Now it is listed as the "H" drive. The restore drive was "D" and now it is listed as "C" drive. <br/><br/>Will try the slave drive hook-up to recover data. Thanks for all the help. Reading mine and others post has helped a lot in learning about computers. I looked on internet but have yet to find a way to slave a SATA drive, which mine is. Is there another way to recover, mainly, photo and MS word files from a SATA drive that won't boot up? Instructions are for PATA drive, not SATA drive. There is no Master/Slave for SATA.For a SATA drive to be slave it needs to be on a SATA port above #2...<br/><br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/note-344986" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NOTE">NOTE</a>: On some machines it is odd #'d SATA ports that accomplise this such as 3 or 5...<br/>Consult your MBoard manual...Thanks everyone for help. After ruling out all easy options, one fix did work. I was able to find another spare hard SATA drive and install it in computer and use the "Recovery Disks" I made when I first got computer( HP help desk told me these may be bad and I needed to order more from them $). Those formatted the new hard drive. I found the same type of cables were attached to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cd-236847" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CD">CD</a> drive (port #9)as I needed for a second hard drive hookup. After hooking up the "unbootable" hard drive and restarting computer it ran "CHKDSK" and changed several things and I was able to open up the hard drive and copy all the files. <br/><br/>CHKDSK said that it deleted corrupt attribute list entry with type code 128 in file 5768, and about 3 other files. <br/>It also Deleted index entry WPDNSE in index $I30 of file 19292. Later it added back stuff to both the index $I30 and file. <br/>After these checks I was able to access the "bad" hard drive I needed files from.<br/><br/>I re hooked up the "bad" drive and disconnected the new one and everything works now. It took a long while (about 5 min) to load everything after my desktop screen came on. <br/><br/>Thanks again for help!<br/></body></html> | |

Solve : Wrong drive letters on Dual Boot System? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>My 7 year old XP laptop has just received EasyBCD and a new partition with W7.<br/><br/>I now realise that the new partition has stolen a letter F:\ which has always been used for a special partition on my external Hard drive, and I want it to stay that way.<br/><br/>I believe drive letters are only held in the registry and have no effect outside the O.S. in question, therefore W7 will not be affected by me changing the letter which XP uses to view it.<br/><br/>Please confirm it is safe, or explain my error.<br/><br/>Regards<br/>Alan.<br/>What is on f: Drive? And what do you mean the partition "stole the letter f:"? What did you do that reassigned drive letters?Not really stolen - just squatter's rights ! !<br/><br/>I normally have the external drive switched off unless I am archiving files etc.<br/><br/>Hence once I created the new partition with a Boot CD and installed W7 in the new partition, the external drive was unknown.<br/><br/>I now realise that when I booted XP with the new partition present, it allocated the next available letter, and unfortunately considered F:\ to be free and available.<br/><br/>I intend to change it from F:\ to some other letter that will cause no grief,<br/>so that the next time I boot into XP it will be able to allocate F:\ to the correct partition on the external drive, just like it always did.<br/><br/>Alan<br/>1) As you now know you cannot have any external drives attached when installing an OS.<br/>2) Either leave it as is or start again - delete the partition and reinstall W7 where you want it.I hope we just have a misunderstanding.<br/><br/>XP is installed on an 11 GB primary (not logical) partition at the start of the disc.<br/><br/>W7 is installed on a 20 GB logical partition, with 3 other non system partions between it and the 11 GB partition.<br/><br/>W7 refers to its 20 GB partition as C:\<br/>and refers to the 11 GB primary partition as D:\<br/><br/>XP refers to its 11 GB partition as C:\<br/>and I assume that after creating the new partition then had the external drive been plugged in when XP booted it would have NOT considered F:\ to be the next available free letter, and would have chosen a letter that avoided future conflict.<br/><br/>I merely wish to correct my lack of foresight and change the letter F:\ which XP allocates to the 20 GB W7 partition.<br/>W7 knows that its 20 GB partition is and always shall be C:\ to itself<br/>and is not (so far as I know) concerned that XP calls the W7 partition F:\<br/><br/>XP, W7, Linux etc. all read the same "label" on a partition, and if any one of them change the label all the other O.S. will see the new label.