  You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

  Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

• How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

  How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
  Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

  How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

  Any correction, automated for this?

  Thank you.

  It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

  Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

• How do I know which programs to take off the windows Installer CleanUp list?

  Windows Installer Cleanup of

  * original title - how do I know which programs to take off the windows Installer CleanUp list? I don't want to uninstall or remove a program that I always use currently__ *.

  Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301 (MS Office only - replaced by the 'Fix It' utility)
  (Note: the Windows CleanUp utility has been replaced by the "Fit It":http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ )

  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
  It was created to correct software installations that failed during the installation process and leaving a bunch of files (including a file name that ends with an extension .msi (= MicroSoft Installer .msi). For example an installation failed MS Office (note I said "failed").
  See: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011185721033.aspx

  Also if when you installed MS Office you decided at the time you had no need of Power Point and chose not to install it. You find out later you need to make a Power Point presentation, insert the Office CD and try installing PowerPoint and it causes an error.

  The tool using Windows Installer Cleanup will remove damaged installation files (located in C:\Windows\Installer). You then install Office and Power Point, once more, as they are not more present in the list of programs in the Add/Remove Control Panel. But at least this time Office and Power Point will install without errors as the Windows Installer Cleanup utility did what it was designed to do.

  The unfortunate side effect of the cleanup tool is when you select and delete software that works correctly you then will no longer be able to install this software because it is no longer in the Add/Remove Programs list.

  Now as to why there is so many files in the C:\Windows\Installer:
  You will find lots of them. MSI files belong to software such as Java, Microsoft .NET Framework software AV, Norton Ghost, file downloaded during a Windows Update session and so on. It would seem that some software will clean up after itself and deletions, this is the file that were in the folder C:\Windows\Installer. Windows Update failure will create and leave the folders and files behind every time that you try to install the update and so you could end up with a large number of files taking up disk space.

  It could also be a lot of files (is most needed) orphans.
  If you still have the original Windows Installer Cleanup utility, and then by using the msizap (msizap g!) command removes all cached Windows Installer data files that have been orphaned.

  Download a FREE program called Revo Uninstaller

  http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html>. It allows to uninstall any program completely, including the files of monitoring programs. works very well, that you should have no problem more reinstall after uninstall this program.

  Just don't allow the computer to restart if the part of Revo Uninstaller asks you if you want to restart now or later. Select afterwards and let Revo finish an orphan looking for registry entries. Reboot after Revo ends.

  TIP: If you still think again your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, healed, twisted, fixed, enlarged, "swept" or optimized (it isn't), readhttp://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.
