Hello, I am about to do my first build and I would like some advice from those in the know. New Computer Build: Full-size/atx case probably Hyte Y60, Price range of $1500 to $2500 give or take a couple of hundred dollars (do not need another monitor, speakers or keyboard, etc.. Capable of...

Ok, I plugged up the WD Caviar black 1tb that I reformatted and when I turned the computer on it just kept turning back off and restarting. It would give me an option of repairing Windows or to start Windows normally. Starting Windows normally just repeated the turn off/turn on make the choice...

The one in question has recently been reformatted. I also have two more HDD's that I am hoping to plug in (one at a time) to transfer some files to an external storage drive and to reformat them as well. One is another WD Black Caviar 1TB and the other is a WD Black Caviar 750Gig. Thanks again!

Hallelujah, hip hip hooray, Praise the Lord! And anything else I'll think of later. I know have a working computer again! I did in fact NOT unplug the other drive after I reformatted it. I was SO delirious, discouraged and disappointed that I lost track of what I was doing. Also, after the usb...

HELP? Boy, I could really use some help now! I reformatted the C: drive (big mistake as it turns out, but it is done now). So the Windows (?) files that the new ssd were dependent on from the c: for Windows to operate are gone now. I didn't want the ssd to be dependent on the other drive and now...

Ok, please bear with me on this as I think I have an answer, BUT I still need a little help with that answer. Something kept bugging me when I couldn't get the cd/dvd drive to boot to the Windows installation disk. So, WAY back in 2011 I Purchased a new hard drive and Windows 7 Ultimate 64. I...

I am wondering if there could be something up with the optical (cd/dvd) drive itself? I seem to remember having some issue with it before, but it was so long ago I'll never remember what it was exactly. Other than a driver issue, is there anything that can be addressed during boot up, like...

It's my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit I purchased from like BestBuy or someplace similar. Absolutely legit and it is what I was running on this computer for quite a few years now. I did a clean install on the WD Caviar Black HDD a few years ago to escape the Vista madness that came with the Dell...

So, the dvd is first to boot and ssd is only drive connected. What I get is CD-ROM Boot Priority ..35 then it goes to CD-ROM Boot Priority ..Boot Ready Then whether I hit "Enter" or "any other key" or just wait, I get NOTHING! I do want to add this. The Samsung installation disk only gives...

I will make sure that it is first to boot, but I think that it is already and that is the message I keep getting. Now, hoping that works, will I just reinstall Win 7 over the same on that ssd?

Hello, When I try that (by booting from the dvd I am getting the following messages: CD_ROM Boot Priority..Boot Ready then: Reboot and Select prpoer Boot device or Insert Boot Media in Selected Boot device and press a key Then: CD-ROM Boot Priority ..35 And then I just can't get the computer...

Ok, I have a Dell XPS 435T. I installed a Samsung V-NAND SSD 850 EVO (1tb). Originally I had 3 WD Caviar Black 1tb hd's. I wanted an absolutely clean install of my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 so I did not use the clone feature (which might have been my undoing). The SSD is B:, and the old HD stayed...
