Quick background - I don't use the system often, but it has important files related to a family corporation that we closed last year.

I started with 130GB free space. I installed the following: - Photoshop...

*OS: Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit* Dear all, I was playing with a linux pen and accidentally overwrote the MBR. Usually this is easy to fix, but not this time.

A very important detail is that I...

Hello, I have been having the BSOD a few times a week, and I finally can't take it anymore. It always seems to happen at random times and I have not installed new hardware at any point in the past few years.

I'd also read about the not genuine version and even though I had the black screen I was still able to use it as before so no problem. Out of curiosity I thought I'd find out what they were charging anyway but...

Actually files are not lost, I backed them up before I deleted the 2nd partition on my 128gb ssd and than resized the c drive to take advantage of all that space. Didn't see any other alternative cause I ran out of space on c. I had some time in the distant past moved all my user files to the E partitioned drive on my 128gb ssd. Kind of forgot about this. But they were backed up and moved...
