The simple act of a cluttered workspace can negatively impact your productivity. Admit defeat for now.Ĥ hours after I started - blog about it, back at square one.Sophie Worso Save your sanity: How to organise your computer for productivity Remove fancy new SSD and put back in old Intel one. Decide to try and manually create partitions back in GParted and then let Windows 7 try to install. Insert my Windows 7 Upgrade DVD (Family Pack - likely the source of all my pain!) Format the drive, select it - realize that Windows 7 RTM does not create "100MB" partition which has possible side-effect of aligning partition properly (same issue w/ original SSD install I think.). Decide screw it - I'll just reinstall Windows 7 on my SSD.
Yes, that's right - incompatible with itself.ĭo some quick searches and come up short. ()]()The windows recovery disc I burned from the copy of windows I am trying to repairing is incompatible with itself. (This is expected)īoot up my freshly burned Windows 7 repair disc. Success - now, Windows will no longer boot because it's confused. Finally, let Windows create/burn a windows 7 repair disc.īoot into Parted Magic and shift my partition forward a few MB, wait 15 mins, then shift back 1 MB, per Lifehacker instructions.

That's good engineering (Cyberlink LabelPrint). Hmm, it won't let me select my CDRW as my lightscribe will apparently only accept the lowest lettered optical disc drive. Find a label maker software - oh, already had one in some software suite - great.
Wait, no, side-track and test out lightscribe to make a fun label for it first.ĭiscover that lightscribe software service needs to update. I find an answer at lifehacker.ĭownload GParted and install on my trusty multiboot USB drive - I actually already had a GParted livecd on there but decided to throw Parted Magic on there to see what that was like.Ĭreate a Windows 7 Repair Disc (directly from my copy of Windows 7 Home Premium I'm running at home). I recall that I never fixed this on my Intel SSD and that is why, so I foolishly decide to try and fix it. Įverything has gone smoothly so far - run AS SSD and ogle the new benchmark numbers. Side-track to find out why PC basically hangs for 1-2 mins after login and discover it is Microsoft Security Essentials misbehaving - story for another day - 20 mins. This is where I should have stopped - oh what a fool I was to continue. Marvel with excitement at the iPhone-like packaging and eagerly image your old drive (Intel 80GB G1 SSD) onto the new one with Clonezilla - 15 mins and booted into Windows 7 on the new SSD.
