How to remove a bad installation of my laptop recovery Partition Win7

I messed up by trying a "clean install" Win7 (on top of my Acer Vista laptop existing) by installation first on the laptop Acer recovery Partition and then try to correct the mistake by another facility on a data partition (in the hope that the installer would be smart enough to remove the previous installation - it was not!).  I was perplexed because under Vista, installing Windows has always been on C:, and the Acer recovery Partition was on D:.  When Win7 installer prompted me which drive to install on the first time, it offered me Acer C: and D: data, I place the reversal, so I just opted for C: and then found he had installed next to the Acer software, so somehow, disk partitions appear to have been involved.

The net result is now I have two installations of Win7 and a dual boot black screen that gives me the choice to start at startup.

Is there a way I can uninstall Win7 since the Recovery of Acer partition (preferably keeping the Acer software stored there, as I want to reinstall some of them later)?

I burn the software Acer on a DVD, and then format the recovery partition.  You will have to boot from the Windows 7 DVD to format the partition, Windows can sometimes be a bit psychotic, but this isn't sucidal.  You are unable to format a partition with an operating system installed on it.  When you burned the DVD with the Acer software, start from the Win7 DVD, choose custom installation and once the two partitions are visible, choose delete the recovery partition, and then re-create.  Once done and back in Win7, you can then copy the back Acer DVD software.

You will also need to change the boot loader, right-click on my computer, choose Properties.  On the next screen, select advanced system settings, and then click the Advanced tab and startup and recovery.  Remove the o/s is no longer needed.

    Hello

    1. we can remove modules after installation?

    Laughing out loud

    2. is it best way to make new facility (Imagine functional is working already more than 2 months, if we do a new installation its average we lose 2 months)

    It would be a new installation or restore a backup to a point before that this module has been authorized.

    3. If we can delete it can affect other module configurations?

    There is no direct way and supported to achieve this. However, you can connect an SR and see if Oracle can help about this.

  • How to remove a bad open and save a file structured fm in unstructured mode?

    Dragon,

    To expand a bit on what said Alex and Russ, whenever you delete the contents of a FrameMaker document and record the result, the deleted content is missing. It doesn't matter if deleted content is the hierarchy of elements or text and graphics in the document. A recent backup, if a version of the file that you have explicitly recorded or created by automatic backup of FrameMaker,

    Alex has mentioned that a conversion table might help to recreate the structure of the element of the document. His comment assumed that a conversion table has been used somewhere in the history of this document. If this is the case, you can create a new conversion table specifically for this document. If you have not yet looked at conversion tables, a conversion table is a FrameMaker table that explains how to use markup in an informal document to create a structured document equivalent. How successfully she creates the desired structure depends strongly on the nature of the tags used in the informal document and the structure of the item you want.

  • How to recover a bad hard drive with no recovery software.

    I'm working on a 4-b000 want Pro.  The hard drive has failed.  I have a replacement drive on the way, but I did not create a recovery disk when the laptop was purchased.  It had windows 7-64 bit on this subject before.  What are my options to get a recovery media for this laptop?

    James

    Hi James,

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a replacement set of support for recovery from the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  It will also recreate the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 USB flash drive Installer.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    Using another PC - just download the correct disk Image ( that it must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - IE Home Premium, professional etc. ) from the link below--the source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Once done, use an application like Rufus to create a bootable Windows 7 usb flash drive.

    When creating, tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the Windows 7 flash player.  Select the menu of Boot Options ( f9 ).  Use the arrow keys to select the flash drive and press ENTER.

    Use the flash drive to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

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

    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.

    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

  • Fusion 6/6.0.1 and Mavericks Developer Preview 4 - installer does not create recovery partition

    I can't get a new facility for the Mavericks by using the last full download available on the Mac App Store (DP-4), to create a recovery during the installation partition. I always find myself with just an EFI and the main boot partition. The recovery partition is required to test the new features of FileVault 2. Has anyone of another seen elsewhere or found a solution? I filed a bug with Apple, but I feel it's more a VMware bug as installer even on a physical machine did in fact create a recovery partition. I tried to change the type of the machine virtual of SATA SCSI hard drive, but that has not made a difference.

    Thank you

    -Mike

    We looked at and we can confirm that the problem comes from the merger, not the Mavericks. We are working on a fix.

    Yes, it but is somewhat limited, I have use Ghost (you would need to buy - see below) or Acronis True Image. My preference is ghost but free trial Acronis will work and there is nothing to prevent you from using Windows 7 backup system and Acronis.
