• Return to Windows 7 by using the recovery partition

  I installed Windows 8 on Windows 7 and want to go back to Windows 7 using the recovery partition.  Is it possible that I can do this?

  No it is not possible, unless you make the recovery disks that copy the recovery on an external partition. This partition is unnecessary after windows installation 8. Consider using windows 8 and 8.1 upgrade and always start on the desktop instead of the Start Page. It is very similar to windows 7 with a few improvements.

I downloaded the update, but he told me to go get the Update Rollup 2 or something, so I tried to install it and he told me that I needed to go get the .NET framework 1.1 and .NET framework 1.1 SP1.

  Hi xelliotx,
   
  I suggest that you follow these steps.
   
  Step 1:
   
  First of all, download and install .net Framework Cleanup Tool to remove selected versions of the .NET Framework on your computer.
   
  Step 2:
   
  Manually install the versions of Microsoft .NET Framework below:
   
  Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 redistributable package
  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en

  Once this installation is complete, try to install the other required software and check.

• Windows 8 clean install from the recovery partition

  Hello, I just purcased a new computer, last week. It contains a copy of the widows 8. I just got a new ssd 240 GB and I want to do a clean install of windows 8 opperating system not a ghost copy. I do not have a windows disk with my computer but I have a recovery partition on my current hard drive. How can I get windows to reinstall on my new ssd with only the recovery partition?

• Impossible to reinstall Windows 7 on a new hard drive

  First off apologies if this has been answered recently, I spent the 2 days on this problem and the promise that I searched and google til my fingers bleed. Basically, the situation is as follows:

  -The PC tells me HDD is faulty on my Studio XPS 8000

  -J' I buy the new HDD, then get out of the old and install new

  -Position the disc of the PC operating system, get up to where I can click on install to start the installation of Windows 7 on the new drive

  -However he says there is no device driver on the disk, I put in the drivers and Utilities disc, (which came with the PC) but still no driver of the device, even if it says disk they appear thereon

  -Back to the old drive and try to make the system recovery disk - try to use USB flash drive but is not recognized, so buy dvdr discs and go through initialization and then it begins to collect files, but on many tests is not go beyond 25% full, let alone engraving on the startup disk.

  -Dell Datasafe Local Backup to uninstall and reinstall but the continuous PC to freeze at "25% collection files.

  So, what can I do, because my warranty is over? All I have to do is install my copy already purchased WIndows 7 on my new hard drive already bought, but I'm stumped at this point. Thanks for any help of cutting-edge :)

  Oh... PS. -I am in England so I don't think I can send away from the backup disks, even if the expiry of the guarantee is not a problem.

  Follow the Windows reinstallation Guide / A clean installation of Windows 7:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/

  The part you get stuck on is step 6, preparation of step 8 and SATA drivers loaded during the installation of Windows.

  Note that I recommend using a .iso of Digital River, which will be the installation of more up-to-date media and the use of Activation and recovery of backup for the activation of the product. Follow the step 2 (using the files at the bottom) and stage 11 b for activation of the product. It is an unofficial solution but works very well.

  You can of course try to call Support technique Dell and request a Dell Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 DVD of resettlement.

• D1G64UA: Windows 10 update fails due to no space in the recovery Partition

• HP Envy Pheonix - move or delete the recovery partition

  I just bought a HP Envy Pheonix 800 and there a 120 GB ssd for the OS.  Ago a second partition that is for recovery that is as I wish to move or to get rid of so that I can have the other space available for files such as 120 GB can fill up pretty fast.

  If I create a defined backup drive I'll be able to get rid of this partition and it is part of c:?

  Or can the partition be moved safely to the other HD without any problem?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Marc

  Hello

  As long as you create your recovery media set - see link below-, so it should be no problem deleting the partition (moving it usually breaks its functionality).  If you need to use the recovery media to perform a 'factory Reset', this process will reinstall the OS and recreate all of the original scores, including recovery D.

  Create recovery media - Windows 8.

  About the removal of the recovery partition, you can often do this through the application Recovery Manager as shown in the HP document on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810279

  If this option is not available, you can simply delete the recovery Partition using Windows Disk Manager and extend c in the unallocated space.

