  • deleted windows partition

    can someone please. I have a pavilion g6 and accdiently remove the windows partition of my hard drive to try the Ubuntu operating system. After many problems and compatibility issues, I would like to recover the partition I deleted by mistake

    is there a way I can download the score and some how to install it on Ubuntu? I have by mistake deleted the partition and want to make this operating system Ubuntu to Windows can someone please help? I have a Budget of 0 to money $

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • 0xc000000e error on Windows after Partition resize

    Hi guys,.

    Had to deal with this problem for the last two days and I've scoured these forums here and elsewhere try to find a solution but no luck. I think I'm pretty close, but need help.

    I had a bootcamp installation, to roughly a 50-50 share on my disk space for windows 10 and OSX El Capitan.

    I decided to cut my OSX partition, so I could create shared partition in exFat to save the files that I want to access between OSs. I thought it would be a cleaner solution than to use a 3rd party OSX app for read/write NTFS volumes.

    Resize is well spent, created the new partition and later went to start Windows and received the error startup 0xc000000e.

    Here's what I know:

    1. Windows appears in "Startup disk" in public services.
    2. Windows appears in the start menu when you hold the ALT key when you start.
    3. The NTFS Volume seems to be intact, and I can access the files.

    IM new to OSX and have been a big user of windows for many years, although go deep into OSX or Linux is alien to me.

    I created a bootable windows usb key and went into the Startup Repair, sailing to the NTFS volume run bootrec orders.

    When you run BCD rebuild it searched OSs and found my installation of windows, but when you are trying to add to the MBR I get the error "the requested system device is not found."

    I deleted the partition and extend partition OSX to return to where it was before that the question arose in the hope that setting the table to partition back the way that you can solve the problem. There is, unfortunately, no.

    Here is the output current of diskutil and fdisk and gpt - vv command.

    I tried a lot of other things that I could find on this forum, but nothing helped.

    Thank you very much to all those who can help me with this

    I don't want to have to do a complete reinstallation and can't imagine that would be necessary given all the files are accessible, as I have a lot of software needed for where I work, software CAD etc and it would be difficult to get all those configured correctly again.

    The PC is a Macbook Pro 15 "2015

  • Is it safe to delete the partition OSXRESERVED? because it is still there after the installation of windows 10

    I recently got a MacBook Pro 15 "2015 model retina running MacOSX 10.11.5 El Capitan.

    My steps for installing Windows 8.1:

    Create a. ISO file from DVD installation disc and save it. ISO on a USB Flash drive.

    run bootcamp and run the. Location of the ISO on the usb flash drive.

    The SSD partition

    and then it reboot and the windows installer is on and I finish installing Windows 8.1

    then the program to install bootcamp drivers intervenes and installs the drivers

    then it restarts and I upgraded towing 10 Windows later and update the bootcamp drivers

    Then I start to Mac OS X, but the OSXRESERVED partition is still there.

    And when I restart by pressing the option key, I see 1 Macintosh HD but 2 displayed Windows disks

    Is it safe to delete the partition OSXRESERVED?  I read online that deleting it will cause 10 Windows do not to start over.

    Or should I leave it alone?

  • 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.

  • Laptop HP 431 - deleted this partition containing the built-in operating system windows 7

    Dear Sir.

    Manufacturer had given integrated windows 7 operating system that start by pressing F11 at startup.

    At the time of the installation of external operating system through DVD, I unfortunately, by mistake I have deleted all the partition, I think, I deleted this partition containing BONES embedded in the hard drive.

    Now, I'm ready to install the operating system integrated by pressing F11, but it works not.

    Please give me a directive, how can I install integrated windows 7 operating system just like previous from by pressing F11 at startup.

    Kind regards

    Y at - it a Windows Certicicate for authenticity on the bottom of your laptop or in the battery compartment that has the license of operating system twenty-five characters?

    Is there, then you can download an ISO install image and create an installer DVD or usb that will let you use this license key.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Windows 7 RTM Installer deleted logical Partitions

    My computer has two physical hard disks, each with multiple partitions. I did a custom installation of Windows 7 Professional RTM on the first hard disk, deleting an old primary partition containing Windows XP (which wouldn't start). However, after I installed Windows 7, ALL of my logical partitions on this disk had also disappeared. The Windows 7 Installer creates two primary partitions: the big partition I realized it, and a partition of 100 MB system reserved. (It is always not allocated the remaining space on the disk, as the new partition for Windows 7 was smaller than the Windows XP partition, which I've deleted.)

