ever since i had that gears of war trouble with my comp yesterday, my computer keeps playing up a bit. When i try open a big program like cod 6 multiplayer, comes up windows explorer is not responding and it restarts, windows explorer that is, not the computer. And i cant play cod 6, it just goes so slow and crashes. Any help?

hi guys, well my mate came round, and had a play, hes a pro with comps. He said that the harddrive i was running windows off, was far too slow, so he said to install windows onto my biggest harddrive which i have done, which had basically nothing on it, then transfer all my music, files etc from my older windows hard drive to my newer one which is the one im on now, ive transferred the files i want, but i can't manage to format the older harddrive, it still has windows on it but i thought i would be able to format it from this harddrive im on now? My mates in bed now cos hes working tomorrow, but how can i format the drive that has the original windows on? Thanks

Windows 7 has a feature called disk management just go to that and comes up all your hard drives connected and just click the old one and click format

[TheVtrKid]

ye i tried that, i try deleting volume first, says windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk. Same when i try formatting. I found out it uses my old C: and my new C: to boot up windows. I've tried disconnecting drives, booting from cd etc, tried everything. The computer works fine, its just i have a hard drive doing hardly anything now (old C:)

That's the lazy way, a large hard drive filled with a lot of data isn't going to be particularly slow, the amount of process/startup programs you accumulate over time on an operating system that is running is what would be bogging it down.

Formating/clean install is a lazy fix :p.

Reset the CMOS? When the boot order comes up set it to the new HD, once you got that all working just install the old HD and and go back to the disk manager and just format it.

If your system is using both hard drives to boot there can be only one drive C:

Can you see both hdd's in the my computer panel?

Unless you are running the larger hdd as an extended partition of drive C: therefore telling the computer to list it as one drive, but using both would be another reason...
