Useful IT shit

Post by vladimir »

I installed Windows 7 on my D drive.

Then, for whatever reasons, I installed it on my C drive and wanted to delete the first one.

Cannot.

Unless you download a file called takeownership, which allows you to delete anything.

You can't install an operating system on drive D - it'll never work. Drive C only please !! Wipe out the entire hard drive and reinstall Windows on C.

That's bollocks - you can install Windows on any mapped partition if it has space... you smell familiar.

?? If you have found a way to install a windows operating system simultaneously on drive drive C and drive D, just let him know. That was his original question, wasn't it ? No need to fuck me here !

Your statement (that you can't install Windows on drive d) didn't address his original question, and was nonsense. Reframing it later to what you might have meant, instead of what you actually said, doesn't really change that what you said was nonsense. Also, given the way newer versions of Windows install, drives C and D are possibly not each physical drives, but partitions, so your comment about wiping the whole hard drive also may not be correct.

StroppyChops is correct. Even the way you phrase that statement shows you don't understand how either hard drives or operating systems work.

please feel free to elaborate. Perhaps you know more than me, but if you have found a way to install the operating system as the OP wishes it to be installed, FUCK !!!! just tell him. Simple, isn't it ?

Whether or not you can install an operating system on a hard drive depends entirely on how the hard drive is setup. Windows uses "C" and "D" as letters representing a primary and secondary drive. Most computers only have a single physical hard drive. I have never configured a dual boot windows machine, but I have done a windows/Linux dual boot where I partitioned a single drive (because, again, d and c are probably the same) and had each OS on its own partition. Just because you don't know how to do something does not mean it cannot be done.

OP isn't trying to install Windows on his D drive, btw. He already had it there, then changed his setup, did some troubleshooting, found a solution, and is now presenting it. Then you started saying factually inaccurate things and got all butthurt when you were corrected.

Sweety look ;) this with windows and linux is quite clear - we don't have to waste time with that. We are going into an argument for nothing - pointless. You should show/explain the original poster how to install windows on drive C and drive D simultaneously -that's it - You do that and everybody will be happy.
I personally say that installing an operating system that way is not possible.
Waiting desperately for your input.
