Want to dump XP Pro and do a clean install of 7

How can I make the equivalent of a clean install of Windows 7?  I want to dump XP Pro, install a clean 7 using 64-bit and then reinstall all my software.  On a PC, I just reformat the drive after re make the partitions, but with Fusion 3, I have no idea how to do. My docs are in a shared folder for XP and Mac.  I want to ONLY empty Windows files, not the other stuff.  Help PLZ.  And how do we decide what size to make the virtual machine workspace? In my view, that it is currently 100 GB.  Runing Mac Snow.

Help PLZ.

Just walk through the new VM Wizard by selecting the version of Windows using your and if you use upgrade media, and then use the information contained in "[clean install Windows 7 with upgrade Media | ]. "[http://www.winsupersite.com/Win7/clean_install_upgrade_media.asp]" to the install/activate.

You can delete the virtual Windows XP Machine after you have saved your user data and you have Windows 7 upwards and running unless you don't have enough space to have both.  CTR-click simply the target virtual machine on the Machine's virtual library and select Delete.

    Hey old77mountainman

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disc

    they do it for a nominal cost

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall vista back to factory standards

    you normally start the recovery at startup process by pressing F10 or F11 etc.

    Ask them of the correct key sequence

  • Try to format and do a clean install of Windows Vista on an old my computer HARD drive at home to be placed in a new Tower. The installation does not start.

    Try to format and do a clean install of Vitsa on an old my computer HARD drive at home to be placed in a new Tower. DVD starts up fine and then goes into an endless loop of the repair system that continues to check the c: / drive to find errors. Why is the installation does not start? I know that the folder c: / drive has Vista OS on it from my old compuetr. I want to wipe off immediately and start cleaning up.

    original title: try to install clean vista

    You must set your BIOS to start on the DVD from the beginning to the top.

    You have a good DVD of Vista (OEM/upgrade or full version) and NOT only a recovery disk provided by the manufacturer of the PC (or you burn you).

    For a DVD upgrade, follow the method here and make sure you format your HARD drive thanks to the tools of "advanced install" on the DVD.

    If you have a full version of Vista rather than a version upgrade then just do the first part of the above procedure.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    Yes, you can reinstall clean 32 bit vista

    you need to get the sony vista recovery disc

    or use your recovery partition

    It depends on how you install 64-bit whether if the recovery partition is left untouched or not

    You can also reinstall the 32-bit version of this way

    borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow correct 32-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    ask also sony how to make this recovery partition recovery disks now before you go ahead and install the 64-bit vista

    then you have reinstall disks for 32-bit vista

  • MXI-4, Manager of configuration problems and data base, clean install MAX

    Hello

    I have a problem with the MXI-4 kit / PCI-8331

    -C' is a clean install of MAX, using the default installation option.

    -Win XP 32. The PCI-8331 is the only PCI site in PC

    With the GUI of MAX does not, plug-and-play detects the jury.

    If I reboot, connect 8336 PXI and an another Council PXI (6641) in PXI basket, it's OK by PnP display.

    But as soon as I open MAX and expand the tree view of the devices, the Configuration Manager stops.

    I ge the message 'to NOR-PAL service Manager has encounterd a problem and needs to close' and 'MAX expired in the meantime a driver. "

    -J' have removed everything, reinstalled MAX, but the problem remains the same.

    -J' deleted configuration in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\MAX\Data Dictionaries\Last

    -I see a number of DLLs being re-written there, when I restart MAX, however there is no file config3.max (retrieved the entire disk) as suggested elsewhere.

    -It seems that if I only have the PCI card installed, I still have the same problem.

    I'd like to find if there is a problem with the hardware of the Board of Directors, the BIOS or the installation of MAX?

    Thank you

    Partially solved.

    The PCI-8331 seems to work in another PC, equipped with a newer BIOS.

    Could not test with MXI-8336 a hanging basket, as it is in a different location.

    Uptdating the BIOS of the computer 'defective' did not help, it seems like a new computer/motherboard is necessary.

    Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/disk_management.htm

    In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.
