  You do not have a format to get rid of your data.

  You do a format when you want to do a clean install of the operating system.

  As you all saved, I suggest that you continue on the new facility, then copy your data back.

• HP 6310y can't get the new hard drive to load windows 7

  model 6310y - Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

  My desktop PC has stopped working.  I took it to the local computer store and they said it was the HD.  I bought the new hard drive and tried to install the retail of Windows 7 home premium 64-bit OS.  I got an error Code 0 x 80070002.

  I called HP support... told me that I needed their brand of recovery disks because the motherboard or BIOS would not allow me to install Windows 7 on new replacement HD disks without having their (HP).  So I ordered their... $17

  I bought another new HD and tried to install Windows 7 OS with HP recovery disks.  This time got the 0xe0ef000e error Code.

  I have to mention every time trying to install OS on new replacement HD... He got about 8 to 12 minute installation before receiving error messages.

  I called HP support... this time said that the retail version of Windows 7 OS must have worked and that I didn't need the HP recovery discs brand new replacement HD installation.   They offered me to pay $199 and send my office to fix inclusive it... all.

  Very confused.  I never had something like this before... I had several hard drives die over the years and have replaced the myself and installed all of the software including myself OS without any problem like this.

  Memory retrieves okay when using the diagnostic f9 key... She showed problems with HD during one of my many attempts of diagnostics

  Not sure if it's a bad mother or the video card integrated... do not know how to find either... since I can not the PC market

  It will start at Blue HP screen & most of the time allow me to enter in the screens f9, f10 or ESC.

  Don't know if its worth paying $200 to fix this or go and buy a new one for about the same price.

  any suggestion or help is appreciated

  Thank you

  I had to send it back to HP.  It is a bad motherboard.  They dropped the price a bit to replace the motherboard.  I don't remember how much they charged me.   I'm guessing around $200 - $300

• Can I format HARD drive and reinstall Windows 7 on the Qosmio F60 without CD

  I think my hard drive is faulty on my F60 Quosmio so I want to reformat the hard drive to see if that will fix it. But I don't have the original packaging and the information with me at the moment so I don't know if it came with a windows 7 CD or not. Whatever it is, I don't have the CD.

  I found on the net that most manufacturer who deliver without CD include a "recovery partition" or "factory image partition" which you can access during startup. Anyone know if the F60 Quosmio comes with a CD or if she has this recovery partition or partition image factory? Or do you know if there is a way I can check if my computer is it?

  If you have more information about the formatting of the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 without the CD please let me know.

  Thank you.

  The laptop came with a Windows disc, because there is a Toshiba recovery disc Creator called tool which create the recovery disk.

  The recovery partition was available and it allows you to recover the laptop without the use of the recovery disk, but it does not work if the HARD drive has failed.

• Can I format the HARD drive without losing data?

  Hi all
  I used the restore CD to solve a problem on my system (blue screen) and everything was formatted... including the partition where I had music etc...

  Is it possible to format my hard drive without losing the data on the partition?

  Hi guys

  To my knowledge it s any recovery procedure, you would use; in both cases the drive HARD will be formatted!
  Using the disc using the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure and recovery HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose the data on the second partition too.

  As far as I know both put the laptop and HARD drive on the same State as on the first day of purchase!

• How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

  Original title: the file format of external hard drive is the RAW and not NTFS. How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

  I put the hard drive on an XP and Vista machine and can read the hard drive, but not with Windows 7

  Hi Zling,

  It works on other OS? When did you finally read the disc and with what OS? If you can read the drive and make a backup of the data on this subject, I you suggest to backup the data on the drive and then put it in using the NTFS file system.

• Can I have - 2 operating system installed and running in two partitions of hard drive to my desktop computer?

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (a copy of the license), preloaded in my office by DELL from 20/02/2007. Before that from July 2002, I was with Windows XP Professional Pack 1 with fireplace (a copy of the license of the version DT. 25 October 2001). Because I have to go to another State for a new job, I gave the IBM Office to my friend. But the CD with operating system Windows XP pack1 is lying idle with me. I want to install the same in another partition of the hard disk to present Desktop DELL. I have partitioned my hard drive in the goal - C:\ and D:\. Now, I want to know, before you proceed further - is my scheme is feasible? The two O.S. will work in two separate partitions with regularly updated? I visited the "historical update file" and I noticed that Windows XP Professional Pack2 and Pack3 has been downloaded one installed in the system. I will give you more time using Windows XP Professional if loaded correctly in D:\ because it is more compatible with my professional needs. I invite suggestions from my learned friends.

  Thanking you in advance,

  SONIA.
