• remove the operating system

  Hi I want to completely erase the HARD drive and replace the operating system.

  Windows 8.1 is better than 8 buggy, horrible but if I'm tired and want to go back to windows 7, where it does not crash and is just so much more stable.

  I have a HP Envy 700-230ea. It will not recognize a device to boot to other operating systems, so I can't wipe it off and replace it becomes prety frustrating so why I am here now.

  I also noticed that the bios is pretty much non-existent saddens me also!

  I spent £900 on a computer I should at least be able to put the operating system what ever I like about it.

  Please can you help.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  To perform the boot from your Windows 7 installation disc, you will need to boot into the Bios Menu, and then disable Secure Boot and allow material - see the document at the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03659945

  Additional drivers for Windows 7 64-bit is on the following link.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=6753462

  Note:  Looking at the specs of your PC, it is listed as coming with Windows 8.1 if the HARD drive will have a Partition Table GUID - assuming you are going to install a 64 bit version of Windows 7, just choose the CDROM (uefi) option from the Boot Manager (tap away at f9 as you turn the power on) to start the installation.

  Kind regards

• I managed to successfully install a copy of 'clean' of Vista on D:\. How can I remove the operating system incorrectly installed D:\?

  Thank you Mick: This information has been useful and I'm glad I read through it to better understand how to work the partiions.  Having said that, however, I need not expand c:\ and/or remove d:\.  I just need to remove a version of Vista installed drive d:\ I placed on it in error.  At the time, I didn't know I don't follow the prompts closely enough and managed to put a second copy of Vista OS 32-bit Home Basic edition on the wrong drive.

  Since then, I have installed correctly copy 'clean' Vista on c:\ and things are now going smoothly.

  Now, I just need to understand how to properly uninstall Vista from the wrong drive d:\.

  Can anyone help with this?  Thank you very much.

• IQ504 a upgrade XP/7: remove the OP system all together to add 8 Winxows

  I've upgraded to windows 7 in 2010.  The computer does not completely all the drivers for updates, or will run it the recovery program to remove windows 7. I read the small print on the software of Windows 8 and it says that it cannot be installed on Windows Vista (even if the machine has been upgraded.

  Q. can I completely remove the operating system of the motherboard and then add Windows 8?

• Why I can boot into safe mode with internet connection, use the operating system, etc., but can not open a normal session without password administrator; who got the disabled.

  OEM Vista Home Premium. Normal startup does not recognize the password. When you click User icon it says: "your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator"I looked in the mirror, but it did not help. Booted, press F8, went in safe mode with network connection. Everything seemed to be there. Surf the internet and then started to ask me why I don't have a password here when I did normal start-up. What is the password? Check "Microsoft Answers", but what I came out which was, I need to reinstall the OS, which I can't do it without a drive anyway.  I thought that I've used it before, I knew the password. This computer has been recently "reinstalled" internal folder 'restore '. Something must happen. A unknown password can be removed from safe mode? Ultimately how reinstall you a clean Vista when all you have is the key to product and no local or OEM support? What would be the difference between a password reset disk and the OS disk.  The two would probably be stored side by side. Not to mention that most of us Dummies want to just surf to buy, and if we can not surf, we cannot buy. Dummies help us get back on the internet, Microsoft. At least take care of this shot.

  Hi PAM,.

  In Safe Mode, try to activate the high administrator account http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.  Then log in using account and use it to solve problems with your normal administrator account login via control panel / user accounts / manage other accounts.  Find the one you want and make the appropriate changes to fix it.  If you can't, then you need to address as a corrupt account by using the following procedure:

  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If this is the only available administrator profile (you must be an administrator to solve this problem), activate the hidden administrator account (HAA) (i.e. what you did above, or you can do this by using these instructions instead: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001970/How_to_access_the_true_Administrator_account_in_Windows_Vista?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1.)

  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

  The fact that it says it is disabled gives me to think that you can use the guest or built-in Administrator account already (as normally, you cannot disable an account, but you can with these two which cannot be deleted and only disabled).

  The password reset disk is only good if created before that you need and only to restore a password, do not to activate a disabled account.  Another thing that goes beyond passwords here.

  A recovery disk allows you to do some advanced options of recovery by booting the disk, but it will help you restore the operating system (or help you with this problem either).

