeps crashing. We thought it was software, well, it wasn't as I reinstalled Windows and he is still crashing. It could be the trading software, and it crashes because of the lack of resources which is why we have another system planned out.

He was talking to me about getting a Mac asking if they were more secure, and I told him to stay clear and try to use a Linux system with WINE emulation. Obviously WINE for his trading programs and Office, and only that what he needs.

The problem is, I am having trouble envisioning how this would be implemented. I can setup, install, and (minimally) configure Linux and WINE together, but beyond that, I can't do much with Linux. I can show him how he needs to run the programs that he uses under WINE and what not, but securing it is a different story. I would need some help with this. We also want to know if this will efficiently work and if the stock trading programs will be compatible with WINE. I mentioned to him that WINE can run certain Video Games which require much more calculations per second then his spreadsheets run.

What he needs:
  • A secure system
  • A database that grabs, reloads, extracts, takes data at a certain time
  • Emulation program that will allow him to run his trading programs and Office (WINE, Crossover, etc)
  • Any room for possible expansion.
Hardware wise, I listed out a:
  • Intel Duo Core
  • Gigabyte Motherboard
  • 2 GB of RAM
  • 1 XFX 4650 (So he can hook up multiple monitors)
  • 450W PSU
We need suggestions, advice, and help on how we can make this work.

Would going with Linux be the most effective way, if so, please help me set it up for him. Should we stay on the Windows path and just upgrade him to Vista or 7 and see if hardware updates also help with the issues?

I had tried troubleshooting before, I thought it may have been a corrupt device within Windows originally, so he gave me the go ahead to try and reinstall. I did, and the problem came back.

He is willing to do whatever he needs to get back to trading, but he is only willing to spend money if he is 99 to 100 % positive that it will work without problems.

Any advice? ]]> Operating Systems GH0 http://www.overclock.net/operating-systems/611422-need-some-opinions.html slow boot,help figure this out. http://www.overclock.net/operating-systems/611209-slow-boot-help-figure-out.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:52:08 GMT when i boot my pc it gets to the windows load bar,runs fine thought that.then theres a long pause before it gos to my desk top.and i noticed that my vcard doesnt even spin up till it is in the desk top screen. is there some kind of system check going on.it has never takin this long to boot.i... when i boot my pc it gets to the windows load bar,runs fine thought that.then theres a long pause before it gos to my desk top.and i noticed that my vcard doesnt even spin up till it is in the desk top screen.

So I buy Windows 7 Pro x64 and I installed it and I am shocked at what it is like currently to when I RC it and I am curious what your thoughts are on it.



Windows 7 is without a doubt superior to Vista in terms of speed but I have a few beefs with it.

1. Aero

Now I don't mind Aero but I disable it (personal choice) now the issue here is that when you do you get a UGLY grey/blue bar you can't change. (registry fixes etc don't seem to work either)
I must admit I favor Vista "default" look nice and sleek and no Aero.

2. Preview Tabs

So I view this as a "stupid people" feature because I know what is on my toolbar. You cannot disable it yet (and it is ANNOYING for me)
The biggest issue here is in the RC you COULD disable it now it says "vista only" to disable.

3. Right Click - Close
I have no clue why they changed it...it now elevates above the toolbar (this is a minor beef but still its kinda annoying)

4. Control Panel
Why do they no longer have the classic view? I enjoy classic + list. Once again a feature they removed after I quit doing the RC.
(now I know they have a classic like view but its really spaced and imo stupid looking)

5. Toolbar
I liked the default...a lot of the stuff can be disabled but no matter how I "disable" it for some strange reason the bars continue to sort themselves...I don't need my computer rearranging my stuff for me.


This is not a rant mind you but was curious if anyone else felt the restriction Windows 7 seems to have.

I know its suppose to be "new age" but some of the above features have been included from 98+

I rebooted my computer because I wanted to mess around in Linux, and when it tried to boot GRUB the system flat out restarted.

I figured something happened and GRUB crapped the bed, maybe its something to do with the new version of grub, hopefully its not an HDD thing.

Unfortunately I can't find my Karmic disk, and the only disk I had, which happened to be intrepid, had crap ATI drivers, and I white screened when it try to enable compositing.


So that means I can't restore grub, and I have to restore using my Windows 7 disk.

I go through the whole repair sequence and restart... still the same problem.

I guess it doesn't work :(

Okay so today I ran into a slight issue. I wanted to go about installing Windows XP along-side Win7 so that I could play a larger variety of games on my machine that weren't 100% compatible with Win7.

Great, so I shrank my Win7 partition through it's System Administration tool, and I rebooted the machine into the Windows XP installation setup. I let Windows XP format this newly freed up space and do the installation.

This is where problems started to occur.

The machine rebooted as if it was going to go into the Windows XP installation to only give me a "A disk read error occured" and asking me to Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.

I thought, okay, maybe this new installation is conflicting with the boot configurations for Win7. So I went back into the WinXP installation and deleted the partition that WinXP was going to be installed on. That did nothing, and i'm getting the same error.

Fortunately most of my valuable work is either in my Dropbox or on my external hard-drive, but there is one important project file on there that I want to retrieve before I want to do anything drastic, and it's very important that I get ahold of that file.

Files still seem to be on the Win7 Partition of the hard-drive though seeing as it said through the Windows XP installation that there was a smaller amount of space left that was free on the Win7 HDD. Meaning that the information is still there.

I'm just wondering now,
How do I get it working and booting into Win7 again, and how can I recover? ]]> Operating Systems loveduckie http://www.overclock.net/operating-systems/609243-win7-winxp-dual-booting.html TF2 Mic problem found, how to disable this in vista? http://www.overclock.net/operating-systems/608642-tf2-mic-problem-found-how-disable.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:49:07 GMT so recently after reinstalling the vista OS on a new mobo i was affected with sound issues. after spending 2 days figguting around with the os i found that the problem was caused by vista auto installing a driver called "2-high definition audio device". so each time i install my c-media drivers for my auzentech card it would conflict with this driver and make me unable to use my mic.

the problem now, each time i remove 2-high definition it just reinstall 4mins later automatically under vista. what can i do to make it stop installing this?




currently, i have both realtek and c-media uninstalled, this is the only way atm to be able to use the mic. i would like a solution to this problem if you have, as this 2-high def is low quality and i would liek to use cmedia to control my playback/recording device. ]]> Operating Systems Bobobearx http://www.overclock.net/operating-systems/608642-tf2-mic-problem-found-how-disable.html Windows 7 64-bit, how much ram? http://www.overclock.net/operating-systems/608641-windows-7-64-bit-how-much.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:45:48 GMT Hi all, just put a budget build together for my dad, the rise in ram prices has led me to buy 2gb (1x1) instead of the usual 4gb (2x2) of ddr2. Will windows 7 64bit run well on 2 machine with 2gb's of ram?
