Hello

1.), I use the Partitions Magic 8 to create partitions on the HARD drive.
This application is very nice and I love it all simply ;)
You can change the size of the partitions, status and you can fully manage the partitions on the HARD disk. And the best thing is you do not need to format anything B-)

2.) well, the computer Toshiba laptop are delivered also with the recovery CD. I think that all manufacturers of laptops offers this CD of restoration with own products.
In any case, on this CD, you'll find Tosh preinstalled operating system drivers.
If you want to install other OS (XP MCE) you can do it, but you should check if there are drivers that are needed for this OS. But I have XP drivers should also work with thin MCE.

    Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/disk_management.htm

    In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.

    Hello

    You do not uninstall Vista as such.

    Vista cannot uninstall itself by Vista, formatting the drive that is installed on. In other words it cannot remove itself.

    You install another operating system, removal of Vista during the installation process of the other operating system...

    You don't say exactly what you are trying to do.

  • How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?

    How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?  I have already reinstalled Windows 7 from the CD, but that has not solved my problems.  When I put the factory CD in my CD player, it won't always boot from the CD.  When I put my Windows 7 Ultimate CD in the CD drive, it doesn't always start from the CD.         I realize that the reformatting is not always necessary, but I caught a few viruses (despite anti-virus running) and I need to start with a clean hard drive.

    You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
    first push.

    How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
    motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
    BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
    the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
    for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
    There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
    your system documentation or check with your provider.

  • During the stoppage of the partition, partition still on the hard drive Macbook

    Tonight I went to use Bootcamp to get 8.1 Windows on my MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013), El Capitan 10.11.3 running. I had about 120 GB on my hard drive before you start. My Macbook has made to pay all the time.

    I have my serial number for 8.1 I was going to install 8.1 then update to 10. I had the. ISO on my desk and I've been using a 16 GB flash drive. Everything was going well (it does not seem to take a bit to download the necessary files for the flash player) and when I got to the next step to partition my hard drive I chose 50 GB for Windows. He began partitioning and I had to got for a second and of course when I got home it was on the screen to type my password. I thought for a second, he finished, but then he said that he had to stop unexpectedly.

    I went to open bootcamp and it just took me the steps from beginning. Now my problem is that I have 50 GB of the partition and I don't know how to get it back. I rebooted my Macbook, CMD + R, go to disk utility and ran first aid on the hard drive. He was executed successfully, but my hard drive is still missing as 50 GB. I restarted and went to the utility disk on my office and made the same thing. This time around the first aid took a little longer to work so I thought I had it, but these 50 GB are still missing.

    Anyone know how I can return these 50 GB? I prefer not to format my hard drive and start over. I just want back the 50 GB. Also, if anyone has the answer as to why he closed Middle partition would be great as well so I can make sure I do it correctly this time.

    Thank you.

    Of OSX Treminal, please after the output of the following commands.

  • How to reinstall Windows XP without formatting my HARD drive?

    Hello
    Firstly, sorry if there are a lot of typos in my post but I did not often speak (write) English...
    I have a big problem and I would like to reinstall windows XP, but I don't want to format my HD.
    When I was with Win98, I had to insert the boot disk and the Windows 98 CD and I could just reinstall windows 98!
    With the Cd rescued provide my computer (Satellite A80) I can format my HD and install windows XP. Is there a solution to reinstall all windows Xp and keep the other file?

    Hello

    Well, I recommend to create a second partition on the HARD drive. There you can reinstall you new version of Windows XP.
    If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery CD, you must use the Expert mode to recover the operating system, because there you can choose the partition.

  • Satellite Pro A110 - in BIOS exclamation Point in front of the HARD drive

    Satellite A110 Pro PSAB1C-GM80XE

    Question is this. SATA CONTROLLER TOAST the laptop?

    Story.

    It seems as if the laptop hard drive has failed.
    Prior to the laptop, it would get BSOD.
    It would, however, go back to windows XP.

    After that, sometimes it wouldn't restart, he would try to boot from lan as if there is no hard drives.
    I check the bios.

    There is a! in front of the model of the drive. I can't change it, reset default does not change.
    No update of the bios was already made.
    Page drivers laptop says I have to install the update to the bios from windows xp... I can't do it of course.

    I bought a new hard drive for the laptop. WD Scorpio Blue (pretty standard) 160Gig

    The laptop recognize model to drive hard in the bios, but once again with the exclamation point in front of the name of the template.

    BIOS can see, but nothing else. No windows CD is able to watch the HD.

    Once again, it is the sata controller or can someone point me to an update of the bios I can do with a USB key.
    Should I just throw the laptop in the trash? I expect to give it a new life with a new hard drive and own bones.

    Hello

    What is the BSOD STOP Code?

    If 0x0000007B, it means that Windows cannot find a SATA driver for the SATA controller. To solve this BSOD, set the SATA Mode in the BIOS in "COMPATIBILITY" mode, or use a USB floppy with the SATA driver on this subject during the installation of Windows. Press F6 when you are prompted to install a 3rd party storage driver.

    Or otherwise, to use the original Toshiba Recovery disk to install Windows.

    I do not mean the exclamation point in the BIOS that the HARD drive is faulty, it means that the HARD drive has the highest priority boot on my laptop.

  • Satellite L300D - TEMPRO said that I have no space on the HARD drive

    Hello

    I'm new to the site... I got a L300D for three months and no problem but in the last two weeks, I had TEMPRO warns my readers have free space that disappears quickly.

    In fact at this moment I have a total of * 800Mbs * when in fact I more than * 90Gbs * and I even used a shedder file to clean up more space.
    Is there a way to get TEMPRO on track or is this a normal problem, unsolveable.

    Hey Buddy

    TEMPRO is a tool that scans the entire HARD drive
    I guess you have different partitions on the HARD drive and I guess Tempro tells you that the free space among available partitions_ _on breaks down

    Well, I'm not quite sure what partition is a sense but perhaps hidden partition Vista first, s (WinRE).
    You should know that Vista uses a hidden backup files partition, this partition can be used if something goes wrong with the operating system

    I think Tempro means that partition

  • How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

    My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

    Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

    Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

  • How to remove Lightroom edition to connect the hard drive

    I made a big mistake when you create the publication connection in my new Lightroom application. I didn't know it was a connection forever and I gave specific names to the collection that I wanted to publish on my hard drive. I found how I can change the Publishing Service and change EVERYTHING except the location of export files. I would change the subfolder. I read it says that the subfolder is not editable once the connection is created, but I thought that the connection has been updated every time that you started a new session of Lightroom).

    Is it possible to remove this connection edition?

    Hi car convertible,

    You need to right click on the hard drive under Control Panel Services to publish and choose 'Remove the Service to publish'
