Trying to format Vista since the repair screen (command prompt)

I'm trying to find an ad that says how to format the hard drive of the repair screen during installation. He explained how to format the drive by going to the command prompt while trying to repair the installation. I can access the command prompt, but can't remember the commands I need to reformat the hard drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You do a Vista repair install of in a Vista operating system running. Unlike the way he did in XP.

  • Re: Satellite Pro C660 - how to do the recovery with command prompt disc?

    I have a brand new Pro C660 of Satellite. It worked fine for a day, now it will not load windows. I don't have to create the recovery disks, as I only had a few hours (Yes, Yes, I know, should have been the first thing I did). All data are present (but backed up just in case USB) and I can see the folder HDDREcovery with all data intact. However, I can't run the application to create recovery discs. Does anyone know how to extract the images and create the media using only the command line? (I can go into command prompt by booting from the Windows 7 disc a friend). All options fail own laptop startup disks. It says 'Windows does not load' and I try startup repair, but it detects no error. Any help/thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated!

    Hey,.

    It of not possible to create the drive with command prompt recovery. You must use the Windows Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.

  • Start icon disappears from the taskbar. Command prompt concludes that he cannot fix corrupted files.

    My power icon disappeared from my taskbar after a reboot. Following the advice of the Forum I turned on command prompt and asked the sfc/scannow.

    After a long search, I received notification that there were a few corrupted files and not all could be fixed. This had occurred previously in 2012.

    After a security alert, security, I downloaded the program named Emet. After reading more below in the Microsoft forum, I found the comments which Emet

    may damage files. I decided to uninstall Emet. When I finished that I discovered that the Emet icon has disappeared from the taskbar along

    with the battery icons and a few other icons. I took my Asus laptop at Best Buy and the tech there called a Microsoft service don't. and

    has got instructions to restore the missing icons using the appropriate record. It was in summer 2012. When I stopped my laptop Sunday, December 21, 13

    Hi Ronald,.

    When you first start a new computer, the operating system typically runs Startup service initializations that can take anywhere from one to six hours to finish, depending on which applications are preloaded on the computer. Make sure that you give the operating system sufficient time to finish these Startup service initializations until you stop or restart the computer. This problem generally not happen once the operating system has completed initialization of all before background services is restarted.

    I suggest you refer to the following article which has a few registry tweaks to solve the problem. Please follow the steps and check out them.

    System icons do not appear in the notification area in Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must restart the computer

    Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • I am trying to delete or disable the Windows screen magnifier "magnifying glass" from my PC.

    TrustedInstaller keeps blocking my attempts to remove the magnifying glass. I tried to access trusted install without success. How can I accomplish this?

    When I run games iWin game Manager works fine. However, when I opened a magnifying glass game is started and grafics are to big for the screen.

    It is not intended to make it possible to uninstall Magnifier, just turn it off. There may be solutions hacks to workaround to do it, but I won't recommend it.

    To exit the Magnifier program, press:

    Of the Windows Logo key + Esc (at the same time).

    There is a keyboard shortcut that can be from magnifying glass if inadvertently, you press it:

    Of the Windows Logo key + + (at the same time).

    There may be other ways to start it's specific to your particular computer - for example some gestures on a mouse pad or a combination of button/wheel on your mouse. Try to think of what you were doing when the magnifying glass then appears to help track down.
