First question is do you have a second HDD or second partition on your primary drive? You could look in the windows explorer or go to the start menu and right click on computer and select manage. Once the MMC opens look on the left side and give a single click on storage. Wait for it to load and you will see all the drives currently attached to your system whether physical or logical.

For an Android: I assume you mean when you have the phone connected as an extra drive. I have had that problem and solved it by going to the phone settings and finding the Connect to PC line. Click on it and make sure you have "default connection type: Disk drive" open. I also unchecked the box that says "Ask me" (about USB connection type whenever I connect my phone to a PC).

IF YOU ARE RUNNING 7, go to the control panel then to admin tools and then to the icon that says computer management. When it is open you should see a three column window with three options in the center Colum. Click on the storage icon then click on disk management icon. Now you should see a list of your drives; sometimes a drive may need to be set to active partition. Right click on the drive and choose make partition active. if your drive D: is not showing it is because bad cable or bad drive. If your drive makes any kind of clicking sound, this could mean your drive is nonfunctional.

How do i get drivers and more free memory on my notebook, Thats what it keeps flashing up and im getting stressed ive just got windows xp pro installed after weeks of problems.?
Martin, this laptop is so old and has so little memory, it'll be difficult to get much to run on it. The fact that support for WinXP is over leaves you with little to do with it. Donate it and get the tax write off. Keep the external extras you bought - you may be able to use them. Have a look at eBay or Craigslist in your area for a used PC - desktop or laptop. You'll probably be surprised to see what you can get for short money on a machine that can run modern apps. Look for a a machine that has a processor with at least 2 cores (more is better), 4GB RAM and 100GB or more HDD space. Look for Windows 7 - a 64 bit ("x64") version is better than a 32 bit ("x86") version. Most laptops will have built in WiFi and desktops will have a network connection. You can buy a desktop like this for about $60. I know, because I did this summer. HP, Core2Duo, 4GB, 150GB, Windows 7 x64. You'll be eligible for a *free* Windows 10 upgrade IF you have Windows 7 or later installed.

Windows Installation Disc VS Windows Upgrade Disc -NOT THE SAME-
Having Trouble Booting To Your Windows Upgrade Disc?

...Upgrade discs aren't bootable discs. To repair a windows installation, you must use either a system repair disc or, better yet, a windows installation disc (genuine Retail/OEM discs are pretty much your only option to completely reinstall your windows operating system, unless you own a previous full installation disc of a previously released Windows version (such as XP or Vista), in which case you could install that windows operating system and then upgrade to a newer windows OS like windows 7. however if you ever need to reinstall windows 7, you would either need to reinstall the older windows OS, then upgrade to the newer one.

If that isn't clear, I'll sum it up....

Let's say you bought a computer, that computer had windows xp home edition. Maybe you wanted to upgrade from Windows XP/Windows Vista or Windows 7?
Well in order to switch from Windows XP/Vista to Windows 7, (or even from Windows 7 home premium- to windows7 Pro or Ultimate), then you must either:
A) Buy an upgrade disc and upgrade to the newer desired version.
B) Or, Buy a Retail Copy of the version you want to install. (keep in mind that a retail Windows 7 disc can be used to perform an upgrade rather than to competely wipe the hard disc and perform a clean install (delete partitions, reformat, and perform a new windows installation), if you so choose.

The bottom line is, you cannot Install a fresh clean copy of windows using an upgrade disc. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and Retail Windows Operation System Installation Setup Discs are "Bootable Discs". Windows Upgrade Discs are NOT bootable. (unless one where to "modify that particular disc, which is not legal).

Free recovery disks for hp pavillion zd8000 with windows 7
As far as I know, the original zd8000 operating system is Windows XP. If you have Windows 7 installed, then you need to get Windows 7 disc and its product key. If you need the Windows XP reinstallation media, then you can use HP Windows XP reinstallation disc only (for example: HP Windows XP Professional with SP2 disc).

Hi. i have g41m combo i cant install windows xp...in the last 7 miniutes of instalation the pc brakes... when windows is saving files:S
Hi, you can download a manual and drivers here:

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3500#dl

My guess is that the windows disc is damaged
thats why the installation stops.

Your mainboard can run windows 7.
Consider that instead of the old xp that soon expires.

Hi , i cant install canon pc1230d in windows 7 computer. Thanks
There is no driver for your unit under Windows 7
Workaround :
If you are under Win 7 Ultimate or Pro or Enterprise , you can download and install a free virtual version of Win XP from : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
This is the ultimate solution to ANY compatibility problem. You just use XP mode to do operate your device then go back to Win 7 in one clic where your modern processing software is.
Under other versions of Windows 7 , you need to have the XP install disc to install a virtual version with a third party software such as WmWare Player from

I have a sharp AR-C160...i got a new hp pc with windows 7, i cant get a proper driver for that printer to work on windows 7 64 bit
Hi joeaoun !
Windows 7 does'nt support your unit anymore .
Here is a workaround :
solution one:
If you have the W XP install disc , you can install a virtual version of W XP on your machine from http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
solution two :
If you still have the install disc , you can also partition your primary and install W XP on the new partition from http://download.cnet.com/Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html.
Back up your data first.
solution three:
I have Win 7 on my primary and installed Win XP on my secundary . Works like a charm .

Have a nice day ,
Best regards,
fanaudi .

How do I get my Windows 7 laptop to add printer from my Windows xp PC. Just purchased a Dell laptop with Windows 7. My PC has Lexmark 7300 printer, I cannot get the laptop with 7 to add printer with my pc...
Lexmark do not provide a driver for this printer for windows 7.
The latest version is for XP only.

http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=EN&page=product&userlocale=EN_US&productCode=LEXMARK_X7350#1
You could use the XP as a printer server, i.e. it would interface to the printer, but accept documents from a Windows 7 laptop.
This web page shows how to set up the XP printer as a network printer on the network as windows 7 resource.

How can share printer on Windows 7 x64 with Windows XP x86
