    Why can't Vista see my ST750330AS?

    I tried the Seagate firmware update, even though it was not required, and the utility said drive not found. Perhaps confirmation? I checked and drive did not show. Next day missing drive "magically" appeared in Vista again! Today 2 attempts at a boot went past M$ splash, but never made it to...

    Why can't Vista see my ST750330AS?

    System Restore would not work because I jump back and forth between Vista32 + Vista64. I had a 2 day old image, but bad luck and being lazy put the only copy on the problem drive. I have multiple removable drives in an external box. I keep backing data to 2 drives. I think I'll take an...

    Why can't Vista see my ST750330AS?

    It's FW SD04 a serial check on Seagate's website says no update required. I tried Seagate's Seatools for Windows and it showed ALL generic drives even though I have a 640GB that shows in Vista and the problem drive that shows in the BIOS. I tried MHDD and it only saw my Vista drives (I think...

    Why can't Vista see my ST750330AS?

    I have a dual-boot Vista32/Vista64 EVGA 790i Ultra with 4 internal HDDs. A little over 36 hours ago all 4 were working. I know this for sure because I backed up files from all 3 HDDs onto the 4th (a Seagate 750GB 7200.11 ST3750330AS) and have the logs to prove it. Just a little while ago i...

I use Acronis' True Image to make hard drive image backup's of my 2 os partitions and mbr and have successfully used it to restore the hdd. That was until I used the...

    In a Dual-Boot how do you share the [My] Documents folder?

    When I had just XP Pro SP2 on my pc I easily moved the location of my user's account to another folder on a different physical hard drive from the OS. Now I have Vista x86 installed in a dual-boot setup with an Administrator account and a Standard User account. So Vista now has 2 Documents...

    What is Vista System Builder's OPK?

    That did not tell me much other than I cannot get one. I still have the question if you need one to install the System Builder version of Vista that NewEgg.com sells.

    What is Vista System Builder's OPK?

    I see places like NewEgg and Amazon are offering System Builder's versions of Vista. I hear you need something called an OPK to install it on the system you are building. Is that true? If yes what is it and does it come with the software NewEgg and Amazon are selling? How is it different...

    What's FIXBOOT & FIXMBR?

    I'm not up on BIOS details or even what an EEPROM is hence the question seeking more info if it was possible. I got my XP reinstalled on my Raptor on my newer pc. I installed trial of BitDefender a few times before/after doing the FIX and it found no viruses. Have not used the system much...

    What's FIXBOOT & FIXMBR?

    these last two posts are golden. my tech guy had me copy the latest, renamed, ASUS BIOS update ROM file to floppy. I did it from the machine in question and booted that floppy to update. Could doing that have infected the BIOS or EEPROM thing you speak of? If it could how likely was that...

    What's FIXBOOT & FIXMBR?

    I've already done a TON of Google'ing, and even Microsoft's own pages telling how to use it, and I cannot figure out if I need FIXBOOT too and if it should go first. Maybe it does not matter. Can anybody tell me and even better give a link? Thanks.

    What's FIXBOOT & FIXMBR?

    How do you Delete the MBR? Are you sure deleting the MBR would probably not mess up the files? Thanks.

    What's FIXBOOT & FIXMBR?

    From MS's website I found FIXMBR and FIXBOOT that, executed in Recovery Console, might solve my possible MBR virus problem. I see how to use MAP to help me out. What I would like to know is should I do it to ALL my HDD's? Do I use both commands or just one and in what order? Finally, if I did...
