How do I delite ubuntu 9.10 and install windows 7 (I have 1 hard drive)

Hello

I installed ubuntu 9.10 and now I want to install windows 7. But when I insert the cd and use the startup program, that I fell into the Windows 7 Installer. Then, I want to install and Windows tell me that it cannot be installed if the drive is not NTFS or something like that. Then who will help if I do like this:

There is a step in the installation process of Windows that asks you what drive/partition you want to install windows on... Just delete the partition that has ubuntu installed on it, or just delete all partitions if you want... Then you can format the drive and create a new partition to install Windows on... If you can not do this as well better you start thinking your PC to someone who knows how.

Sorry for the bad English.

I have only a hard drive!

Please help and thank you.

  • How to install windows 7 on an external HARD drive (or alternative?)

    Hello

    So I have a MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2013) with 128 GB SSD and 4 GB of RAM running OS X El Capitan. I would like to install Windows 7 as a secondary OS, I did that the 128 GB SSD, I don't have a lot of room to play to have 2 OS on a single disc. So I was wondering if you can optionally install Windows on external drive USB secondary.

    I've read about people with the Macbook Pro who did this through the installation of Windows on their main drive and then Exchange this one at the port of superdrive, but as I look, none of this is possible.

    If this is not possible, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how this can be achieved, but without wasting a lot of space, perhaps using VM Virtual Box or an alternative?

    Thank you

    Ben

    The MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2013) - technical specifications, you have a Thunderbolt port. Find a TB external drive and install Windows. You cannot use USB/FW drives. Cloning of third party software may operate, but you must be aware of Windows licenses.

  • How to install Windows XP on the new hard drive after an old crashed?

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

    Hello

    You uninstall not she, you reinstall Vista on top of it

    You have the Vista DVD, so do a clean install with it.

    As Vista is pre-installed you will need probably not the Producr Key that is on the sticker on your laptop if you use of the manufacturer provided recovery disk

    If you need it, insert the product key from the sticker on the laptop case

    Boot from the Vista DVD and follow the instructions of the manufacturer.

    Make sure that the CD / DVD Drive (optical drive) is the 1st in the boot order.

  • Dell Inspiron 3520 - hard drive failure - how to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive

    I bought Dell Inspiron 3520. My hard drive has stopped working completely. It was stated as dead hard drive by diagonstic center.

    I have now bought a new hard drive but have lost data and windows 8 preload on the original hard drive. Dell did not provide any recovery disk for Windows 8 pre-loaded on portable hard drive. How can I then install windows 8 / 10 on my new hard drive?

    The .iso image file official 10565 has only:

    • Overview of the House of insiders
    • Overview of the Insider Pro

    Unfortunately, there are 5 editions of Windows 10 and so 3 are missing. If your key is not automatically entered and accepted, it's probably a simple language edition or edition N.

    When Microsoft release 10586 - TH2 - 1511 Version they will probably have an .iso that contains all 5 editions in 1 .iso or alternatively 5 .isos distinct (I hope as the first case that it will make Windows installation much easier).

  • How to run windows 7 on the laptop already installed windows 8 from the same hard drive

    Hello

    I use a computer dell laptop with windows 8 OS. I want to install Windows 7 as another operating system on the same laptop. I got the image file on the hard disk in a different partition. I have not found any flash drive or dvd close to home. So, is it possible to make from the same laptop?
    Thank you
    Teja

    You will need to put the contents of the ISO image of Windows 7 on a DVD/Flash drive file and start, but after that you can install it on the same hard drive.  You could take little space and divide your hard drive into multiple partitions and install on one of them, or you can create a virtual hard disk (VHD) file and install on that.

    I wrote about the VHD method on my site back when Windows 8 came out first, but it works backwards too.

  • How to install and boot Windows xp on an external hard drive (USB)?

    Can you please help on above question?

    UBCD (Universal Boot CD) might be a good candidate.  It creates an ISO file with a fully functional version of XP that you can burn to a CD, and then copy them to an external drive.  You can download http://www.download.com .  Be aware that you will need a XP SP1 or disc to create the ISO installation file later.

    Good luck.
