  1. Trouble using PIN on Windows partition


    I have a Windows partition set up on my mid-2019 MacBook Air. I set up a four-digit PIN to access my Microsoft account upon booting up the partition. In the past couple of days, it's started telling me my PIN is incorrect every single time I try to enter it, necessitating me to reset the PIN by having an authentication code sent to my recovery email and then manually entering it in again. I was attempting to go through that whole process today, but now whenever I try to enter the code that gets sent to my recovery email, it just tells me that something went wrong and to try again later.

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

    Trouble saving voicemail number

    To access my voicemail it is my phone number, a pause and 4 digit pin.



    I did the following steps:

    • Turned off default voicemail number
    • Added a , (for pause) at end of my phone number
    • Added the 4 digit pin
    I get the following error message We're having trouble saving your voicemail number right now. Try again later.



    Any suggestions on how to correct this?

  4. Trouble using PIN on Windows partition

    Vista Beta 2 Installed

    Well first I defragged the drive, then go into partition magic and select "create a new partition" and make sure it is "after c:"

    Then click the rest of the way through the menus, and in the lower left there is a list of pending activites and click "apply" and you will have to restart and before windows boots partition magic does its thing.
