Re-installation of the operating system

Hello

Recently I bought the Dell inspiron 15 (i5, 1 TB HD, 4 GB RAM) with windows 8. I want to make the partitions on the hard drive and reinstall the operating system (windows 8). How can I reinstall the new OS. Please suggest.

Thank you

Hi Malik.

If your system is running absolutely fine without any problems, you need not to reinstall Windows to create partitions. You can create partitions in a program called disk management in Windows itself. How to create partitions by using disk management in Windows 8, click here

I hope this helps.

  • After installation of the operating system 7, Photoshop CS does not work and is called a power PC program. It is an Intel machine and Photoshop has worked well with OS 10.6.

    After installing OS 7 (from 6 OS) on a machine Intel, Photoshop CS and CS2 will not open. I get the message that the Power PC programs are more supported. Why is this happening? Thank you.

    The message is clear (if you know what Power PC means, in other words). All G5 and many ancient used Mac made by Motorola and IBM called PowerPC processors. More recent that all Mac G5s use Intel processors.

    You talk to any OS, Mac, Windows, Linux, etc, the application that you are using must be written and compiled for the CPU and operating system, or it won't work.

    Your copy of Photoshop were written for older Mac using PowerPC applications and does not not on any Mac running Lion 10.7.x or later version. They ran under Snow Leopard 10.6.x because it was the last version of Mac OS X to include Rosetta, which is an emulator PowerPC that allowed these older apps to function, even though the Mac has an Intel processor.

    Your have several options.

    (1) buy a new version of Photoshop that runs natively under Leo.

    2) back to Snow Leopard.

    (3) purchase Server Snow Leopard from Apple ($20) and that run in a virtual machine as the free VirtualBox, VMware or Parallels. You can then run your PPC software in the virtual machine. It means that you were running an OS within an operating system and need a good amount of RAM installed to support the two well enough for your Mac is not slow to a crawl.

  • Loud beep and the power on / off power during installation of the operating system 10.11.2

    Someone else did this happen to them? My MacBook Pro (early 2011) making a loud beep sound and the power and turn off several times while he was installing the new os 10.11.2 update this morning? Everything seems to work fine, I've just been caught unawares. I've never had such a thing happened to me in updating my mac. Someone else?

  • Can I get an installation Win XP Pro Update CD includes SP3? The one I have now is pre - SP2 and reinstalling the operating system takes 4-EVER!

    My existing Windows XP Pro installation CD is almost a decade, and it precedes SP2. It's a nightmare, whenever I have to reinstall the operating system as ut takes a day or two to download Microsoft updates. Is it possible to replace my installation CD with a newer version, including a number of post-SP3 updates and SP3?

    You do this using a technique called "slipstreaming".  You start with a genuine XP installation CD and add in the necessary service packs and updates.

    If your CD-ROM is sp1 or 1A, you can just slipstream sp3.  If you have XP 'or' (pre - sp1), it is more complicated.

    There are many websites that explain how to do this.  Google for "slipstream sp3 of xp" or something similar.

    This site claims to have a script that will create a slipstreamed XP sp3 and all post-sp3 CD critical updates (description wrongly "sp2").  I the have not used and do not have any information on how easy it is or if she actually does what it says.

  • Will there be repercussions to Program Files on one partition other than the operating system of the installation?

    Will there be repercussions to Program Files on one partition other than the operating system of the installation?  Most if not all the software packages allow to customize the installation.  I had an experience with OFFICE 2013 and this allowed me to install on a separate partition.  After installation, I checked the menu START was 2013 OFFICE & I was able to launch PwrPt without complications.

    My motivation for doing this is that I have several versions of LabView which occupies the huge disk space.  So if I can separate the backup image of my OS program files is greatly reduced in size.  This allows me to record several images of my OS by dates without needlessly chewing my external hard drive.

    Anyone know this & if yes are there complications or questions?

    Appreciate any feedback

  • VMware - script the creation of the vm and the operating system installation process

    Hello.

    Trying to determine the exact steps to automate the entire process of creating a virtual machine, and install a linux OS (Rhel/Centos) in the virtual machine. I need to understand the steps to do it entirely from the CLI using scripts. I have seen a few sites that describe the basic process of creation of the VM, which appears to generate the vmdk file.

    I've seen nothing that shows what needs to happen to install the operating system in the virtual machine, in the CLI. This process should be auto/programming, so I can't use the GUI.

    I imagine that the whole process will have to call the process/kickstart file and start from that somehow, but I don't see how the elements fit. The goal is to then have a VM with the required OS/Apps that are then run / deployed by external users on their machines.

    If this process can work, then we can talk to a Council-expert/vmware on the next phase of the project.

    Answer that be detailing how to proceed, or point of item/sites on that would be great!

  • Impossible to download and reinstall the operating system after erasing HD

    Yesterday morning, my iMac won't start.  It was fine the night before.

