Install Windows 7 on a partition that include data and files without data loss
Hello
I have a question :
- I've already installed windows 8 on the C partition.
- but I also D partition with the files and folders.
- so is it possible to install windows 7 on the D partition without losing my data in it?
Kind regards
No, installation on drive D will remove. I suggest to create an on C:\ partition and install Windows 7.

Yes you can. To learn more:
If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, you should have a recovery if partition:
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
------------------------
If the recovery partition is damaged or does not, you can then use the downloaded Home Premium as an alternative.

Hi, I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (dell insparon) 1525 and now my wireless does not work. ive tried re installing driver, but it says operating system not supported. I used the disc that came with the computer of the re install and I even tried to install service pack 1. .
original title: Wireless problems after install.I just tried both, the dell is one that says OS not supported"and the intel, it went very well, but my 'network controller' still have a yellow top thing in Device Manager. and I always wireless. any other ideas? Thank you for the help
Question... You have whatever it is listed in the "Network adapters" section of "Device Manager" now?
While ensuring that the exclamation point is not for your wired network device (plausible) or bluetooth (plausible) and you just need to configure your wireless network to connect to * your * wireless network now.
You may have to contact Dell to see why none of their drivers receive your wireless device works on the original operating system, what they included. This could be a hardware problem PURE.

To open system properties:
(a) click Start, right click on computer
(b) click on properties
(c) see if it shows Windows Vista with service pack 1 on windows edition.
Hope the helps of information. We know if you need help. We will be happy to help you.

I installed windows 7 on a mac with boot camp and then used parallels to create a virtual machine to run windows inside Mac os10.6. Now he says I need to activate windows again, but he said I need a new activation key. Any ideas would be appreciated
Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key. 1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key. Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

I have a pre-installed windows 8 pro in my VAIO E series and I had no problem with it until he says I need to activate the key. How will I know about the activation key if I don't have the CD? and he really gets on my nerves because very 15 minutes it would display the message that I need to activate the key making delays in my work.
Hi Kia,
We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
I wish you contact the Sony Support to reactivate the windows because it's preinstalled software.

Just installed CD player. Now I can't print pdf files without disabling Protected Mode. Anyway to adjust/difficulty so I can print protected-mode?
Protected mode can be "a very important part of their security features", but what's the point if the product does not work?
If has been like that since the introduction of Safe_mode in drive X. Reader, crashes, hangs, cale, cannot print and various other symptoms.
I recommended to disable Safe_mode for a very long time, and even Adobe support staff do often the same here in the forum.
There is absolutely no advantage whatsoever to keep protected Mode enabled. (Although I personally have never had no problems [with protected Mode on] on any of my Windows systems.)

Bootcamp has not finished - how can I continue installing windows on the new partition?
Hi thanks for reading me.
I started the bootcamp, it created the partition and install windows started 8.1.
He asked for the location of the reader, so I chose my USB hard disk (read here which was possible) - SSD space is such a premium.
I was told that the format of the disc is not FAT GUD, so I gave up installing.
I used the disk utility to reformat the external hard drive.
How can I get the windows partition now rerun the installation process?
I tried the OPTION start upward, but the new partition does not show yet.
Any help would be really appreciated.

the partition windows 8 must be greater than 30 GB
After that, please review the documents of Apple Computer

Install Windows 8 fails: too partitions
Hello
I have a hp pavilion with windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit g6.
I also downloaded the preview release of Windows 8 (consumer) and tried to install it in dual-boot.
So I tried to make a new partition on my hard drive, but since there are already 4 primary partitions, the operation failed.
(partitions: RECOVERY, SYSTEM, HP_TOOLS, and 'C')
How can I install Windows 8, now?
Can I delete a partition (as, for example, RECOVERY: I did a system repair disc and stored a file system image on an external hard drive)
?Or can I remove a (HP_TOOLS?), a logical partition and store Win8 and deleted in that partition?
answer please!

Cannot install Windows on disk 0 partition 1
Hi, I replaced my hard drive on my laptop, the new hard drive is empty and I want to install windows 7 on it, but I get the error windows cannot install on disk 0 partition 1, I can't format, install windows on it or anything.
If the two different versions of window will not complete a format, your hard drive is "defective".
You should check that:
(1) the hard drive can be used for a Windows startup disk. Generally hard less than 2 TB can be used properly.
(2) find the hard drive diagnostic tests, the hard training web site of the manufacturer and follow the signs to test your hard drive.
3) search your computer / web site of the manufacturer of the motherboard for a BIOS update. There could be a 'solution' that could fix your current problem.
You can buy a new drive hard so as to "bypass" the 'steps' to solve the problems of hard drive.
