• Deleted the operating system preloaded PC that has no restore disk.

  Original title: my stupid mistake: deleted operating system pre-loaded PC that has no restore disk. How can I the system works again with the original software?  Please notify.

  I am the original owner of an e-machine model (office) preloaded 32 bit ET1161-07, labeled with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.  4050th AMD Athlon tm X 2 processor.  NVIDIA GEForce 6150SE integrated.   I know almost nothing about the operating system, and while he was trying to destroy the virus, I deleted all the files from hard drive, even those inside what I understand now was a protected partition.  Now I hear the disks with this computer not restore disks, I made a huge mistake delete these files. e-Machines Web site indicates that they no longer provide a restoration for this model drive, but they have the driver files on their website so I copied all the files on a flash drive.  I have a copy of the diskette MS Office Home and Student 2007 that I bought at Best Buy, shortly after I bought this computer (also at Best Buy).  I also have an e-machines CD accompanying desktop, but I realize now it is not bootable and has only a power supply and Acrobat Reader.  I thought that the MS Office Home and Student 2007 would be bootable and include the operating system, but seems not to be the case.  What should I do now?  Help, please.  Thank you!!

  Hello

  You can use a Microsoft Vista DVD for resettlement purposes (borrow one from a friend), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista must be installed. The product key on your computer case will determine which Edition is installed.

  Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit editions different DVD lights.

• Question about the operating system reinstall on Portege R500

  I bought the version of 64SSD R500, and for some reason any that it struck me to check if there was a DVD player to this topic.

  It was rather annoying.

  I know it's easy to buy an external drve to copy software etc on the Portege, so this isn't so bad.

  However, I'm considering a re - install, possibly to XP, but maybe just to reduce the amount of repulsive of bloatware I had on my computer when I turned on.

  Now to the crux of the matter: if I use an external USB drive, I need USB drivers. If I delete the operating system, which will remove the drivers.

  Finally, my question is: how in the name of hell is someone supposed to put a new installation in a R500?

  Thank you for your patience.

  I understand everything up to the point with the bloatware.

  But what I Don t understand is: what do you want with a USB hard drive? I hope that you don t average a USB - HDD (it s a bit confusing). ;)

  Usually, you can use all the drives without the need of some drivers because the machine offers you the ability to boot from a USB device after switching on of the machine and see the Toshiba logo...
  You need only press F12 and select the option to boot from an external USB CD/DVD drive. That's all.

• How can I remove messages from POP e-mail from the server in El Capitan?  The option to delete messages after downloading is not an option of the operating system.

  I would like to delete emails from my accounts (Yahoo, Google, etc.) after they are downloaded.  This option is not available in El Capitan as in other operating systems where it is used in Mail-preferences-accounts-Advanced.  I can't uncheck it to accomplish this task.

  I use 10.11 and I don't have this option for accounts pop screenshot - what do you see?

  

• Re: Reinstalling operating system on Satellite A100 without deleting the other existing partition

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-912 and have not reinstalled the operating system (Windows XP) for several years, but now I think that my laptop works well below par. I have my product recovery CD (disk recovery) and it will use for the re-installation.

  I have three partitions on the HARD disk (c, d and e, respectively).

  I was wandering if it would be possible to reinstall (get as long as the factory) my operating system on the c partition without erasing the data (for example my files) on partitions d and e.

  I did this on a Toshiba Satellite L10 using suggestions in this forum, but I don't know how to do it on my own. Is the user interface for the recovery/re-resettlement is not the same thing, so I'm afraid to lose my data if I proceed with the re-install without knowing what to do.

  Could you please say on how to make the re-installation of operating system only on the c partition without deleting (data on) other existing partitions.

  Thank you!

  > I was wandering if it would be possible to reinstall (get as long as the factory) my operating system on the c partition without erasing the data (for example my files) on partitions d and e.

  No, this is not possible. The recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and therefore the partitions created on the HARD drive would be so removed.
  I recommend you to create a backup of the files before starting the recovery procedure.

• Delete/reformat the drive hard partition (s) to activate the operating system reinstall

  I have a HP 2000 2b09wm. He just broke, gives me the error message saying in that I needed a new hard drive. Suppose the old went kaput (even though I bought this pc on eBay not a month or two before). I have a new HD and a Windows 8 reinstall the software from a dealer on eBay. I tried several routes to try to reinstall the OS, resulting in many dead ends *. I asked the dealer to help, but did not get much. The last thing he offered was to remove the partitions in the new HD. I looked at a page eHow, how to remove Partitions on a hard drive. It is said to get a CD which includes fdisk.com. I burned super fdisk (2 MB) of SFbootablecd.iso and fdisk (40 MB) of fd11src.iso. I went into the BIOS to set the boot order. I put the saved first, CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and tried the two CDs. It always starts with just a screen with this:

  Not found boot device
  Please install an operating system on your hard drive
  Hard drive (3F0)
  F2 System Diagnostics
  For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup

  I even tried to put the CD/DVD ROM USB drive first... same results.

  So my questions to you, I guess, is first of all, why the CDs fdisk is not start? I burn the evil fdisk? Second, do you know why my OS couldn't be installed using the software to reinstall? The guy I got it (http://www.ebay.com/itm/181524428825?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) , verified_computer_specialists, has excellent comments, so I guess that the software is legitimate and the computer is actually original with Windows 8.