<br/><br/>I believe what XP or W7 calls a partition is a private matter within its own registry, and a change of a "private nick name" letter by XP should have no effect and be invisible to W7 - I hope, but I am here just incase I have overlooked something.<br/><br/>Regards<br/>Alan<br/>1) Whichever OS you boot will see its drive as c:, regardless of the actual drive or partition designation<br/>2) Changing the drive letter of a drive or partition containing an OS can cause problems. Hence my recommendation above - either leave it alone or delete the partition with the "second" OS (on F:) and reinstall it on the partition you want.A few observations:<br/><br/>OS's do not change or steal their drive letters just by chance...<br/><br/>You stated the following:<br/>Quote</p><blockquote>W7 refers to its 20 GB partition as C:\<br/>and refers to the 11 GB primary partition as D:\<br/><br/>XP refers to its 11 GB partition as C:\</blockquote><br/>Perfectly normal...when you boot to an OS it will always show itself as being on C: and the other OS as being on D or another drive letter...<br/><br/>NOTE: The drive letter designations are not stored in the registry per se...they are part of the bootloader and system ini info and are created at the time of installation...<br/><br/>If you are unable to make these changes from within EasyBCD then i'm afraid you are out of luck and would have to as Allan stated re-install Win7 with the external unplugged....if it asks if you want to install to what it calls F: simply say no and select another drive letter...<br/><br/>You should post a screenshot of your configuration from Disk Management...20 seconds can make a world of difference I'm still up 9 to 7 if my memory serves me correctly..... <br/><br/> Elephant!I am not an elephant - I have difficulty remembering what I did last week ! !<br/><br/>Here are screen <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/shots-1206476" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SHOTS">SHOTS</a> from Disc Management of W7 showing what it sees before it ever knew that an external drive existed, and then after the external drive had been connected and W7 had installed a couple of USB bridge drivers etc and been given the reboot it requested.<br/><br/>I will follow this post with a longer one showing screen shots from Disc Management of XP, together with further explanations and questions.<br/>This will take a little time ! ! !<br/>Please be patient.<br/><br/>Regards<br/>Alan<br/><br/><br/>[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Quote from: ALAN_BR on July 28, 2010, 12:23:49 PM<blockquote>I am not an elephant - I have difficulty remembering what I did last week ! !<br/><br/></blockquote>Sorry Alan, that was for patio not you.Allan, no need to apologise - I immediately realised you were taking a friendly poke at Patio and his comment about his memory.<br/>Regrettably my memory now gives me the choice of deciding whether to laugh or cry ! !<br/>I choose to laugh.<br/><br/>I think I was guilty of premature excitement.<br/><br/>I panicked when I saw in XP <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/windows-22662" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WINDOWS">WINDOWS</a> Explorer that a partition "Windows 7" had taken squatter's rights over drive letter "F" which belongs to the external drive I rarely connect. Taking the screenshots of Disc management it is not so bad after all.<br/><br/>Last week is still in a mist of forgetfulness, but I now remember that on <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/saturday-637008" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SATURDAY">SATURDAY</a> I created the 20 GB partition for Oracle VM Virtual Box to accommodate a W7 "installation", and I allocated letter M:\ so XP would still be able to use the drive letters already assigned to the external drive partitions. Regrettably Virtual W7 took 1 minute to actually launch Windows Explorer. Virtual W7 was in a stupor, almost none of the processor cycles did any work for me. When I shut it down it almost shut - then told me there were 16 updates that it would first install and it took me 90 minutes past my bed time waiting.<br/><br/>On Monday I gave up on Virtual W7 and purged drive M:\ to give a real W7 a home for a proper installation, and that worked well. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/instantly-499459" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INSTANTLY">INSTANTLY</a> updated and Windows Explorer quite rapid. Then Acronis was installed to create backup images and for that purpose a 15 GB partition was added. That was where I made my mistake.