Original title: my child has just installed win 7 but has not removed from Windows vista, how to remove vista so only 7 is running?

Hi Tarf,

·        Are the two copies of Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the partition, or on a different partition?

·        At the start of Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you receive two Windows startup options?

·        Are you able to boot to Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the computer?

You can check the following information on your computer and post back the result to help us analyze the problem and remove a copy of Windows Vista.

Start Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the computer and access the computer and check the partitions in Windows to make a note where Windows 7 and Windows Vista are installed and after return of information.

If you are able to make a note of the partition on which Windows Vista is installed, and if you are confident about it, you can start on Windows 7 and check on which Windows Vista is installed; make a backup of data in Windows Vista and later you can remove folders of Windows files, users and the program or format the partition.

I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

Thank you and best regards,

  • How to remove hidden links (how to remove the links, ONLY the hidden parts of the document)

    in Acrobat XI-> after deletion "text hidden" using the tool 'Remove hidden information'-> links still remain in the hidden passage / cropped -> so the real question is - HOW TO REMOVE THE LINKS HIDDEN in a PDF. An approach may be to remove 'links, Actions and Javascripts' tool 'Remove' hidden information - BUT it removes links TO the WHOLE OF the DOCUMENT - "how to remove the links, ONLY the hidden parts of the document"

    Hidden text is the collection of glyphs in the PDF page using the text rendering mode 3 (no terms, no fill).

    The links set up in connection with this hidden text are not 'hidden' (this isn't how it works with annotations PDF link - see ISO 32000-1: 2008).

    Any link annotation placed in a PDF file are the same as any other annotation link (with the exception, of course, of whatever Action the link happens to).

    Thus, no special sauce for the links that were placed in conjunction with now deleted "no hidden text.

    In the context of what you wrote, maybe it's you select - Ctrl + click the link annotations of interest and press the delete key.

  • How to remove Vista Total Security 2011?

    I recently got the virus 'Vista Total Security 2011' and he blocked me to open my internet browsers. I changed all its settings and completed the process with the Task Manager, and now he let me on my browser. However, now I can't open anything on my computer (for example: Itunes, Skype, etc.) and it won't let me run things I download once I download them. It keeps saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. May not permissions to access you the item. "What I do and how do I remove this virus?

    I'm not very good with computers, so I don't really know what to do... Help, please.

    My problem is solved! I actually didn't use all the methods presented here, but thank you for your help. My friend told me I could use "System Restore" and some degree of restoration before I caught the virus.

    If any of you have this problem, I strongly suggest you this :) It's really easy and I didn't do much. Thank you all and good luck to anyone having the same problem!
  • How to remove Vista? (Dual boot C: D: in Vista, Windows 7)

    Hello

    I have windows vista Edition full home preinstalled on my laptop (wipro bm4930) in c: drive. I was unsatisfaied of vista and installed W7 ultimate in my d drive. Now, I am fully satisfied with w7 and want to uninstall vista. But when tried to format the c drive, it says 'impossible to format cdrive '.

    Please, help me uninstall my system vista.

    First of all, you need to remove the dual-boot scenario (this is why you cannot format).  Here is the procedure - it is generic, but should work with these operating systems as wel (this is the second series):http://www.ehow.com/how_4558992_delete-computer-operating-system.html.

    Once you start only in Windows7 (you have more choice at the start), you should be able to use Windows7 to format the disk containing Vista and then you're done.

    Be very careful, because change startup files can cause you to lose access to the two systems - not only the Vista-if you do not correctly.  I suggest that ask you that question in the Windows7 Forums; http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7 of confirmation for Windows7 is what you want to keep.

    I hope this helps.

    I have read all the threads on this subject, but I can't always get rid of Vista.
    I tried the way in which the FDD, but when I click on F6, I know not why, but it just don't work. He did not enter the menu to select another SCSI, Raid...
    I tried the nLite too, but does not work either...

    I have an A200-221.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    GParted is don t know for me.
    Always is it that your laptop needs to install the SATA driver if you want to install XP on this laptop.
    The Intel Matrix Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers, and you can download from the Toshiba page or from the Intel page too.

    Back to the installation procedure.
    You have two options;
    You install the SATA drive external floppy driver by pressing the F6 key during XP Setup process or you will create a clean XP CD using the nLite.

    The two procedures work for sure. In your case if it n t work properly, then * you did something wrong! *
    And I recommend to repeat this procedure over and over again and recommend that you check each bet twice!

    You can also erase all partitions in Vista if you want to use the XP.

    Good bye
