How do I format my OS drive I don't have reamainig more space

My OS drive says I have only 1.36 GB of space remaining on a 222 GB disc how to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows 7

Hello

This should help you.

If you have a Microsoft Windows 7 DVD you bought:

"How to do a clean Windows 7" install

http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-Windows-7-a.html

If Windows 7 is pre-installed, you would have a recovery Partition or a recovery disk to reinstall Windows 7 from.

To reinstall Windows 7 using recovery disk/s from the manufacturer, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the hard drive Partition to reinstall Windows 7 back to the way in which you bought your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

See you soon.

  • What should I do if I want to format my laptop but I don't have the recovery

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P100, about 5 years ago I bought it.

    Here is the story, I want to format my laptop but I don't have the recovery or Installer Windows Vista DVD disc, the operating system is pre-installed when I bought it. I know that I can download all components/drivers Toshiba Support page. But how I format without Installer Vista? I have the vista product identification number, so I wonder it works if I format it with vista ungenuine copy, but key ID I have to run it?

    Thank you very much. All solutions would be very appreciated.

    See you soon
    Wolf

    Satellite Pro P100 is old model laptop and I do not remember if this model was delivered with or without recovery DVDs. It turns out that all the models shipped without installation disc recorded on HARD drive data recovery and computer laptop owner is able to install this recovery image using HARD drive recovery facility.

    Second option was using recovery DVD creation preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator tool. How it works and how to start the HARD drive recovery is described in s manuals that you got with your laptop computer in pdf format. You can also download manuals of this Toshiba support page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

    So what you can do like the first, is to check if can begin installation of HARD drive recovery.

    Otherwise, you must install OS using the Microsoft installation disc. As you already know, all of the drivers needed, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba supports the page.
    Microsoft product key that you saw at the label belongs to the version of the OS pre-installed and cannot e used for activation if you install OS on your own.

    I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Then open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then click diagnose and repair (if you use Windows Vista) or solve problems (if you use Windows 7).

  • How do you format a hard drive with an operating system on it?

    This is actual a fairly simple question, I think compared to what should probably be asking. But on the idea of the recovery discs, I think it's what I excatly. If anything on the idea of format and replaced by reformat. The computer didn't come with any disks or news or have any information. But all CD/DVD discs recovery.

    In addition, when upgrading to this day, is losing usage characteristics. Options to other programs are losing as well. Or more hidden away from the use of the actual program.

    Trying to find info to format the hard drive is not very accurate. Contact support is usually meet with updates.

    Give something to work in the ideas of features/options elsewhere and others, disable or activate is just as accurate as to what it is with or against the options and features.

    Try to work with those who don't, with or without update seems to be best with reformatting later, with a format that is better placed within the use and what features work as installed.

    Help and Support is also in the lack of many topics and listed from the first installation. Online is the only other source of info otherwise. Updated information is the lack of fitness.

    Thus, on the idea of having to reformat, I would rather just format the drive.

    • System Restore and shadow copies. Guests delete you all but the most recent restore point on the disc.

      Use system restore to return your system files to an earlier point in time, restore points. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by removing the previous restore points.

      In some editions of Windows Vista, restore points can include previous versions of files, called the shots and backup images created with Windows complete PC Backup.
