• Cannot perform a clean installation of Windows 8

  As the title suggests, every time I went through the installation, I always find myself with the old windows files and a start-up Win 8 or 'old version' option, I deleted all the partitions on the disk and selected format option (twice now) but every time that Windows 8 installation is complete I am presented with this option.  It's using a disc of Windows 8 full version, not an upgrade.

  How to go beyond that or get a completely clean install?  The old version is not yet complete - is in fact an aborted XP install start-up that has been abandoned.
  Edit - I also tried a reformat with Ubuntu.  The drive looked clean, but as soon as I start it up, it started in the XP installation or if you install Windows 8, it preserves and presents the two options listed above.  I do not understand how a disk partitioned/reformatted it retains these configuration/Windows system files.

  You have multiple hard disks installed in the computer?

  If so, disconnect all except the hard disk target where you will install Windows 8.

  Pure how to install OSX on a Fusion drive and keep the recovery disc function

  These instructions assume that your iMAC partitions or file systems has been damaged and you want to restore to the way most efficiency with fusion drive and the recovery partition, similar to what was built in the factory.

  These instructions work for the iMAC, retina 5K end 2014 version comes with OSX Yosemite. The scores of major drive of the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive has been configured as a logical drive (merger by car).

  WARNING: These instructions here are shared for interest only. Readers to take their own risk by following these instructions. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions.

  This is the target disk partitions, and the configuration that we want to achieve.

  Disk0 is the 128 GB SSD - solid state drive and holds the start of the partition (disk0s3)

  Disk1 is the 3.0 to HDD - mechanical transmission and holds the Recovery HD partition.

  There are two EFI partitions to partition table GUID on both hard drives (disk0s1, disk1s1).

  Disk space remaining (partition disk0s2 and disk1s2) are used to create the disc of Fusion 3.1 to named "Macintosh HD".

  Fusion unencrypted drive

  Here's how we do it.

  • A. clean reinstallation of Mac OS x.
  • 1. make sure that you back up all your data on the hard drive using Time Machine or other means. The following procedure will delete all data.
  • 2. create the OSX install USB, insert it to the MAC workstation.
  • 3. given that us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
  • 4. in the menu at the top of the screen, select disk utilities.
  • 5. turn highlighted the volume of disk Fusion called "Macintosh HD." Click clear to clean.
  • 6. If his success, then go ahead to install OSX new to that partition, as usual.
  • 7. otherwise, if it does not, that means fusion drive has been damaged.
  • 8 follow the instructions below to fix it.
  • . B. Split disc Fusion in the physical hard disks
  • 1. Since us will be operated on the internal drive of the Mac trunk, assumes that we already have boot up OSX install USB drive (see Y.).
  • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
  • 3. on the screen of the terminal type:
  • Cs diskutil list.
  • You will see something similar to the screen below.
  • 4 copy the long string after Logical Volume and replace the UUID with it in the following command to delete the logical volume of the disc fusion (aka coreStorage of logical volume):
  • diskutil deletevolume cs UUID
  • For example:
  • diskutil deletevolume E59B5A99-F8C1-461A-AE54-6EC11B095161 cs
  • 5 copy the long string after the logical volume group and replace the UUID with it in the following command to remove the drive (aka coreStorage) fusion:
  • diskutil cs remove UUID
  • p. ex. diskutil cs remove E03B3F30-6A1B-4DCD-9E14-5E927BC3F5DC
  • 6. at this stage, the fusion drive has been deleted, and hardsisk SSD and mechanical hard drive will be reappear in diskutil or separate records.
  • 7. If step 5 or 6 takes more than 30 minutes to complete, this means that the fusion drive has been corrupted. You can follow the commands below to clear the table to partition the hard way. First command clears the SSD drive, second command erases the HARD drive.
  • The command does not return a response, after 1 minute, press Ctrl + Z to complete orders. 1 minute is enough data to code and erase the partition table on the disk.
  • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk0
  • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk1
  • . C install a new copy of Mac OS x for the hard drive HDD and tested this disk partition hard recovery work.
  • 1. go on diskutil to create a partition called Macintosh HD HDD hard drive using all the space there.
  • 2 do the same with the mechanical hard drive.
  • 3. follow the usual procedure to boot from the installation of OSX USB and install a new copy of Mac OS x hard disk SSD.
  • 4. This will create the correct priming of the partitions, recovery hard drive partitions and PSX partitions hard disk HDD.
  • 5. once the installation is complete, test if OSX may start successfully, but no need to go through the initial MAC OS x didn't put in place that we're going to waste this and do the installation again later.
  • 6. we must now test if the recovery hard drive partition works.
  • 7. reboot for hard drive recovery (see X - by pressing command and R at the same time during boot right after that you hear sound start and release only a few seconds after you see the apple logo and the progress bar for loading...)
  • 8. it is important to test and make sure that the partition of hard drive recovery.
  • D. recreate the fusion drive
  • 1 since us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
  • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
  • 3
  . on the screen of the terminal type:
• diskutil list.
• You should find that we have a list of disk group hard physical volume only, no logic here still.
• 4. you will see something similar to the screen below.
• 5. search for the largest partition on the SSD hard drive, which should be close to the maximum size of HDD to the SSD (121 G, for example) and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk0s2
• 6. search the largest disk partition mechanical forming fusion with the SSD hard drive. This should be close to the maximum size of the mechanical hard drive (for example 3 TB) hard disk and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk1s2
• 7
. Now let's create the merger in car (group alias logical volume) in the Terminal, type: diskutil cs create nom_lecteur driveIDs
• The number of the driveIDs is unlimited, it may be a number of discs, or a number of disk partitions. Always put the faster discs first, for example for our SSD disk0s2
• For example:
• diskutil cs create fusiondrive disk0s2 disk1s2
• diskutil - the version of disk utility command line.
  cs - This calls for Core Storage, which is necessary for the merger.
  create - creates a basic storage group.
  nom_lecteur - is the name of the drive and how you want that he
• appear in the disk utility (not the Finder - that comes later). You can call it what you like; in our example, we named our Fusion table "Fusion".

driveIDs - Here is the Player IDs of the readers you want as part of your Fusion table, separated by a space. In our example, they are 'disk0' and 'disk1', but it may be different in your configuration.
• It is important that the faster hard drive appears first in the command, which in our case the disk0s2 (a partition in the SSD). In this way, drive fusion will use this disk as primary and the cache. The second disc in the command, in this case disk1s2 (a partition on the HARD disk). The secondary disk (HARD drive) is used to store less frequently used files.  Otherwise, the fusion drive performance will be worse that it is designed for.
• 8. you will see something like below appear on the screen:
• Creation Volume logical storage of kernel
• Move isk0s2 storage of carrots
• Disk1s2 of switching for the storage of carrots
• Waiting for logical volume group appear
• Discovered the new group of logical volumes 'DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 '.
• Store LVG UUID: DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53
• Finished CoreStorage operation
• 9 copy to the bottom of the string after "Discovering new Volume Logic Group" using the command + C
• 10. next, create the partition of the merger (alias logical volume) drive named "Macintosh HD".
• In the Terminal, type: diskutil createVolume groupString jhfs cs + size volumeName
• For example:
• Diskutil createVolume DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
• diskutil - once again, this is the version of disk utility command line.
• cs - called the basic storage functions, which are necessary for this arrangement.
• createVolume - this is the command to create the storage area real for the reader who is represented by an icon on your desktop.
• groupstring - this is the long alphanumeric string you copied in the previous step. It identifies the table you created such as getting a volume placed on it.
• jhfs + -the format of the disc. It is Apple (journaled) extended Format, which is recommended for drives with an operating system installed on it.
• VolumeName - the actual name of the volume, how it should appear under the icon. If there is a space in the name, you must put the full name in quotes ("name") or put a slash before the (name Drive\) space. In our example, we made these, naming our volume "Macintosh HD".
• size : this is the size of the volume. In our example, we had a 1.1 TB drive. We used '1100g' to describe what 1100 GB (1.1 TB to base 10). Otherwise, we could have also used 1.1 T or even 100% as a size.
• 11. go to diskutil to verify that you can see this new partition on the list.
• 12. test by erasing all the data from it.
• 13. then you can go ahead to start on the USB drive to install OSX and install a new copy of Mac OS x on it.
• 14. This will allow you to keep the recovery disk feature.
• X. how Prime to recover partition
• Press and hold the command and button R set immediately after hearing the bells to boot.
• Only release it 2 seconds after you see the Apple logo on the screen and the progress bar for the start. This will start the partition of hard drive recovery.
• Y. how-to boot OSX install USB
• Press and hold the command and the optionkey together immediately after hearing the ringing of boot.

