Load a Windows rescue disk the same as reformatting and reinstalling Windows?

Win32/Ramnit.z and fitness.

Hi, once you've found the Win32/Ramnit.z on one of our computers/cash registers I need to reformat and load the operating system on. A cam XP rescue & recovery disc with the computer and I was wondering if this drive will do the same work as the reformatting.

Hello

A recovery disk contains tools and information that can be used to 'recover' your system using the information stored on your hard drive. This 'information' could be the I386 folder, this could be a hidden restore partition, or it could be something else entirely. The key is that the recovery disc uses a lot of information on your hard drive.

An installation disc contains the software to install. A Windows installation disk contains a copy of Windows that is copied from the disk and installed on the hard drive of your computer. There is not need additional tools or information already exists on the hard drive.

Win32/Hadily is a family of several malicious software that infects executable files from Windows, Microsoft Office files, and HTML files.

    If it worked the first time, there is no reason that it will not work the second time on the same computer, as long as the Windows 7 is a full version.

    If this is an upgrade version, you must have the qualifying OS installed and enabled before you upgrade and it will work.

  • On Windows 7 Home Premium I want to reformat and reinstall, can I still activate with the same Windows license?

    Hi all

    I recently bought a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium Retail, today my PC started crazy and having a lot of accidents and errors related to kaspersky IS 2013, I wsih to reformat and reinstall windows on the same machine and also to do a bios update. My question is, can I turn it back on windows again on the same pc since the license is a retail one?

    Thank you

    Yes you can.

  • BOOTMGR is compressed. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart__But when I do the same message appears and now my netbook won't start.

    I'm not a computer whizz and now I fear I can have made a big mistake when I thought I was doing something safe.

    So here's the story, I wanted to do a little more space on my drive hard because I don't have but a small memory netbook. After the usual cleaning disc and other things, I also saw a tick box option to compress all the files and folders on the c: / drive. I checked this box and everything was fine until I stop and it works even today.

    As soon as the first image - the HP logo disappears (with instructions following key below '= change Boot Device Order' and '= ' configuration Options of the BIOS) I get a black screen with the following script in the upper right:

    "BOOTMGR is compressed"... and below, «press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart»

    However, when I do restart, nothing chages and I come back to the same message over and over. I think its pretty obvious that my 'sting' autour potentially screwed up things good and clean and I would be very grateful if someone knows how to solve my problem and what to do. I tried to study the question, already and so far, I think I might have to reinstall windows, but when I bought this netbook, windows has been installed for me so I did not drive. I don't even have a hard drive anyway. I also read on the windows troubleshooting pages who put the pressing F8 repeatedly until 'start it again from the last record in the point' etc options but it did not work either... unless I'm doing it wrong.

    I hope I gave enough information above so that someone is able to help. Thank you for your time and I'll look forward all the answers and I hope that the answer.

    This is a popular problem with computers HP they have written an article about this (in other words, what happens often):

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&DocName=c01872275

    Compression is not a bad thing, but in the world where the disk storage is cheap usually not worth - you just buy more storage or maintenance disk Dome (remove things).  Compression can actually slow down the performance of your system too.  I think it's just sort of a vestige of the old days and can have negative consequences today.

    Using the HP article, you can repair your system in seconds after getting into the Recovery Console.

    There is a similar problem with systems not HP where the ntldr file may get compressed and solve it is a little different, but the concept is the same and only takes a few seconds to fix.

    You will not engage in any kind of Mode safe either.

    Enter the Recovery Console may be the biggest challenge.

    You have a genuine XP bootable installation CD?  This is not the same as any type of System Recovery CD which might come with your system.  If you do not, you will need to make a bootable CD from Recovery Console by using a system of work - or physically move your HARD drive to a system that works, repair and put back.

    Your system model number not specified there a CD player?

  • Thunderbird is lock on a message and I have to delete the Bellsouth otherwise it will download the same email over and over. How can I fix it?

    It started a couple of weeks. I noticed an email several times being downloaded. After reviewing the many things, I deleted the email on Bellsouth and Thunderbird then downloaded all my emails. Over time, he started doing this several times in a batch of e-mails. The download bar will say it is loading down 1 (or whatever the number) to say 71 messages. It can download 1 or more, then it stops downloading. I go to Bellsouth and remove the last downloaded message and click Get Mail in Thunderbird to start the process again.

    If I don't delete the last email downloaded when I hit Get Mail Thunderbird will download the same email again and stop. A few times it will start a download and work for an extended period and then stop the download without having to download a single mail.

    Before I tried to pull up in protected mode I ran C Cleaner and SpyBot just to see if there was something I picked up somewhere. I've not seen anything unusual, but had two programs clean what they find. Since their execution I've seen Thunderbird download some e-mails twice, but it's the download now. Don't know what that programs cleaned up that seems to fix the problem. So, for the moment, it looks like I agree.

    Thanks Matt. If it comes up again I'll give the protected mode a shot.
