I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true? What is the best way to remove the linux operating system and install windows xp?
original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM
If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:
1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.
2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.
3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

Hard drives don't need to be 'cleaned' to be reused. All you have to do is remove the files them is more sought after.
There are procedures that you can use if you are concerned about a person to recover deleted information (for example, if you sell or give a hard drive - usually as part of a computer), but otherwise, you do not need to do anything special.
No, you cannot format a disk not partially. But you can create "partitions" on a single hard drive and format each partition separately. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000 -
Basic disk storage supports disks with partition. A basic disk is a physical disk that contains primary partitions, extended partitions, or logical drives. Partitions and logical drives on basic disks are also called basic volumes. You can create up to four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and an extended partition with logical drives.
No, you can't format the C: drive and maintain the operating system (assuming C: location of the operating system).
If you do not use 'Quick format' (which omits the analysis of bad sectors), a 3 TB drive will probably take a night or more to fit. You must make at least a full format on a drive not used to check for bad sectors; After that, you can use the quick format. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/302686 however, almost any hard drive you buy these days will come already formatted. The only reason for re - format would be to change the file system (for example, from FAT32 to NTFS).

Performance issues, too full hard drive, lack of system resources, too old
are obsolete applications, old parts of system of earlier versions (or is no longer valid)

If the hard drive is too full of content, you will need to choose what to keep and what to

maybe learn to make, test and use full Clones of the OS X system.

Question seeks to clean install 10 Windows on the drive of the merger. El Capitan.
Problem: try a clean install of Windows 10 via the Boot Camp Assistant on an iMac 27 inches (Late2013) with 10.11.4 installs hours (more than 8 hours) and then failed to install Boot Camp updates. Essentially installation take much long than normal and cannot install updates of the Apple software or create normally start Windows Boot Camp 10.
Background: After problems of slowing down after upgrading to 10.11.4 (with improved Bootcamp Windows 10) who had previously worked fine for 10 months, to the point of a start of OS X time, I decided to do a clean install of my iMac with Fusion 3 to disk.
As I was unable to remove the partition from Boot Camp through BCA because of his holding always at the same load, I used Internet recovery and reset the Fusion drive. This then required me to repair the partition of Fusion by car through THE "fix" option which seems to work very well. And reinstalled OS X 10.11.4 which works fine now (delays etc..)
Try using BCA to create a new partition Boot Camp and a clean Windows 10 install after downloading an image of disk W10 directly from Microsoft (Win10_1511_1_English_x64), BCA by downloading software updates and by selecting the desired partition, it began to restart and initialize the installation. However the whole process has been very slow, each step takes much longer than usual, to progress. Leave for hours rest a blank screen or with a circle of rotation.
I tried with another stick USB 3 and also a USB 2 stick, but none has made a difference.
In the last attempt, I left running overnight and after 8-9 hours, he finally reaches the top of desktop Windows 10 and the update of Apple Bootcamp starts to load updates. However, he just hung and even after 2 hours, nothing was. Reboot and try once again has been the same.
After that I tried to create a Windows Installer via BCA 8.0 however it gives just a TPG error when you try to select the drive (due to el Capitan I guess?)
After four days of efforts, I'm a loser on how to get the Windows 10 on the Boot Camp partition. I can't even install W8 and upgrade due to the error of TPG.
Any help or suggestions how to proceed with the diagnostic / resolution of the problem would be appreciated.
Details:
System: iMac (27 inch, end of 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 M 4096 MB, OS X 10.11.4
- Nothing other than the keyboard and mouse attached via the USB ports, as well as the key USB of BCA. No other attached devices.
- Reset memory NVRAM, SMC and ran more than once disk utility. No problem not reported. Ran NVRAM reset before each attempt.
- At ran EtreCheck report which seemed OK.
- Verification of diagnosis ran who is childless.
A detail I noticed after the merger by car there are now two Macintosh HD images when you use boot option. One previously. Are named "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD2". I remember being Yosemite simultaneously in three, but which has been fixed in an update.
In addition, it seems that no recovery partition. Cmd + R lance Internet recovery.

