  None in general, you can assign optical readers or card readers a different drive letter for drive letters may be consecutive.

  Specifically, if you're talking about reducing the existing operating system partition it is pretty reliable but could save all important files 1.

  The choice to create more partitions during setup of the system instead of when Windows is online I would choose the first when possible.

  I have 2 GB of ram & when I bought my Sony laptop, I got Best Buy Geek Squad partition my 150 GB C:\ drive to have a G:\ and H:\ drive partitions. I want to remove or delete partitions G:\ & H:\ and C:\ use all of the 150 GB less space reserved for shadow copies of backup.  Disk Mgr, I cannot extend the C:\.volume. After I develop C:\ I want to upgrade Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate, or install a full version of Windows 7 Ultimate, regardless of the method will work best... All my data is backed up & I have all my DVD software if I have to reinstall all my programs.  What is the simplest and most accurate procedure to implement these two changes? Aka VDS disk management won't allow C:\ to extend its volume in the free space of 50 GB. For some reason, backups of photos take almost all C:\ 100 GB with free space only 1.45 even after I have remove all except the most recent backup.  I am very frustrated and if I knew how, I would go in the BACK, rub everything and load Windows 7 Ultimate full version and start all over again, but I don't know enough to know if it will work.  I appreciate your instructions...

  Since you have backups of your user files and your programs can be installed again, the simplest method is the one that is most likely to lead to a stable system of Windows 7 for long distances. Boot from the Windows 7 DVD. Use the facilities on the DVD to remove all the present partitions. Next, install a new Windows 7 system hard disk. Once completed the installation stage, let the system updated with all the security and update other Microsoft offerings. Then, install your programs, and copy backup your user files.
  It is also possible to boot from the Windows 7 DVD and use its facilities to remove G and H. Then you can develop C to fill up the drive and install Windows 7 on C.
  There are tutorials on Details he to do that and other options on the web.

• which partition to install windows 7 on new system

  I just bought a new laptop without system. I got a copy of windows 7 Home premium 64-bit to put on.

  The hard drive is 1000 GB and is divided into 4
  Name: Total size: free space: Type
  Disk 0 partition 1 GB 29.3, 29.2 GB system
  Disk 0 partition 2 GB 29.3, 29.2 GB primary
  Disk 0 unallocated space go-go 871.8 871.8
  Partition of drive 0 3: LENOVO_PART 1.1 GB 457.0 MB OEM (reserved)
  I know not to touch the OEM, but the marked partition system used allows to install because it is formatted in FaT32 and said it requires NTFS. 2 other partitions are viable, but I don't know which one to use. My instinct would be to go to the primary partition scored because I think that space, it would be OK and keep the operating system from everything that will go on the laptop. But I don't know about you. What do you guys suggest?

  The System Partition "Disk 0 partition 1 is where you would put it.

  To be honest, I would just remove everything and do a fresh install and create more partitions after.

  Are you sure there is no operating system already located on the OEM (reserved) file, you can use to install Windows? Because what is the meaning of keep if you already use a different installation media?

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  (2) borrow a disc retail Windows of the same edition of a friend (the manufacturer NOT another recovery disc!) and use it for installation - you will then have to track down the appropriate/required drivers and install them. - and use the key from the COA of the sticker on the laptop to turn it on.

• Back to the recovery partition after installing Windows 10

  Trying without much success to help a friend with a Lenovo ideacentre B310.

  I tried a reset by using the F11 key which got through the whole process of restoration and reinstallation of probably Windows 10 but then frozen 100%.

  I have since installed successfully from a WIN Pro 10 CD, but it's understandable without a free license has been applied as it was a clean install.

  What I want to know, it's the recovery on the still Partition PC contains the original OS? If this how I start and recover to factory condition of the PC having in mind that the PC is currently the trial version of WIN 10 with a limited number of days of use before a product key must be purchased.

  Data loss is not a problem, I just need to go back to factory State and then move on from that.

  Problem all sorted. I didn't realize that you could install the applicable version of REMPORTER 10 of the tool of creation of media these days and use the product key from the COA of WIN 7.

  I'm assuming that I come back to a working version of WIN 7 before I could then upgrade to a licensed version of WIN 10.

• Now, formatted recovery partition cannot install Windows 8.

  Original title: installation.

  I mistakely to format all partitions, including the recovery on my hp laptop now im trying to install the new copy, but I can't help it please me do not know what to do

  Its best you contact HP recovery media that you can use to reinstall the pre-installed copy of Windows 8. He also recommended because of the following:

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

• If I install Windows 7 on a computer with Windows Vista, it erases the manufacturer partition that allows me to restore Windows Vista?

  I have windows vista basic on my laptop & also my laptop can reinstall vista (I think that it is on a separate partition) so for my question I want to install windows 7, if I have it will remove this partition that can re - install vista?

  original title: installation using Windows 7

  Hello

  It depends on your computer maunfacturer as to whether you will be able to always use the vista recovery partition after installing windows 7

  Hewlett Packard machine; No, you can not

  Read about this HP:

  Solve a common problem of recovery.
  If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.

  ________________________________________________________________

  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

  Hi Nnrmalata,

  1. you are trying to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7?

  2. What is the brand and model of your computer?

  Boot from GPT is only supported for 64-bit of Windows 7 on UEFI-based systems.

  For more details, refer to this link:

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/hardware/gg463525.aspx

  If your computer does not support UEFI, back up your important data to an external drive and delete all partitions on hard drives and create a new partition.

  (a) start from the Windows 7 DVD

  (b) click on install now

  (c) in the configuration screen, click Custom (Advanced)

  (d) click on drive Options

  (e) select the partitions to format

  (f) click on Format - this will erase EVERYTHING on this partition

  (g) create a new partition, and then select a partition to install Windows on.

  (h) follow the on-screen instructions and install Windows.

  Note: Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

  You can check the link for reference:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799232 (WS.10) .aspx

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  If above did not help, please refer to the steps in this link.

  Note: Backup your important data to an external drive

• resize boot camp partition, formatted and installed windows 7 - now cannot open in vmware fusion

  Here are the steps that I took...

  1 has started with the copy of Windows XP in the boot camp partition. "This is accessible from VMWare Fusion."

  2 resized (from 6 GB to 18 GB) and formatted the boot camp partition.

  3 successfully installed Windows 7 directly in the resized partition boot camp (not through VMWare Fusion).

  4. starts in OSX (latest version), open VMWare Fusion and attempted to access the partition to boot camp/vm. Received an error message charging me to disassemble and reassemble the physical disk changes. However, since I did it, he cannot find a bootable disc, therfore making it the useless bootcamp VM.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Paul

  Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.

  1. If the merger is open, close it.

  2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

  3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

  Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

• Install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with UEFI mode

  Hello world! So I'm here to talk about the installation of Windows 7 for the UEFI mode and I know a lot of people said it stucks on "Starting Windows" during installation, but I have a few question that my opinion:

  1. If a hard disk has come to Windows 8/8.1 with OEM or retail as installed, it should disable Secure Boot?

  2. If Windows 7 it remains stuck, the solution most is all in a hard drive format after Windows 8/8.1 backup partition and install Windows 7 with UEFI without getting stuck? I need to install it with TPG...

  Hope will understand. ;-)

  Secure boot is integrated in the firmware, not the installation hard disk.

  You can just boot from the installation media and format the hard drive.
