Vista installed on D: (how can I remove d and install on C:?)

I have recently, sort of badly managed to install a copy of 'clean' Vista on the wrong drive.  Disk D:\.  With the help of the good people at MS, I have intall the 'clean' copy on the good dirve C:\.

However, now that I fixed the problem drive, it leaves me with Vista OS on drive D:\ again.

Can someone tell me how to remove the ill-posed OS off D:\?

Thank you very much.

  • Is the corrupted Windows 10 download, and if so how can I remove this and re-download the file?

    Original title: upgrade Windows 10

    I have a Dell Studio 1749 under Windows 7 Home Premium.   I postponed the upgrade of Windows 10 to the present day.  The update file appears in the control panel Windows Update Panel, but when I click start it restarts Windows 7 simply and tells me that the new updates have been installed but it was Windows 7 updates since yesterday.

    Is the corrupted Windows 10 download, and if so how can I remove this and re-download the file?    Or maybe another solution?

    Thank you.

    Review:

    Retry the upgrade manually:

    Option 1:

    Download the media creation tool

    Click with the right button on the MediaCreationTool.exe file and then click on run as administrator.

    Note: How to check if you are downloaded or installed the update Windows 10 November

    How to create an ISO or USB drive.

    Select upgrade this PC now and then click Next

    Option 2:

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
  • How can I remove SP3 and reinstall Service Pack 2?

    How can I remove SP3 and reinstall Service Pack 2?  I have a software that runs only with Service Pack 2.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Note - your product support Windows XP * purposes * when you remove Service Pack 3.  You will be unable to obtain a new security - that will be available and published every month (probably) to those with Service Pack 3 until April 2014.

  • I managed to successfully install a copy of 'clean' of Vista on D:\. How can I remove the operating system incorrectly installed D:\?

    Thank you Mick: This information has been useful and I'm glad I read through it to better understand how to work the partiions.  Having said that, however, I need not expand c:\ and/or remove d:\.  I just need to remove a version of Vista installed drive d:\ I placed on it in error.  At the time, I didn't know I don't follow the prompts closely enough and managed to put a second copy of Vista OS 32-bit Home Basic edition on the wrong drive.

    Since then, I have installed correctly copy 'clean' Vista on c:\ and things are now going smoothly.

    Now, I just need to understand how to properly uninstall Vista from the wrong drive d:\.

    Can anyone help with this?  Thank you very much.

  • How can I remove Linux and install Windows XP?

    XP installation

    How can I install xp on my laptop with xp disc? I gave her family having installed Melissa on it and came back and need xp back on it. I have the key for xp of origin. I prefer not to pay for it again. Thank you.

    It is possible that the recovery partition "can" still be fuctional if Linux has not deleted it. Check the manual of the owner on how to start and start (press key during the initial boot process) the process of recovery. If this does not work then contact the manufacturing of the laptop and see if they can still provide you with recovery media.

  • How can I remove Skins and visualizations in WMP 12?

    I'm having a small problem with WMP 12. I downloaded a few visualizations and skins today and installed then in WMP 12. They worked, but I want to uninstall the skins and some of the visualizations. However, I can't remove the visualizations options because the button is grayed out delete (I'm an admin, I even tried to run WMP in admin and the button was not yet available) and I can't find the visualization files in the folder Program Files from WMP to remove what someone suggested in a forum. In addition, I can't remove the skin because I don't know how. Can someone help me?

    Hello

    Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the following link to remove the skins.

    Method 2: Try the following steps to remove the visualizations.

    (a) press Windows Key + Q on the keyboard.
    (b) type Windows Media Player and click enter.
    (c) Windows Media Player is currently open in the Player library.
    (d) in the bottom right corner the Player Now Playing button click.
    (e) right click on a space open in the drive and point the mouse on visualizations, and then click No visualization.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have other problems with Windows in the future.

  • How can I remove linux and reinstall windows 8.1?

    Hello. I recently installed a distribution linux (OS elementary, Luna) on my HP Pavilion g6. My pc is preinstalled with Windows 8. I decided to evaluate linux and installed on my computer. I was not paying attention when installing and apparently replaced Windows 8. My question is, how do I get it back? I am a person without any repair records and don't have anyway make one (since I am just a computer nerd aged 15 years). I heard that HP computers have a bios recovery console, but if that's true how to reach it?

    Info by the PC.

    Model: Pavilion g6

    Storage: 683.5 GB

    RAM: 5.3 GB

    Processor: AMD A8 - 4500 M APU with graphics HD Radeon (TM) x 4

    Graphics card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Devicd 9903

    Boot from the recovery of Windows 8 media, if you

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    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.

    For this reason, you will not be able to use the Windows 8 disc retail to activate the license incorporated, it does not recognize. That's why you need HP recovery media, otherwise you will end up having to buy a new license.