Summary:
Q1: Should it take 4 + hours to install Windows 10 via BCA?
Q2: Al must ultimately be so slow when initially W10 desktop?
Q3; What I do once I arrive at the office of W10 but it automatically updates the graphics driver as BC update is simply suspended for centuries and get a working driver to restart at least W10?
Q4: is there a problem with the disk HARD the Drive of Fusion that is causing all this delay and slow install / boot? ON the clean install OS X 10.11.4 it is back to be fast as usual and all tests show things are OK but W10 goes on the part of the HARD drive. No way to verify this beyond diagnosis or Etrecheck?
Q5: Y at - it no problem with the GPT / MBR that may be causing the delay etc. ?
Q6: How can I use my existing WindowsImageBackup backup from the previous W10 with the BCA install usb drive or how to create a USB stick otherwise recovery disk with my other single Mac have W7?
Q7: How can I install W8 as I once did on Yosemite, via el Capitan without a mistake to TPG on selection of disc?
Details:
Day 5. Attempt at 6.
Partition Boot Camp delete and try again install via BCA. First question, is that when the startup it goes to a blank black screen. For a time nothing left. Reset then using alt to select windows training results in almost instantaneous startup of the BCA message created and the beginning of the installation.
4 1/2 hours from start of Windows 10 initial signature window.
Then the second question. One to reach the Boot Camp update Office tries to start and install the drivers. Allows you to "list files...". "stage then sits at the bar about 5% green for 1 to 2 hours and does nothing. All actions in the Office of the W10 takes ages.
In the meantime, auto update of the W10 appears a message saying that the updated graphics drivers as one of the few messages or actions during this period. Looks like Nvidia install with the entire package of experience (unwanted) etc. and very probably not the correct gpu driver.
Finally deciding to cancel the installation of BC by killing the Setup.exe process. Then copy Boot camp install files on the desktop. Lasts 30 minutes to copy. Run again and this time, although taking 15-20 minutes to download and install later with the success message.
Check the graphic driver it shows a yellow exclamation mark, so the following Microsoft instructions I use the uninstall option via the device and then Manager (slowly) come on board to load and download the latest Nvidia driver on their site for the GTX 780 M for 64-bit W10 etc. The same thing that I had used previously. Slow with running the Nvidia Setup program again, but eventually it works only to say that he could not install as unrecognized graphics device...
He ends up with Microsoft PnP driver so it's at least sufficient start and run it again BC of the figure updates as all other drivers have been installed. To restart, but I get an error of K-Mode that is most likely related to this driver graphic and not possible to start in the new W10 Boot Camp partition after 7 hours.
I have a picture of W10 backup recovery (WindowsImageBackup) I've had in a few weeks, but it will not install bet for the installed W10. I try with the ACO created the USB windows but can't seem to get a way to get into recovery mode and to get the menu to install it. I don't have a way to create a USB W10 recovery key now because my other Mac has just installed W7.
Finally I tried to count a reset of the Recovery boot up option but it seems that it will take longer to start.
I also went to the recovery and selected Boot Mode safe, but it opens on an empty black window and he's here doing nothing.
Looks like I'll have to restart on via BCA and reinstall and try and solve the problem of graphics in order to install driver updates from BC and restart to W10 and hope that with the drivers, it returns to the operation and the normal starting time. Then update the gpu driver.
I used and installed Boot Camp several times with over the years including previously an upgrade of W8.1 > W10 I used for over 6 months without problem. I've never known these installation very long or ice once in Windows even for the initial start upward.
For any help or suggestion would be appreciated, and this seemingly simple process has now expanded to five days.

reformat and erase/wipe hard drive
Hi friends,
I'm about to make a donation or to throw my old Dell desktop that is running Windows XP, sp3 (what that is the possibility arises first
). I'm sorry that I don't remember the name of the model (for the moment). But anyway, what I understand, I need to delete all the data, to protect my private life of anyone who might want to use it after I'm done with it.The research I've done, looks like I need to uninstall and remove programs, documents, pictures, music, etc., as much as possible and record everything I want to keep a cd drive or usb. Then to start the delete process, first I have to reformat the hard drive. After that, I need to "sweep" it. I guess I wouldn't be surprised of this paradoxical terminology, but it IS annoying. I'm talking about it wiping of the process which does not remove anything, but rather replaces the disk, at least a few times, to have my most difficult to recover data
.Could someone me directly to the appropriate instructions for reformatting the hard drive please? Or if there is an article or something about this whole process, which you could link me to, that would be great.
Also, I looked for a program to make wiping. There are those who are free and more expensive. I prefer free, unless they are just not worth it. All of you have recommendations for wiping program?
Actually, come to think of it, I could still be able to use the computer. Once I refortmat hard drive, isn't that kind of start over with a clean slate as? If I couldn't reinstall WinXP right back? Or I wonder if I could install Win7? My most recent computer running Win7, so I should have the cd somewhere. Although this old computer has only 1.24 GB of ram. So maybe not Win7, but even with XP, I could at least still use the printer that is connected to it. (The printer and its software are probably too old to run on my newer computer.) As long as I do not plan to use the internet, there is no security issues with this os to an old/old help... right?
Thanks for your help
Hi Brynn4,
Just to add to the comments of rdunnill, I'm guessing that you can't pay for a new operating system for a computer that is worth less that the license will cost you. My suggestion would be to wipe the drive and perform a new installation of XP if you have the XP Dell installation disk. There are many free utilities that can erase the hard drive safely. You DO NOT need to uninstall anything before formatting the disk.
Otherwise, I would restore the original hard disk image if you do not have a Dell XP disc.
And Yes, I understand that Microsoft ends in favor of XP, but there are many people who use computers for non-critical tasks that would be happy to put more than a few miles on your old desktop computer.