    Former route:

    GiB 250 NTFS (primary)
    100 MiB ext2 (primary)
    3 logical partitions (two ext3, a FAT32)
    100 giB encrypted (primary)

    New layout:
    100 MiB NTFS (primary)
    149.9 giB NTFS (primary)
    Unassigned 100 GiB
    100 MiB ext2 (primary)
    115,66 giB space (!) free where the logical partitions used to be
    100 giB encrypted (primary)

    It seems that the installation program has decided to get rid of my extended partition. How can I recover my old logical partitions?

    I managed to restore the missing partitions to aid CGSecurity's TestDisk, but it took some doing. Always, however, the fact that the Windows 7 Installer has deleted my partitions without asking confirmation is more worrying. That's what I guess happened:

    Disc has 3 primary partitions and one extended partition, before starting the installation.
    I told the installer to remove a primary partition and create a new one in its place to install Windows 7 on. He wanted to do a second primary partition, so she won another partition to delete. He didn't tell me that. He said he may need create additional partitions, but nothing has been said to delete those that already exist.
    The Setup program has installed Windows 7, and my extended partition was gone (so logical partitions inside it were no longer accessible).

    I recommend strongly anyone install Windows 7 on a disk that contains several other partitions to create a partition for Windows 7 in advance (using the management of disks or DiskPart.exe), instead of using Setup to do. In this way, it will not create the partition of MiB 100 extra.

  • Windows won't let me delete this partition?

    Well, I used to use Ubuntu, so I got rid of it using Windows disk management and I deleted the Ubuntu partition on and now I'm trying to remove it so I can extend my Windows partition back to what it was initially even if Windows won't let me delete it, here is a picture of what he tells me.

    Hi McComsey.

    Try using EASEUS Partition Manager, it can remove when your hard drive is not using and put more space in the other hard drive site. But to do restart your PC several times after treatment of partition, and then resize the limit space for bootscreen.

  • Problem Re-partitioning drive of Fusion after deleting Windows

    Hello

    So last night I decided I wanted to do a clean install of El Capitan on my computer. I have two partitions, one of El Capitan and a Windows. Stupidly I didn't read upward how to uninstall properly the Windows partition (using the BootCamp assistant), instead I reformatted BOTH of the partitions on the disk utility, when do the clean install of El Capitan thought, I just re-partition with disk utility, which did not work.

    I then opened assistant BootCamp and tried to do it properly and received this message:

    The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

    The startup disk must be formatted in a single volume in Mac OS extended (journaled) or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows.

    Now, both partitions are formatted as Mac OS journaled readers.

    I'm a bit of a loss what to do, thank you for all of the solutions I hope you might have.

    N

    First of all, you have a Fusion drive? If so, is a part of the score of the merger and the other outside the merger?

    You try to do just a Fusion Drive partition?

  • The El Captain deleted my Windows partition and I can't get the rear space.

    Hey guys. After the upgrade to El Captain, I recently discovered that my Windows partition has been erased for some reason I don't know. I thought it was ok, that I would be re - install again, but I met some difficulties. In the tab "about this Mac" storage, there is no acknowledgement of the 60 GB drive I've used for windows and for Mac I have only 430/500 GB max, which means that the 60 GB is still a stranger in the car. I opened utility disc (image below) and as I thought there is a 60 GB named Untitled drive I can not recover when I try to partition the hard drive. Moreover, as you can see, the drive is not on the left side.

    I'm really new to technology and not great with following the complicated steps, so if someone could help me with this is a simple but effective, way that I would be more than grateful!

    El Capitan Upgrade can cause problems with Windows installed. It may still be recoverable.

    Of / run Applications-> Utilities-> Terminal, triple - click on each of the lines highlighted next, copy each line to help (command + C) and paste (command-V) in the Terminal window. After the release and after editing to remove personal information.

    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.

  • Windows Partition deleted w/Win7 - Win7 are now activated on another computer?

    I have a full commercial copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, which was installed on a partition on a laptop, I have used for several years.

    After the upgrade to Win10 end of last year, the Windows partition has started having so many problems that I've regressed to Win7 (using the tool provided with Win10). But once this has been done, the restored Win7 installation was so bollixed upwards it would not not even start with reliability. So (not needing more) I just reformat the Windows partition and put something on it.

    Now, I want to sell my Windows 7 installation media and key. I have questions about the following:

    1. because I didn't have the ability to disable Win7 on the old computer, will he be able to be installed on a new? Or is the key now considered "in use" until I got disabling?

    2. If the key is still considered as being used, how do I get the key made usable again?

    Thank you!
