    [SOLVED] Replaced Hard Drive Sata board, now it won't initialize in disc manager.

    Hello, Awhile ago I accidentally broke the Sata connector on my hard drive (WD Black 3TB). I bought a new sata board off ebay and replaced it. This was not my main/boot drive. I plugged the hard drive into a dock station and it doesn't show up in file manager, but it shows up in Disc Manager...

    [SOLVED] Windows 7 Ryzen 3 HP Desktop

    I'm too low on the totem pole to have a say and adamantly ask for Windows 10, but yea I'd have much preferred that as well. Do you guys think getting a USB 2.0 to PCI card would do anything?

    [SOLVED] Windows 7 Ryzen 3 HP Desktop

    Hello, A client requires Windows 7 on an HP computer specifically. I bought Windows 10 HP Pavilion 590-p0025. I wiped the NVME SSD but no matter what I do for the windows 7 install, it doesn't recognize the USB ports. There are USB 2 and 3 ports on the computer but none of them work. I can get...

    [SOLVED] Can I mix NVME PCIE SSD capacities/brands?

    I bought a laptop with two M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD slots. One is already occupied by an Intel 760P 512gb OS SSD. I can I just plug and play a Crucial 1 TB NVMe PCIe SSD in the other slot? Or does it also have to be another Intel 760P 512gb ssd? Thanks

    How to backup and restore WD image

    Would a good way to go about this be to partition 1TB out of my 4TB HDD, clone onto that partition, and dual boot windows 10 onto that other 3TB? Thanks!

    Can OS Temporarily corrupt bios?

    I've actually tried installing windows 7 on two different WD green HDDs. Getting the same issue from both. Maybe I wasn't clear in my post, I bread boarded my computer. With the HDD plugged in but without windows 7 installed, the bios looked fine. It was after I installed windows that...

    Touch Screen Laptop Drivers

    Hi Everyone, I need to do a clean install of windows 10 onto my laptop. I've had some trouble before with a much older laptop where not all of the drivers were installed after a clean install of windows 7. I went through the usual channels of installing the drivers from the company website and...

    Can OS Temporarily corrupt bios?

    Hi everyone, I just installed windows 7 on a 1 tb HDD. I think the copy I got off dreamspark at school might have been corrupted during the download. This isn't the first time I've had to reinstall windows. The thing I'm wondering is, can a corrupted OS mildly mess up the bios? Before I...