What is the speed of HARD drive disk Fusion 1 TB iMac 21.5 4 k?
OK, so everybody knows that we're stuck with 24 GB of SSD on the 1 TB drive of Fusion on the 4 k, iMac 21.5. Water under the bridge and Yes, not something extremely attractive according to my personal POV.
What I need to know, however, is what the (mechanical) part of HARD drive on this drive? I know that the model used by 5 k a 24 GB SSD + HDD 7200 RPM as their 1 TB Fusion option.
But what of the 21.5? Will I get 24 GB SSD + 7200 rpm or the (famous) 24 GB + 5200 RPM.
Thanks for the help!

How can I perform a clean installation of Mac OS x for my iMAC, retina 5K late 2014 with drive of Fusion with the intact Recovery HD partition?
Pure how to install OSX on a Fusion drive and keep the recovery disc function
These instructions assume that your iMAC partitions or file systems has been damaged and you want to restore to the way most efficiency with fusion drive and the recovery partition, similar to what was built in the factory.
These instructions work for the iMAC, retina 5K end 2014 version comes with OSX Yosemite. The scores of major drive of the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive has been configured as a logical drive (merger by car).
WARNING: These instructions here are shared for interest only. Readers to take their own risk by following these instructions. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions.
This is the target disk partitions, and the configuration that we want to achieve.
Disk0 is the 128 GB SSD - solid state drive and holds the start of the partition (disk0s3)
Disk1 is the 3.0 to HDD - mechanical transmission and holds the Recovery HD partition.
There are two EFI partitions to partition table GUID on both hard drives (disk0s1, disk1s1).
Disk space remaining (partition disk0s2 and disk1s2) are used to create the disc of Fusion 3.1 to named "Macintosh HD".

