• Cannot delete the partition with windows xp a clean installation

  Hello
  Thanks in advance for any help.
  I'm doing a clean install of windows xp pro. When I get to the screen to delete the partition by pressing the d nothing happens. I'm sure start out of the cd. First attempt to do a fresh install. Any help would be appreciated

  Hi rlsajs,

  Is it a custom computer or pre-built as a HP, Dell, etc. ?
  Is your USB keyboard? If so, you may need to enable "bios powered" usb in the BIOS of your computer.
  By default, many computers are set to "Operating System" controlled USB which means that your keyboard does not work entirely until Windows has started, and you need it to work before Windows started as you go through the Setup for a new installation.
  Hope this helps and answer back with questions. If you need help getting into the BIOS of your system you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• partition 'Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk.

  I created a partition of HARD drive in order to install a system in multiboot using XP and Vista, but I did mess up the BONES of the two. Now I want to do a clean install of Vista ONLY, but I don't know how to get rid of the partition! * Example: Computer management > disk management > right-click on the volume (M) > Delete Volume * but I get an error: "Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk" can someone help me to get my Vista to original?

  P.S. I have the "Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium32 - bit Operating System Disk" provided with my computer when I bought it new. Thank you! -Jeff

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  Delete the existing Partitions during the process.

• I cannot delete partitions

  I can't get rid of a few partitions I'd for dual boot than my iMac, but I change my mind, I did before this new version of disk utility I'm not a Fan I have all tried and good now I Restore my Mac and it's going to Can I would like to delete the partitions that I have someone hoping to tell me what to do I'm stuck.

  You have a fusion drive?

  Have you tried to boot into a clone of bootable or backup recovery using the utility disc from there?

• delete the partition after a failed installation of windows 10

  Hello world

  How is it possible to delete partitions, if in disk utility, there is no possibility to click on the '-' key?

  So I made a failure (several) attempts to install windows 10 on my new iMAC.

  I could download an ISO of windows and start the bootcamp assistant.

  In the last attempt of last night, I selected the bootcamp in windows installation partition, however, installing windows said it was impossible to read the hard drive.

  I then re-formatted this partition (BOOTCAMP) in the installation of windows, and after that, still could not read.

  Then, I deleted the bootcamp partition in windows and re-created a partition on "unallocated space" in the windows installation.

  Installing windows 10 still wouldn't move forward then I've bailed out and went back to OS X with the hope of turning it back on (again) by deleting partitions.

  I was unable to delete the Mac partition.

  Then, I deleted this partition (the one original bootcamp) and reformatted as OS x journaled. At least now, I can see the Partition.

  However in Diskutil, I was then impossible to delete this Partition. There is also a small partition 16 MB that cannot be erased.

  Wizard bootcamp will be past a pop up station: the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  So I will now try to delete these partitions (the boy and the training camp original one) merge into the original and give then installing bootcamp, another go when I have a lot of energy!

  any help would be appreciated. I'm a little cautious to use Terminal command lines for fear of ruining my new computer.

  concerning

  Evan

  1. your iMac has a Fusion drive?

  2. don't mix to disk utility and Wizard of BC. They can lead to a host of issues.

  3. If you do not typos in the Terminal, they provide much more rich in detail. You have a Time Machine backup, put in place?

  4 can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

• I have windows XP on three partitions, in disk management, I deleted a partition and now I can't boot into the partion, I want to keep.

  I have windows XP on three partitions, especially because I tried to repair my not be able to start. It all started when disk management I deleted a partition, I thought was unnecessary. now, I can't start the partion, I want to keep. Black startup screen says something about disk management cannot find the hard disk of material, something like that. I can start in one of the other partitions, but I want to get back the deleted partition. Windows XP, AMD 64 dual. Help, please.

  Hello Seymour777,

  There is good and bad news for this.

  The good news is that there is a way to do it.

  The bad news is usually the disc at the level of the publishing industry.

  This operation is not in this forum.

  Your best option right now is to look for a data recovery specialist or watch data recovery programs that will do the job for you.

  Best regards

• Impossible to delete the partitions or format C

  I have a mobile shadow Smart Power (a special Aldi 2004), which comes with no hidden restore disc, but it has a much utility and disk etc. drive OEM drive.  I need to reformat C and reinstall XP Home... nothing seems to work - after surfing several hours for a reply and try to all the ones I found!  I can not get an option to format using disk management, because it is grayed out, and if I use the disc provided as a boot disk, I can't delete the partition as it says that it is in use / mounted.  Can anyone help please... as I suspect that the XP disc resembles C and just by looking at him, he believes that it is in use, so it will not let me delete the partition or format C.  I don't know how to get around this problem with the discs that I have... and experience tells me that shadow are desperate for assistance to the user, so there is probably no point of contact with them.