    The progress bar reaches about two thirds to three quarters of the way to the end when the bar of progress disappears and I find myself with a gray screen. It does this by starting too.

    I followed the advice of Linc Davis at https://discussions.apple.com/message/21333265 (hash) 21333265 (Note - I can't find the symbol of hash on my keyboard key so if you if know where he is, please replace by in the link - oh (hash) and tell me where it's too please ;-)).

    I started the Revovery volume (now here actually).  Run Disk Utility/First aid finds no problem with MacIntosh HD (my boot drive). I can't find how to repair permissions.  The option no longer seems to be there. Reset NVRAM has nothing else that makes the iMac wonder my preferred language.

    I used download and reinstall OS option.  The first time I tried to re-download El Capitan, it took 15 minutes and 45 minutes to install.  Installation failed leaving me to the grey screen again.  I think that the Setup program itself was trying to restart the iMac when he got stuck in the same place I'm stuck.  I left it there for about six hours before I tried to restart manually.

    Tried to download the operating system again. This time, it was after using the recovery volume, select MacIntosh HD, by using erasing, then the option reinstall in THE.

    I did two times now.  The first time I tried 'Erase and re - install' the download bar has got to a point about a third of the way across, and then he stopped. Time of download bar gradually got more and more long, up to what I canceled it (when the display estimated download time is six and a half).  The internet connection was problematic, or the Mac had stopped download (similar to the earier progress bar).  The second attempt to delete and download, the download bar has not yet started to progress.

    My HARD drive has several volumes.

    1. The most important. My MacIntosh HD with OS 10.11.4 - El Capitan.
    2. The second, MacIntosh HD 2, is about 50 GB, a Mavericks installed on it.
    3. The third is 10.11.4 recovery volume.
    4. The fourth is another volume of recovery for the Mavericks.
    5. There is another called eDrive bulkhead.

    Apart from MacIntosh HD, with none of these volumes I problems in starting up (with the possible exception of the Mavericks resumed, that I have not tried to access all since the update to El Capitan).

    I used first aid utility disk several times, and no problems have been reported. I used the version of El Capitan permanently.

    I can't understand why, after erasing the MacIntosh HD to do it again, I can't get the iMac to download the MacOS and reinstall.

    A couple of clues-

    • After his clear utility drive always reports what is MacIntosh HD. (When I restart, the dialog "Select Start Drive" only shows the volume of the Mavericks and eDrive)
    • Disk utility also shows "Apple Disk Image/OS X Base System."  OF THE said that it is ejection. But this button does not work.  I suspect it's what might stop download me the installer and start again.

    I used e-drive to check the iMac and, in particular, the drive HARD; even performed a surface scan.  No problems have been reported.

    Your 2007 iMac is too old to download OS X, you need to install OS X since the recovery partition directly. If this does not work then Yes, something is wrong with your HD run Apple Hardware Test Mode Extended 2 - 3 times back to back, if errors appear which confirms what I said. You will need the original DVD that came with the computer in order to run it.

  • How can I reinstall the operating system with the recurring kernel panics?

    MacBook 1.1, white, plastic, 2.0/2x1GB/80GB/SD/USB.

    It used a lot, but want to keep going for special purposes.  Get kernel panic/black screen when I try to reinstall the operating system on a blank disc;  deleted before trying to reinstall Lion 10.7.3.  Tried other earlier versions of operating system.  Reinstall the memory chips and ordered new ones as a bet.  Made a "Lion" partition the Middle clone backup FW for my MacBook Pro, but there now El Capitan; window said I have bad installer in MB Pro; Cannot install on this new FW partition, but I don't know if this will help anyway.  Must be HW problem; nothing on the MacBook drive.   Diagnosis I could not complete either.  Impossible to wipe FW with the MB Pro, Lion and other stuff loading to attack the problem of HW?   Don't know how to do in this regard.  A new Disk Warrior 5 and old Tech Tool Pro.  Apple HW Test on the original disc from MacBook will not appear either?   Difficult OB!    Challenge yourself, please!   New mem circuits can do. ??

    So I'll try to attack it from the external hard drive, of course, I have to.   But how to find and eliminate the block HW?   Finally, go ask Apple support.

    It doesn't let me finish any operation!

    According to Mactracker, a Macbook 1.1 is limited to Snow Leopard 10.6, as the new OSX compatible.  Do you mean you had lion (10.7) installed?

  • Portege 3490, installation of an operating system?

    I just bought a 2nd hand portege 3490 and I was wondering what the easiest way is to put an operating system on it can I just whack in a USB CD-ROM and do it this way?

    Hello

    normally, you need a PCMCIA CD-ROM because you must start the operating system installation CD when you want to install a new OS!

    But in my opinion, it should also work with a USB disk, a Boot disk and a USB CD Rom

    You must include a driver CD Rom courable on the startup disk.

    You cannot boot from a USB CD directly, try this.

    Or contact you a Toshiba Service partner, they have the PCMCIA reader. But you will pay for it!