  An Installation of Vista genuinve disc (the operating system drive as you seem to be describing) is a disk that contains the operating system.  That, if it is the original disc supplied with the system and is exactly the same as the product OEM key that you must allow you to do a clean OS install (although I would be first backup you'll pretty much lost everything in the process).  The following should help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html.

  If you have a factory Conditions or a recovery Partition restore disk, then these are alternatives to a clean install if you don't have this disc.  But the procedure varies according to the manufacturer, make and model of PC.  Most of the manufacturers will allow you to buy these records of restoration (for a fee) If you cannot do it with a recovery Partition cannot create diskettes from the recovery Partition or have no other option.  Visit the support site of the computer for information on this topic, available options, and related costs.

  If you cannot enable the built-in Administrator account and cannot access the system in normal mode with this or another administrator account, then I'm afraid a clean install or restore to factory conditions is your only option.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Remove windows vista without starting the operating system

  Hello! IAM using windows vista. Lately, I just figured that the computer has the virus iam so think upgrade to windows7 and I want to remove vista first. Is it possible to remove vista without starting? Sombody help please! Thank you!

  2. an upgrade is performed from an operating system of windows in your vista case, unless microsoft advises otherwise; does not apply in your case

  solve your problem of malware or clean reinstall vista 1st - then upgrade

  Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php

  You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

  If it does not remove the problem and or work correctly in normal mode do work above in safe mode with networking

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  ____________________________________________________

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Where is the peripheral origin obsolete event ID 370 print spooler? Obsolete device can be removed from the operating system?

  I get a recording of event ID 370, about once every four days, what about the EPSON Stylus COLOR 460 printer ESC/P 2. I recognize the device as an old device, which is no longer necessary, that I thought was completely uninstalled years ago and I am slightly surprised to see that the tracks still on the computer, or not, as it appears.

  It is that I don't know if this record event was caused by a device driver package or the registry keys and values? Is the event ID 370 caused by or for both (device driver package / registry values) being obsolete?

  I have the old appliance any longer, so it seems sensible to remove traces of the system and in turn eliminate the causes of event ID 370. However, to find all traces causing the registration of the event? What traces can be removed without problem?

  1 today, this device does not show as a device available in display devices and printers to devices and printers.

  2, I was unable to see a name similar unused volume in trying to remove the old device (when looking faded icons in the branches of the Device Manager with emphasis on -pilot no Plug and Play, other devices, portable devices, Port (COM & LPT), Printers).

  3 reveals regedit there are registry keys and values in the registry that reference naked always at "EPSON" searches for the word. Yes, I have reason to assume that these registry keys and values have caused event ID 370? Is it safe to delete the registry entries, or should the registry key entries to receive new values? (I don't want the deletion of these registry values to cause instability in the print spooler.)

  Event ID 370 Description:
  The print spooler could not regenerate printer driver information for driver Epson Stylus COLOR 460 ESC/P 2 for Windows x 64 environment. Win32 system 2114 error code (0 x 842). This can happen after an upgrade of the operating system or due to loss of data on the hard drive.

• My computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants). How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

  As says the question: my computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants).  How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

  I'm running a full system scan in ESM right now, and it has detected multiple instances of sirefef.   I have remove as they pop up, but I'm afraid that when I run another scan they all will always be there.  Is there a way to know if MSE is actually remove them and he cleaning?  If not, should I do a back up and reinstall the OS?

  Thank you.  I can choose to try this, however, I would like an answer to my other questions first.

  Sirefef is a rootkit and yes he can hide in your system.  This is why it has been suggested that you may need to reformat/reinstall.  In fact, it's the only way to eliminate malware.  Multiple scans with several scanners and no conclusion malware probably indicate he disappeared, but the key word is "probably".  Malwarebytes is good and what he finds now may be traces of the infection, but what he finds perhaps not active more - it is always good to run the scans so.

  What spare drive did you run?  What scanners did you use?  See again you and follow the guide "Malwaretips"?

  For the firewall problem, you can try the following Microsoft Fixit.

