Reset hardware g580 (delete all partitions)

I recently bought a g580 with windows 8 is installed. He didn't get any installation media.

I tried to install linux (the wrong way) and now I messed up my hard drive. The reader has like 8 different partitions and the boot loader invite you to charge me linux, even if it is not currently installed.

I want to reset my computer to factory settings, delete all my partitions and keep windows 8.

IE I want to make the computer exactly as it was when I got it, I am more conserned with the hard drive and I want to own, with only the necessary partitions installed.

Thank you!

Hi and thanks!

I actually just installed linux over everything and it works fine so I won't do much to solve this problem immediately.

I think it is strange that it is so difficult to "reset" a partitions of hard disks. But in any case, thank you for your answer!

    After booting from the recovery CD, you should get 2 options;
    -Standard mode
    -Expert mode

    Using the Standard mode, the whole HARD disk will be formatted. Also al partitions will be erased.

    In expert mode, you may have chosen was the XP must be installed.

    I put t know what you did, but I presume that you have chosen the first method satandard

  • Satellite U840-10R: is it possible to delete all partitions + install Win 8

    Hello everyone,

    I bought a labtop U840-10R yesterday and I would like to know if it is possible to delete all TOSHIBA partitions and create a single partition SSD (for windows 8) and another 500 GB for files?

    I met some difficulties to understand how SSD technology is currently used, so if you have information...

    Thank you

    Before you remove anything from the HARD drive, I recommend the establishment of recovery disk.
    The recovery disk allows you to set the system back to factory settings.
    After these disks have been created, you can do whatever you want :)

  • Can I delete all partitions and leave only the BONES? What are the implications?

    Hi all!

    I just bought a HP Pavilion desktop computer and I want to create a primary partition to install Linux and another to store my files, but I can have only 4 partitions on a drive, and the HP Pavilion comes with 3 partitions already.

    So, I think that the only partition required for Windows 7 is the appointed a "BONE", right?

    I imagine that if I delete the SYSTEM and HP_RECOVERY partitions? Windows will always start after I remove them?

    (I'm more worried about this SYSTEM partition... What is it anyway?)

    Thank you!

    OK, I was able to create 2 extended partitions and do what I wanted without having to remove anything... Thanks anyway!

  • Impossible to delete the partitions of a table with the number of rows is zero

    Hi all

    I want to delete all partitions on all the tables in a schema having the number of lines equal to zero.

    I use the queries below to get a solution.

    Select 'EDIT '. '' || 'TABLE ' | TABLE_NAME | 'DROP '. 'PARTITION | Nom_partition from dba_tab_partitions where TABLE_OWNER = "xyz";

    Select count (*) in the table table_name partition (nom_partition).

    Edited by: 887563 October 17, 2011 13:39

    If you trust your statistics, you can simply use the stat num_rows in dba_tab_partitions:

    select *
    from dba_tab_partitions
    where table_owner = 'MY_SCHEMA'
    and num_rows = 0;
    

    But I think what you try to get some code like this:

    declare
      v_rows number;
      v_statement varchar2(500);
    begin
      for c in (select *
                from dba_tab_partitions
                where table_owner = 'MY_SCHEMA') loop
        v_statement := 'select count(*) from '||c.table_name||
                       ' partition ('||c.partition_name||') where rownum=1';
        --dbms_output.put_line(v_statement);  --for debugging
        execute immediate(v_statement)
        into v_rows;
        --dbms_output.put_line(c.table_name||' '||c.partition_name||' '||v_rows);  --for debugging
        if v_rows = 0 then
          v_statement := 'ALTER TABLE '||c.TABLE_NAME||' DROP PARTITION ' || c.PARTITION_NAME;
          dbms_output.put_line(v_statement); --shows the drop statements
          --execute immediate(v_statement); --remove comment to execute
        end if;
      end loop;

  • AOL have diverted the search bar, deleted all the other engines and disabled the reset.

    I noticed that at some point today the search bar was reset to aol. I removed aol in the bar, but now there is NO option to search engine. All done malware also deleted all other options in search bar, disabled by default reset settings and seems to have deleted the folder of drive C search plugins. I tried an add-on to restore the default choice, but it didn't work. I tried to reset Firefox and a system restore. None worked. I copied the folder searchplugins from a backup, but that has not changed anything. I don't see a new Mozilla Firefox folder (34) as indicated in some other threads. I looked into: config and there are new things for aol it but I do not know how to remove them or what, if anything should replace them.

