Creating a USB boot disk will affect my HARD drive

OK so I have Windows Vista and I did a Windows 7 boot disk on my USB key and before I booted from it, I want to know if he's going to do a clean install / affect the Windows Vista on my HARD drive or will only affect the USB key.

You can install Windows 7 from a USB /Thumb drive, but Windows 7 can not boot from a USB key.

You try to install Windows 7?

    You already have disk cleanup?

    Please use this tutorial:
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76073-disk-cleanup.html

    The Atlantic tutorial has 2 parts:
    Step 1 to 11 is for the classic disk cleanup which will give you back some disc FEPs.
    Step 12 until the end (more), is to delete all except the most recent restore points. This will give bring you a ton of disk space.
    ATTENTION: Make sure that your computer works OK because you delete restore points.
    You have no past point to fall up to restore more new restore points are created.

    After I restarted my computer about 7 times it finally started, so for me to be able to write this message.  However, this problem occurred several times over the last week or two. I get a blue screen, then the computer goes into a splash screen and I get the above error.  Of course, I'm 2 months past my warranty period, so I'm here, GROUND.

    Is my hard drive on its way? Is there a possible difficulty for this seizure completely breaks down?  Information to help save my machine would be great and much appreciated.  Thank you!

    P.S. I ran a diagnostic and all past test except the bootable disc.  But for some reason when I restart a little more time it get passed my system and begins running.

    Note: I created recovery discs and I backed up all my files.

    Hello:

    In my view, there is nothing you can do to repair the drive except to replace it.

    You can run the checkdisk utility and check both boxes.

    Please see the link below for more information.

  • HP Pavilion TouchSmart 23-f202: no boot disk was detected or the drive failed

    On startup, I get the message "no boot disk was detected or the drive failed.

    I bought a new H/D, installed and at startup I get the same message that I got on the old H/D.

    As there was no disc provided with the computer when I bought what I'm doing, had to do to get this sucker to the top and work?

    Hi @Jimmy56,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you had a type "no boot drive has been detected" error at startup to the top, and you have replaced the hard drive and have the same problem. I'm happy to help you with this.

    If replace you the original hard disk, you can use the following to test the hard drive. It is possible, there was a connectivity issue and just re-allocation of places the hard drive could make a difference. Computers HP - display of error HDD before starting the computer

    The most recent hard disk you put in, if not there was no operating system installed, you'll get the same type of message. You could make the same diagnosis of HDD from the link above, just to make sure that the disc is good.

    Please let me know the results, but so just install the original in the system hard disk works, and it starts correctly, so please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

    If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

    You need to duplicate pictures unless you want to use the PSE as external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a library owner, which should never be marred with programs other than iphoto. Written to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the best way to corrupt and lose all the photos it contains.

    So you can either set PSE as external editor and send the photos of in iphoto, or you export photos from iphoto to use them outside of this program.

    Hello. I created a disk image of my mac HD on an external hard drive. It is: my mac HD is used 282 320 GB, backup disk image, I did a 251 gb. Is all backed up? I need to be sure before you reformat the HD and install mac so original. Can anyone help on this? Thank you

    Probably not.

    Need an external hard drive as large or larger than the drive you want to back up.

    You have not said what backup software you are using.

    I use Carbon Copy Cloner by https://bombich.com/ $40.00 there. You can also use Super Duper.

    These two products will make a bootable backup complete or a clone of you existing hard drive, including your recovery partition.

    Once you made the backup, if your hard drive has never been to fail, you could simply start on the external backup drive.

    If you back up because you're upgrading the hard drive for an SSD, you can put the SSD in an external enclosure and clone your drive in the SSD, test it, and then replace the HD when you are confident that it works well.

    P.S. External hard drives are cheap these days. Here is an example: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-my-passport-ultra-1tb-external-usb-3-0-2-0-portab le-hard-drive-classic-black/7869174.p? id...