  Diagnose and automatically fix problems of Windows Firewall service

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_firewall_diagnostic/en-us

  One of the users of the Forum answers maintains that a great guide on information security is important for understanding the removal of malicious software.  See the following compliments of Brian M - for suggestions on how to solve your problem: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide/#after see: after the removal process and solve the problems of Post disinfection

  Uninstall/reinstall of MSE is how?  All the problems?  Have you tested MSE with eicar to be sure it's working?

  Assume that you have not had an opportunity to review the MSE Installation Checklist or you would have noted that MSE and Windows Defender cannot be used on the same computer.  So if WD works in fact it means MSE has been disabled/not not work correctly or not installed.

  Hello.

First of all, I can't open my camera RAW (I can with my Lightroom software, but not with my Photoshop software?). So I can't open any of my files of digital camera? Second, I can open a .jpeg file and use the Photoshop software and I can save the changes, but when I turn off my calculated the software doesn't seem to be on my computer. When I go to Windows ' search program and files "software is not located here. When I go to "Uninstall" the software of the foldername is there it is. "Photoshop CS3" but there isn't any size file to it IE 400 MB, while my software "Lightroom" on the 'uninstall' section will have a file for example size 400 MB tied to it. Thirdly, I also have a photosoftware of B + W, which operated in Photoshop; It's "NIK software - Silver Efex Pro" and it is located in the subtitle of 'filter' of Photoshop CS3. I use Silver Efex and all functions are working properly, but I can't save the file, it does not save the changes to save.

  Please can you help me.

  Yes, the collection clears all of the C drive and you will lose your files. The solution would be to backup regularly to an external HARD drive and after the key one to also restore the files from the external hard drive.

  original title: Notepad KB?

  I have 2 drives on my netbook.   Drive C maintains by becoming short space, drive D seems unaffected.   It seems that windows updates can be the cause of drive C to become clogged by placing the notebook in the windows folder, these notebooks are labeled with KB numbers are complete gibberish to me.    I can't remove programs out of drive C because it is the operating system.

  If I can remove these notebooks without affecting the operating system, there seems to be a lot of bytes and kilobytes being exhausted with these notebooks.

  If they have a .log file extension, you can remove them. The small amount of bytes and kilobytes don't take up that much space.

• 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

• If I use the SSD to initiate the operating system and a hard disk of data what exactly will be the benefit of this end?

  Hello

  I would like to know if I use the SSD drive for the operating system boot and a hard drive for data. What will be the benefit of this effect,

  I know that SSDS starts much more quickly and reads and writes data faster.

  When I use the SSD for OS then my only wil advantage so I have faster from the OS, not more than

  but the reading and writing data wil either by the hard drive so I wil not use all the benefits of the SSD, data wil be read and written by hard drive!

  Am I right or wrong?

  Johan

  SSD benefits for most of the time of loading, and it is for all software. If you install Windows on a SSD and return to a HARD drive after a few weeks you will certainly appreciate the value of an SSD, just for the

  only the loading.

  While startup in Windows is the most obvious, the Windows advantage is usually a bit snappier

  on an SSD.

  An SSD expected to also help in many programs such as Photoshop, video editing, the processing speeds

  or CAD, due to data being created during the writing of these programs.

  I think the reads and writes more visible with large files.

  All my programs are on the SSD, but my games are on the HARD disk.

  Games to load a large number of data and will load faster on an SSD, but it's still a few seconds.

  and as games use a lot of Go, it is not really profitable to keep (150 +) on an SSD.

  -J' I keep most of my data, except the music (to save space) in my user folder, but haven't really

  noticed a difference in speed when opening a data file, such as a Word, PDF, images, or similar

  'small' files from the HARD drive.
  -I wouldn't take an SSD less 120 GB. Try to run Windows on a 60GB translate too

  stuffing autour with management of data between the SSD and HDD. In particular, as it should be

  keep 20% an SSD free to allow the two "garbage collection" and deliver a load of

  cells of extra memory to extend the life of the DSS (data gets moved to empty cells when the cells die).

  There is also a noticeable difference between the speeds of SATA2 and SATA 3 controller, so if your motherboard uses the SATA2 more the advantage of an SSD is not as great as with SATA3.

  In addition, the new SATA3 SSD controllers are faster than those of two years ago.

  SSD is a big enough topic. There are many items in the wild that may be useful.
