• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

  Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
  Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• FAT32 option not available to format the hard disk during Windows 7 installation

  I have a computer of Windows 10.  The owner wants to put on Windows 7.  I change the hard drive on the mbr to gpt.  But with the BIOS to TPG, I read that it, the bios would accept FAT32 hard drive.  I don't seem to have this option only NTFS.  Question: How to format a drive in FAT32.

  Hi John,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  Before you begin, note that the FAT32 file system has size limitations. You cannot create a FAT32 partition greater than 32 gigabytes (GB). In addition, you cannot store a file greater than 4 GB on a FAT32 partition. If the partition you want to format is larger than 32 GB, NTFS format may be a better option.

  However, I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.
  Reference:
  Format
  https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730730.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

  Important notes:
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

  Additional information:
  Convert a hard disk or partition to FAT32 format

• Error loading operating system message is displayed after the partial installation of Windows XP

  Hello all, I was doing a clean install of Windows XP from the CD on my desktop PC.  I had reached the point where I had deleted the existing system partition and created a new system partition and had begun to load data from system to system on the CD when I accidentally stop the surge protector, shutting off the power to the computer, the screen of the monitor, etc.  After that I restored power, I turned on the PC without the XP installation CD in the CD/DVD drive.  The system posted successfully and start the CD line appeared IMMEDIATELY followed by the message "error loading operating system" on a new line.  I tried to start with the installation of XP in the drive disc, as well as with the "Ultimate Boot CD" in the player - the "Error loading operating system" message appeared in both cases.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

  The desktop PC has had a full legal work Windows XP with SP3, but I chose to reinstall from scratch, because I had problems with corrupted data in the Zone Alarm and card ATI graphics card software that caused random outages, lead to situations of re - start.  I couldn't fix the files for these 2 applications that I had this desktop PC in stock for more than 18 months and I couldn't remember the administrator password I had used.

  Once more, these error messages tell me you dΘmarrez the hard disk and no CD-ROM drive.  The message "NTLDR is missing" is read the boot sector, on most of the installations of Windows, the boot sector is usually the absolute sector 63 on the disc, using DiskProbe you will see the text of the message to the given sector.

  Your drive is perhaps at fault... or it may be absolutely nothing wrong with it!  You may need to press a key to boot from the CD, often you see a message like «Press any key to boot from CD...» "or some thing in this sense, maybe you're not a touch and the BIOS ignores the boot from CD-ROM and goes to the next boot device (hard drive).

• Help - need to consolidate the partitions on the hard disk after system recovery

  There are 4 partitions on my laptop Lenovo w/Vista. They are the main with the system OS etc. files partition, then an extended 9.7 GB partition labeled volume D: 98 GB of unallocated space and then finally the OEM with the recovery image section. I want to create a partition that is important as the C: volume with all that on it. The only other partition would be the volume of the OEM. Now when I try to use the unallocated space (create a simple volume with quick format) it says the operation cannot be completed because there is not enough space on the hard drive; that cannot be true because the unallocated space is 98 GB +. I got the OS to the factory setting thinking that it would be re - format the hard disk for the installation of 2 original score. No luck. I need help! We cannot add a lot of apps of software in the form of program files before the C: drive runs out of space. Help!

  Hello

  The HARD disk is partitioned and contains two partitions. The C partition is the system partition that contains the Windows operating system. The second D partition contains data drive HARD recovery.
  HARD drive recovery allows you to establish the notebook back to factory settings without the recovery disk usage.

  But it s is strongly recommended to create the recovery disk! The user manual provides the info on that in case something goes wrong with the HARD drive, the recovery disk allows you to recover the laptop.

  Of course, you can delete the D partition if you want to, but before doing so, you must create the recovery disk.

  However, my HARD drive contains 3 partitions. I created an extra. In my case, the C partition contains only system and the unique software. My files private like Mp3, movies, etc. are placed on the D second partition).
  The third partition (E) contains a folder with games.

• Why the hard disk is divided into partitions of two data (C:Vista and E: Data)?

  I just started a new A200-1V0 and found that disk space is divided into two partitions of sizes equal 'C:Vista' and ' E: Data "(and a small one EISA).

  WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended only to the tricks of the 'system' as the root 'Users' (user Documents) is on it also.

  This is the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said that Toshiba could do this without asking me?

  How can I move the root 'Users' in Vista (in the data partition) - if I have two partitions that I might as well use it?

  I can resize partitions in Vista without a utility 3 rd-party (or a complete backup/restore)?

  Thank you

  Hello just YOU

  Please don't be offended because there is no reason for this. You bought the new product with the factory settings. Toshiba and other hardware manufacturer do not know every customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to set up YOUR laptop.

  Because of this, there is a recovery of product support that allows to configure the HARD disk according to your wishes and needs.

  Please use this DVD and install OS how you want it to be. What recovery procedure starts, you will see CONFIGURATION option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.

  Reinstall the OS and enjoy your life. Really, I don't have the time to write on the floors of two partitions, because this is basic stuff and you probably don't want to waste your time to read this.

  Bye and good luck!

• Cannot access the HARD disk drive HARD - Satellite P300 recovery

  Hi all

  I want to perform a Toshiba product recovery, using the partition on the HARD disk. I did it before and no problem.

  But when I press F8--> computer repair--> selection language--> then I have to select a user (Administrator / my name/guest) when I select the administrator, it says that my account has been disabled, when I select the user with my name (Kenneth) he continues to the menu where I can choose the different options for recovery. If I select the product Toshiba blah blah thingy a screen comes up saying it can't find 01 HARD drive. I did nothing with the partition containing Vista.

  My guess is that I need to log in as an administrator, which is impossible. My user account in Vista is a Director,

  Can someone please?

  I use a P300

  Best regards

  I use an older Equium P200d for 1 year with two 40 GB hard drives each.
  My C drive has only 2 GB of memory left available while my E drive still has 30 GB.

  I have only 3.7 GB of programs loaded (according to the research of control panel) and I know that I have 4 GB of music.

  My query is - where is the other 30 GB missing?

  I made the Scandisc option and deleted all the stuff from there and a defragmentation procedure.

  Y at - it searches I can run to find junk I have more need?

  Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

  Hey Buddy

  If you are using Vista, then you should consider that Vista creates an additional partition on the HARD drive.
  It s hidden and it contains backup files in order to repair the operating system if something goes wrong.

  In addition HARD drive must also contain HARD drive recovery files (image).
  These files are required to recover the laptop HARD drive.

  So the hidden partition and the recovery of HARD drive that could be the main reason why you noticed smaller amount of space available on the HARD disk

  See you soon

• How to recover files from the hard disk recovery partition?

  There are recovery (D) on the hard disk.  How can I recover all my old files and programs of this drive?

  Original title: I changed from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 operating systems.

  Hello sdf361,

  The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
  that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
  your programs since the original installation discs.

  If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.

  I had to start a new user account in order to have access to my hard drive and be able to do some repairs... He showed sound quite complete but unable to show all files or these.

  Thank you for posting a copy of a report of chkdsk on your C partition select Start, run, type "cmd" without the quotes in the box and press ENTER. Type chkdsk, and then press the ENTER key and a report, stating, among other things, a summary of how disk space is used, is provided. If you want a report on a partition or one drive other than C, you need to go to this partition. To access F, where F is the required partition you type F: and press the ENTER key.

  Copies of the reports from a command prompt can be tricky. Right click and select mark. This allows to highlight the selected text, and then click on copy. You will then open Word, Notepad or similar file, right click and paste. The selected text transfers your Clipboard to open the file. You can paste directly into a response message to the majority of the forums.
