Can I delete all partitions and leave only the BONES? What are the implications?

Hi all!

I just bought a HP Pavilion desktop computer and I want to create a primary partition to install Linux and another to store my files, but I can have only 4 partitions on a drive, and the HP Pavilion comes with 3 partitions already.

So, I think that the only partition required for Windows 7 is the appointed a "BONE", right?

I imagine that if I delete the SYSTEM and HP_RECOVERY partitions? Windows will always start after I remove them?

(I'm more worried about this SYSTEM partition... What is it anyway?)

Thank you!

OK, I was able to create 2 extended partitions and do what I wanted without having to remove anything... Thanks anyway!

    Hey fryebd,

    If the approver has not accepted this agreement, then the transaction would have been cancelled automatically, and you can start with a new process.

    Hello

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    __________________________________________________________

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    Hello

    After that I discovered that other images than the OEM Windows XP Image do not have driver for my laptop satellite M50 181 support, I decided to install the old Version-OEM.
    I had also installed a linux ubuntu, grub as boot loader.

    Kind regards

    Cornelius

    After booting from the recovery CD, you should get 2 options;
    -Standard mode
    -Expert mode

    Using the Standard mode, the whole HARD disk will be formatted. Also al partitions will be erased.

    In expert mode, you may have chosen was the XP must be installed.

    I put t know what you did, but I presume that you have chosen the first method satandard

  • Can you after you have selected a picture with the magic wand just delete the background, leaving only the photo?

    Can you after you have selected a picture with the magic wand, just delete the background, leaving only the photo?

    Or should we use layers to achieve?

    I use Adobe Elements 8.

    Thank you

    Martin

    What is your intention to delete the background - replace the white background transparency or others?

    Keep in mind that if you delete on the background layer (the default name), deletion is replaced by the current color set in the chip of background color as shown in the toolbar. By default, it is white, so if you are selection and deletion of a white background you will end up with white again. If you want that transparency first change the background to a normal layer Layer renaming.

    You can (and should) get the free mp3tag: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

    Install mp3tag.  When you install, let it be added to the context menus (an option during installation).

    Open mp3tag and in tools, Options, Tags, Mpeg do option Write ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1. Those are tags favorite rocket, and once make you it by default, whenever you save tags in mp3tag you will get tags Fuze and respectful.

    Your albums may not be labeled at all, or may be marked in ID3v1, who will not read the "rocket". So he goes to the title, if there is a title tag or file name if there are no tags.

    You can now right click on an album folder and see mp3tag as an option to open it. When you click mp3tag, you'll see the files listed. Put them in order from top to bottom - you can try clicking on the header of the track-number or the name of the header file if they are 01-Track 1. If you can align them up and down, highlight all the and click Dial automatic tools Wizard with the option of leading zeros. Bingo: Track numbers 01, 02, 03, and they will play in the order.

    Sometimes people put numbers to track on the file names and they list in alphabetical order by song title - not good. If the "rocket" Impossible to find track numbers and the name of the file is FirstSongTitle-01 (rather than 01-FirstSongTitle), the "rocket" will play them in alphabetical order by name of file: FirstSong, FifthSong, FourthSong, SecondSong, SixthSong, ThirdSong. Then you will have to put in one of the track numbers.
