The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by JoshOdom in Microsoft Operating Systems, Operating Systems Miscellaneous, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
I have a computer with three hard drives. One of them contains a working Windows 7 operating system. We'll call that drive A. The second drive contains a backup of a Windows XP operating system. We'll call that drive B. The third hard drive is blank. Using restore software on drive A, I restored a windows XP operating system to the blank drive. When I rebooted after the restore, I booted into the restored Windows XP operating system. The original operating system was Windows 7 and went to the SATA zero port on the motherboard. So even though the XP system went to the one port on the motherboard, it was the active drive on the system. I then unplugged the Windows 7 drive from Port zero and plugged in the Windows XP drive to Port zero. It wouldn't boot. I had to put things back the way they were. Can anyone explain this phenomenon, tell me how to avoid it in the future, and tell me how to make the two system drives independent so that I can use either one.
