• Windows 8 start problem, due to an accidental installation of Windows XP on another partition

  I had Windows 8 Pro on one partition and Windows XP SP3 on another partition for some time and I could choose which start. I decided to remove Win XP and format the partition on that Win XP has been installed. I tried to do it by using formatting option Win XP CD that appears before installation; However, I accidentally installed Win XP on the same partition. The problem is that my laptop is no longer recognizes Win 8 and begins on Win XP. I was wondering if by any chance I could collect Win 8?

  Furthermore, the Win 8 partition is installed, is intact and healthy with all the files inside Windows. Also, I tried to update or reset the installation of Win 8 to help to win 8 DVD, however, it did not work; as a message appears saying that the drive is locked.

  I thank very you much for your time.

  Impatience on your part.

  Hey Amir,

  It seems that the boot loader is damaged. You need to install the earlier operating system first, and then install the latest operating system. If you do not have (for example, if you install Windows XP on a computer that is already running Windows 8), you can make your system unusable. This can happen because earlier versions of Windows do not recognize the startup files used in more recent versions of Windows and can overwrite them.

  As you have reinstalled Windows XP on a computer running Windows 8, it has destroyed the boot loader.

• TouchSmart 610 - installation of windows 8 on a partition, error, not enough space on the system partition?

  I created a 150 GB partition to install Windows 8 so I can dual boot Win 7 and Win 8.  When I try to install, I get a message that there is not enough free space on my score 'system '.  The only thing I can think is that it refers to the partition of 100 MB (reserved) system.  It has only 10 MB of free space.  The partition I want to install on obviously has a lot of space.  Someone had this problem and got around him?

  UPDATE: found the problem with my 100 MB partition reserved.  I assigned a drive letter in disk management and saw a "test.vhd" of 55 MB file.  I recognized as a virtual drive that I had created and deleted a few months ago!  Deleted this file and then removed the drive letter assignment and Windows 8 is installed on my score in 15 minutes approximately.

  Hello meezer,.

  Glad you was able to get installed it. He always seems to be the little things that make us the most problems.

• Bootcamp: Installation of Windows 10 USB cannot find bootcamp partition

  Hello

  I deleted the old partition 10 windows using bootcamp, upgrade of the space itself.

• delete the partition after a failed installation of windows 10

  Hello world

  How is it possible to delete partitions, if in disk utility, there is no possibility to click on the '-' key?

  So I made a failure (several) attempts to install windows 10 on my new iMAC.

  I could download an ISO of windows and start the bootcamp assistant.

  In the last attempt of last night, I selected the bootcamp in windows installation partition, however, installing windows said it was impossible to read the hard drive.

  I then re-formatted this partition (BOOTCAMP) in the installation of windows, and after that, still could not read.

  Then, I deleted the bootcamp partition in windows and re-created a partition on "unallocated space" in the windows installation.

  Installing windows 10 still wouldn't move forward then I've bailed out and went back to OS X with the hope of turning it back on (again) by deleting partitions.

  I was unable to delete the Mac partition.

  Then, I deleted this partition (the one original bootcamp) and reformatted as OS x journaled. At least now, I can see the Partition.

  However in Diskutil, I was then impossible to delete this Partition. There is also a small partition 16 MB that cannot be erased.

  Wizard bootcamp will be past a pop up station: the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  So I will now try to delete these partitions (the boy and the training camp original one) merge into the original and give then installing bootcamp, another go when I have a lot of energy!

  any help would be appreciated. I'm a little cautious to use Terminal command lines for fear of ruining my new computer.

  1. your iMac has a Fusion drive?

  2. don't mix to disk utility and Wizard of BC. They can lead to a host of issues.

  3. If you do not typos in the Terminal, they provide much more rich in detail. You have a Time Machine backup, put in place?

