Ple advice me on it because the window vista is giving a lot of problem. Ple send me reply on: [email address removed] Thanks hoping to hear from u. Hello Leo and thanks for a great article, however it did not address my needs.
The problem I have is that I wanted to perform a clean install of Windows 7, upgrading from my Vista. I assumed that this custom install would format my hard drive, but as seems to be the case instead, is that it must have created enough space on the hard drive to perform a quick format instead.
I am therefore trying to find a way to properly format the hard drive, as I do not believe the hard drive itself is damaged or corrupt, merely that Windows 7 used half of the hard drive space to dump information from Vista.
So what I did was that I of course tried to run the set up program again, believing that Win 7 merely created a faulty partition I did not notice and deleting this partition would solve my problem, but when prompted where I want to install Win 7, it turns out that the limit of my hard drive remains the same. Win 7 does not recognize the rest of my hard drive capacity, and I am at loss as to why.
I burned the. Does this problem with my hard drive relate to what Win 7 calls Windows. What I noticed after my first install was that it indeed was not a clean install at all, as I in fact had several folders lying around that were left from Vista, yet other information such as installed programs were lost.
Hi Leo, I have bought a new lap top with Windows 7 installed so I have promised a friend my desktop, so I wish to format the hard drive, before I give him it. I will then reinstall as I have a Vista installation disc. As I am a pensioner and I hear people saying to reboot from disc, the problem is I do not know how to do it, as I only have a basic knowledge in computing.
Thank you. The article you are commenting on has your options for that. Hi leo! I have perhaps a different type of problem than others. I have installed Windows 8. Please help so that i can make my computer faster, safer by removing XP. Hi Leo,I have a problem with my laptop which is demanding for an administrator password. What can I do to by pass or format it? Can anyone give me a website for a step by step guide to reformatting a Compaq Computer.
I dont however have the install cd but the tower has the product key stuck to the side. What does this mean? Thank You. By mistake, I delete one file from c drive and from that time when I switched on my laptop it will give notification as bootmgr is missing.
No offense intended…. Bill Smithers Volunteer Moderator. There are no legal Vista ISO downloads available. Ask them or us for the correct Key sequence.
With a Desktop it is either on the side, rear or top of the Computer Case. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.
Ken Blake. If you have a single drive C: you have to backup your data to external drive or disks. If you are locked out of your laptop, you can refer to how to format laptop without password. For some reasons you forgot password on your Sony laptop, instead of formatting your laptop, you can easily use Windows Password Key to reset laptop password without losing data.
