How to change the bootable partition? __
I have 5 Partition on my hard - 2 system partitions and 3 extended partitions drive. I install windows 7 in the 2nd partition system, such as installation of windows 7 is 'disk error' for the 1st partition system. But before windows 7 was in 1st partition.
Now when I format 1st Windows system partition is not to start at all.
So I try 'Start Up Repair' using Windows 7 DVD. I havet find installing Windows 7 successfully, but it cannot solve the problem.
I use ""bootrec.exe/fixmbr ' and "bootrec.exe/fixboot" advance Service Options console repair using Windows 7 DVD. "
Please tell me that I change the partition bootable C: to another drive (for example, D: or e :)).
[When you use Windows XP, I use fixboot
Y at - it such a command or option to do so. ]
Hey Divinemoon,
Try changing the partition Active of C on the second system partition where Windows 7 is installed so that when the computer starts, it loads the appropriate operating system. After you change the active partition, perform the Startup Repair.
a. Open command prompt in Windows recovery menu.
Reference: What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?
a. type diskpart in command prompt.
b. at the DiskPart prompt, type in disk list. You will see the list of drives currently connected to your computer.
c. now type in select disk n, where n is the disk number. In this example, disk 0 is selected.
d. now that correct drive is selected, type in the partition from the list for a list of all partitions on that disk.
(e) to select the partition that you want to set as active, type select partition n, where n is the partition number.
f. now that you have selected the disk and partition, mark it as active by typing the word active simply pressing ENTER. Now, the partition is set to active.
g. out of the command prompt and run the Startup Repair tool. Reference: Startup Repair: frequently asked questions
This should be it.

Equium won't start - how to access the recovery partition?
Hi, my sister has a 2008 Equium A200-1V0 with Vista 32-bit, that no longer starts (probably due to damage of rootkit virus). It loads the BIOS but then goes to black screen with blinking cursor.
F8 does not work.
F2 goes to Phoenix TrustedCore Setup utility. The Toshiba hard drive and a CD-ROM drive are listed in hand and start in the right order.Using F12 I can get it to boot from a Win7 64 bit repair disc that I burned using my laptop.
However, it does not recognize the operating system or any image or restore points (because it is 64-bit) but he will be responsible for command prompt.
To * guest *, I can launch Notepad and when I click on file / open and double click on computer it shows 4 Hard drives as follows:
Local disc (c :))

WinRE (e :)) 1.11 GB free of 1.46 GB)

-15.4 "WXGA TFT display 1 280 x 800> THIS ISN'T MICROSOFT, TOSHIBA, AND GOOD PRODUCT DESIGN.
I really put t know that should do better than to place the Microsoft sticker at the bottom.
This product key and sticker on it's just proof that you purchased the machine with an operating system preinstalled and legal active OS version. This key belongs to original OS (recovery image) that you got with your laptop and it is not a kind of universal key that you can use for the activation of the operating system if you have made the decision to install the clean version of the OS.In General, this key is totally useless. While your computer you've got legal copy and this version, that you can install so often desired. It must not be enabled.
> So my question still remains: can I recover my Toshiba laptop using this restore partition?
If you want to recover using the Toshiba recovery image response is not. Cannot start HARD drive recovery facility.
> Even with a dvd of Windows Vista is genuine, I can't reload the OS
In my opinion you need make the clean OS installation using the clean installation or order original Toshiba Recovery disk on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx disc and install original (already active) recovery image. -
IM now running Vista Home Premium 32. I would like to change the system for Vista Ultimate 64 so I can run more than 4 GB of memory. Now Ive some factory settings if something happened, I can run my HARD drive restore. My question is how to change the Vista 64 operating system, so I can keep the recovery on my hard drive partition? Mayby there is some kind of upgrade cd?
Thank you
Hello
32-bit to 64-bit is not an upgrade
It must be done with a clean installation using a full version ' / Ultimate 64 bit license
Contact the manufacturer of your computer for more information on getting 64-bit ultimate, which I doubt they will always
and microsoft sells more vista
they moved on windows 7
and you are supposed to make this partition recovery disks to reinstall vista

How tio changes the programs installation directory, I want to install? I'm trying to install a lot of programs is always installed in "Local disk C" that low memory space. Please tell me how can I install the programs in other folders such as "Local disk D and E and F. And also please tell me that the directory in which the widows is installed when reached about his memory limit, does windows performance issues.
Win needs 15% free space for proper operation.
Using various hacks registry posted on various sites to redirect the default program installation folder to another drive is not supported by MS and can cause problems.
Most of the programs when you install them have the option for a custom install, where you can specify where / which drive to install, but not all programs have this option. Even if you install a separate drive various files/folders will be written on victory drive.
If the drives D, E & F are separate partitions of a disk, you will need to modify/extend partition in win

How to change the color of pre-rendered screen.
My question is how to change the color of the page that is displayed before a site is fully charged. So let's say I go to a site where the background color is red. Before the end of Firefox loading it will appear as white. Also yes I have known that I have an add-on which changes the default color of YouTube. However the first picture comes on all websites no matter if their background is white or not.
You can try the userChrome.css code or elegant.
Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */ browser {background-color:#f0f0f0!important}
The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
- Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
- Use a text editor like Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in the folder chrome (file name is case sensitive)
- Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window
- Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
- Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userChrome.css.txt file
