How to remove operating systems
I had a problem with my computer 4 months ago, and I wiped the computer clean. I then reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium. The problem is that I tried this several times. I just used one and want to get rid of the other two choices of operating system when I turn on my computer. How can I remove the additional operating systems?
Thank you

Do a CUSTOM clean reinstall, wiping all Vista installs dutring the process.
Read the tutorials below:
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

A tutorial on the use of a clean install

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.

How to remove the system idle from dashboard?
Hi all!
Anyone know how to remove the system idle from dashboard?
It is possible at all?
Thaks.
No, you can't "remove them from the dashboard.
You would turn them off (aka set them as inactive), and this would remove them from all reports.

How to change operating system 32 bit vista to w7 64 bit__
- My pc is a powerful core quad but is 32-bit vista running. Ive bought a windows operating system 7 at amazon and want to use 64-bit because I think it will make my pc run faster, but when I inserted the disc it said I couldn't use 64-bit as my current system is 32-bit. How do I - I am 58 and not technical
You will need to boot from the DVD and do a custom Setup to change bit sizes.
Put the DVD in your computer and restart it. If restarting the computer to your current operating system, then you will need to enter your BIOS to change the boot order, and you might be better off getting help to change the boot order. If the computer restarts on the DVD of 64-bit windows 7, and then just follow the instructions on the screen, and 64-bit Windows 7 will be installed on your computer.

How many guest operating system by product?
I try to understand how the OS, I can run on the following products:
-vSphere Essential Kit
-vSphere Standard
Is there a maximum ore, license only material limitation?
With this permit I really need to buy the server vShere?
The essential Kit is a license for three servers and up to 6 CPU
The standard is licensed per processor.
I am looking for a stable virtualization for the operating system prompted with different functions. vMotion, DSR are not necessary right now. We focus on
virtual on servers, machines connected to an iSCSI storage device.
We want to use MacPro because we want to virtualize OS X Server Systems.
This thought with me.
There is no maximum allowed, just the physical limitation. (even if you can't have more than 480 logic by the host processor and not more than 128 vCPU per VM and max 1024 virtual machines per host, see vSphere 6.0 maximum of Configuration).
You can start with the Essentials licenses and let them Essentials Plus, Standard or Enterprise when you need for more features or more guests.

How to match operating system installed with licenses Correct software
I have three laptops and two desktops. Microsoft Office is loaded on each computer. I have licenses for all machines. My problem is I don't know what license accompanies each machine and I am doing a gift of two of the machines and want to include the correct software license. I have the same problem with two operating systems, both professional XP.
Is it possible for me to "look in" each machine and identify the correct license?
I appreciate all help.
If you have the installation media, that is, a way to reinstall Windows and Microsoft Office, I suggest that you wipe the hard drives using Darik Boot and Nuke (http://dban.org/). There is a link "help" at the bottom of DBAN.
If Windows came pre-installed on all computers, you can use whatever mechanism has been provided by the manufacturer to return the computer to its "fresh coming from the factory" State. If Microsoft Office was also preinstalled, you will have to install them separately.
If you do not have something like the above, you run the risk of any personal information on the computer being recovered by one that ends with the machine by hand.
If you want to know the license keys of software installed on a computer, download and run Belarc Advisor--> http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html or of Jellybean Keyfinder magic--> https://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/
(Yes, it works for XP even if the main web page says Windows 7 and 8).
Belarc will produce a detailed report of the hardware and the software on the computer. Of Magical Jellybean KeyFinder is a much more limited tool, but will still provide for Windows and Office product keys.
For Windows pre-installed, however, the product key that is returned by one of these tools is one used by the manufacturer at the factory. If Windows has to be reinstalled using a CD which is the same version as the pre-installed version (e.g., XP Edition family), the product key that should be used is on the sticker affixed to the computer COST.
For some versions of Windows non-detaillants tools will return a fake license key. The following example comes from a facility of the license Volume (VLK) key.
Microsoft - Windows 7 Professional (x 64) 55041-033-3500355-86417 (key: BATH-BATH-BATH-BATH-BATH)

How to remove the system reserve of my computer?
I installed Windows 7 Pro in Windows 7. I used a program of virtual drive to mount the iso of Windows 7. I then install Windows 7 pro. I started out in the 'new' Win 7 and let Windows do its thing updated and which do not. I have a Windows.old so I know that the operation went well. However, when I open the computer, he showed my C drive and an extra drive that I have 'E', but he also showed the system reserve partition drive. I know that this is part of the startup procedure so I know not, I can't delete it, but how do I remove it from my computer, where it shows all the readers of mjy? It wasn't until I reinstalled Windows (by that I mean the partition was there but does not in the window of the computer).
To my knowledge, the partition of the reserve of should not be assigned a drive letter so do not appear in the window of the computer. My score is assigned to the letter GHello
Usually system reserved partition will not be assigned a drive letter. However, as you can see the score with a drive letter, I suggest you to refer to the article and remove the assigned drive letter:
Change, add, or remove a drive letter
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter
Once you remove the drive letter, it will not in the computer.
It will be useful.

How to remove records 'system' on every gmail account?
I understand these system folders, I am referring to what may be called local folders. For example, "Inbox". In particular, I am willing to remove the "Sent" folders I have several accounts gmail and Thunderbird, some act differently from others. Each gmail account fills a "[Gmail]" folder with several subfolders constantly. I assume these are remote folders on the gmail server. I can remove all the people, but do not want to. Some of my Gmail accounts in addition to the mandatory "Inbox" folder have a file "Sent" without no right-click option delete and some do not have the "Sent" folder at all. I don't want the "Sent" folder to show on each of them, as it is already featured in my subfolders "[Gmail]". I just don't have ready access to the folder "Sent" system and won't watch it. How can I get rid of him?
Folder - subscribe
Uncheck the files you don't want to see in Thunderbird.
Press Alt or F10, where the menu bar is hidden.

Satellite M45-S265 - how to remove file system WiFi?
This Machine of M45-S265 has Intel Pro/Wireless BG network connection.
The driver installed is only intel Version 9.0.4.39 12\19\2007 datedSo I want to "completely" uninstall this driver from the system.
Go through Device Manager and simply ask to uninstall does not completely uninstall.Because as soon as it updates it will reinstall the same file from a cache somewhere in the system.
So, how can I completely uninstall such a driver of the machine?Can someone answer this for me? Thank you very much.
Hello
In Device Manager, you can check were the WLan driver file has been installed and the way in which it is called.
Choose the card WLan-> properties-> tab driver-> Driver Details
You will see the path and how the driver files are called.
Go to this folder, and then delete it.Good bye

Windows 7 - How to remove the 'system reserved' after installation
I do not have a separate HDD called system reserved in my computer. It takes approximately 100 MB of space, but I never agreed to be installed separately.
Can I format to get rid of him, or even delete or move somewhere? I do not have to reinstall Windows 7 to do this, because it takes time for all the programs to be reinstalled...
Any suggestions of what could be done without having to reinstall Windows 7 new would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know if it's possible. Thank you.
I would say that that keep the system reserved. It is a very convenient tool created by MS in case of emergency
The following link will give you a better idea: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/29fa0858-8971-413b-ba8a-d033aa6dae55
You can delete system reserved partition, but if you happen to remove it, then you will not be able to use the bitlocker feature
