Virtual memory - Pagefile problem: no drives in list!

Mr GRiM said:

I think it's a good possibility, so you didn't build the system yourself and you don't have the drivers on a disc then, so you will need to go to the Asus site to download the latest drivers.

What driver are talking about in particular? Do you mean intel chispet driver?

Can't open the link, where did you look? On asus website?

It's a known bug that intel chipset installation software doesn't work on seven (Operating System not supported). I still don't understand if a manually forced install is really required.

I still think it has to do with you boot configuration... I see your Windows 7 HARD DRIVE is different from your drive where you BOOT partitions resides. Can you tell us what other OS you have ? Do you dual boot with Vista? I think the pagefile is located on a Vista partition and it's conflicting with Windows 7 seeing that page file instead.

Correct me if I'm wrong... Your current windows partition is C: on DISK0, but the boot partition is on another disk, DISK1????

Yes you are right. I had ubuntu on the 10 gb partion that you can see in the screen, but i formatted when i installed seven.
In fact I don't know why boot partion is in the other disk, but it have always been like this.
I don't know how to fix it without formatting all drives (I can't do that cause I have no space for backup).
Anyway, with Vista and ubuntu this was not a problem, everything worked fine, with dual boot with ubuntu (with grub) or not (only Vista installed).

P.S.: sorry for my terrible english, i hope you can understend as well

Windows cant see Linux partitions so can only report what space/partitions it can see.

Of course. In my case now, the 10 gb partion I used for linux is not a linux partion, i formatted during seven install.

So now you practically boot from GRUB?

if so, try editing GRUB's menu.lst file and do a re-mapping on the drives on Windows 7 entry. Something like:

Title Windows 7
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map --hook

Please tell us which BOOT LOADER starts your computer.

Note: Before you do any remapping, if GRUB is your bootloader, post here the contents of menu.lst file.

No I told you, i formatted the linux partion when I installed Windows 7.

Is there a way to restore the normal boot partion? I mean in the C drive as you told me.

I guess I didn't read well...Now you dont' have ubuntu, so you probably not have GRUB either. WHAT operating systems do you have right now?

yes there is a way, but please tell me what OS you have now booting. Is it only Windows 7?
