System tools problem

[Tim Walters]

I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC laptop (dv7-3111ea) with Windows 7
Home Premium OA. My anti-virus program is Kaspersky and it's up-to-date.
About a week ago, I restarted the computer routinely - just to clear out the
memory - but afterwards it was now super slow. I tried restarting again and,
after an hour's wait, I gave up and shut down. On starting up again, the
computer's speed was much better but I didn't feel things were as they
should be. I had recently created a restore point, and I decided restore to
it. Afterwards everything was now better but Windows Live Mail was now
grouping messages automatically. (I had never chosen this option.)

Thinking there might still be something wrong, I decided to buy a caddy and
blank internal HD to clone my laptop HD (prior to restoring to an earlier
point) but my computer does not detect the blank HD. What's more, I tried to
find all my drives through Accessories (System Tools), expecting to see that
old black-and-white rectangle with the drive partitions indicated, but the
feature doesn't seem to be there at all.

Can anyone suggest what problem I might have?

Thanks.

Are you looking in the right place?

Start > Control Panel > System & Security > Admin Tools: Create & Format
hard disc partitions.

Or .....

Start > Admin Tools > Computer Management: Disc Management.

Or .....

Start > Computer > Right Click Computer folder > Manage: Disc management.

That's the one you want.

Have you created a partition, formatted, and assigned a drive letter?
In other words, have you visited "diskmgmt.msc" ?

Seriously, there are plenty of real newsreaders out there; there's no
excuse for using a Microsoft Live mess-maker. Or if the PP must,
then he should do manual editing to correct the errors introduced by
his chosen news software.

It was foisted upon them by an update. If it is that annoying to you, block
posts made by Windows Live 15.

My technique is similar to what you suggest. If I can't easily untangle
the quotes from the new content, I just click on "next post"

I clearly insert a horizontal line between quoted text and my reply to
separate them. If you can't see that, then maybe you need to get a pair of

You can also delete the Windows Live 2011 that the update installed and
re-install Windows Live version 14 like I (and others) have done. It's
available here:

http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/windows-live-mail.html

Your folders and settings are not deleted.

So, what do you suppose happens when someone else using WLM 2011 quotes
you? There is no differentiation between their comments and yours. All
sense of who said what will be lost. Your newsreader is certainly going
to cause mistakes, mis-attributions and misunderstandings.

Not to mention that your response is included with the previous
message's signature, which means that your response is cut off by most
newsreaders.

I did not write the above; you did.

Nor did I write the above; you did.

So everyone else must conform to you, because you can't be bothered
to do it right? I see.

Doubtless you'll also blame Windows Live for the fact that you cant
be bothered to trim quotes either.

You're using Gravity. You're bitching about someone's newsreader while you
