• The recovery disk reformatted TWO hard disks on Satellite P200?

  Hello

  My Satellite P200 has two hard drives.
  When I use the recovery disc, it reformatted both drives or only one where Vista will be? I chose the first option, by the way.
  Thank you, in advance, for your help.

  If you choose the first option in recovery then it reformatted only the first HARD drive and it will consider the other HDD as additional storage space, as if it were a memory stick. When you get to the point of recover where you choose the operating system to install, it takes an option for settings or Expert mode. In one of them, I think that you can configure recovery and set up partitions.

  If you want the operating system must be installed on both drives HARD, which is a bit useless, you have to remove one then do the reocvery on the other and then replace the retrieved by another and then to perform the recovery on that one. The only thing that I think this will mess up to comes from the computer won't know what MBR (Master Boot Record) to load, but if this isn't a problem then you can do what I just mentioned.

  I hope this helps.

• If I do a fresh install of windows vista will be I need to reformat my hard drive

  If I do a new install of WINDOWS VISTA I have to format to reformat my hard disks/drives?

  Or do all what I have to do after doing a clean install, then back to factory settings?  Could I use my other computers of WIN7 installation disc to upgrde it?

  Hello

  Your Windows 7 disc question topic:

  What is an OEM of Windows 7 license, or a license to retail that you have bought yourself?

  If preinstalled license of Windows 7 OEM or system integrator, it is related that it is installed on the original computer.

  If it is a retail license, you can transfer it to another computer.

  BUT a retail sales license can be installed on a single computer at any time.

  With the help of different methods to reinstall the hard drive for a clean reinstall Vista formats.

  Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And read this information on Windows 7, before you install it:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Reinstall Win XP without reformatting the hard disk

  Hello

  Is it possible to reinstall Win XP on my Equium A60 without having to reformat the HD? The HD currently has only one partition.

  Thanks in advance,
  Mike

  Hello Mike

  Unfortunately, it is not possible. If you use the whole HARD disk recovery disk will be formatted until the installation begins. If you want to preinstall unit with recovery disk to save all your data on external media such as external HARD drive or burn them on CD or DVD.

  If you wish, you can create two partitions using the installation in expert mode.

• Reformat the hard disk

  I'm trying to reformat my hard drive with Vista Home on it. I got to the point where it has the drivers and partitions.  I deleted all the until it says unallocated space.  I click on the unallocated space and can't click on the format option.  How can ensure me that my hard drive reformatted completely until I have to reinstall vista.

  Hello

  read this tutorial on how to clean install vista

  the figures used are only an example

  http://www.theeldergeek.com/Vista/vista_clean_installation.html

  	Once determined the type of installation, it's time to decide where to install Vista. As you can see on the screenshot options in this scenario are limited. There is a 20 GB hard drive and it is all unallocated space. If your intention is to return the entire disk in Vista with none of the additional partitions for other uses, all you have to do is click on disk 0, and then click the [next] button. The installation will continue. This is the absolute minimum step. However, if you want to partition the disk and format (unnecessary at this point, but possible), then click on "route Options" for additional choices.
  	This is an example of how you can divide the drive into partitions before continuing the installation. I used the option "New" to create a 10 GB partition in the unallocated space. It will become the primary partition and leave an another 10 GB as unallocated space.
  	This is what it looks like after that initial 20 GB of unallocated space was divided. The first 10 GB of disk space is now identified as Partition 1 and the second 10 GB remains as unallocated space. If you want you can select the remaining unallocated space and use the command [new] to create another partition and can be formatted using the [Format] command. Note that the [Extend] command is also available for use. Clicking on it you will allow to "extend" 1 Partition in the unallocated space. Unlike some programs of partitioning that allow to resize a partition in two directions (more grand/smaller), the command "expand" uses the size of the partition as the minimum size and allows you to increase or "extend" if it includes the unallocated space.

• Disk utility was unable to repair the Time Machine USB2 external HARD disk partition?

  Hello.

  My client has problem with its USB2 500 GB Seagate FreeAgent Go since early 2010. There 2 partitions: FAT32 and HFS (for most Time Machine backups). After connection and enter its password valid successfully, it takes a minute to set up, and then a message that says "OS X cannot repair the «...» "You can still open or copy the files on the disk, but you cannot save changes to the files on the disc. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can. "I ran disk with their verification utility. Both are problems with "invalid sibling link" and said the repair option. However, this repair option is grayed out.  So, is it not possible to fix it with free software on the disk except for the reformat?

  I used two different 15 "MacBook Pro (Mac OS X v10.8.5/Mt. mid-2012 lion and v10.10.5/Yosemite of the early 2013) with the same results, is not the MacBook Pros. http://imgur.com/a/OW0s6 for a couple screen
  s (shooting/capture) of Mac OS X v10.10.5/Yosemite. I also tried disk on its FAT32 partition checks, and found minor problems. They were repairable too unlike the encrypted HFS partition.

  Thank you in advance.

  Disk utility can't repair an error of invalid sibling link. You use Disk Warrior that assuming that the disk is always good. Otherwise, you will need to save what you can then reformat the hard drive. Exactly what the error message said.

• Satellite M115-S3094: how to make a partition without reformatting the HARD drive?

  Hello

  1.), I use the Partitions Magic 8 to create partitions on the HARD drive.
  This application is very nice and I love it all simply ;)
  You can change the size of the partitions, status and you can fully manage the partitions on the HARD disk. And the best thing is you do not need to format anything B-)

  2.) well, the computer Toshiba laptop are delivered also with the recovery CD. I think that all manufacturers of laptops offers this CD of restoration with own products.
  In any case, on this CD, you'll find Tosh preinstalled operating system drivers.
  If you want to install other OS (XP MCE) you can do it, but you should check if there are drivers that are needed for this OS. But I have XP drivers should also work with thin MCE.

  The cost factor, an appropriate player motivated this answer because of your VIsta operating system.

  You must copy the data files on the D drive to C drive.  Although RAID0 conforms to the standards of the AHCI, it is better to change to AHCI in the BIOS. See here that will allow a single hard drive. (The old D disk be reformatted and installation of the OS). In the end, you will need an adapter (like this one) to convert the old disk USB file copying, files of data back to the newly installed C drive.  Such an adpater can be found on Amazon.

  I would have been back sooner, but I'm distracted.

  Hello

  I saw the 0x0000007B BSOD caused by trying to install XP on a disk hard while the BIOS is designating the reader as AHCI instead of IDE. XP has no native AHCI drivers, resulting in a stop 7B. Unless the PC had originally Vista or Win 7, but it might be useful to check that it is not likely.

  If the BIOS is set to AHCI, you could do one of three things (depending on whether your PC has a floppy drive)...

  1 find the Setup F6 disk on AHCI support at installation time (start with the manufacturer's website if you do not already have such a thing). Watch the very hit F6 prompt early in the installation process.

  2. change the setting in BIOS on IDE / ATA

  3. create a new "slipstreaming" installation disc drivers AHCI in the existing installation disc, see http://www.nliteos.com/index.html

  Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

  http://www.theeldergeek.com/disk_management.htm

  In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.