  All I can understand about shadow is that it was an Austrian company which has since been bought by a Taiwanese company and has almost no information available online support (although there seems to be quite expensive telephone support lines).

  You cannot remove or format the system partition (the one where Windows) of Windows.  This is why there are bootable CD installation/restoration of the system, the idea being that if you run with an operating system on the CD, you can do what you like on the hard drive.

  Your drive "OEM", is supposed to be a system restore disk or just a collection of software and drivers?

  If it is a restore disk, when you start from it, it should just restore the computer to its original state, or at least give you an option to do so.

  Can you describe the screens that appear when you start from your OEM drive?

  What happens when you try to save a file in F:\?

  The problem is that even if you delete the partition using Windows, the built-in Windows for partition resizing tool is both limited and turns to the command line only (no GUI).

  Start the disk management tool: start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK

  You should see something like this: http://cid-18b259158254905b.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/diskmgmt.jpg

  Look at the detail for disc 1.  There are two partitions on disk 1, D: and E: (they are lucky to have names that indicate what they are, but this is not necessary).  There is also an area to the right of the E: partition which shows as "not available."  This means that this part of the disc is not used.  If you add the sizes of D:, E: and the space unallocated, you get 186,31 GB because it is a 200 GB HDD ('GB' to a manufacturer disk 1,000,000,000 bytes; a GB Windows is 1024 ^ ^ ^ 3 = 1 073 741 824 bytes).

  If you right-click on an existing partition, you will get the context menu shown.  Click on 'Delete Partition' and it will be removed.  If this has been done to the E: partition in the screenshot, the unallocated space would increase to about 93,18 GB.

  Windows has a command line tool called DiskPart, which is able to extend a partition in the unallocated on the 'right side' space (looking diskmgmt) of the existing partition.  In other words, in the screenshot, E: partition can be expanded to occupy all or part of the 42,61 Go of currently unused space.  If the E: partition is deleted, then partition d: could be extended to deal with some or all 93,18 GB unallocated space.

  If, however, you have a D or E between C and F partition, DiskPart cannot extend c in the space vacated when you remove F.  But maybe D: and E: are CD players.

  However, DiskPart is not easy to use and can make your computer unusable if you do the right thing.  I'm not suggesting try you it unless you have a disk image or backup to disk clone in place.

  Instead, get a better disk management tool, one that can resize and move partitions autour, and who uses a graphical user interface.  The one I used isAcronis Disk Director , which is not free. Easeus Partition Master is free and looks as if it will do the job. Paragon Partition Manager also is a good commercial product and is currently on sale for less than $10.  Partition Magic used the most recommended instrument, but Symantec purchased and then abandoned it.

• Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

  I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

  Found a solution to this problem.

  Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
  1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
  2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
  3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
  4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
  5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
  6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

  Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.

• Windows cannot install any partition.

  I can't install Windows 7 on my computer. I already format all partitions. There are two partitions, but I can not install both. The message error is "Windows cannot be installed to this disk." So please tell me what is the problem? Thank you.

  Delete both partitions that exist now. Then, install Windows 7 to the empty space. Installation/Setup program will create a structure of the disk for its use.

• Deleted the partition using a portable drive now computer part starts, it says: no media present

  Original title: Start-up aid

  Well, then I got the bluescreen 0cx000021c yesterday and got during windows startup. I think it is a blue screen of material, if I'm wrong?

  Which is probably my HARD drive that I got a response from here somewhere, and the guy said it was probably a faulty HARD drive.

  I had to get my data from the school of my pc, so I can send my laptop MSI for repairs. I could not find a way to copy my D drive on my drive externel but tried Diskpart to clean everything first, and maybe put it on the C drive D drive, hoping that I could do a clean install without losing the files of my D drive.

  Now to the problem. I feel really stupid to do so, especially to be a 1st year in a COMPUTER at the College course. I use Diskpart and I accidentally this is cleaned up, and I cleaned my table of partition or something like that. So now all my partitions are parties, I have read that maybe my files still on my laptop just my scores have disappeared.

  Now I can't get to the CMD, at the start of my laptop, it says there is no media and then goes to BIOS. I tried a cd Hirensboot, but he repeats to me without media present I also put on Cd/DVD boot first priority

  Hi TonSchepers,

  You deleted the partition, it would be extremely difficult to recover data. You may need to use some third-party data recovery software to get your data.

  Third party WARNING: Using third-party software can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  If your computer is under warranty, please consider the manufacturer. If this is not the case, try these suggestions.

  Remove the hard drive of this computer and connect it to a working computer. Check if it detects the hard drive. If it detects, see if you can back up your data on this computer.

  Try to format the hard drive using another computer and connect it to your computer and check if detects also in the computer.

  Note: Formatting the hard drive, you erase the data on this subject.

  Hope that the information provided is useful. Do not respond if you need more help.
