| 479638 | 2006-09-03 00:38:00 | Soooo, I was going to partition the one labed "C:" but i didnt because it said something about losing everything like system diagnostics. And now when i try to play music it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly." So, should i go ahead and partition C: or no? | prollematic (11022) | ||
| 479639 | 2006-09-03 00:47:00 | Well not unless u have something like Partitionmagic. Otherwise, you may as well format the hdd. Clearing the hard drive wont free the memory. They have nothing in common. If u want to free memory either uninstall / remove programs or dont run too many programs when the system boots. Or get more ram. Or get ccleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com) If the sound isnt working the driver may need reinstalling or the soundcard maybe dead. |

I think im just going replace my Windows XP Media Center with Windows XP, so how do would i do that? Just put the Win XP CD in the CD drive and boot from it. When it tells you to press any key do so and follow the instructions. Before you do this it would pay to make sure you understand what Silvero has said several times in this thread regarding licence keys. If you install Win XP instead of Win Media you will not be able to use your current Win Media licence key to continue with the installation and will be left high and dry with an unusable computer unless you have a valid, legal Win XP licence to enter during the install. Don't say you haven't been warned. |

Or get more ram YES that is correct but I feel from the original posters comments that they aare confused about the correct terminology and think 'memory' is actually the storage space available on the machine . . . . . of course memory and storage capacity are two totally different things . . . . . . . . . |
