Mr.HaPPineSS Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Keep us posted. I would have simply removed a single hard-drive and tried to see if the PC booted in that state instead of reinstalling Windows. I am quite a noob at these things. Still its getting installed. I ll try the removal of the hdd, probably once the os gets installed and doesnt work out. Also never really removed and hdd. Never even opened a cpu myself to do anything. I guess the os installation might take atleast some 45 minutes more maybe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.HaPPineSS Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ya reinstalling windows is a pain. Takes around 7-10 hours if using normal HDD.7-10 hours? This is the very first time it is taking me soo long. Last time it was certainly less than an hour. In my old p4 machine it used to take some 1 and half hours and nothing more.

It takes that much time. For 1st time setup. Else it takes 2 hours or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDofWar_skr Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Why so many partitions though.. The more the partitions on same drive, the more capacity you lose.. I prefer single partition on a single drive and just creating different folders to organize my data.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer single partition on a single drive and just creating different folders to organize my data.. One is a 500gb hdd which dates back years. And the other is a 1tb which is a few years old. I try to make it messy if kept on a single partition. Hence I keep a bit lot of partitions to use it easily for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, to segregate data and wall it off in-case of having to format / wipe / clear and to reclaim some space instead of having to constantly worry about losing everything in-case Windows takes a dump or your system gets infected or you just need to save data. Single partitions are only recommendable if all you are going to do is dump data into the drive (like externals). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single partitions are only recommendable if all you are going to do is dump data into the drive (like externals). Yes in such situations, having separate partitions for data & OS would be helpful.. I remember during college days, I would format my laptop almost every 2 months due to one problem or another.. But back then, everything I used to run was pirated.. In the last few years, using authentic windows 7, kaspersky and open source apps for all other stuff, I don't even remember when I last formatted by desktop PC.. I think may be it was last when I added the SSD 2 years ago.. Even the win 7 to win 10 upgrade was super smooth and I retained all my data and settings.. Kaspersky has been doing a great job so far to keep my system virus free.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHA17 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Update! After installing hddsentinal I think it is marking the partitions which are causing issue, so what is the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drive according to the application?