  Kind regards

• I need to reinstall Windows Vista on a NEW hard drive

  I need to upgrade my hard drive a 500 GB to a 2 TB hard drive. I want to keep the old hard drive as what without having to format. I'll put it on in the case where I never need to access the data that's out there. I have the key Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit disk and license. Is it possible to just install it on the hard drive again without any license validation error or the old hard drive must be formatted to remove windows. Desktop PC. Thank you

  Hello

  Legally, you must save your data > wipe this most hard > re - install your data, and then use this drive hard as you would normally use an external hard drive. namely for data only.

  One license is for a single installation.

  _______________________________________

  You can have activation issues with the new hard drive and reinstall anyway.

• How boot Windows Vista from a USB hard drive that has a good backup Vista already on him.

  Hi, initially, I thought I had a virus (blue screens that appear often), then I thought I had a corrupted driver or systems file. So, I had a 2 t USB external hard drive and saved ALL my internal hard drive.  After execution of all kinds of tests from my internal hard drive, it does NOT pass the diagnostic test and always stops in the same place on the internal hard drive.  It becomes harder and harder to start on my internal drive of 'C' without getting some kind of blue screen.  I'm sure that now it's my drive "C" which is declining and malfunction and I am convinced now to go forward and every time you start my existing backup Vista SP2 that I backed up on my disk 'K', or if I can, then do a new clean install of Vista 86 x (32 bit) on the disc 'K '.  My boot sequence is as follows: 1. Disc 2 DVD 3. External drive USB 'K' 4. Internal drive C (eventually when I get all fixed, I turn OFF my 'C' drive.)  When I boot my computer without my Vista disk, it bypasses the 'K' reader, because all the "loadup data" is located in a folder and are not exposed, or I don't have the files to "load" just in the right place.  When I look at the file config.sys and autoexec.bat copied, I see nothing in the files that would be "load" my existing Vista, instead he just goes right in front of the reader 'K' and on the 'C' drive and loaded a version own intalled my Vista (if I can avoid a blue screen, sometimes I have to load in "safe mode" and even) It doesn't work sometimes!)  My question is what the loadup files are needed and where on my 'K' drive (in system32?) to be able to restart my old copy of Vista which has all my existing configurations in place?  Thanks in advance for your help.

• Manager Windows 8.1 and the HP recovery disk manager cannot remove the recovery partition

  I have the following computer: HP ENVY h8 desktop PC - 1437c.  I used the HP Recovery application to do a recovery on a flash drive disk. When you have finished this operation it was not an option to remove the recovery partition (drive D on my computer. I tried to reopen the HP Recovery Manager and try to remove it like that, but to remove it is greyed out. I also tried to delete it using the 8.1 windows Disk Manager, but there is no way to do there either. If I right click on the recovery Partition, I get only an option 'help '. How can I get rid of this partition and recover lost space using it now on my hard drive. Windows and HP did not want to provide more records with their computers, but they do not have a problem of screwing of MY hard drive that I bought and paid for. I should start to charge rent for the space.

  I just used the software and created another partition as drive D using all unallocated space. I can delete probably once again, or maybe I'll just use it as a storage device for my files instead of recovering files sofetware... Thanks for the help

• Move Windows 7 install on new hard drive

  Hi guys, what is the recommended procedure to switch my current installation to a new hard drive? The current drive has 2 partitions with the windows partition having 120 GB of space, but I want to change that to 100 GB on the new hard drive, the rest being partitioned for documents and media, but also another operating system for dual boot. Thank you

  You can create a System Image of your current installation of Windows 7 on the 120 GB drive. Please note that the new drive must be size equivalent to or greater than the current unit where Windows 7 is installed. Once you have submitted your player using the System Image, you can then proceed with the installation of the new hard drive and then boot from your Windows 7 DVD in the environment of system recovery and restore installation on the new drive. Instructions on how to do in the following link:

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

  Once the image is given the new drive, start Windows 7, open the device management and shrink the drive to 100 GB.
