2000 laptop 365DX: need to restore but have a restore partition point or recovery.

Hi guys. I have a laptop HP 2000-365DX with Windows 7 Home Premium.   Its so crowded and I need to restore back to original settings.  I had installed Ubuntu (partitioned) all the time and has been very stupid, because I deleted my partition recovery HP tools.  Now, I searched here on HP.com to order a recovery disc and apparently I can't find one for my specific model.  So what I have done is downloaded a file .iso Windows 7 Home Premium (with a good soul on these forums) and I need to download all the drivers for my laptop as well but HP is having some problems now so I can't download them (which is fine that I'm in no hurry).  So, that's all as far as my knowledge goes.  I have my Win7 disc and hopefully soon have my drivers disk.  What I do not know how, it's clear my computer to start from zero Setup Win7 again then all my drivers.  I read that DBAN (Darik Boot and Nuke) erases your hard drive clean, but that seems very extreme.  Looks like I would use to wipe my drive hard if I had to sell my laptop or to erase the evidence, but if that's my solution I'm cool with that.  So, really, I'm wandering what I should do now.  And I really re - install my drivers as well?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello

You can delete all existing partitions on the HARD disk during installation, as follows.

Start the installation.

When you get to the screen 'What type on installation', choose the custom (Advanced) option, and then click drive options (Advanced).

Here you can delete all existing partitions at a time by clicking on the partition to highlight it and then click Remove.

A when you're finished, you'll have just one entry named not 'allocated space' - just proceed with the installation.

Kind regards

  • Need to reinstall but have no software of navigation on laptop, save the file on the other computer USB

    Hi, I updated windows xp with service pack 3 (in order to get Skype to work), but now that firefox does not open, it says that it cannot find a dll file. I tried to run into the mod for compatibility with earlier versions of windows, but it does not help. I guess I have to reinstall firefox but I have no other internet browser on this laptop, so I was wondering if I can download the .exe file of firefox on my other laptop and save to a flash drive or something? Thank you!

    Firefox Setup file can be downloaded onto a memory stick and then be transferred and installed on another computer, make sure you get the version of the computer that you install on not the one you download from.

    You mention Firefox 1.1 which is hopelessly outdated, if that is correct. That you upgraded your computer to Windows XP sp3, you will certainly be Internet Explorer available, which will be a browser suitable for use when downloading Firefox.

    Even if you do not use IE as default browser you probably want to keep it on XP, it will be useful/necessary to make Windows Update security downloads etc.

    What are the versions of Skype and firefox, and exactly what message is given?

  • How to restore a deleted bookmarks folder? I tried several things without success, but have not turned off the computer.

    I tried to delete a file, but must have had the folder highlighted instead and deleted instead.
    Help, please.

    If you've accidentally deleted bookmarks, then use "organize > Cancel ' in the Bookmark Manager (Bookmarks > show all bookmarks) to recover.

    Hold the button is the first of three buttons next to the back and forward buttons on the toolbar in the library (Bookmark Manager).

    If you have forgotten the password for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple supports

    If you have a backup that was made so that you have a RESTRICTION password enabled, you cannot restore this backup because you re - will just access code that you don't remember.

    I have a new Dell with Windows 7 laptop. To work from home, I use a program of remote access that will not work with 64 bit but needs 32. I have been informed that I need to buy Windows Vista. Is this really necessary?

    Thank you.

    Hello Lyndaware,

    Thank you for your message.  64-bit operating systems will be run 32-bit applications, however, you might have been told that your application is compatible with Windows 7.  I would advise that you check with your IT support to get better clarification of why you need Windows Vista.  For now, Microsoft sold more Vista, but you may be able to find a copy online or through your local dealer.
