How I removed an operating system in the Boot Options?

WHEN I START WINDOWS VISTA I HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN 2 OS AND I WANT TO ERASE THE OTHER.

Mind you DO NOT post in all capitals.

It makes it difficult to read.

You don't say how you have managed to get 2 operating system installed.

I suggest do a clean re - install, delete the existing operating systems during the process:

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

Super Guide Windows Vista Installation

After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

See you soon.

    Your Mac Pro 2006 supports only as high as Lion unless you use a hack.

    If you want Lion then order a code to download here:

  • How to deal with operating system windows 8.1 and apps on usb device

    Hi, I have a laptop Lenovo G505. Windows 8 64-bit was preinstalled in it. Later, I upgraded to 8.1. Laptop is almost 9 months and still under warranty. Since a few days, built Lenovo solution Center alert this analysis of hardware detected failures in one or more devices. On suggestion of Lenovo, I ran hdtune pro app in my machine and it also detected 3 hard drive errors. As my machine is under warranty, Lenovo is ready to replace my hard drive with a new one. But they say that it is the responsibility of the customer to return the windows 8.1 operating system and install in the new drive and their liability is limited to the replacement of the hard disk only. I am not computer savvy and I request concerned to guide me how to deal with operating system windows 8.1 on external media like USB, DVD, and install in the new drive. I also installed a number of apps and paid games. Therefore, I would like to resume these games also files so that I need not buy again. Assistance in this regard is required.

    Hello Mohan,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    I can of course understand the situation and will be happy to help with your query.

    Let me ask you;

    • You have the key product for Windows 8 or 8.1?

    You can create an installation media (DVD/USB) for Windows 8.1 and re-install when you want. However, in order to create an installation media for Windows 8.1, you need the product key. If you don't have the product key for Windows 8.1, you can not create installation media.

    You can create the installation media for Windows 8 by using the product key Windows 8 If you have. In this case, install you Windows 8 first and then go to Windows 8.1 through store.

    As far as your paid apps (purchased by store) are concerned, you should be able to install them as soon as you sign in with the same Microsoft Account where apps were purchased.

    You can see the steps indicated by Ronnie Vernon replied on 24 December2013, re - install paid apps.

    You can follow the steps below to create installation media.

    1. Run the program Windows 8.1 configuration or installation of Windows 8 (depending on the availability of the product key for the specific operating system.
    2. When you are prompted to run or save the file, choose run

    3. When you are prompted to enter a product key, enter the 25-character product key, that you received when you purchased Windows 8.1 (or Windows 8).

    4. When you are prompted to install Windows 8.1 (or Windows 8), select install by creating media and then click Next.

    5. Select the type of media you want to use: either a Flash DRIVE or a DVD.

    To create a USB flash drive

    1. Click on the USB flash drive.

    2. Plug the USB key into a USB port on your PC.

    3. When you are prompted, select the USB key that you want to use, and then click Next.

      If you have files on the USB flash drive, it will remove them.

    To create a DVD

    1. Click on the ISO file , and then select the location where to save the ISO file.

    2. Insert a blank recordable DVD into your DVD drive.

    3. Burn the ISO of the DVD file using Windows disc Image burner, or another program DVD burning.

    Note: Ensure that the USB or DVD key that you use has nothing else stored on it and has a sufficient free space to download the Windows 8.1 Installer: about 2.3 GB for the 64-bit version.

    You can also read the article below to create a USB stick recovery.

    Create a recovery USB disk

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Thank you.

    How to upgrade my operating system to Yosemite on a MacBook Air running Lion 10.7.5? I don't have 2 GB of free memory.

    Assuming that you previously purchased on the app store and your Mac meets the minimum requirements, unload you enough data on an external drive to free the necessary disk space and update via the app store. If you buy before it and it is not in your shopping list, you do not have.

  • Operating system and the new hard drive

    I have a question:

    I have a HP a4302f - with stock specifications:

    A computer virus has little or nothing to do with a hard disk crash. Please include the exact error messages and/or screens that remains stuck on the computer.

    A 500 GB hard drive at 7200 RPM SATAII should run around $ 45 to $ 70, and the operating system can range from $ 0 to $ 30 depending on exactly how handle you the situation.

    Is that what you had created your HP recovery disc set staff when you first set up your computer, you would be able to return the computer to a factory State even with a new hard drive. Since it does not appear that you have created these disks, you must buy a set of HP recovery disks or disk installation of operating system with COA and product key. None of these methods should work as expected and you will leave with an operating system on the new hard drive.

    You can order a set of discs of HP recovery directly from HP or third-party ComputerSurgeons.com. Purchase of a full blown Windows OS is not really necessary and you can actually download the Windows operating system to use with the key already on the side of your computer. For a hard drive, look at Frys.com Newegg.com, Amazon.com, etc.

    If you have any other questions, please post them here.

    How to install two operating systems on a single computer, xp and windows 7... ?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    For the installation of two Windows OS (called Dual Boot), you first determine what exactly the BONES. Based on this, you can proceed to install the oldest operating system first, then installing the latest OS. Here, in your case, Windows XP first and then Windows 7.
    If you change the order, the latest version of Windows will not work correctly.
    In addition, you can use Virtual PC or VMware to use Windows XP in Windows 7. Windows XP Mode is another version of Microsoft which allows you to use Windows XP in Windows 7 through Virtual PC. You can download Windows XP Mode from here:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/Download.aspx
    To install Windows XP Mode, you must have Windows 7 Professional or higher, with hardware virtualization enabled in your PC (you should check in the BIOS of your PC). If you prefer Windows XP Mode, you don't have to install Windows XP in the above mentioned way. It installs like any other program on Windows 7.
    Note that if you have Windows 7 Edition Home Premium or lower edition, you can try Windows XP using Virtual PC/VMware or dual-boot.
