• Can someone tell me what I should type in the screen command prompt to access the setupapi log so I can delete the files that stops me reinstall windows xp?

  My dell PC crashed then I followed the news online & tried to reinstall windows XP from my original CD. However, the keyboard & mouse stop working when the installation gets to the 33 minute section which requires me to a box on the screen. I saw tips online who says lets you check the setupapi log & delete the file question (s) that prevents the installation but it required that use you SHIFT & F10 to enter the command prompt screen, but my keyboard is isolated at this time.

• HP Stream 13: Can I delete the extra partition in Windows 10 which is not marked "allocated".

  I have improved my Stream 13-10 Windows.  It was very difficult to do and I ended up doing a clean installation (and pay for the cursed BONES) because I couldn't seem to do the upgrade work.

  Now, I seem to have even less disk space I did when she used Win 8.  I have almost no programs installed, I keep all my files on a SD card, I ran disk cleanup, and I moved the "previous operating system" files on SD card.  But I still only 1.2 gig left available.

  I read that win 8, there is a recovery partition that was needed to keep it in place.  But when I look at the partitions in disk management it says that there is a 7 Gig "unallocated" partition and a 250 MB EFI partition. In addition to the primary partition.

  Is - this 7 concerts really unallocated as unused? Is it always a true recovery partition or is it just an artifact to win the 8 that is no longer used?  Can I combine the C partition and the 7 Gig partition unallocated, so I can actually reinstall MS Office?

  Hi, Yes, looks like that when you have done the clean install of Windows 10, you did not wipe the entire hard drive clean first.  The 7 GB partition you see is probably the Windows 8.1 recovery partition remains.  You can delete it now that you run Windows 10, but you cannot extend the C: drive to include the recovered.

  You can repeat the clean install new wiping clean the whole disc first. There are instructions here.  I had 19 GB available on my C: drive after a new installation of Windows 10 on my 11 flow.

• Could not open the backup file Money99 after reinstalling Windows 8

  My Sony VAIO came with Windows 8, and I used Money99 on it without problem.  When I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and later Windows 10, I was able to restore the backup file I had saved on a USB key, and I continued using the program.  Today, I re-set my VAIO to factory settings because after 6 months with 10 Windows, I couldn't tolerate frequent them freezes and purple/blue screens of death.  I have re-installed Money99 through CD and it seems to work fine.  However, whenever I try to restore my backup file, it tells me it either cannot find the file or it is a read-only file.  I confirmed the file is located on the USB and it has not defined on read-only, hidden or archive.  He said: I have, the system and the administrator can all open it.  When I did a search on this subject, I couldn't find answers especially to Money99.  Others had the same problem with the more recent of the money, and some versions proposed to copy the backup file to the hard drive before you restore it.  I tried, but I get the same message.  I don't think that the USB is corrupted or damaged, especially after reading that others have had this same problem.  Does anyone have the solution? It would be much appreciated!

• Meeting place for Dell 8 Pro 5855 - delete the recovery partition?

  I just bought a place 8 Pro 5855. I did a recovery USB disk. I was wondering if there is a way to remove the recovery partition so that I can retrieve this internal storage space. I could try something like EaseUS or MiniTool, but I was wondering if there was another way that I wasn't aware of. Is there a reason why I should not delete the recovery partition? Thank you!

  This is how I did it:

  1. run Diskpart (from Run or CMD prompt), don't worry he'll ask the elevation to Admin

  2. type: select disk 0 (main SSD)

  3. type: list of partition (to see the available partitions)

  4. type: select the partition 6 (my recovery partition, yours may be different)

  5. type: delete partition replacement (deletes the partition 6)

  6. type: select partition 5 (my Windows, to the area to recover partition deleted)

  7. type: extend (retrieves the space)

  8. type: exit

  It worked for me on the DV8P 5830.

• Bootmgr missing after you delete the XP partition in a dualboot Vista & XP

  I install XP & Vista on another partition to have a dual boot. I decided to delete the XP partition after having problems on the virus in the XP partition. I delete the XP partition using the Vista CD, I delete the partition, but when I did the restar problems: a message on the "Bootmgr is missing, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE.

  If you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a record of startup repair.

  If you follow the instructions to bleepingcomputer link below:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

• After removing the Dual Boot, I can't delete the old partition

  Some time ago I installed an SSD and I have Windows 7 installed in Dual Boot with the Windows 7 system.
  So, I had two versions of Windows 7, which worked well.

  Now I no longer use the old system, I disabled the function of Dual Boot. I want to format the old drive, but it does not work because Windows still sees it as active system partition. In addition, I can't delete the partition.

  How can I format or delete the old partition?

  

  I already tried Msconfig, Bud that did not help. Default Msconfig begins with 'selective startup' and an operating system that is displayed in the Startup tab. When I select 'Normal Startup' there are two operating systems that are listed in the Startup tab. When I delete the old and reboot, it is back again...

  Who has the solution?

  (1) create a system repair disc (if you do not have an installation disk for Windows 7 for the version of Windows you have installed).
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-system-repair-disc

  (2) then remove the hard disk you want to format. Now try to start the remaining version of Windows. You should see a missing bootmgr message. Proceed to step #3.