  4 can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

• Logical disk partition not recognized in the New Installation of Windows

  Hello.  I would appreciate someone to give me any advice.  I don't know if the problem I encounter is an oversight on my part, but it was not something that I anticipated.

  To give a bit of background, until last week, I was running a Windows 7 system on my computer which included three hard drives (4 TB, 2 TB, and a smaller disk).  The 4 TB drive included my boot drive with Windows on a partition of 2 TB and then the unallocated space has been transformed into a new partition in disk management, received the drive letter G and was used for long term backup of data.

  Since then, I built a new computer and installed a new version of Windows 7 on a small SSD.  During this process, I have not all disks connected to the machine (except the DVD player) so that there is no possibility of installation of Windows, do something for these readers I didn't (I got burned by this time long ago when you reinstall Windows 95, which makes me just feel old).  After the whole installation process was performed and the new version of Windows has been working well, I opened the machine and plugged the drive 4 TB and 2 TB, assuming that Windows did not recognize them when I started.

  When I started in Windows, Windows does indeed recognize the two drives and assign drive letters.  But in the case of the car of 4 TB, he acknowledges that the partition containing my old boot drive.  No drive letter is assigned to the secondary partition.  When I go to disk management, it shows all of the remaining spaces as unallocated space, but seems not yet quite recognize space completely in the way he would if I'd created directly.  For example, if I right click in that box, I don't get the normal options to create a new Simple Volume.  Everything on this menu is grayed out except properties and help.

  So I guess I have two questions.  (Leaving aside the possibility of a hardware problem), was I wrong to assume that a hard drive divided into two partitions could be transferred from a Windows machine to another?  I honestly thought that no matter where no matter what Windows 7 machine would recognize the two drives, but maybe I'm missing something fundamental.

  Two and more important still, there advice for access to the data on this drive?

  Hello

  A problem that could happen is that the disk partition has security setting so that the profile of the user that created it would be able to access it, and seeing that you are trying to access from a new profile may not not allow you to access

  To access these files, you can try to boot from the old hard drive manually to change the setting of the partition or simply manually move the files and delete the partition.

  To start from the old disk hard restart have the hard drive is plugged in, restart the computer and while it is booting F12 key to select the boot device, after that, select the old hard disk and access them normally.

  hope this has helped.

• Cannot create a partition during the installation of Windows 7

  When I want to create a new partition on the unallocated space during the installation of Windows 7 in custom option on that I enter the size of the partition size I wanted and click apply, but nothing happens and cannot install Windows 7, but the same thing can be done by my old Windows XP CD. My computer is Dell Inspirion - 620... When I was clicking on an already partitioned space to install, error message is that there was not much free space in partitioned space was similarly if I formatted the partition of 75 GB and all 75 GB of free space and so on showing the screen.

  Try to increase the size of the partition and see what happens.

  Windows 7 would probably work on a 75 GB partition, but you will run out of space real fast at that size. A minimum of 120 GB would be better.

  Another thing you could try is to simply create a major score for the entire disk, then after you have installed Windows, go to "disk management" and create your other partitions.

  Personally, I don't see what good it does to have multiple partitions on the same drive. If the drive fails, all of your partitions went anyway.

• Installation of Windows 7 spans two completely separte not partitioned hard disk. How moving to a disk?

  I have two separate completely from the hard drive. It is 288 GB and the other news is 1 TB.  When I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, for some reason any, it has partially installed on both drives at the same time.  I tried to reformat the hard drive of 288 GB, but can only a part of the Windows installation on this disk! How can question, I put it completely on a hard drive in Windows 7?  I know what is happening, because when I unplug a hdd, leaving a connected, it does not start upward because he needs a startup disc.  Other, similarly, said that the part of the windows installation is not available because there was a change of hard disk.  So, how I move everything that is on one of the disks to consolidate in the first hard drive?

  I unplug the 1 TB hard drive, then try to install the disk of 288 GB. Then you can attach the 1 TB of disk after installation.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
