Like this? Oh noes- Ram Beeps! - YouTube
If so... test your RAM

 

[hasbriale]

Yeah, I guess..

Netbook is now under service.. They offer a 2 year Extended warranty for $40 (excluding battery). Is is worth it?

If I get it reset to factory defaults, I will only have 160 Gig of 320 as usable space .. How to make a 2 partition drive (One for OS and one for data storage).

Thank you.

Thank you.

If you get it back and it's working. Please post following information:

• is it really a factory install, or didn't they replace harddisk?
• Post disk management screenshot http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/274797-disk-management-post-screen-capture-image.html

Of course explain what you want. Don't install extra applications yet.... first make disk layout the way you want!

 

[hasbriale]

Sure..

I believe it will only be a plain Linux.. In that case, I cant prove or test anything as the issue was in Win 7.

Must see what they do.. If they install a Win 7 trial Starter , then we can get somewhere (If they decide to blow everything and wipe the hard disk clean).

Tell exactly what you want at the time netbook returns

Faulty Toshiba hard drive.. No surprises!

Acer Replaced it with Western Digital.. As expected got Win 7 Starter.
Nice to see all drivers installed as well. I took.2 year warranty!
Netbook is running just fine..

They did a 3 partition of the drive.. Not my idea.
C: DRIVE 70 GB, D: & E: 114 GB.

Thats it! Faulty drive as you told me.. Thanks for the positive support!
Appreciate all the help!

Wat is on D? What is on E?
Explain how you want the partitioning

 

[hasbriale]

C drive has Win 7 Starter.
D and E drives are empty!

Will post the pic soon.

Show hidden files and system protected files as well! http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/394-hidden-files-folders-show-hide.html (don't forget to reset those settings later if you wish)
Are D and E really empty? Ignore folder "System Volume Information" and $RECYCLED (recycle bin)

You want to get rid of E? Do you want C larger or smaller (which size do you want)? D must be remaining of disk?

 

[Kaktussoft]

If D and E are really empty you can delete them using "disk management". After that you can extend/shrink C if you wish as well in "disk management". And make a new NTFS partition in the unallocated space. Assign a driver letter to it

Simply right click on the partition and select the action you want.

Post screenshot of disk management please.

What PERSONAL folders do you want to move to DATA partition? my docs, my music, my video, my pictures only? Or also links, favorites, downloads, desktop, contacts?

Same question for PUBLIC folders (C:\users\public)

this is the western digital hard drive layout:

Why don't you answer my questions? Especially #50 and #51

 

[hasbriale]

The drive as I said is new (replaced) and is empty.. I have stored no files on it. Its is completely blank except for Win 7 starter. All my files are on Seagate external drive.

I am going to leave the partitions as they are.. no further changes to be done..