Fusion unencrypted drive
Here's how we do it.
- A. clean reinstallation of Mac OS x.
- 1. make sure that you back up all your data on the hard drive using Time Machine or other means. The following procedure will delete all data.
- 2. create the OSX install USB, insert it to the MAC workstation.
- 3. given that us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
- 4. in the menu at the top of the screen, select disk utilities.
- 5. turn highlighted the volume of disk Fusion called "Macintosh HD." Click clear to clean.
- 6. If his success, then go ahead to install OSX new to that partition, as usual.
- 7. otherwise, if it does not, that means fusion drive has been damaged.
- 8 follow the instructions below to fix it.
- . B. Split disc Fusion in the physical hard disks
- 1. Since us will be operated on the internal drive of the Mac trunk, assumes that we already have boot up OSX install USB drive (see Y.).
- 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
- 3. on the screen of the terminal type:
- Cs diskutil list.
- You will see something similar to the screen below.
- 4 copy the long string after Logical Volume and replace the UUID with it in the following command to delete the logical volume of the disc fusion (aka coreStorage of logical volume):
- diskutil deletevolume cs UUID
- For example:
- diskutil deletevolume E59B5A99-F8C1-461A-AE54-6EC11B095161 cs
- 5 copy the long string after the logical volume group and replace the UUID with it in the following command to remove the drive (aka coreStorage) fusion:
- diskutil cs remove UUID
- p. ex. diskutil cs remove E03B3F30-6A1B-4DCD-9E14-5E927BC3F5DC
- 6. at this stage, the fusion drive has been deleted, and hardsisk SSD and mechanical hard drive will be reappear in diskutil or separate records.
- 7. If step 5 or 6 takes more than 30 minutes to complete, this means that the fusion drive has been corrupted. You can follow the commands below to clear the table to partition the hard way. First command clears the SSD drive, second command erases the HARD drive.
- The command does not return a response, after 1 minute, press Ctrl + Z to complete orders. 1 minute is enough data to code and erase the partition table on the disk.
- cat/etc/random >/dev/disk0
- cat/etc/random >/dev/disk1
- . C install a new copy of Mac OS x for the hard drive HDD and tested this disk partition hard recovery work.
- 1. go on diskutil to create a partition called Macintosh HD HDD hard drive using all the space there.
- 2 do the same with the mechanical hard drive.
- 3. follow the usual procedure to boot from the installation of OSX USB and install a new copy of Mac OS x hard disk SSD.
- 4. This will create the correct priming of the partitions, recovery hard drive partitions and PSX partitions hard disk HDD.
- 5. once the installation is complete, test if OSX may start successfully, but no need to go through the initial MAC OS x didn't put in place that we're going to waste this and do the installation again later.
- 6. we must now test if the recovery hard drive partition works.
- 7. reboot for hard drive recovery (see X - by pressing command and R at the same time during boot right after that you hear sound start and release only a few seconds after you see the apple logo and the progress bar for loading...)
- 8. it is important to test and make sure that the partition of hard drive recovery.
- D. recreate the fusion drive
- 1 since us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
- 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
- 3
- diskutil list.
- You should find that we have a list of disk group hard physical volume only, no logic here still.
- 4. you will see something similar to the screen below.
- 5. search for the largest partition on the SSD hard drive, which should be close to the maximum size of HDD to the SSD (121 G, for example) and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk0s2
- 6. search the largest disk partition mechanical forming fusion with the SSD hard drive. This should be close to the maximum size of the mechanical hard drive (for example 3 TB) hard disk and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk1s2
- 7 . Now let's create the merger in car (group alias logical volume) in the Terminal, type: diskutil cs create nom_lecteur driveIDs
- The number of the driveIDs is unlimited, it may be a number of discs, or a number of disk partitions. Always put the faster discs first, for example for our SSD disk0s2
- For example:
- diskutil cs create fusiondrive disk0s2 disk1s2
- diskutil - the version of disk utility command line.
cs - This calls for Core Storage, which is necessary for the merger.
create - creates a basic storage group.
nom_lecteur - is the name of the drive and how you want that he - appear in the disk utility (not the Finder - that comes later). You can call it what you like; in our example, we named our Fusion table "Fusion".
- It is important that the faster hard drive appears first in the command, which in our case the disk0s2 (a partition in the SSD). In this way, drive fusion will use this disk as primary and the cache. The second disc in the command, in this case disk1s2 (a partition on the HARD disk). The secondary disk (HARD drive) is used to store less frequently used files. Otherwise, the fusion drive performance will be worse that it is designed for.
- 8. you will see something like below appear on the screen:
- Creation Volume logical storage of kernel
- Move isk0s2 storage of carrots
- Disk1s2 of switching for the storage of carrots
- Waiting for logical volume group appear
- Discovered the new group of logical volumes 'DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 '.
- Store LVG UUID: DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53
- Finished CoreStorage operation
- 9 copy to the bottom of the string after "Discovering new Volume Logic Group" using the command + C
- 10. next, create the partition of the merger (alias logical volume) drive named "Macintosh HD".
- In the Terminal, type: diskutil createVolume groupString jhfs cs + size volumeName
- For example:
- Diskutil createVolume DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
- diskutil - once again, this is the version of disk utility command line.
- cs - called the basic storage functions, which are necessary for this arrangement.
- createVolume - this is the command to create the storage area real for the reader who is represented by an icon on your desktop.
- groupstring - this is the long alphanumeric string you copied in the previous step. It identifies the table you created such as getting a volume placed on it.
- jhfs + -the format of the disc. It is Apple (journaled) extended Format, which is recommended for drives with an operating system installed on it.
- VolumeName - the actual name of the volume, how it should appear under the icon. If there is a space in the name, you must put the full name in quotes ("name") or put a slash before the (name Drive\) space. In our example, we made these, naming our volume "Macintosh HD".
- size : this is the size of the volume. In our example, we had a 1.1 TB drive. We used '1100g' to describe what 1100 GB (1.1 TB to base 10). Otherwise, we could have also used 1.1 T or even 100% as a size.

Wipe the HARD drive before the gift
I feel a bit overwhelmed by the number of available software to wipe hard drives. I have two laptops that I want to clean before giving to charity and I would like to use a program on my newest laptop. I'm looking for suggestions on which the software is easy to use and complete in the cleaning of personal information, files, etc. Because it is not the oldest wireless laptop and I have problems it works with DSL service, I would have preferred a software which comes with a CD.
Thank you

It of free (optional donation) but just as in the image .iso or cd. Download the .iso file and using your program or plug-in free Windows called ISO Recorder of CD burning:
