Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

@DH
Brand new asus k55a
installed windows 7 and ssd drive
Can you please explain the steps you took.
You removed drive that came with K55A, and you put in your own new SSD?
You installed Windows 7 from what source?
Did you install all the proper drivers?  (Intel, SSD, etc)

Thanks. Is it better to install the new HD and clone by booting to the PE, or is it better to put it in the enclosure, clone it from within Windows and then switch them?
Bump.

Do you have the XP CD? Reinstall (with a format).
You can use this, if you don't.
