  Reboot, or power on the laptop and immediately after that the Sony Vaio logo disappears, press the F10 key several times. This brings you to the built-in recovery Partition.

  You can reinstall the operating system from there.

• I need to reformat the drive or remove an operating system

  Although this issue will be interesting... I have two windows vista operating systems on my computer.  I know that I don't have two disks. but on my c and d ' training is windows vista.  I need to delete one or reformat my hard drive... but the problem is that I can't go back and I can't do it in safe mode, I didn't have the screen that says select your operating system... I can enter in F2 and F8, but none of these options work. so, I just need help...

  Install a clean CUSTOM:

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• HP pavilion HPE: Win - 10 update, ok. What should I do if I need to reformat my drive hard back to Win - 10?

  I had Win - 7 on my computer. I upgraded to Win - 10.  No serious problems. I went the 30 days trial period. My question is, what do I do if and when (and yes it will happen), I need to reformat my hard drive. I want to keep the victory-10 on my computer. I have recovery disks of the Win-7 phase I did when I bought my computer several years ago. HP will offer Win - 10 recovery disc for those of us who have already upgraded. The Microsoft site, from what I've read, only allows you to download a Win-10 dvd if you have not upgraded your computer yet. Otherwise, the download can mess with the Win - 10 already installed on the computer.

  Thank you.

• Delete/reformat the drive hard partition (s) to activate the operating system reinstall

  I have a HP 2000 2b09wm. He just broke, gives me the error message saying in that I needed a new hard drive. Suppose the old went kaput (even though I bought this pc on eBay not a month or two before). I have a new HD and a Windows 8 reinstall the software from a dealer on eBay. I tried several routes to try to reinstall the OS, resulting in many dead ends *. I asked the dealer to help, but did not get much. The last thing he offered was to remove the partitions in the new HD. I looked at a page eHow, how to remove Partitions on a hard drive. It is said to get a CD which includes fdisk.com. I burned super fdisk (2 MB) of SFbootablecd.iso and fdisk (40 MB) of fd11src.iso. I went into the BIOS to set the boot order. I put the saved first, CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and tried the two CDs. It always starts with just a screen with this:

  Not found boot device
  Please install an operating system on your hard drive
  Hard drive (3F0)
  F2 System Diagnostics
  For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup

  I even tried to put the CD/DVD ROM USB drive first... same results.

  So my questions to you, I guess, is first of all, why the CDs fdisk is not start? I burn the evil fdisk? Second, do you know why my OS couldn't be installed using the software to reinstall? The guy I got it (http://www.ebay.com/itm/181524428825?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) , verified_computer_specialists, has excellent comments, so I guess that the software is legitimate and the computer is actually original with Windows 8.

  Thank you.

  * A couple of the streets:

  Compatibility report - the computer has started using the Windows installation media. Remove the installation media, and then restart your computer so that Windows starts normally. Then, insert the installation media and restart the upgrade. Do not select [Advanced ICustom] I do a upgrade. [Advanced ICustom] I install a new copy of Windows and deletes your programs and settings.

  Another path to the Windows installation, I get this: select the driver to install: browse folder - access the driver and then click OK.
  It gives you the list under 'Computer' which includes "CD drive (E HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5)" (resettlement software) and below, support records - sources of boot - efi --.
  Simply choose drive E itself, the message appears: load a driver: no signed device not found driver. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK.

  Enter the BIOS and disable Secure Boot-enable Legacy boot, save & exit. Try to boot again from the disk Win 8.

  Since I was 99% plug-and-play, which means when he says 'naked reader? My expectations are to connect the new disk, run the recovery disks, run my backup files and go from there. It is much more difficult than that?

  Furthermore, what about updates since I generated recovery discs?

  Mr. Donovan

  You should kick him out on the original thread so that people can see it and understand where we have been.

  Yes it's Plug and play at the level of the material... Plug the drive and use it, but it just means that the system detects the drive as material. You still have prep. it and load it with software, but the recovery disc that does for you. If you have used HP Backup and Recovery Manager, you will get a software to factory installation (or maybe a simple OS with the drivers if you have a newer version of the software and chose this option for backup). It's like a time machine, so you have to go back to the future by running Windows Update and reinstall all software non - OEM and then that update (e.g. MS Office) and then migrate your old files on. It's a good afternoon, turned in the tuckus but better that lose everything.

• Need to reduce the font size after that make it is too big and now save the changes is not displayed. ALT-space bar/entry does not work.

  You have already answered this in forum Windows 7 here, http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7desktop/thread/f464c81d-26a2-49be-aa58-9ab335e64f0c

  but when I press Enter, it returns the window moved to its ' original location - so the problem still exists.

  Also... When you press Alt - Space Bar, the control box is impossible to read the large font size does not fit in the size of the box.  I pressed Alt - M in any case, that gave me the cross and allowed me to move the window, but like I said "enter" returns just the prior position window.  Need more help. Thank you.

  Hello

  Method 1.
  After pressing Alt + space + M you must hold the left key of the mouse and then place the window in place. Check if this is useful.

  Method 2.
  Try changing the size of police as a result of the article below and check if that helps.

• Cannot make a backup of the computer to reformat the external hard drive (error 0 x 80780029)

  Hello!
  I recently had to reformat (disk error problem) backup my drive (USB) hard external on which I did a complete PC. After reformatting the drive, I tried to make a new PC full to the top on it wihtout success because the old cliché could not be read ("reading of the volume shadow copy on source has no" error code 0 x 80780029), apparently, the backup and Restore Center kept in memory the old backup I did on my HDD reformat and seeks to go further. How can I get around this to remove the trace of old shadow copy and/or the complete PC Backup?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help

  Thanks again for your help!

• I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use.

  Quick question: I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use, when it is not.

  The question for a long time: I've updated two disks in my computer from 1 TB to 2 TB. They were e and K:. The KC: drive is used as a backup of data on E: drive.

  I copied all the data on the old drive E: to the new, but when I put the new drive in place of the old, XP wouldn't let me assign the E: drive letter. It is ironic that several times, I see the warning that if you change a drive letter, some programs may not work - so of course that Microsoft is aware of this problem - however, it is annoying when you NEED to change a drive letter to OPERATE programs, but Windows won't let you. Sometimes, trying to protect users from doing stupid things prevents them from making things work...

  Anyway, after some research, I discovered that if I put the drive E: OLD and "remove" the drive of her letter, then the letter E: becomes available again. It did not work, and my computer is now partially satisfied with his new E: drive. However, the same trick with the new drive K: does NOT work.

  I removed the letter 'k': the old K: drive, but when I install a new one, it won't let me change it. It happens to be stuck at 'l': it's no use to me because backup programs are ready to use the K:\ path.

  There is that no "K:" drive in my computer and I deleted the letter k: the old disk. How do I FORCE XP to designate the new drive K: so that my backup program can work again?

  Thank you.

  Did you try to start your computer in Mode without fail (repeatedly, key to tap the F8 as your computer starts) and then try to re-assignment of drive letters?
  I think that some programs on your machine may be playing with your drive letters.  Boot safe mode will allow Windows to operate with a minimum of processes that are running and you should be able to change drive letters in these conditions.

• How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

  Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

  How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

  I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

  Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

  Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

  There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
  http://safelyremove.com/index.html  Among other features:

  The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

• PHANTON Drive; When I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F.

  Hello

  I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  The HARD drive is configured to have a small partition for reserved system, Partition C for the system and the Partiton E for my files.  D drive is the DVD ROM Drive.

  Very occasionally when I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F.  I did not have a permanent Drive F and when this happened had no other connected devices.

  Drive F is often used, as are other drive letters, by various devices from time to time, such as external hard drives, Flash, my TomTom SatNav players, camera, readers of cards etc.

  Can someone explain why this happens and if I can do something to stop what is happening in the future?

  Eric

  Some Dell computers hard drives are extremely sensitive, if your computer is DELL' consider the technical service. Because if you run recovery, you have a headache.

• is it possible to see EVERY folder and file that exists on the drive hard on one screen and in one place just as you could do in much older versions.

  OK... so I had an accident and there was good and bad news... the good news is that I was able to get it started and running "Save", but the bad news is that instead of giving a new image system clean (as I expected), I had a bunch of random pictures and other unimportant things and many important things seems lost but I think that its still all somewhere.

  now... to the front sometimes there was a windows program called "windows explorer" that would put all folders and all files that was on the hard drive on a single screen, and you can search through them.    When I shoot to the top of the Explorer windows on win 7, I get a page with a bunch of files minor that some things in them, but not what I see already...

  so... my question is simply "is it possible to see EACH file and a file that exists on the drive hard on one screen and in one place just as you do in earlier versions.    I did some research and went thru records that he will show me but I explicitly want is to see EACH file and folder that exists on one screen...

  is it possible in win 7?   and if so, how, please

  Steven

  Steve,

  Are you talking about the Windows Search function?

  In Windows Explorer, open the top-level folder that you want to watch in [C:\Users\yourusername\Documents or whatever it is you want] then look in the upper right area - there is a white box to the right of the address bar.  This is the search box.  Type * and then pause and it lists all the files in this top-level folder down through its subfolders.