<br/><br/>I created the 20 GB partition with Partition Wizard 5.0 running under XP, and I seized the opportunity to give it letter M:\ so that the external drive would still have all the letters previously used. My mistake was that I failed to reboot the system from W7 and into XP to add the 15 GB images partition, in which case I would have allocated letter N:\. Instead I used the Partition Wizard Boot disc which of course gives no opportunity to assign a drive letter.<br/><br/>I now realise that W7 did not "steal" letter F:\ - it was XP having one of my "senior moments" and forgetting that F:\ was (at least in my view) supposed to be reserved for the external drive, and when it saw a new 15 GB partition it seized the first letter in the alphabet which appeared to be out of use.<br/><br/>A few <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/months-1101351" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MONTHS">MONTHS</a> after I bought the external drive it lost everything. I do not know why it died. Fortunately my son told me that drive letters can get lost and Disc Management might fix it so I did not have to post it back to Play.com - He was right. Trying to remember which letters had been assigned to which partition sizes was a challenge to my memory, and once I got it right I modified all the labels to remind me if I every suffered the same fate again.<br/><br/>Hence you will see in sshot-174.gif that what were drives J:\ and K:\ are still correct, but disc 1 drives F:\ G:\, and I:\ have all been renamed.<br/>N.B. XP uses Acronis v11 which has put 120 GB of images on drive I:\.<br/>Acronis is a bit touchy at the best of times, and will not be amused that drive I:\ is now a mere 60 GB with no images ! !<br/><br/>Long story short :-<br/>Premature panic;<br/>W7 as installed fully compatible with XP,<br/>even though Suzanne's IPOD is drive F:\ as seen by W7, whilst XP always has and will call it drive S:\<br/>W7 accepted as Drive K:\ a new 15 GB partition which XP had never seen or allocated a letter to.<br/>Now that XP has seen the new 15 GB partition it has accepted it as Drive F:\.<br/>W7 seems to work the same since XP called the 15 GB partition F:\,<br/>so I sincerely hope that it will be just as tolerant if I now tell XP it should no longer be F:\ but N:\<br/><br/>Please confirm that I should be lucky, or explain what could go wrong.<br/><br/>Regards<br/>Alan<br/><br/><br/><br/>[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]</body></html> | |

I had my computer built from scratch <br/></blockquote><br/>Gloops, I suggest you read this carefully. It may help you in the future, and after reading it, it seems to me, you will have much more <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/knowledge-25694" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about KNOWLEDGE">KNOWLEDGE</a> than you do at the present time.<br/><br/>Google is a <em>search engine</em>. That is a type of web site that lets you search for information about lots and lots of subjects. In fact, just about anything you can <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/think-661001" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THINK">THINK</a> of! Especially if it's to do with computers. What you do is this:<br/><br/>1. Type "<a href="https://www.google.com">http://www.google.com</a>" into the address bar at the top of your web browser (the program that you are using to read this)<br/>2. When the site comes up, you will see the word Google and below that an oblong white <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/box-401352" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BOX">BOX</a>. <br/>3. Click in that box and type something that you would like to find out about. "Windows recovery console" is an example.<br/>4. Now click the button marked Google Search.<br/>5. Now a page or maybe more than one page of links will come up.<br/>6. Click on some of them and you will probably find what you need to know.<br/><br/>Not doing this, that is, asking questions such as...<br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>Where on earth is the 'Recovery Console' mate? </blockquote><br/>...is considered lazy and bad forum manners and will lead to sarcasm and worse being directed at you. "Where on earth" implies that you have been told about something outlandish and obscure which you could not possibly be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/expected-1733872" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EXPECTED">EXPECTED</a> to know about, and is an implied rebuke.

That is why you were asked sarcastically if your computer didn't come with Google. <br/><br/>I hope this is clear now.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=What+is+the+recovery+console%3F&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3MOZA_en-GBUS386US388&ie=UTF-8">http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=What+is+the+recovery+console%3F&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3MOZA_en-GBUS386US388&ie=UTF-8</a>Thanks guys, but I do already know about the search engine, I use it all the time.

