Remove the Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue. He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive.

I had to have my hard drive replaced and the company that made him put two versions of 32-bit and 64-bit Vista Home Premium on it.  Soon, I discovered that I was getting conflict on my computer and he discovered that the two were on the hard drive.  I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 7, but I'm at the stage where it tells me to seek answers on the removal of Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue.  He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive.  I know the other option is to do a clean business, but I would avoid this possibility if possible.

need an answer as soon as possible... Thank you

Hello

The best way is to clean install and start over.

In addition, it is not legal to have both installed version that the license is for a single installation.

If it is a dual boot with 32 bit and 64 bit installed on different partitions, there would not have been the conflicts you would have never started in one or the other.

See you soon.

  • After I had my computer repaired due to a virus, my Windows Vista said that it is not authentic.

    I am a teacher in a college.

    I have original vista of window for the past three years. Recently, my system got viruses. I went to a computer store. And left my laptop with him to solve my problem. I gave my original vista 32 bit cd. But now my window is not enabled. And he says that this key is already in use for someone. What I fear is that the merchant has installed on another computer and have turned on too. Is it possible so that I prove that I am the original purchaser of the window. I always have with me the original packaging of the window. Please help me.

    original title: window is not enabled.

    There seems to be no problem with the installation - with the exception of the fact that it has not been activated.

    # You have need Vista compatible drivers - it's the only way it will work.  Installing bad drivers can even to hurt the unit or even your system to not try.  Get a new USB device that works with Vista, and has the correct drivers.

    Hi n m,

    Boot you from the DVD to start the installation, or have you started the installation in the existing version of Windows?

    I would like to know if you want to perform a new installation or an upgrade installation.

    You can not install Windows on an unallocated partition, if you install vista on brand\fresh the new hard disk, you will need to create partitions on the hard disk.

    Method 1:  Format the partition and then try to install Windows Vista.

    Important: The applications on the computer and all data will be lost when you format (New Installation) of the partition.

    Method 2: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below

  • I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d

    I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d. I 26 gig on the d drive and only using less than 1% of it, and I have the same amount on c, but only 39% c left. How to do this.

    LEM explained the problems that you tried to resize partitions on the same drive.

    You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

    The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

    A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

    You can generate more space in the system (usually C) the folder move partition.

    For temporary Internet files, select Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, temporary Internet files. Settings and move back.

    To move the storage folder Outlook Express select from Outlook Express Tools, Options, maintenance, store folder and change.  http://www.tomsterdam.com/insideoe/files/store.htm.

    How to change the default location of the My Documents folder: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310147

    You may also change the default locations of the files in Microsoft Office programs when you choose to move the My Documents folder. For Word, go to tools, Options, file locations, highlight the Documents, click on edit and change the path. For Excel, go to tools, Options, general, and change the default path.

    My Documents is one of the many the created system of special folders, which include my pictures, and my music. It can be more easily modified using TweakUi. Download TweakUI, one of MS powertoys, here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp.

    In TweakUi, select workstation, special folders. You can scroll down to see the full list of special folders to the left of the button to change the location.

    You can move programs, but to do this, you must uninstall and reinstall the program. With Word and Excel, the existing data files are not affected by reinstalling. Most of the work in question is going to be reinstall all updates issued after those that are included with the original Microsoft CD / DVD.

    If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

    Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked. Notwithstanding, there are some files that are hidden. Again, you will not see the System Volume Information folder.
