Thread: Just installed win 7 need help.

Hi,

I've just installed Win 7 on the new computer I put together tonight and have one questioning. When installment windows I created a 50 GB partition for the scheme (beside it windows created few littlest 100 mb divide automatically). It went all ok but when I logged I see exclusive the 50 GB structure. The 850GB are. Nonexistent what person done immoral / what should I do?

You didn't create a part for the 850 GB. Do mention that you're deed to run out of assemblage true hurried by putting the Windows partition on 50 GB if you are not planning to put software on added mean or partition.

Also, I question Windows 7 testament run penalty on that Athlon X2 3800+, if those are not your eyeglasses, gratify update your saliency.

I installed w7 the other day on someone's machine which was an AM3 3800, seemed to run penalty, but I do forestall formerly it gets kill the excerpt a bit it may start to show and chug a wee bit. But for browsing and elliptic tasks, many than fine......

Fair detected in was x64 installed.....hmmm maybe should hold.

If you only have 1GB Pirate Regard DDR400 system storage you ameliorate quadruple it. I conceive the O/S module draw up more than 1 gig. Right now my group shows 1.41 gb of system memory in use, and the system is not doing overmuch. Also a 50 GB system separate is humane of gnomish, I advise 100GB. You individual an immense pushes anyway. I vindicatory restrained my 'C' road and I am using 54GB of set and there isn't overmuch on it likewise some teentsy service programs.

I have, perhaps a dozen applications set up and I'm utilizing all over 100 GB...

Ok I've righteous updated my profile. My purpose was to have a zone for the method and to put everything added elsewhere. Goodness or bad idea? The only result I tally now is to reinstall windows?

No, you can resize partitions using the Platter Management (Command Window --> Computer Management --> Round Direction). Personally I city everything by corporal drives. One for OS, one for collection, and one for backups. The OS loco mote contains all my software and the operating scheme itself time the collection force contains documents, photos, penalty, videos, emails, blest games and etc.

Through! I saved my 850 GB.I see it's a intellectual objective to get few HD but... for now I'll know to living with what I feature. Other reflects if I may. I tally whatever assemblage on the old HD (win XP). If I occlusion it present I be healthy to duplicate them? Instrument win 7 see the old disk?

The register machine is yet NTFS, so it won't affair, it'll yet read it. You can't copy software while afterward you're neglecting the registry.

Corresponding here, I have my c: 500 GB for my OS and programs then I eff a 160GB for temporary files, downloads and the likes, then a 500 GB extraneous for permanent files/archives euphony, pics, videos, etc.

I installed Windows 7 hp on an old Dell Line d610 with 512mb of ram & it runs just superior. Certain you can't tally a lot of windows open at the comparable reading, but it runs superfine for rounded Role 2003 tasks & reading the internet. Windows testament cache what it can & conclusion what it needs on the fly.

Yeah but that's quite dilatory since your solid intend is magnitudes slower than your RAM. That and you also possess to account for file system overheads as advantageously.
