• How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

  How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
  Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

  How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

  Any correction, automated for this?

  Thank you.

  It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

  Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

• How can I copy all the content from my old hard drive on my hard drive again?

  My old PC is on its last breath and I decided to replace it. I bought a new more powerful PC and thought that by installing my old hard drive (Windows 7 on a Sata Drive) be simple and give me all my current programs without the need to install again. Unfortunately, my new PC refuses to recognize the old drive and I need these programs. How to copy all the contents of a new (bigger hard disk) without loss of functionality.

  Any help greatly appreciated

  Remove the old drive, (just unplug its cables) reboot the PC, it does not start?

  If the method of connection of the old drive was at fault

  (Or bother readers origonal connections when you installed the old disk)

  BTW, you can not use the old drive as primary boot on your new PC drive, or you can access all the programs that have been installed on this subject.

• How to extract the EFS certificate to old hard drive as an external drive

  I got a Windows XP Professional computer on which I had encrypted files using EFS. Now, I have a new computer, Windows 7 Home Premium, but I did not export the old WinXP machine EFS certificates/keys. I can't start the old machine again because I had to open a lot of "stuff" to remove the hard drive. Now I have the physical hard disk from my old machine in a HARD drive enclosure, and it is connected to the new Windows 7 machine via a USB port, that is, as an external hard drive.

  My question is: can I extract my the old hard drive Windows XP EFS certificates/keys if it is connected as an external hard drive? Or I have to start my new computer in Windows XP with the old hard drive, then export the certificates by using the normal procedure?

  Thank you...

  If your old rained hard drive works fine on the new machine, then you can make use of EFS certificates/keys

• Removed from the Windows user account

  Today, when I connect my frequently used user profile, I noticed that it took a few minutes longer than usual, and while he was connect it says "Preparing your desktop..." ». When I am, I noticed that my office had been completely annihilated. The background has been in the background of Windows 7 by default, my theme is gone and all my files on my complete profile have been removed. Is there a way can I fix? I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything. I didn't save anything, and I was wondering if there is a way to restore my files.

  I didn't save anything, and I was wondering if there is a way to restore my files.

  There are two types of people: those who support their important files regularly to an external hard drive and those who choose to wait until they are suffering from a major disaster. You get dangerously close to join the second group.

  Your files are likely still around and so is your profile. You might be able to restore things as follows:

  1. Keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
  2. Select Repair from the menu.
  3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
  4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  5. Configure Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
  6. Plan ahead a little and create, test, and document an alternative admin account, even though you have a spare House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

• removal of the windows installation

  somehow my vm ware has the xp installation system and xp operating system loaded, and when I start the vm ware, it tries to start the default setup and freezes in a mistake.  I have to manually choose XP so it can open.  What should I do to get rid of the installation system

  Hehe - you used the version the most advanced to do the same thing I had in mind

  Now you will have always a directory on C: that you no longer need - it is usually a directory with a name starting and ending with a sign $.

  It's probably the issue of the media descriptor byte. Read here:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=140060

  Format the same number of different disks on your machine and take
  them and the 'old' you want to read to a computer running an old
  version of Windows. Copy them into your newly formatted diskettes and bring
  return to your computer, when they should be readable.

  Also on the old machine to copy the disks in various media,

• Can we move that a backup of the Windows Image to a different drive location years still be able to use it to restore?

  I did a Windows 'backup system image"when first of all, I got my new computer and put it on a hard drive internal, designated as"D", which was intended to be used for data. I tried to do a restore, and although very "fussy" has been able to do.

  The image of the system take much space and if I had to do over again I would have put somewhere else.

  I have read that the image cannot be moved to another location or it will no longer be abel to to beused to restore from. Is this true?

  (1) can I move the image of the system upward (and parent folders he created) to another drive (preferably external) and still be able to restore from it if necessary?

  (2) can I move the image of the system upward (and parent folders he created) to another drive (preferably external) and move them back the same origin drve and still be able to restore from them if necessary.

  (3) the optimum would be a stand-alone backup on external media (such as the blu - ray, DVD, etc.) to restore from scratch, if necessary.

  I use Windows 7 64-bit.

  Thanks in advance.

  You can move your images wherever you want, but to restore from them, the WindowsImageBackup folder should be moved to the root of a drive, so you can move it to

  J:\WindowsImageBackup

  for example.  J: didn't need to be the drive that the image was made for the first time on.

  I found confusing indications that Windows might support images being elsewhere as the image during the restoration list would identify the correct date & time for the last image on the disc.  However, it would then only work with an image that I grow in X:\WindowsImageBackup as explained above.

  I managed my images using a subfolder of H:\ J:\ or O:\ called ImagesWin7, which itself has 20120205 1126 etc. subfolders.  I put some descriptive info I want in the relevant subfolder so I can see key information easily if I want to restore.  Then, I create the image & move this folder WindowsImageBackup, so I find myself with O:\ImagesWin7\20120205 1126\WindowsImageBackup and I also have a 1126\Explanation.txt of O:\ImagesWin7\20120205 of the text file that contains my notes on what I was just doing or was about to do on the system.

  What is resolved issues for you?  If this isn't the case, please let me know your remaining questions.

  It IS a big help (since this is exactly what I was trying to accomplish).

  Education path for my pictures of system includes a machine name

  (i.e. the 170453\ J:\WindowsImageBackup\MachineName\Backup 2010-12-03)

  Can I have added the word "Backup" myself as a descriptor that I don't remember.

  I also have added the subfolder/directory "MachineName" myself. I don't remember.

  Will have to start from scratch and create another backup of WindowsImage (without any writing help) and see what is the path for this image. Then attempt to restore etc and if it works then try again restore one of my old backups.

  It may be I made the backup unusable images (even if they are visible for the restore program) by changing the path and / / or folder names. Although it seems that you have also done this with your "imagesWin" directory You replace the image backup in the root directory, and then restore it?

  The only reason for all this must be able to reach and (if necessary access and restore from) one of the first images saves when the machine was new, blank before installing the software ay etc. Easier to make a bare metal restore to install Win7 from scratch, load the drivers and configure etc.

  As mentioned above, I now use ShadowProtect Desktop 4 for backups image system (including incremental images) and have found that it is great (and images can be moved to any directoyr and bootable recovery environment will restore bare metal from any location, USB, DVD, same network etc.

  Better documentation of Windows would have certainly been useful,

  Thanksfor your ideas
