    Router or DNS problem?

    Yes, I'd contact your Frontier rep, and ask re those sites. They may have them blocked for security, or Spam reasons, or due to some other commercial considerations. I dumped Verizon/Frontier and moved to TimeWarner Cable after the sale to Frontier. I think it is a losing horse. But I...

    HDD move to new SB build with SSD

    I am not quite certain what you are asking here. Once you have mounted Win 7 successfully on the SSD, click on the Win 7 orb, then type 'disk management' in the search box. Look up at the search results pop-up menu. You will see Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions. Click on it, and it...

    HDD move to new SB build with SSD

    If the old drives are NOT connected while you install Win 7 to the SSD, their OS boot info will not mess up the Win 7 boot information. Win 7 will use any drives connected internally to the computer while it is installing itself. Sometimes, it will put boot information on 2 different hard...

    Changing HD´s (Boot Question)

    Yours is a somewhat complicated booting situation. Some of the boot information is on the XP drive, but some of it is on the Win 7 OSes drive. You need to make a Win 7 system recovery CD for each of those Win 7 OSes, then unplug the XP drive. Next, put the Win 7 recovery CD in for the Win 7 OS...

    HDD move to new SB build with SSD

    No, but you should continue to use EasyBCD on the new Win 7 install, and add the Vista OS and the XP OS to its menu so that you can get into them easily. You will have to attach those hard drives in order that EasyBCD can see them. Once you are done getting your files and data from these OSes...

    First time system builder

    @JeramyRR: just worry about getting the new system up and working properly before running anything other than Windows on it. Make certain the RAM sticks you chose are on the motherboard manufacturer's list of approved RAM. Try running the mobo with the minimal amount of hardware on it at first...

    Changing HD´s (Boot Question)

    You are best off using a third-party boot loader to do 3 OSes, two of which are copies of Win 7. You could try the EasyBCD bootloader here: http://neosmart.net/blog/2010/welcome-to-easybcd-2/ . It has a bit of a learning curve, but is not too diffucult to use. If you read around on the EasyBCD...

    Changing HD´s (Boot Question)

    Are you using the Win 7 boot manager for your dual boot situation, or a third-party boot manager? Plus, what do you mean, you have two Win 7 partitions? Do you have two examples of Win 7 running, for a total of 3 OSes?

    Suddenly ultra-slow PC for no apparent reason

    Such sudden slow downs generally mean either a malware infection, or a hardware issue. I'd scan your computer with your AV app, then use the free Malwarebytes app to see if anything shows up. If not, your hard drive may going bad. You should backup your important files and data now in case it...