  • Create a mapping of partition will delete all my data?

    I have serious problems with a hard disk. I have vital data and do not lose them. After much research, I have concluded that the partition plan is down. My question is: create a map of partition will delete all my data? "I found this app ' iPartition" who is able to create an apple partition map but warns me that my data will be lost. I remember from my research that people were saying that the data will be fine. Could someone help me! I think I'm losing it: p

    Creating a new partition map will not physically destroy the data on your HARD drive, but it will make it inaccessible. You need to start some recovery/restore software tools to recover your data. But the 100% success is not guaranteed. You are most probably going to lose some or all of your data in this process.

    Before trying anything, get an another HARD drive of the same size as the original, and create a clone (e.g. using dd in the Terminal). It must be a clone like that would give you an exact copy of the original, including the partition table broke and all the data on all partitions.

    When you have your clone store the original HARD disk in a safe place and carry out all repairs and attempts at recovery on the clone. In this way whatever you do degrades the original HDD already weakened.

    An alternative to the above process would be to find a company that specializes in restoring the data. But who can become very, very, very expensive.

    BTW, if you do not have a backup of your data, it cannot be so important. I suggest that start to implement a backup procedure now.

    Hi @Quikstix,

    Thank you for posting. I read your post, and I understand that you were trying to do a clean install of Windows 10.

    If you delete the operating system on your hard drive, you must use the support/recovery disks to restore the system first. Then you can upgrade the system to Windows 10 and perform a clean installation.

  • 23 all-in-One Pavilion: a Factory Reset also renews the recovery Partition?

    I just did a Factory reset on my 23 all-in-One Pavilion. Previously, in the past, I had inadvertently erased the recovery disc. Fortunately, as I just discovered in the rebuilding process, I did a flash backup restore.

    (1) now that I have to order, updated to 8.1 has done that also recover this recovery on the hard disk drive.

    (2) the last time I did the flash recovery he had only windows 8. Now that I have 8.1 on that I should make a new flash with window 8.1 on this recovery?

    I know that last time I did restore flash he reported that it was a matter of time. Could not do another restore backup discs or Flash after this one. So I suspect that if the recovery disc has not been restored too it does not allow me to make a new key USB recovery stick?

    If clearing cookies doesn't work, then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

  • How to perform a hard reset Hardware/Software problems

    Troubleshooting hardware and software with a Hard Reset

    Recently, I have been see a large number of issues that can be resolved, or at least try to be solved with a hard reset. A hard reset is one of the major steps in troubleshooting for a wide variety of issues. Issues such as a none responsive, computer keyboard do not start properly, software frozen, etc.

    Why a hard reset works:

    By performing a hard reset, you must remove all power from the computer. This will not occur when you restart or shut down the computer. Even by removing the battery briefly, there may be still some electricity stored in capacitors. When you do the hard reset it deletes the last drop of power from the computer. This clears all the RAM and basically force the computer to re-establish a connection between the BIOs and hardware. It will solve some problems wobbly a majority of the time, and therefore, why it is a great troubleshooting step base.

    If this does not resolve the problem, you are seen be sure to create a new thread and lists all the troubleshooting steps you have tried and also to give a detailed explanation on the issue that you are experiencing.

  • Automatic updates of Vista have deleted all the data on my desk.

    Recently my laptop Toshiba running Vista business done the automatic updates during the night, the morning I found that he had deleted all the folders, files and icons on my desktop (including the important work files), had changed the wallpaper, reset all my Internet properties and changed the login screen.

    What I can do, are very important files.

    I tried to restore the system to an earlier date, but this made no difference.

    I also tried to contact Microsoft, who acknowledged my report and said they would be back to me within one business day, which was seven days ago.

    Hi mbuk,.

    Welcome to Windows Vista answers Forums!

    With automatic updates, you want to lose the data stored on the system.

    Once removed the HDD data can't be recovered. However, you can use your favorite search engine to browse third-party data recovery software and use this software to recover data.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    You can also view the following link to recover lost or deleted files and try the steps:
