Accidentally deleted Windows 7 during the attempt to dual boot with Ubuntu

Dear Sir/Madam,

Service number: ADMIN NOTE: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >

In trying to dual boot my system with Ubuntu, I accidentally erased Windows 7 during the partition. I bought my system used in a store and now I need a way to get Windows 7. I don't want to pay too much for the support. I talked to a Dell technician and they said for security systems that they charged $120 for each case. I don't know how true it is or if there are exceptions. I'm not quite willing to pay $120 for support, because I paid only about US $300 for the system. If I were asked to pay US $120 for it, I might as well buy a new one right? It is not that I am not willing to pay for support, but if the charge is a significant percentage of the value of the system, I am not prepared to pay for it.

Any help you can give me in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Sun

You can try Windows 10 TH2 by yourself... If you like it then you don't need to pay Windows 7 media and/or to obtain from an unofficial source.

There are always positive and negative comments on versions of Windows. Windows ME, Vista and 8 in particular had the worst critics... In my opinion Windows 10 is a good successor to Windows 7 (Windows 8 was not).

If you don't like it then you can get the DVD on eBay. The restorediscs is probably just copied a DVD to reinstall Dell Windows 7 send. There are debates or no eBay or these sources media buy is authentic or not. The license is tied to the Windows 7 COA affixed to your computer, so from a technical point of view it does not matter where you get the installation media.

    EasyBCD to add Windows 7 in the start menu. Note: after you have installed Windows 7, you should have a folder located in the Windows XP partition named C:\Boot (BCD store) that's what Windows 7 and XP boot build to start with. Easy BCD will list each operating system in the BCD store and also allow you to add an additional OS (in your case, Windows 7) and set the default OS after a 30 second delay.

    I inserted the Windows xp Sp2 disk and press enter
    It load files, has agreed to the license, and asked the score I wanted to install windows on, I got 3 disks: C: D: E:. I chose the C: drive is the main system disk
    He started checking the drive, as it always does
    After reaching 28 percent, he said that your drive is damaged Setup can not continue
    I rebooted the PC and the installation program. I tried to format drive C, but he remained on 0% for hours
    I rebooted the installer again and then I chose the Partition to delete, I've also seen warning but I continued to remove
    After he removed the drive, it took me to the partition by selecting again
    But this time I saw any of the 3 disks but this error in the box "cannot access the disk"(or something like that, I don't remember, sorry)
    What should I do if I press on enter, it restarted the pc

  • This operation requires an interactive kiosk to Windows - error during the installation of a MICROSOFT WIRED KEYBOARD 600

    Hello

    I get the error "this operation requires an interactive window station" during the installation driver for a new (working) Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600. I tried to disable my Avast! anti-virus program entirely to restart my system in selective mode with only Windows running programs to install the keyboard. None worked.

    The selective mode does not work. And Device Manager shows the device with the yellow triangle icon. With the code 28 error. "This operation requires an interactive window station.

    I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)

    Also the comfort curve keyboard 2000 from Microsoft that was previously used with this system can no longer install into any usb port. It only works in the USB port it was previously installed. IM happy that I can still use this keyboard, otherwise I would be even more crazy. Usually, I am not asking these questions, I'm the guy 'tech' at home, and I tried all possible options. This topic made me rage a little, because: Microsoft Keyboard on a Microsoft Windows computer does not work. I mean, what the hell.

    Sorry for the typo I made, the CCKeyboard2000 Im using now randomly constantly through... it is why he was replaced.

    Hi, I want to play a lot of old titles of games on my pc and I am currently dual-boot with windows xp professional service pack 3 copy OEM and windows 7. I have a spec pc enough modern, but when I log in the windows xp operating system I have no internet which worls fine on the side of windows 7 so I can't update windows xp and cannot install an anti virus directly from the internet, etc. Also, I can not play the old songs that I bought and installed windows xp to. There are various error messages that appear when I try to run a game on the side of windows xp, some speak of ram and some are on the charts? A friend mentioned that it would be that iam running an OEM Version of windows xp, or it might be my ATI Radeon HD 4870 X 2 graphics card and I'd be better off with an NVIDIA card? The main games I'm running are Max payne, Worms 2, Worms Armageddon, Dungeon keeper 2, Sudden strike 2, Rise & Fall, Rise of nations, Starcraft, Dune 2000 and Emperor battle for dune and a few others.

  • How to remove XP pro to accidental dual boot with XP Home

    I had to reformat my wife's computer.  It is a store brand AMD athlon 2500 with 2 GB of ram.  It came with a copy of XP Home recovery disk.  I wanted to create a second logical drive on the computer to store the data, but the recovery disc can not do this.

    I used a copy of XP Pro I have to format the hard drive in 2 logical drives here but he installed XP Pro as well.  It is not allowed for this machine.  I thought I would install XP Home Edition from the recovery disk and it would be more to write XP Pro, but it didn't.

    Now I have a dual boot with XP Pro and XP Home, I want to keep I want to delete.  It appears after the MESSAGE that there is an option for home or similar to a GRUB menu Pro.

    I note in 'My Computer' C: WINDOWS and watch WINDOWS.0 I guess que.0 is the installation of Pro as it happened first.

    Any suggestions on how to remove the installation of Pro and leaving the House intact?
