• Qosmio G35-AV650: how remove Vista Boot Manager and install XP

  OK, I got the g35-av650 - US. I don't see any good American forum Toshiba, so I post here.
  First of all, I must say I'm getting very frustrated.

  1: I upgraded my BIOS to try to install windows vista. Vista installed, however, it works well. It must be driver problems. I deleted the partition that I allocated for Vista. Now, how the hell do I remove the screen/start menu in vista.
  I want to get back my XP operating system selection screen.
  I think it has to do with the boot record.

  2: my bluetooth isn't all work more (don't ask me why...) After that I updated the BIOS to version 1.40 to the newest 3.30.

  The recovery CD said I use the CD in the computer wrong? Is it possible to downgrade the BIOS/solve this problem, or bypass it.

  Thanks for the responses, because they will be very appreciated.

  Hello

  (1.) you want to reinstall XP on the HARD drive or you want to cancel only the vista Boot Manager.
  Usually after reinstalling XP, the boot manager should disappear.

  But I found these tips step by step in the internet:

  -Start your computer in Windows XP.
  -Make sure you have the image of Vista DVD emulated or in the DVD drive.
  -Go to start and run. Type in e:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt52 ALL/force (without the quotation marks and replace e: with the letter of your Vista DVD).
  -Restart the computer, and you notice that the selection of start menu disappeared.
  -Format the partition/drive where you installed Vista.
  -Remove the two (Boot.BAK and Bootsect.BAK) files on your file of root of drives XP (c), it was backup of your previous boot loader files, now is more useful.
  -Optional: Restart to make sure it still works.
  -Use your partition software to merge your partitions.

  2.), I hope that you have used the BIOS from the page we Toshiba. However, the BIOS update should not has a bad influence on the functionality of BT. Try to download the latest driver for BT and install again.

  Original title: my child has just installed win 7 but has not removed from Windows vista, how to remove vista so only 7 is running?

  Hi Tarf,

  ·        Are the two copies of Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the partition, or on a different partition?

  ·        At the start of Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you receive two Windows startup options?

  ·        Are you able to boot to Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the computer?

  You can check the following information on your computer and post back the result to help us analyze the problem and remove a copy of Windows Vista.

  Start Windows 7 and Windows Vista installed on the computer and access the computer and check the partitions in Windows to make a note where Windows 7 and Windows Vista are installed and after return of information.

  If you are able to make a note of the partition on which Windows Vista is installed, and if you are confident about it, you can start on Windows 7 and check on which Windows Vista is installed; make a backup of data in Windows Vista and later you can remove folders of Windows files, users and the program or format the partition.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Vista file management - how to remove a vacuum 'briefcase '?

  Hi, I recently had to return to the default OS and have had some data restored through Dell DataSafe online. As a result, however, there are often several versions of the same document, jpeg etc on my users directory. From Office created documents, I am trying to organize the storage and access but keep experiencing problems during the name change, movement and - basically - deletion unnecessary. It tells me that I can't remove it because it's open, fior example. There is a particular case 'towel-style', and even if it is empty I can just get rid of it. It's my home PC, so I am the only user and therefore must have full administrator rights (although I admit looking for the funcutionality of the UAC in Vista to be rather intuitive). I need to understand where I am going wrong before I try to manage the storage of photos and music. Any guidance welcome. Thank you

  To check if your username is an administrator, go to start / Control Panel / / user accounts and check the information under your name - it will tell you if you are an administrator or not.

  Try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin (works only on files, not folders), http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  It may be a simple permission problem.  Give yourself full rights and perhaps even take possession of all the records and files (and folders parents perhaps) that you are handling.  Here are some tips on taking ownership and permissions:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

• I want to remove vista but already have 7 on my machine. How do I do that? I don't see 7 in partitions

  I am trying to remove vista from my laptop.  So I installed 7 and I tried a few methods to say to remove the vista partition is on.  However, I can't tell where vista is and where 7, which is.

  Where do you have windows 7

  The manufacturing as an upgrade.

  Or in the microsoft store, which sent a disc of windows 7?

  Manufacturing of upgrade discs are usually not eligible as a way to freshly install windows 7 because you lose all the crapware that they Prepackaging with their machines.

  Against the interests of manufacturing to give this option,

  In other words, some upgrade disks required to an existing operating system installed.

  Some are not / full versions.

• Help remove vista and options to dual boot with Windows 7

  I think that I have selected the bits from the right here, but please let me know if not.  I recently installed windows 7 and I love it so much I want to remove vista.

  I can't find any instructions on how to make sure (after formatting the drive with Vista on it - it's on a drive of 500 GB physically separated for Win 7) that I can remove the dual boot option, I currently have.  I also read if I do badly I can leave windows 7 unusable.

  Win 7 is a full do not install an upgrade, just like vista.

  Any help on the Microsoft site means how to repair xp, vista or windows 7, so to delete this post.

  Any help or direction is appreciated, I have a few days to make what I just place my order for a 2 TB HDD, so won't try until it happens.

  Hello

  "Just to check and then (which seems easier to me), if I transfer my data from the vista disc (assuming that it is the system disk) then delete and restart with the win7 dvd, a repair will then sign the Windows 7 disk as the system disk and remove any dual boot option?

  Yes, it should work. As the Win7 disk does not currently startup files, made only with this disc a repair will create the most necessary.

  "Out of curiosity if I format the Vista disc, and then restart your computer with the win7 dvd, this will give the same effect as having Remode the floppy disk in the first place?

  No, except if you use Disk Manager to designate the Win7 drive than active first. If you simply format the Vista disk and then run a repair, startup files will be rewritten on the disk of Vista.