Solve : Windows Explorer window is running each time I log in? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Quote from: jason2074 on July 29, 2010, 07:31:37 PM</p><blockquote>Msconfig was the way out all along... <br/></blockquote><br/>Wrong.<br/>MSconfig should only be used as a diagnostic tool...<br/>Never as to making permanent system changes...Amen Quote from: patio on July 29, 2010, 08:08:43 PM<blockquote>Wrong.<br/>MSconfig should only be used as a diagnostic tool...<br/>Never as to making permanent system changes...<br/></blockquote><br/>I've always believed this. But I've come to realize this is no longer true. With Windows 9x's msconfig, it would actually <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/make-249948" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MAKE">MAKE</a> itself startup with the computer and give you a prompt saying you were in "diagnostic" mode.<br/><br/>Now, the option buttons presented on the first tab of msconfig don't correspond to any special modes that it forces windows to run in.<br/><br/>In fact, they only correspond to what is checked in the other tabs.<br/><br/>if there are any unselected items, msconfig says you are in "selective startup" mode. It doesn't matter wether these items were moved by another program or by msconfig itself. the checkboxes beneath them reflect how "selective" it thinks your startup is.<br/><br/>the "Normal startup" will be checked if every single item is checked. Diagnostic startup unchecks everything.<br/><br/>the option buttons there are merely "shortcuts" to uncheck and check certain items.<br/><br/>"So" you say, "how does it allow you to check items off in the startup tab if it deletes them when you uncheck them?" well, quite simple! it makes a record of anything it disables in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig.<br/><br/>Therefore, the only reason not to use msconfig to make permanent changes would be if you don't like a few extra bytes being used up.<br/><br/>Another point of note: many of the "alternatives" being suggested are not supported on many newer operating systems, specifically, for example, any 64-bit variant. Take the Startup Control Panel: it's entirely unaware of the fact that all it's accesses to the RUN keys are in fact being redirected, via <a href="http://bc-programming.com/blogs/2009/12/windows-x64-fileregistry-redirection/">registry redirection</a>, to actually point to values in wow6432node.<br/><br/>Of course, this will find all the RUN keys created by 32-bit programs (who, when saving their values were also redirected to wow6432node. However, the "actual" run key will be left entirely unexamined.<br/><br/>Do we really want to switch people away from a tool that understands the implications of this redirection and can properly enumerate the appropriate keys, or do we want to continue to make what I now believe are outdated claims about how it works based on the caveats of it's Windows 9x version?<br/><br/>So many people say "don't use MSConfig". <br/><br/>But can anybody give a good reason ? That's what I was trying to do- find out why we shouldn't be using it, but I couldn't find any reason at all.<br/><br/><br/><br/>So, may i know what was the suggested solution to the windows start-up? Please "msconfig" is perfectly safe to check, uncheck startups, however for an average person it IS a dangerous area, because there are many other options there and if not understood correctly and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/played-2211668" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PLAYED">PLAYED</a> with, the computer may end up as not bootable, in a loop, or stuck in safe mode.<br/><br/>There are countless of free programs, like Autoruns, Startupcop, QuickStartup and others, where you can play with your startups in safe manor.Thanks a lot, Patio, BC_Programmer, its a worthwhile to learn reading about suggestions, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/comments-11906" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMMENTS">COMMENTS</a>, opinions thru your experiences.

