windows 7 crashed
    #19139507 - 11/15/13 02:01 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

im using a dual boot with ubuntu.  I was thinking i can mount the harddrive and delete windows/system 32 and move a fresh one in.  That or back up my files on USB and reinstall windows.  What you guys think?

it comes to a black screen with a pointer.  i would think whatever is wrong is something with windows system 32, which im assuming moving a fresh one in might fix it..  but then again idk if i know what im talking about

You need a CD to reinstall windows if your replacing the hard drive. If your just cleaning your computer just factory restore it.

Im faded atm but if you have any questions of computers let me know, self procrlaimed computer savvy individual and also a CIT major.

Maybe, but probably not. Try to revert Windows to a working state by using the system restore function.

It's possible to download ISO images of windows 7 without using pirate sites, look for the "digital river" windows 7 downloads. The hosting site was authorized by MS to host them but it's not really publicized. You will still need a legit product key.

My system keeps freezing up after being on for a couple hours. The last couple times it did this, it would not even boot into the BIOS screen after restarting. I had to unplug the power connector from the boot hard drive, then plug it back in... Then it will boot up normally, and work for a couple hours. Something is wrong with that drive, but still, that is one of the weirder work arounds I've had to do in a while.

Linux Swap partition is equivalent to Windows Page file.
It's used to store copies of memory that's not currently being used by the system, to free up memory for new programs to use.
If you delete that, the system won't be able to use virtual memory, and unless you have a lot of RAM installed on your machine, that could become a real problem.

No; see Andy's post.

Because GRUB hasn't been updated. You can do this from Ubuntu. Google 'modify GRUB boot menu' or something similar for more info.
