Partition or Volume - Create New

Hello again Shawn,

I now have a brand new hard drive (actually I got it last week but I have been testing) and it worked for like 4 days and then... Same error all over again. Reinstalled windows, got it within one day. Then reinstalled again and it worked for a while but it gave the error again 15 minutes ago. I bet this doesn't belong in this topic anymore but now I think it has been my motherboard all along. Happily the motherboard had 2 years warrant and it has been bought somewhere at the beginning of last year. It might be the motherboard because it sometimes freezes in the first screen (press del for BIOS etc.) and the hard drives sometimes disappear.
Advices would be great at the moment.

Devil,

It could be a bad motherboard. If you have not already, check at your motherboard's website to see of there are any newer chipset drivers available for Windows 7. You might also reset to default or double check your BIOS settings to make that they are all correct for your setup as well. It wouldn't hurt to run MemTest86+ at boot to test your RAM just to rule them out as well.

I already ran the memtest86+ and it didn't give any errors. The bios has been reset to default once already. I haven't checked the website in a while. Last time I did there was no drivers for Win 7 but maybe now.

There was new drivers for the chipset and I'm downloading them right now. Only thing is that it takes a long time since it downloads only 20kB/s -_- I hope that fixes it. The computer has never been used with any other Windows than Win 7. And when I checked last time there was no drivers. So I have never had any drivers for my chipset and since that this might even work.

hello , i have 2 hard disks in my laptop and i want to format all the data . on is 320 gb and other 160 gb . the 320 gb i want to make 3 partition and on the 160 gb i want to make 2 . can i make all the partition primary?

i now how to resize the partition but i was didn""t now if all the partitions can be primary. someone told me that only the partition with os must be primary and all the rest to be logical
so i will make all the paritions primary but not with disk managemet. i can create partition when i will install the new fresh os

so i can make 3 primary partition an on hard drive. but i have 2 hard drive and i want to make 3 primary partition on the 1st harddrive an 2 primary partition on the second hard drive. can i make that?