I actually have a start-up tool and looking at it and comparing with the msconfig start-up tab seems relatively almost the same . Only thing i dont i know is the impact of unchecking a running service from the startup tool with the msconfig startup tab. And to be more clear about the issue of binghamjc is, does your suggestion about unchecking on startup tab cleared his problem?Yes, but what I asked him to do was ONLY for testing purposes.<br/>You can't run computer with the above settings for long, because there is no protection.<br/>Talking about startups, any non-Microsoft startup is safe to disable, unless you really need it as a startup.<br/>One exception - in case of laptop, don't disable any keyboard, or touchpad entries.Yes i remember clearly about not disabling keyboard on laptop as you previously posted. And the services for microsoft disabled(Startup) is what you mean by protection, right? No, you don't disable any Microsoft services.<br/>By protection, I mean your AV program and a firewall.Ok i understand. Thanks Mastermind Broni. For that I'll treat you for lunch <br/>Gotta go... Lunch time.You're very welcome There has been a lot of speculation in this thread about what was and was not the solution to my problem.<br/>Here is my take on it.<br/>Using msconfig pointed me in the right direction, but it was not the final solution, and as Broni pointed out, it was intended to be a diagnostic tool. From my point of view that is all that I used it for was a diagnostic tool. Furthermore, when I brought the system up in Selective Startup mode there were warnings to that effect, that is not something that I would like to have occur each time I log in. That would be at least as annoying if not more so than the original problem. What it did do was point out that there was something in the startup list that was the source of the problem.<br/>The tool that I used to determine what in the startup list was the source of the problem and remove the two HP programs from the startup list was WinPatrol, there may be others that provide similar capabilities, I am not familiar with them. I have been running WinPatrol on both my systems for at least the past 5 years and am familiar with its operation and comfortable using it. Its main functionality is as a system monitor looking for changes to critical system resources and alerting me so that changes do not occur without my knowledge.<br/>I chose to use WinPatrol to continue my trouble shooting because using it did not require that I reboot the system, only that I log off and back on to test the effects of removing various programs from the list.<br/>In my estimation using msconfig was akin to using a 4 pound sledge hammer to do the job of a tack hammer.<br/>So thank you all for your help in finding the solution to this annoyance.You're very welcome BC i'll give you kudos for what you stated...<br/>However i will prefer to stay old school on this one...<br/>Withe services.msc being available (which should be the suggestion in these cases) and apps like Mike Lin's Startup CPL i see no reason to use msconfig to make permanent changes...<br/>Reason being if you change anything in services.msc as opposed to msconfig the system will still boot but provide an error massage and you can recover from that...<br/>That is not the case when msconfig is used...<br/>Better approach for newbies and i'm stickin to it...Quote from: patio on July 30, 2010, 02:31:28 PM<blockquote>BC i'll give you kudos for what you stated...<br/>However i will prefer to stay old school on this one...<br/>Withe services.msc being available (which should be the suggestion in these cases) and apps like Mike Lin's Startup CPL i see no reason to use msconfig to make permanent changes...<br/>Reason being if you change anything in services.msc as opposed to msconfig the system will still boot but provide an error massage and you can recover from that...<br/>That is not the case when msconfig is used...<br/>Better approach for newbies and i'm stickin to it...<br/></blockquote><br/>I agree, I never use msconfig myself for anything whatsoever, and it's certainly not something users should just go through flipping checkboxes seemingly at random to fix an issue, or editing the boot configuration- it's a dangerous program for a curious person to start experimenting with, and I 100% agree, the various other tools (like autoruns, and the startup CPL (on 32-bit systems, anyway) as well as the actual OS functionality to disable/enable services (services.msc), are much much better.<br/><br/>What I am arguing against os more the stigma that seems to imply that it's not a preferred choice because of some unsaid detail about how it works, rather then the true reason, which is that the adventurous users are likely to get burned.<br/><br/>On the other hand, adventurous users are likely to get themselves into trouble regardless of the program, but at least most of them stick to the "startups" concept rather then having tabs to modify their core boot configuration.<br/><br/>At it's core, the real problem is that there was some decision by somebody to add these countless ways that programs can startup automatically. I mean, at least 6 or so registry keys, even more on 64-bit systems, several ini files that are long forgotten but still parsed, task scheduler, and mercy knows what else. A single startup folder would have certainly been sufficient- you want to see your startups, you just open that folder. no hassle with any tools. But no... apparently companies didn't like this. Win 3.1 had pretty much two places- the startup folder and run= and load= lines in win.ini. That was more then enough. But with win95 was released I guess their excitement over the registry overflowed into a number of new "infection vectors" (As far as I'm concerned, aside from a few necessary driver satellite DLL files (very few, I might add) anything that puts itself in there is an infection. (except malware programs, whose function necessitates being there) Nobody asks "how can I get realplayer to start with my system" because nobody wants it to. *censored*, nobody wants realplayer, they usually get it by accident. A PDF reader doesn't need a "boot loader" program that precaches the main executable. How often do people read PDFs, truly? certainly not enough to notice that they can start Adobe Reader over a half second faster if they let this program run in the background. If the people want it, they'll <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ask-364170" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ASK">ASK</a> for it. I know the feeling that causes this and I've done the same. "wow this program is great I'm sure people will want X" and I add it, then I go back to that program a few months later and chastise myself for such management-level thinking.<br/><br/></body></html> | |