• How to perform a clean installation on a Ultrabook using its files of windows 8?

  Pretty easy question answered before, but all the responses that I've seen and I believe, are to have the ISO file downloaded from the store or the disk can he make a file ISO etc...  To which I have neither.

  I just bought a ultrabook and this is my only machine with windows 8, so I won't go buy the digital link in the store just to wipe.  That I'm stuck, it's how to install files on my USB drive and then start a pure install removing the bloatware that supplied with the system?

  As I said, all of the other answers and tutorials seem to assume that you have access to download the DVD or ISO.  Unfortunately I don't have any DVD of the BONE with the ultrabook that would be of help.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Assuming that you have a valid product key to retail for Windows 8, it is possible.

  Go to this link to download the ISO using your retail product key: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

  ISO downloaded will be consistent with the architecture of the computer you use to download, IE x 64 iso downloads only on a 64-bit OS x.

  After downloading, the installation program will ask you to save the ISO file on a usb port which make a bootable USB key.

• Migrate data every upgrade since OS9, should I perform a clean installation of El Capitan?

  Basically, this is my question. I feel I have to do some digital cobwebs in the corners of the realm of hard drive that I want to erase but don't want to do it if it will have no impact. Would also like seeing old cache, cookies etc. younder age stuff when I wasn't such that squeaky clean individual removed and start-up costs. Is this a good idea or even possible?

  Me too.  Rule OS9.2 and OS10.6.  I'm still waiting for another decent system.

  Anyway, on your questions.  I'm not a warrior code, but I think there are three approaches for an upgrade or the transition to a new machine:

  Use the migration wizard.

  Clone the original system, then apply the upgrade.

  Start from scratch and copy your data across.

  Some have limits depending on the vintage of the machine and the system.  I tested all three and has not noticed any difference.

  If you really want to go back to use the last option, but you will have to set up all your preferences tool bar and there are a thousand little annoyances during the first week.

  I suggest that you stick with migration and then use something like Northern Cache Cleaner App to clean the cobwebs: http://www.northernsoftworks.com/elcapitancachecleaner.html

  There are also some Onyx but I have not tested, but others on this forum (before it became deserted) used in favor it.

  I wonder where everyone went?  Its been a while I was here.

• Should which driver I perform a clean installation of Win 7?

  I want to do a fresh install of Win7 using a win7 disc I have.
  Need to find the number of WIn7 first, but will have a look later.

  What I need to know, is what drivers do I need? I'll put them on a USB stick before wiping the hard drives. Are there useful to have Toshiba's useful things? Only purchased yesterday and not impressed so will start from scratch without a lot of the junk. I don't want to get half way through so and it will not work and end up with a useless laptop.

  > What I need to know, is what drivers do I need?

  First of all you should always put your laptop model because it is essential info.

  In General, you need essential as drivers: Wlan, LAN, chipset, display, touchpad, etc.
  Also I recommend that you install the VAP (value added package) that is needed to be able to control the FN and multimedia keys.

• How can I perform a clean installation of Windows 7 HP-recovery?

  Hello

  I recently bought a Pavilion DV7-6150eo opportunity, and it came with a clean install of Windows 7. In order to get the correct drivers, and system tools, I would install the Windows HP-image, if possible. Where can I find it on the computer, if possible?

  Hello

  Installation of HP discs are validated by reading a "tattoo" on the bios, so the media since another laptop will not be installed.

  The easiest option would be to order a set of recovery discs using the link below - replacement cost vary depending where in the world you live, but they are generally inexpensive...

  Order HP recovery disks.

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you just want to keep the current installation, you must really check in Device Manager to see if anything is missing or has an error icon you can see that all the necessary drivers are already installed.

  Kind regards

• Error 0 x 80070570 when you perform a clean installation of 8.1 Pro

  I'm trying to do a clean installation of Windows Pro 8.1 and receive the error code 0 x 80070570 immediately after entering the product code and selecting the installation drive.

  The error box says it is related to missing or corrupt files. The disc itself is bad, or the error code is incorrect. If the first case, is possible to get a replacement disk or an .iso image in order to create a new installation disc? If the latter, what now?
