Re: OS installed on system with Two Hard Drives - NEW News

Hi, Bob.

Sorry you're having so much trouble with this. But the thread has gotten so involved that I don't even recall either Plan A or Plan B - even when I re-read the whole thread. :>(

Now that you have the terminology ("system" and "boot" and "Disk 0" and partitions and such), please start a new thread and ask your question again. Please tell us:

(A) Where you are now,
and
(C) Where you want to end up.

Then we can probably help you figure out (B) - How to get from (A) to (C). In (A), please include a concise but complete description of your computer. And for your goals: do you want a single OS, or dual-boot, or what?

No need to recite all your previous troubles again. Just tell us where you ARE and where you WANT TO BE.

As I understand it, you now have a Lenovo laptop with Vista Home Premium installed. (You never really said that as clearly as I just did; I had to piece it together from tidbits that you scattered throughout your posts.) You have two hard disk drives, but we don't know if they are 5 GB or 500 GB. We don't know if you have a Vista retail DVD-ROM - or an OEM DVD-ROM. Since it was a Lenovo laptop, I assume Vista was pre-installed, but you haven't said that, either. Please don't get hung up on drive LETTERS. Those are like shifting sands and can change; assign each partition a name - a label - which will be written to the disk and will be the same no matter which OS is running.

I was about to make a list of my guesses as to your system and your goals, but I'll wait for your clear listing of those. And if I still don't understand, I'll let someone else help you.

Hi RC, I had a little new news is which is NOT very encouraging.
I had a problem accessing the Windows Repair facility so I called Lenovo
Support and was advised that OEM systems do NOT include Windows Repair so my
question is, is their a Plan "C" (I think Plans "A" and "B" have been
exhausted).
Thanks,
Bob
