When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

First run Memtest86 +:
It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

    Only time that happens, in my limited, knowledge is... If you use a 'illegal' name, such as ":" symbol. There are symbols, that you cannot use as part of a name. When this happens, you should get a warning indicating that the name is not allowed, something to that effect. Then he returns itself back to the new folder.
    Suggest you try again with conventional names. See if it works or not.

    You can try to download all the files from the CD to the hard drive and install there.

    If this does not help, try to install mode without failure. To access Safe Mode:
    (a) restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
    (b) select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.
    You will want to choose "Safe Mode with networking" If you need to connect to the internet or your network.
    (c) when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • How to FORMAT my hard drive with a RECOVERY PARTITION and my system restore from. BKF files

    History made as short as possible.

    I inherited a gateway with XP Media Center 2004. I transferred all my old files to the new computer, and it worked fine. I did a full backup of the system (.) BKF). Later, I installed a disc for my Vivitar camera I used before with my old system and my computer crashed.

    I tried everything I know to do a restore. F8, F10 and F11 during start-up and the best I could come up with was the safe MODE, but it would fail to any ENTRY.

    I really feel like the hard disk must be formatted and start over. I can not access the recovery partition and no XP CD was provided.

    My question is: How can I reformat the hard drive with a petition of recovery and reinstall my operating system of BKF files?

    If you have a recovery partition, I suggest you post in the forums of the bridge
    assistance.
     
    Another option is the following:

  • When my pointer is placed on ANYTHING it automatically opens the programs or selects things without any rattling, etc. (using Synaptics laptop built in mouse pad)

    I had trouble where my pointer open EVERYTHING when even just hovering, etc.  I tried all the troubleshooting and other settings, I find to try and am no - where.  Anyone out there have any help?  It, sometimes depending on what I'm trying to do, makes it nearly impossible to use this machine.

    Hello

    If a mouse (or if you use a touch screen and a mouse)

    Start - computer, or Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - general tab - check the
    Double-click to open an item - APPLY / OK

    Control Panel - mouse - look for hover or click Automatic similar settings according to your mouse.

    When a TouchPad

    Look in the Notification area next to the clock for all TouchPad control program.

    Control Panel - mouse - also look for it TouchPad (mine is on the device however settings tab
    other brands and maybe on the other tabs and more than one). There are usually the parameters that
    can determine if a click, double click, hover or can open or close a program.

    Start - computer, or Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - general tab - check the
    Double-click to open an item - APPLY / OK

    If some people are well positioned can change to some other setting if you plan to leave
    them that way and then change again.

    Hope that this help Rob - bicycle - Mark Twain said it is good.

  • When I scan new messages and delete without reading, you Bird jumps often 2-3 messages. Why? They are not prémarquées as spam.

    I scan the messages of the Inbox by subject and remove those I don't want to read. In doing so, you Bird often removes the next 2 or 3 messages. It's a real nuisance. Is it possible to put in place so that I don't delete that I choose?

    Thank you

    Mine has only deleted what is highlighted.

    How to remove? I use the DELETE key on my keyboard.

  • loss of partition when adding a new partition on the hard drive

    Under XP SP3, I have connected a HDD backup (1, 5 to) where there was a single logical partition, split into two units of 500 GB each.

    They were regularly mounted and functional, with their assigned letter (E and F). I decided to add and create a last 500 GB partition.

    For example, in disk management, I right click the empty space and following the wizard I accepted the default values (64 k just set as block size) and quick format. Put the label and agreed to assign the letter G.

    I came very soon with a primary partition (outside of the logical, green box) with the letter G. HOWEVER, the second partition disappeared, it became a green filled rectangle saying that it is a free space to allocate.

    So I find myself with E and G. I have connected the drive to another pc and still the same.

    Is there a solution to this (u imagine how I feel...) or everyone has experienced something like this? How to recover data now? I think and hope that it is a corruption of the pt, but how can it happen?

    Sorry to be long, I'm very confused with xp and his unexpected behavior.

    Thank you for reading and possibly tips, Bravo ricardo

    TestDisk may be able to recover the logical drive in the extended partition.

  • How to use the recovery on a HP p6230f PC CD when the hard disk is configured with partitions

    Hello

    I intend to use a recovery CD to get my HP p6230f PC.

    I do not have this type of recovery before, so I want to just a few tips how to start.

    Is it fair to boot from the CD and go through the process? what the current operating system, I installed on my PC Win 7 pro I got it free from the College last year and installed instead of Home premium.

    is it need to format the c before that player?

    any help will be appreciated

    Hello

    I know what you mean

    As you say, with a retail installation disc, you can choose exactly where you want to install the OS and leave the other partitions affected, unfortunately with recovery disks you do not have this option.

    Kind regards

  • I just updated my first at 2015.3. Now, it will not open one of my projects. It is said that they must be converted to the new version and then it does nothing passed. I need help.

    I just updated my Adobe Premiere 2015.3. He says now that all my projects were made in an earlier version. When I hit ok to update to convert to the new version. I have hot ok. Then just a project convert box and not going anywhere after that. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is the cause.

    I'm on a Mac 10.9.5.

    Any help would be received with gratitude that I am now on the ground at the judgment and may not work.

    CC 2015.3 is not an update until 2015 for CC (as it seems). It's actually a separate installation. So you can have it installed next to the CC 2014 and 2015 CC versions of Premiere Pro, if you wish.

    Default cloud creative app to remove older versions when you install new ones as shown here. (Which is a really stupid idea, in my opinion, but nobody asked me).

    If nothing else, you can reinstall any old version that you like. Your subscription to the CC includes all versions of Premiere Pro including CS6, CC, CC 2014, 2015 CC and CC 2015.3. Details to install older versions are here.
