    That error often means the hard drive is faulty. Even a new hard drive can be faulty, They are covered by a warranty so you need to contact Seagate and ask them for authorisation to return it. They might ask you to test it first.

    You attribute far to much to the BIOS. The BIOS does not determine how the OS finds the OS or how it designates drive C: The only way that the BIOS may appear to be effecting the letter allocation is the way the OS is loaded from the boot loader. The boot loader is part of the MBR, the very first item the BIOS read from the hard dsik, The Boot loader is put there by the OS during installation.

    All the BIOS knows how to do is to load and execute the block of code that is stored at sector offset xx in the first sector of the first track on the designated drive. The code looks at the rest of the MBR which will tell it which partition to boot from. It will then load the volume boot record from that partition which will give all the information it needs to boot the OS, including the location of ntdetect.com, boot.ini and ntldr wich is always in the root folder. Once those files have been located and loaded, you are well on your way to booting the OS..

    This installation process conforms to the MS-DOS standard when allocating drive letters as it does not have access to the registry nor to it know anything about system drives and boot drive until they are created during the installation process.. On my system the system and boot drive is drive C: but the installation allocates it D: because it is on the primary slave drive. There was no primary master at the time of installation but there is now. If it were present during the installation but was unavailable because it was either full or it is a USB drive which the installation will ignore it, but it will still have a drive letter..

    Letters allocated to these drives during the installation process are kept so you can see why the system drive could end up as something other than Drive c:

    Imagine a situation where you are installing to a completely clean hard disk, no partition att all. You boot from the installation disk but have left as USB drive plugged in. As this is the only usable drive in the system it will get allocated C:

    At what stage does this change as the installation will not put system drives on a USB drive and drives letters allocated to the system and boot drives at boot time are kept.

    It doesn’t. The system and boot drives will get allocated drive D: and will remain drive D:

    The only time the installation will take note of existing drive allocation and the registry is when it is doing a repair install which is a totally different thing altogether than a clean install.

    Forget about MS-DOS, there are so many difference between MS-DOS and Windows XP they just as well be on a different planet. About the only thing that Windows has in common with MS-DOS when it comes to drive allocation is that floppy drives are still allocated A or B.

    After doing a H.D. search onh my PC and having 4 instances of the dllhost.exe found in my Windows folder this is what I found via Answers that work link >
    Do not “End Task” it as there is no way to determine whether DLLHOST has completed its task or not. For the more advanced users, however, deleting the registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\Java VM\MSDebug” can often solve the problem of DLLHOST constantly appearing in the Task List. Finally, if you keep getting DLLHOST errors on a Windows 2000/XP/2003 PC, then you may have the Welchia virus. <<<<
    This is a microsoft dll and should not be deleted from your WinXP installation ,Iam willing to bet removing this dll would cause much more problems than it could possibly fix !

    is another to same end; possibly a litle clearer?

    I do have a wee supsicion too about the hard-drive.. And that has been touted elsewhere (including first ref. immediately above) as being a possible… (HD starting to go down…)

    Bearing mind the ealier problems… I wouldn’t rule it out…

    You’re right, it’s a driver problem.

    The reason the touchscreen doesn’t work is because Windows 7 is not supported on the Dell Inspiron 7737, Dell have not released any Windows 7 drivers for that model.

    You should have checked what drivers were available from Dell’s support website before installing Windows 7.

    Only these Windows versions are supported:

    Windows 10 64-bit
    Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Windows 8 64-bit

    http://www.dell.com/support/home/us…

    Use a mouse if you want to keep using Windows 7. Touchscreen on Windows 7 is clunky anyway because it wasn’t really designed for touchscreens, whereas Windows 8 & 10 were.

    It’s no big deal, just use a regular mouse. I wouldn’t use touchscreen anyway. Who want’s to get smudges & fingerprints all over the screen when it’s possible to use a mouse instead?
