Ok can you right click on that E: drive partition and go to "Explore" let us know what is there because it looks like you have a USB stick inserted in the machine because it is coming up a as separate drive.

Oh dear. It is an SD card that I forgot was inserted. Duh. I'm sorry. I removed it then restarted the computer and it is still beeping and displaying "starting windows" for minutes before windows successfully starts.
Here's what the mini tool partition wizard show us now.
Where you able to fix the right click issue, and do you have any yellow exclamation points in your device manager? Also is this an Aspire 5750G?

Perhaps your right click button is what windows thinks is stuck?

Hello, Malcom. The right clicking works now. What does have exclamation marks in my device manager is attached. I think it is just an Aspire 5750--no "g". That pesky beeping still happens upon Windows starting up, though.
Ok can you right click on those devices and then go to Properties and see just what they are please.
Based on that download and install this driver to start okay. They are from the 5750 support page.

Then give us a screenshot of the hardware ID's on the details tab of the other two like below.

I downloaded and extracted the zip file from the link you provided. Neither "base system device" entries in my device manager would accept the drivers, but "universal serial bus controller (usb)" did grab onto the driver. I have attached a new screenshot of what is listed in my device manager as well as the the property details for the universal serial bus controller (usb) plus the other two base system devices that still show exclamation points in device manager.
Question: where am I supposed to store these driver folders (so I don't accidentally delete them)? Right now this new folder is in my documents.
Okay, I expected for only the USB controller one to work with that for the other two install this one as that hardware ID seems to be the broadcom Card Reader.

Let us know how that goes.

That was for a Broadcom Memory Stick and it successfully installed. There's only this unknown device left. I tried to install the same driver for the one that was successful into the only one left via properties and it said it was the wrong platform.
