UNABLE to get the drive letter of the disk 0 Partition 1

Hello world.

Well, yesterday I tried to install Ubuntu netbook edition 10.10. Well, in the middle of something was wrong and it corrupted the Windows partition. Linux is installed, but Windows is damaged.
I'm on a Gateway laptop, and I have a recovery disk. The thing is when I try to boot from the disc, it says Windows is loading files... and then it opens with an error message saying fail to get the drive letter of the Partition 1 of disk 0. When I turn on the computer, I present a selection of software Ubuntu and Windows Vista loader option. If I choose that, it would open a window of system repair and th other options. I passed by them and tried to recover my pc from the recovery disc. However, none of them worked. I chose the option to Scan drive for errors, and you are prompted to restart my pc. I did, but now, if I select the Windows Vista loader it comes with a long error message.
In the Linux file browser, C:\ is now called PQSERVICE, but he's not normal Windows OS files.
The thing I would ask is; How I completely erase my hard drive, reset the partitions and reinstall windows from my recovery disc? I have no special programs or documents that I need to backup, I all recorded them on a portable hard drive. Also, I can reinstall Linux (rightly) with no dramas.
PS. I have a drive to upgrade Vista to Windows 7. I have not yet tried, but if I inserted that and tried to boot my computer from that, would that work?
Thanks for your time.

Hello

1. can you give us the long error message?

The recovery disc can be used to restore the computer to factory settings and I suggest you best computer manufacturer contact to get help for the same.

Also, we cannot use a Windows 7 upgrade disk to perform a clean installation.

Method 1: I suggest to check the following link and check if it helps:

Method 2: Try the following steps to upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 from the link below:

    I'm unable to get the registration code for my Blu - Ray player. I followed the instructions and all I get is the statement: device is registered. I can't register for the most part without a valid code. Please let me know how I can get the correct code. Thank you

    If you were able to enter the registration code the first time you tried to save the player before then you don't need to do it again. Just bought this drive? If so, was it a screen or mixed open-box model?

  • Unable to get the Bluetooth Toshiba BT Stac Headset profile in collaboration with mic

    Hello.

    I have problems with my Motorola HT 820 Stereo headset, the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack installed on Vista Home Premium 32 bit laptop.

    I am unable to get the microphone to work at all, so can't use it for Skype / VOIP calls etc. Features such as the A2DP and AVRCP work very well, and I can listen to music via the media player without problems.

    I read in a FAQ on this site, to make sure that I use the installation option custom rather than the quick installation when adding the device, but it seems to make no difference, am I missing a step here?

    In the properties of the device Windows registry, I see the option listed for Bluetooth Mic, but even assigning as device by default does not work.

    I know to plug my headphones on my desktop PC that uses the bluetooth stack Widdcom, can I use the headset/microphone function, but this battery seems to work differently, as I can select option headphones in the bluetooth settings, but I don't see such an interior option Toshiba stack - and I think that's the problem.

    I've updated to the last stack of Toshiba on this website, but this did not help at all.

    Here, any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Matt

    Unfortunately I can't help you with that, but if I remember right here on the BT section that someone has already asked something similar. Please take a little time and see the BT section on this forum.

    You can also visit the FAQ section on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/

    If the product you have Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' does not allow to move from XP/Vista to Windows 7. You can buy the product at retail of Windows 7 Upgrade not the ' Anytime Upgrade '.

  • Error: Unable to get the 'platform' of undefined reference property or null

    I am updating a Web site on a computer that had Dreamweaver Cs4 installed as a transfer file from another computer. I get an error (unable to get the 'platform' of undefined reference property or null). The current computer has Windows7. How to upgrade to the operation of the platform within the program? What is the problem?

    What are you trying to do exactly?

    Files created in DW are not specific platform (they are just .html, .css, .js, etc.), but the program itself is when it's one of the older versions of perpetual license / disc.

    Adobe does not swap the platform for something else that current versions, however the current version (PCOC 2014) is not really specific platform more since you can have it installed on two machines, regardless of the platform. So, basically, ranking/cross-platform interchange is not permitted more.

  • Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store

    Hello

    Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.

    I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)

    I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN

    The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB

    Concerning

    Marius Aulie

    If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:

    -set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device

    -Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command

    -detach the LUN to the virtual machine

    -try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store

    The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.
