Hello

You can erase your entire hard drive with command prompt from booting from the Windows installation disc and run the utility "diskpart", clear full hard drive, make new partitions and install the operating system.

(a) start the computer from the Windows installation disc.

(b) click on 'Next' at the first prompt.

(c) click on "Repair your computer."

(d) click "next".

(e) click on "Command prompt."

(f) type "diskpart" without the quotes, and then press "Enter".

(g) list disk 'type' without the quotes, and then press "enter".

(h) type "select disk 0" without the quotes and replacing '0' by the actual number of the car you want to erase.

(i) type "clean" without the quotes, and press "Enter." The drive is now completely erased.

(j) restart the computer.

(k) through the installation of Windows 7 with regular steps.

I hope this helps.

  • cannot expand the c partition in unallocated space

    I have a HP Pavilion dv5224nr laptop running Windows XP.  I've been low on disk space, so I came on this forum to find out how to remove the recovery partition, since I have the recovery CD from HP.  Now that I deleted the partition through disk management, it only allows me to expand the C partition in unallocated space left by removing the partition D.  "Extend partition" is not an option in the menu when I right click.  I also tried going through the "diskpart" command prompt, select the volume and him asking to "extend".  I received a message that it was unable to extend the volume.  How can I recover the 12 GB of space on my C drive?  Thank you.

    I downloaded a free utility called Easeus Partition Master and it worked very well for resizing my partition C.  I also used explores the function to watch the 1 gig unknown partition and it wasn't empty, so I left it alone.  Thanks for your help!

  • 14FR (PQSERVICE) recovery partition becomes unallocated space

    Hi all

    I have an Aspire 5745 G laptop with Windows 7 HP x 64 preload. My HARD drive accidentally becomes a dynamic disk for narrowing the 'C' drive by using a 3rd party partition management software. I converted it to the base using the same tool. Now my OEM 14FR reserved partition disappeared. It shows as an unallocated space in the Device Manager window.

    Can I still get back without going through recovery discs?

    Thanks before.

    Hi osandakj

    Bad news is, if the recovery partition is listed as unallocated, it has been deleted.

    You will certainly need to buy for your laptop recovery disks!

    Given that this was written in 2011, I'm sure you understood something at this stage. However, the post also has much a views, so I think it might be a persistent problem, so I'll post my solution:

    When I copied the file SRIM - 20xx.e in a folder of SRIM-20xx under Program Files, I had a "Disk full" error when trying to extract the files, even though I had a lot of space on my hard drive and without limits. After a bit of messing around, I like the solution is to move the SRIM-20xx folder on the desktop, and then unpack it. After extraction, which leaves you with a lot of seemingly useless files, double-click CONFIGURATION and the installation will begin appropriate. Installation will create a file under Program Files, there will be no need to make things happen later, simply remove the meantime extract the folder to your desktop computer.

    Can I create a network on my Eee PC 1000 H Windows XP Home Edition user?

    I want to experience connect me to other computers in my house with the same user name and password. I use it with Windows XP Professional to my work, and I want to know how to deal with the publishing house.
    I have the Eee PC 1000 h running (active) Windows XP Home Edition (Service Pack 3) with OEM product key.
    If I can, can someone please tell me how?

    I'm assuming you're network connection to your XP Pro using the "Remote Desktop connection" machines...  If so, this can be done natively on a XP Home machine as XP Home does not support the remote desktop connection.  XP Home Edition also ensures a file sharing Simple for any user that connects to your computer would be able to authenticate the user "guest".

    There may be other 3rd third-party programs that can allow you to do.

  • Vista SP2: create an additional partition / merge unallocated space

    I looked around the forums but I can't seem to find an appropriate response.

    I recently reinstalled an operating system on my computer (HARD drive Exchange).  This time, I decided to stay with the Vista original rather than go to the downgrade to XP, I first time round.

    -Online is my goal is to create a partition only for my data.

    I don't never partitioned a drive myself so far.  So far, I did not restore all the data.

    I found a strange configuration on the HARD disk, which is now 500 GB:

    C: "Vista" (of course the windows and other program files, the page file, etc.). About half of the total disk space, with a lot more free space.

    E: 'Data' ("primary partition"). About half of the disk space total but container recovery tools only 4 GB of occupation.

    A third * no * capacity volume 1.46 GB with 100% free space.  It is marked 'healthy (EISA) configuration.

    My plan had been to shrink C and E substantially, in particular E (up to about 6 GB, which gives 33% free space, since it is only recovery tools - on my machine Win 8 I have a recovery partition, but it is very small, as expected).

    I shrink both, but Vista only authorized maximum withdrawal of 50%.  I found myself with two spaces unallocated.  I formatted a (now called D) and now, it is marked 'in good condition (logical drive).  He is also NTFS.

    I've not yet formatted the other unallocated space.

    So, my questions:-

    1. What is this labeled 1.46 GB partition?  Why is that?  (Never seen something like that).

    2. why can I not shrink the existing partitions more?  C even still contains 69% free space.

    3. how to merge both new partitions?

    4. Why is the new partition D not a main drive and what question?  (I read somewhere in Vista you can have 3 primary disks.)  Is this what volume unlabelled 1.46 GB as a primary transmission?

    => I would like ideally to a single disk of data about 65 to 75% of my 500 GB HARD drive.  For now the D drive and newly formatted (68.1 GB) and the unallocated space (115.9 GB) add up to only 184 GB, significantly less than half.

    Thanks for any help.

    I'm no expert on the partitioning of the disks as each version of Windows introduced new types of structures of disk and partitions. Each of the different rules depending on the type and the version of Windows.

    I have three partitions. Data and one for Windows. One for beta versions of Windows. And one for the installation files (if it survives reformatting). I copy my data to another partition if resettlement (but it's been 6 years and 7 months I finally reinstalled Windows - what ordinary hassles are you going to for once an event of the Decade).

    Windows is designed to separate the data on a disk. Many of its features are designed to make several drives appear as a single drive.

    In the worst case scenario for your scenario, Windows will work, but your data is lost compared to the lost data, but nothing works. An improvement without consequence.
