  Hello!

  You can create partitions with Windows Vista Disk Manager.
  It s not able to partition with the recovery disk, but you can do it with the Vista tool easy enough.

  Make a right click on my computer => manage-online Storage-online disk management
  Then, you can create partitions how do you.

• How to format the partition Winfows 7?

  I have Windows 7 on my main partition and Windows 8.1 in the logical drive. Now that I don't need Windows 7, I would like to remove it from my PC. But nor removal of partition from disk management does not (quick format) the Win 7 partition formatting works. Now how can I format the Win 7 partition and use it for other purposes. In addition, there is a way to convert the logical Partition primary and vice versa?

  Hi Sujan,

  If you delete the primary partition, leaving the logic, the system cannot start because the main partition contains the MBR file.

  I suggest you to improve the Windows 7 partition (which is a primary partition) to 8.1 Windows.

  Note: You will have to reinstall applications.

  Once upgrade has completed, you can copy the data that is in your Windows 8.1 drive to another drive, and you can format the partition Windows 8.1.

• How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

  Hello

  I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

  1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

  I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

  Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

  Hello!

  The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

  Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
  But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

  Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)

  The Toshiba Recovery disk recreate the original partitions and install on Windows Vista?

  I'm Spanish, but I can read English.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Before starting to explain how it works, I would say follow: first of all CREATE recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Do not forget.
  With the help of this DVD, you will be able to install Vista and have factory settings once again.

  When you start installation of WXP all three partitions appears and you can select the destination for the installation of Windows XP Home edition. If you choose the C partition two others is not deleted.
  Later, when you want to install using created Vista recovery DVD disc HARD integer is deleted and formatted.

  Any other questions? ;)

• After formatting main HD and reinstall Vista 64, it cannot access a hard drives he could access format pre

  I can't access a secondary SATA disk on my Vista 64 installation.  Here's the context: I have two SATA HD in my office.  I use one for the OS and the second as storage device.  Now that I'm done with a format and reinstall, I have Vista 64 back up and running and fully implemented to date.  Now that it is operational, I noticed that I can not access the 2nd HD (the storage disk).  The computer knows that it is attached and it can read technical information.  The BIOS sees the drive, device manager sees the drive, Disk Manager sees the drive, and I have a program 3rd party (Everest) that I use to monitor its use and the time he sees too much.  I can see the size of the disk, manufacturer, etc. but I can not access the information on the disk.

  What can I do to remedy this situation?  He worked before (pre format) without problem, why it is not working now?  No physical connection have changed, so I don't see why it would be unavailable.

• Want to reinstall Vista on netbook but don't ' have the installation media

  I want reinstal vista on my netbook, I have the keys, but not the cd for vista how can I do reinstal it

  * original title - I want reinstal vista on my netbook, I have the keys, but not the cd for vista how can I do reinstal it *.

  Hello

  normally, netbooks do not have a DVD player

  but they should have a recovery partition to reinstall vista to the way in which you bought

  Depending on the brand, it would probably be one of these key combinations

  ask the manufacturer for the correct key sequence

  you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

• How to reinstall Vista 32 bit without disk or restore partition?

  How to re - install 32 bit Vista Home Basic Edition without recovery or disk partition - laptop Presario CQ60? Can I please download the operating system?

  Thanks for this PDF link. It is no longer useful. I downloaded the three files + service pack and I'll have a go at creating the bootable installation media just for the exercise. The product key is readable. The Presario CQ60, belongs to a neighbor, and originally had a 32-bit Vista Home Basic installed but the workshop re-installed a 64 bit OS when it became so slow as to be unusable. I saved partitions with all personal data using Acronis, but had no time to use the recovery Partition before leaving on vacation. The repair shop wiped everything, including the recovery Partition, before reinstalling the operating system. I am pleased to say that the repair shop agreed to re - install the 32-bit operating system so I have now to do something "real". Nevertheless thank you for pointing me to the finger this informative document. It will come useful when I go to install Windows7 on my own PC.

• How to reinstall Vista?

  Hello!

  I need help. I have a Toshiba laptop and a few days ago I formatted with a friend who was supposed to know how to do. We have done with the restore cd that I had for vista, but in the process, we have deleted all partitions. My knowledge is very small, but I think that erase something (the recovery partition?) which was necessary to reinstall Vista because the CD does not work.

  Another friend told me that what I need now is an installation for Vista CD and that now that we have erased all my recovery CD does not work.

  Someone has an idea?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t know what exactly you were doing, but normally you can reinstall the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc. It is a very easy procedure because you only have to make a few clicks. Disk erase the whole HARD drive but that s normal so Don t be to worry about this.

  Alternative, you can use a Microsoft Windows disk. Thus, you can also reinstall Vista, but after that, you will need to download and install all the drivers from the Toshiba site.

• Reinstall Vista 64-bit on the partition C erase data on other partitions?

  Hello!

  My computer crashed recently pretty poorly, and the repair did not work, so I'll reinstall Vista.
  What I wanted to know before I looked at however, was reinstalling Vista on a partition would be to delete data on other partitions. I mean, I know it would erase all the files on the C partition, but what about others?

  I have a 500 GB HARD drive divided into four even of the partitions, and have a lot of files and media on the other three partitions, but nothing of any consequence on the C partition where Vista is installed.

  I'd rather be able to just re - install without transfer 100 s of GB data on mobile devices, as this would not only take ages, but be very annoying.

  Any help/advice would be appreciated.