  (3) Bootmgr is missing, message or black screen with cursor flashing
  (See method #2 in this Wiki article)

  (4) after you have created the BCD store on the remaining drive (to step #3 above), it should start up on Windows and also be the partition 'Active'.

  (5) shut down the PC and set the old drive, turn on a load Windows and then delete all the remaining partitions on the old disk.

• Delete the old partition of Vista HDDRecovery after migration to W7

  Since I installed Windows 7 and I have created a new recovery disk.

  Hello

  I know, installing windows with the recovery disk retrieves folder HDDRecovery :) So, you can.

• Format HARD drive, delete the recovery partition and recover with disc

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite C660D-17F and want to format my HDD, remove the recovery partition and recover the preinstalled Windows 7 and other software. I don't want to keep my own data, which are all stored already, I just want to be sure I can safely restore preinstalled stuff. I have a few questions that I need help to clear up before I go ahead.

  Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition? If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?

  I found [this post | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/items/faq/71] which explains the recovery process. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that? It will restore the OS and the software for the backup of dvd drive? Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?

  Added SIDENOTE:
  I actually prefer to be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I'm after. Or is there a way?

  Sorry, I know that was a long post, but I want to be sure of what will happen BEFORE I'll and spoil things! :) If you got this far, thanks for reading. :)

  Hello

  I will try to offer help. ;)
  > Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition?
  Yes. Saved on recovery discs recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software.
  > If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
  Preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator make recovery disc that includes the recovery image only. It has nothing to do with your personal data.
  > I found this post that explains the process of recovery. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that?
  After that, you should use recovery disks created for the recovery image installation.
  > Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
  When you use the recovery disc for your laptop recovery image installation will have factory settings which include the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. To be honest I do not understand why you do not want to have this recovery image on the HARD drive. This allows the installation of recovery using recovery of HARD drive option. But of course you can delete it later for more free space on your HARD drive. Installation image that you can always use created for recovery discs-recovery DVDs.
  > I'd really rather be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I don't want after

• Satellite P855 and Win8 - would like to delete the recovery partition

  In fact, I would like to remove the recovery on my new P855 Satellite partition using diskpart. Now I have some problems/uncertainty (of course I have already created the recovery DVDs):

  1: when I look in Disk Management on my Windows 8, there are 2 recovery partitions! a small beginning of the disc (450 MB), a bigger at the end of the disc (8,66 GB). I'm a little confused about this. There is not usually a single recovery partition? Are - this two recovery partitions from toshiba for windows 8?

  2: I read somewhere that it can occure problems with the system by deleting the recovery partition. is there a risk if I delete the above two recovery partitions? (not to mention that I don't have the recovery of files on the hard drive more) May - so that it affects the stability or the ability of the system?

  As I don't want to take the risk, I crash my system, I hope that someone knows about it!

  Thank you guys

  see you soon
  kDar

  And why you want to delete the recovery partition?
  Its best to leave it as it is in case, you want to retrieve the computer laptop back to factory settings.

  I guess that one was created by Win 8. It contains the files to fix the system in case something would be a mistake of the last partition seems to be Toshiba that contains the recovery image files.

  Deletion of partition of Toshiba should not (usually) affects the ability of the system to the laptop, but nevertheless, you must create a recovery disk before you remove anything on the HARD drive.
  The recovery disc will return to the factory settings in case, that the system could be confused to the top.

• Equium L350 - 11 d - how do I delete the second partition on the HARD drive

  How can I delete the second partition that came with the laptop, so I can use the full capacity of computers HARD drive?

  I feel that this partition is their because I have not created a DVD of recovery he would remove the partition once I created the recovery DVDs.

  The score contains a folder of HARD disk RECOVERY and in the folder says do not delete or change this folder or files.

  I have a Toshiba Equium L350 - 11 d

  As you have already said that the second partition contains the HDD Recovery folder if you would remove this partition you will not be able to create the recovery DVD and would not be able to recover the laptop HARD drive.

  Therefore, you must create the DVD before recovery would remove anything from the second partition on the HARD drive.

  After you create the DVD recovery successfully, you could remove the partition and could add the free space on the HARD disk on the first partition.
  This can be done on disk management!

• Satellite L745: I deleted the recovery partition. What can I do now?

  I bought a new laptop l745 and I found two hidden partition, I think that the recovery partition is only one. so I deleted the other
  After that, I tried doing a recovery on DVD but I got a message "no recovery on the HARD drive" or something like that

  How can I restore my recovery partition?
  :)

  You cannot restore the recovery partition. It can be restored if you use the DVD of initial recovery for the installation of the OS. In this case, everything will be like before.

  You created the recovery DVDs until you have deleted the recovery partition?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  As long as you create your recovery media set - see link below-, so it should be no problem deleting the partition (moving it usually breaks its functionality).  If you need to use the recovery media to perform a 'factory Reset', this process will reinstall the OS and recreate all of the original scores, including recovery D.

  Create recovery media - Windows 8.

  About the removal of the recovery partition, you can often do this through the application Recovery Manager as shown in the HP document on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810279

  If this option is not available, you can simply delete the recovery Partition using Windows Disk Manager and extend c in the unallocated space.

  Kind regards
