I have :Googled my brains out" and cannot find a solution to turning on system restore. When I open System Properties it says: "System Restore is dsabled by your system administrator". How do I enable this given that I am the system administrator. The Icon for administrator is enabled as a...

Thanks. After reading the 32 vs 64 bit sticky here then I'm going to go ahead and intall the 64 bit version on the new 2 TB WD HD. BTW, it was an OEM version for a Dell (obviously, someone elses Dell!!)

And the reinstall issue? Thanks!

I bought, what I thought was a legit copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 32/64 bit. everything appeared to be good until last night when I got the dreaded "not genuine copy of Windows 7". Yes, I got screwed....I just bought a legitimate copy from a retailer and I am wondering a couple of things: 1) Do...

Thanks...the older driver set worked like a charm....so what's with fubared newer drivers?...doesn't say much good about Nvidia! My next board will be an Intel chipset....sheesh!

Yes, I have the most current drivers installed. ??????

I have tried two model of Sata DVD's on my MSI 750i and get BSOD with nvgts.sys as the hardware conflict. Nvidia's lateest drivers are no help. New Mobo? Is this fixable on this older mobo?

The Samsung OS is C: The WD OS is on D: D: is one of three partitions on that drive provided by Acronis Home 2010. two are NTFS wiht the D: drive containing the OS, E: is a backup and F: is the acronis FAT32 storage for the recovery module.

Thanks for the response but that wasn't the answer. When I pull the WD drive and load setup I get to the Recovery Console which then prompts me for an Administrative Password which has never been set. I hit return with a blank password set and the CMD drops to C:/windows: and the "fixboot"...

Here is the deal..I have a WD 1TB Sata drive with XP Pro SP3 installed. It is slower than heck becasue of multiple applications being aded and removed over time and it now take McAfee over 5 minutes to load. I just bought a Samsung 1TB (32mb cache) Sata HD and reinstalled XP pro. I backed...

Bump: Nevermind, after some google research, it's cheaper to buy a component player so I got an LG B370 which is Netflix ready as well.

Being the pennie pincher that I am, can someone give me a basic setup to run Blue Ray out from a destop PC to my LCD HDTV? Or should I just pop for a componenmt?

Someone actually threw this laptop away because it hung up loading XP Pro. I took it home, added a gig of memory and attempted the XP SP2 install. Low and behold, it hangs up with a cyclic redundancy error so I switched to a new install CD and the same thing. I have a copy of Vista Home...

Yes...SLi. And I did clean the registry.