  Thank you.

  * A couple of the streets:

  Compatibility report - the computer has started using the Windows installation media. Remove the installation media, and then restart your computer so that Windows starts normally. Then, insert the installation media and restart the upgrade. Do not select [Advanced ICustom] I do a upgrade. [Advanced ICustom] I install a new copy of Windows and deletes your programs and settings.

  Another path to the Windows installation, I get this: select the driver to install: browse folder - access the driver and then click OK.
  It gives you the list under 'Computer' which includes "CD drive (E HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5)" (resettlement software) and below, support records - sources of boot - efi --.
  Simply choose drive E itself, the message appears: load a driver: no signed device not found driver. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK.

  Enter the BIOS and disable Secure Boot-enable Legacy boot, save & exit. Try to boot again from the disk Win 8.

  Reboot, or power on the laptop and immediately after that the Sony Vaio logo disappears, press the F10 key several times. This brings you to the built-in recovery Partition.

  You can reinstall the operating system from there.

• Can I delete single files of Windows 7 Home Premium and reinstall this file or I mess up the operating system?

  I just scanned my system and received the following error report. : (86) QuickTime/QT Sys corrupted executable file for the program, SKD type Core. This file can be uninstalled and reinstalled on the Microsoft Web Site or it will mess up the entire operating system?

  It is a problem of Quick Time. Suggest you uninstall, then re-install Quick Time and not just delete one file.

• How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?

  How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?  I remember on xp, I couldn't allow him to function as a windows 95 or 98, if I wanted to.  I just want my computer works like windows xp.

  So can YER a little confused you explain a little better please.

  OR

  do you mean get W7 to resemble the way XP worked?

  In this case (start base fast and simple):

  • try to set a theme for a basic/classic theme - more like 98 then XP well.
  • Download (AV Control) and then use "classic shell" - menu style old XP.
  • Ditto for "explore classic" mentioned on this site.
  • Set the control panel to use the icons (small or large) as opposed to categories.

  But its still W7 in disguise.

  Is that the sort of thing you mean?

  If so, personally, I think its better to stick with W7 and get used to. I bet you will love windows 8 :)

• How findout if all the partitions have been deleted and now a laptop that has Windows 8 operating system using Windows Vista with a shell IE 9?

  I bought a laptop broken at a friend's House. It is not used for the operating system windows 8 and wanted to use the Windows Vista operating system. Son of friends put in place this laptop for it, which was new when she bought in a retail store. Is there a way I can find out whether all the partitions have been deleted during the installation of Vista? I still see window 8 logo that I sign as an administrator user on this laptop.

  When I log on this computer, the previous owner of the screen name is the only one that appears. I go in Control Panel, click Add another account, then I see the screen name I posted. I could use the WiFi from my PC at home that Win 7 OS.

  When I started working with the laptop, I was able to bring control of the camera. Now I thought that the version that I use does not allow this operation. Be happy with any Positive help with my problems.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Start > type CMD

  Right click on CMD and select run as administrator

  Type diskmgmt.msc

  Press enter

  This opens where you can view the partitions on the disk management system

  Who has installed Windows Vista, your son or friend?  Fact that they create a dual boot environment or reformat?

  http://www.technorms.com/8438/Windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition

  Multibooting requires separate partitions on the hard drive of your computer for each operating system.  To create and format a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.

  To check if a dual boot system in place, start > Type msconfig

  Click on the Startup tab

  You see two operating systems listed?  Windows 8, Windows Vista

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/how-to-change-default-OS-for-dual-boot-system/

  I think that Windows 8 has the following partitions

  400 MB Partition Recovery (contains recovery information dated from before my upgrade)

  • 300 MB EFI System Partition
  • 350 MB Partition Recovery (contains information for recovery of my upgrade)
  • 17 GB Partition Recovery
  • 220 GB of Partition primary

  Windows Vista has drive C and drive D

  Done reformatting refers to a hard disk or partition that already has been formatted or that contains data on it. Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.

  Hello.

  I'm having trouble installing my Photoshop CS3 software.

  I use a PC. My computer recently had a virus and the it consultant all deleted and reinstalled Windows Start program with all updates. My operating system is "Microsoft Windows 7 Home premium 2007 - with updates added.

  The version of photoshop that I have is 'Adobe Photoshop CS3, 2007. I installed Photoshop CS3 which seemed to install properly. I activated the dics and inserted the serial number. Activation complete. I had a problem with the registration with the following message through "a problem has been experienced so he was trying to send information on the internet".  I had a problem with look at a. CR2 file but I got a converter of Microsoft 'CameraCode '. I can use Photoshop software. I can't use a software link with Photoshop CS3 I was using before. It's "NIK software - Silver Efex Pro". This means that on the section "filter Photoshow. Can I use the software, but it does not save the changes I made. When I turn off the computer Photoshop CS3 is deleted from my computer. I got LIGHTROOM but software that works very well.

  The summaries. I can load Photoshop and use and save the changes, but when I turn off my computer the software is removed from the hard drive. But I can't get the link software - Nik software - Silver Efex Pro. Please can you advise me what I should do to get my software working properly again.

  Thank you.

  Once the software is installed, it will not be removed under normal circumstances.

  I do not know if your computer is still infected and it is removed or the problem is that you can't 'see' photoshop' but it is always installed.

  to verify this, check the installation directory and check its size on your hard drive.
