• Apps to try to install on the wrong partition?

  Hello, I recently bought a month long subscription to Photoshop CC go with Illustrator, but I have a problem with the installation.  My C: / partition is almost completely full, so I install my programs on / d:.  I put both the installation location and the location of the folder to D:/Application.  When I try to install Photoshop, it happens to about ~ 45% it starts to extract, and then it said "Installation failed." When I click on "learn more," he said installation failed: not enough disk space.  Please free up space on C (sometimes it says C: / instead), and then try again. (- 30). »

  I had a very similar problem when installing Illustrator, where he would start at 0% then give me pretty much the same message.  Curiously, it fixed itself after some time for some reason any.  I tried to quit smoking and start creative cloud several times and that did not help.  In addition, another small issue; recently, when I open CC it says "Trial has expired" in Illustrator (I bought a year subscription), until I boot Illustrator and it pops up a window that says "check license" or something along those lines and then CC displays as bought.  I'm sure that the questions are not related however.

  Can someone help with this problem?  I saw a discussion for a few years there is a similar problem that doesn't seem to be resolved, so I'm a little worried that it will not be corrected.  I'm under 64-bit Windows 8.

  Thank you!

  Hi Catseyeguy,

  Refer to the code 30 exit and exit code 31 "low disk space" errors

• Accidentally installed OS in the wrong partition

  Hello

  I downloaded an upgrade to Windows 7 Microsft and accidentally installed on the Recovery (D :) instead of OS (C :). How can I remove Win. 7 on my recovery?

  I currently have access to these two victory. 7 and Vista (I use currently.)

  I have no disk with Windows 7, as it was a download.

  Hello

  An upgrade to Windows 7 had to be installed in the running, not as a dual boot Vista operating system. You are not allowed to run an upgrade as a dual boot.

  You say you use Windows 7.

  The D: Recovery has not enough GBs to install Windows 7.

  Recovery d: partition is normally between 5-20GBs maximum

  To find out what is happening with your Partiton D: Recovery, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  And you will need to re - download Windows 7 and save it / install it correctly

  Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

  1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

  F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

  You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

  2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

  Also ask them how to make records.

  Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

  There are backups on an external hard drive.

  To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

• HOW CAN I GET WINDOWS XP IS INSTALLED AFTER THE REMOVAL OF WINDOWS 7?

  When I bought my computer that he had installed Windows 7 and I got a trial of 60, because I couldn't afford to buy the software, I deleted windows 7 and am trying to install my purchased Windows XP, but it is blocked because the computer says I have a newer version of windows and so it will not let me install XP.  What can I do?

  Assuming that your computer supports XP (XP device drivers are available), then first delete the existing partition of Windows 7 (do not delete the partition recovery in case you want to revert to windows 7 at a later date). Then partition and format the hard disk during installation.

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

• Windows Vista is installed on my recovery partition need help for this relocation.

  I have an acer extensa 5620, the labtob supplied with Windows Vista already installed. I ended up having to have my computer repaired because it became somehow infected by viruses a friend who I thought was well knowledged in computers, cleaned the virus or so I thought, and replaces Windows Vista with Windows XP I was not asking or giving permission for that to happen. Now, I came to know that Windows XP is not genuine a software which makes sense because I kept getting virus despite the fact that I have several systems antivirus on my computer and to make things worse, I'm sure I have a browser hijack. I tried to find a way, he made the switch to return to Vista because I liked it, but another friend told me I should stored it on my recovery partition. I don't know that much about computers if anyone can help me to find it and tell me step by step to correctly and safely to reinstall Windows Vista because I'm also fairly certain that bad software is whats allowing these viruses. Help, please!

  http://support.Acer.com/

  Contact Acer for the EXACT way to do.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11, Acer Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the computer repair option

  See you soon.

• HP 15-AB521TX: reinstalling Windows recovery media will remove the created partitions?

  I have a HP 15-AB521TX and as usual with all laptops, it comes with C: drive.

  I used a third party partition manager to create more than 3 partitions by deleting the space on the C drive, so now I have C, D (recovery), E, F and G,

  But somehow now I want to reinstall windows (using the recovery backup media (flash drive)) and I wanted to know if it will remove all the extra partition I created and delivered to a single drive C? Since I have data on other players, I don't want to do.

  Thank you very much.

  bsguru

  Unfortunately, the answer is YES - as the first action of the recovery feature is to reformat the entire disk to match the partition arrangement which was put there at the factory.

  So, BEFORE you do this, you must migrate off the partitions and the data you want to keep or restore.

  Good luck
