The PC I have that I brought down with me after the school semester is currently unable to access the internet via the router. When it is connected to the modem directly via Ethernet cable it can go online, but when connected to the router it can't, despite the fact it appears to have no issues communicating with the router itself, since the PC can change router settings. This issue accessing the internet doesn't exist with the other PCs in the household. The major thing differentiating this PC from the others is all the others run Windows XP while this problem machine runs Vista. Prior

I finally had the time and read up on your solution, but the problem is I currently don't have the Vista install disc with me, but I can hope to get it in the near future. Is there some other possible workaround I can try that doesn't require the actual disc with me?

Well, thanks, but I think I solved the new problem I created. I figured that since I make C turn into Z, if it was going for the F drive, then by un-connecting it I could use the old C drive again and hopefully regain all those old functions, which worked out. It already set itself back as the C drive and so I plugged the F drive back in but booted from the old one just to be safe. Anyway, thanks, I'll try this ASAP.

Okay, so I tried something which in hindsight was completely stupid, but seemed like a good idea at the time. I figured that if the computer was looking for a drive designated as C, I could change the old drive to another letter (Z) and the new one (F) to C, and then reboot. I knew that when there was no C drive physically connected I'd have to start up programs through Task Manager, but I wrote down the file name (compmgmt.msc) so that I could access it through the browser and then change the F drive to be the C drive. However, the computer is now not allowing me to access it, giving me the e

I recall that when I accessed the files on the browser from WTM the drive was F, or what the second drive is designated as anyway. When I re-connected the old drive, that was will C, so I'm not sure if that's the issue. So I think that's ruled out. Would it be possible (and I wouldn't know, just conjecturing) that however the system is still looking for a non-existent drive, but in this case, the C drive, since there is no drive designed as C when the old one is unplugged? In that case, I should try and find out how to swap the letters for the drives, no?

Hey, I recently decided to upgrade the HD on the computer I recently got, partially because the old HD is running out of space, and is an old PATA drive. I had no issues installing the SATA (a 250 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10), and Vista recognized it and installed drivers. So I then cloned the old PATA drive, then rebooted the computer and made the page file on the new drive and when I rebooted for that to happen went into the BIOS to make the SATA drive the boot drive. No problems, so I shut down, and disconnected the PATA drive. It boots up normally in the beginning and then it takes 2-3 lo

I'm new to bettechie's forums, though I've known him for some time, and finally I've left in a situation where I think I really need help. I did something rather stupid (20/20 hindsight) which I shouldn't, and am afraid I have something malevolent on my computer. Did a HJT scan and here's the log: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 10:04:48 PM, on 1/27/2007 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.5450.0004) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.e
