UNIFIED HELP THREAD (Computer Techies PASOK!)

[lil.drummerboy]

mas maganda meron parin seperate..isa para sa os , programs at is para sa personal data kahit may external ka.  para madali mag restore or format. yung sukat sa size depende yan sa iinstal na programs or data na issave. ikaw na maka estimate nun sir.

[Gunslinger]

Thanks guys! Magreformat ako soon.

Ah so I just have to delete the partition during the installation. Nakita ko na din dun sa link sa taas.

Say I have an external hard drive and I keep all of my files in it, do I still need to have a separate partition on my pc? And would 40gb suffice or is it too much?

yup you can delete the partition anytime. you can also resize or make partitions at will during Windows installation bro

I would still suggest a partition on your hard drive just in case something bad happens. at least when you have to reinstall Windows, your other partition, and all the data in it would be safe. you never know...

40GB would be my minimum Windows 7 partition file. more wouldn't hurt, but it would lessen space for the other partitions.

Thanks again computer techies. I've reformatted my pc properly. On to my next question! lol

So I've created a backup on my external hard drive. Dunno if I did it correctly, but I think I did. Anyway, if I were to restore my pc to my backed up image file (I just backed up the image file of the OS, no files), will I just click System Restore / Restore your computer to an earlier time?


Edit: Experience is the best teacher so I tried it for myself. Post ko na rin baka makatulong sa iba. So after you restore your computer to an earlier time, mareretain mo lahat ng programs mo before the creation of restore point. Plus, you will also retain all the files on your hard drive even after the restore point - which is a good thing, I think.

Although I was expecting na pati files mawawala. Since you are restoring your computer to an earlier point of time, sabihin natin wala pa yung mga files na yun after creating a restore point, supposedly when you do revert back to an earlier time, wala dapat yung files. Eh gumawa ka ng restore point, wala pa yung files eh. So dapat ganun. YMMV. Sana may makapag chime in din.

do you have another PC or laptop? just remove the PC hard drive bro, buy an USB internal hard drive dock (CDR-King sells one) and hook this to your laptop or working PC. the laptop or PC will detect your internal hard drive as a new drive. now hook the external drive and just transfer the files from the old drive to the new one

same result parin paps, yes bootable na

[lil.drummerboy]

try this:
-edit your bios,Find the SATA configuration option, and make sure its configured as AHCI. If you're running Windows XP you'll need to change this to IDE, otherwise AHCI is the choice.

 -find the "Boot Order" or "Boot Priority" page. Make sure your usb flash drive is the first boot priority

Guys I need help regarding my father's laptop. Ito situation:

Laptop condition:
-Laptop is Dell.
-When the problem happened, the current OS is an orig Windows 7 starter
-The original dvd of the OS is currently in our home in the province.
-When I turn it on, it says "Boot Manager is missing."
-For a few minutes, the laptop would automatically turn off even if I've done nothing or even if I try to enter the "setup" screen where you can see details/settings about the computer even before startup. Pero wala akong ginalaw sa settings.
-A friend of mine who knows about computers more than I do said that maybe it turned off because of heat and needs fan replacement.

Actions taken:
-I decided I'll just buy a pirated copy of windows 7 just to repair startup and to overcome the "boot mgr is missing" problem.
-When I used the pirated dvd, it says that it cannot repair startup, so I decided I would just install the OS. Thankfully the installation was completed.
-Then, it suddenly turned off. I kept turning it on but everytime I do, it automatically turned off again.
-I decided to let it "cool" and just leave it alone for a couple of hours. After that, I turned it on and I can log on and use it perfectly for maybe 15-20mins or so. After 15-20mins, it's back to automatically turning off again.

Questions:
-Any suggestions sirs?
-Saan ba ang Dell Service Center dito? I'm willing to pay since wala na itong warranty.
-Or, saan ba ang mapagkakatiwalaang service center or repair shop? preferrably sa megamall cyberzone para malapit.

Notes:
-Please note na balak ko rin naman ibalik yung dating license na genuine Windows 7 starter pag napadala na sakin yung dvd or nakauwi ako sa province sa upcoming holidays.

Thanks!!

@jepbueno

i think the crashing has nothing to do with your OS being pirated. yes very likely overheating nga ang cause nito gaya ng sabi ng kaibigan mo. try mo buksan mo lang yang laptop without running anything then run this software which you can download from here: http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/hwmonitor/1.23.zip just click the "download now" button, then unzip it and choose 32 or 64 bit version accordingly depending sa OS mo. tignan mo kung ano temperature.



now open your browser and play any facebook game or any flash based games on friv or similar sites and watch your laptop's temperature rise. if it isn't a broken fan malamang kelangan ng linisin yung heatsink saka yung air filter. or baka need ng i reseat nung heatsink gamit ang better thermal paste, alam na yan ng technician mo. post back your results

[jepbueno]

^Hi! updates

>pinatingin ko na sa technician, sinubukang palitan ang thermal paste, cleaning, try ng ibang parts galing sa ibang working laptop, ram, cpu, hdd. Wala talaga, motherboard na daw yata, hindi naayos. Tiningnan ko ang buong process and okay naman yung technician hindi na lang ako pinabayad.

>May pinatingnan ako dati pero hindi nila chineck talaga yung laptop, hindi binuksa, pero nagsuggest agad sila, may papalitan/ilalagay na capacitor sa motherboard pero medyo mahal 3k daw. Yun na balak ko sunod.

Thanks!

Guys, Help naman, newbie ako sa computers. Napilitan lang kasi maghoHome based nako. Prob ko is lagi nagshuShut down PC ako. I'm sure hindi Windows auto update yun kasi nkaDisable yun.
