Accidentally Installed A Linux Os Over My Windows 7 Ultimate?
Feb 4, 2011
i was installing Ubuntu on my hp laptop and i accidentally installed it over my windows 7. and i cant get it back. i tried installing another version from a cd, but it just booted to ubuntu.
i had installed windows 7 in my laptop,but accidentally i installed it in D-drive,now both C & D drives are showing program files,program files x86,windows folders,my D drive is full
I got windows 7 64 bits since more 2 years , i activated it .Recently i changed my hardware for a new graphics card, but i didn't notice anything about a message.But now , i just installed the latest fedora with grub multi-boot, and now my windows 7 is not genuine ?
I have a PC with 2 hard drives- the first hard drive has a single partition and windows 7 64-bit is installed on this hard disk.Now I wish to install CentOS 6 on the first partition of the second hard disk.I have created the dvd for installing Cent OS also.How do I configure the boot loader in Windows? If I install Linux on second hard disk, will this overwrite the Windows Boot Loader? How do I create a dual boot system so that the windows boot loader correctly shows linux as an option, so that I am able to load either Windows 7 (existing) or Linux(on second hard disk- not yet installed)
A friend of mine gave me his computer to perform a quick reformat intoIt had two hard drives, and asked me to please reformat all of them. However One of the hard drives was not being detected with windows, so I went to disk manager, and formatted/shut it off.Now whenever I try to boot back into windows I get the message Grub Rescue, and am unable to boot into windows.I do not have a linux CD, and I only have a windows 7 professional installation disk which is not working since I get the message ''Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer''Status 0xc00000e9If I try to boot windows from an USB flash, it does not get recognized and it displays Grub rescue again
How do i uninstall any linux distro after successfully installing both windows and linux.i dont want to lose my MBR. [or] will it (Windows) rewrite it again.i am a bit scared to do it myself as i was going to do a secure deletion of the partition.
I just loaded windows went as far as accepting key code #'s and it went to update registry and it crashed. After waiting to see if was going to reboot five minutes I rebooted and it starts with wanting an option to start windows and it will run to the start of the logo build and crashes and restarts the cycle of windows startup options ???
I bought a a serial key of Windows 7 Professional x64, but I accidentally have installed Ultimate x64. And I spent 2 weeks setting up my computer, installing soft-wares, games and other stuff. And now I figured out that the key of Professional x64 wont work on Ultimate. Is there any way to shift it to Windows 7 Professional x64 without affecting all the files and settings.
I installed windows 7 ultimate, i did not just upgrade I did the more advanced install. I iinstalled it on a HP pavillion g series that was already running windows 7. I did back it up fully. However, the problem is that it is now not recognizing a properly installed network adapter.
I've recently installed windows 7 ultimate and now the scroller on my touchpad isn't working. I've tried updating the driver but it says I've got the most recent update!!
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and now my built in webcam no longer works. I have a Toshiba Satellite L510-016. I am unsure of the webcam model itself as no information seems to pop up for it anywhere on my computer. I have tried installing drivers with no success.
I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my Dell M1330 and my audio doesnt work (though my headphone jack works). I have looked at several other forums for solutions for this problem, installed several drivers (including but not limited to, R147073, R167846, R171786, and what ever driver dell support recommended me install) and I had my speakers and motherboard replaced. I am pretty sure its a windows 7 problem (according to Dell tech support and my research)
Built a "super computer" with all the bells and whistles, did raid0 array OK installed Windows 7 ultimate on ssd 120GB drive.went to drive management found raid array, partitionnedit as 1 18TB drive without problem BUT when i tried to format it (quick since i suspect it may take days) and iwin sais failled to format drive.i will try to make a Loooong format and see what happens.
I got windows 7 ultimate 32bit free from my school, and decided that I wanted to clean install, and not upgrade it. I transferred all my files off, booted the laptop up with the windows 7 disk, and proceeded to clean install. I didn't have the drivers cd for my laptop, but I just wiped my drive and installed 7 anyway. Now I have windows 7 ultimate 32bit, and can only use 3 of my 4 gigabytes of memory.. The thing I don't really understand is the whole upgrading option, and like, I know that it's a windows 7 32bit dvd, but it doesn't seem right to go from 64bit to 32bit. So is there anyway I can make it 64bit without having to buy a new dvd? And if not, how much am I missing out on, with not having 64bit, especially with having 4 gigabytes of ram?
Does the installation provide flexibility on what Pro / Ultimate features are installed (or should I say enabled) above and beyond what comes standard with Home Premium? Before posting, I did some searching, and found the following link which includes screen shots. Looks like the answer is "No", at least not that I could find. I just built a PC and mainly want my Windows 7 experience to be that of Home Premium, except for just a couple of extra features I wanted. That probably doessn't sound so smart, since I paid for ultimate, but I can explain (sort of). So how different are the menu selections etc between Ultimate and Home Premium.
I used to have ubuntu dual booted with win 7.then i decided i didn't want ubuntu dual booted anymore and wanted my boot up to automatically boot win7.I deleted the ubuntu partition, but then I lost my boot up menu during startup.So I ran the Win 7 Ultimate disk in hopes to repair that.Instead I ended up with a fresh install that seems to be a seperate partition.the good news is it fixed my boot up , but now I have the option of 2 win 7s when I boot.I want to have just 1.and i think the one I want to keep is the fresh install, so my question is.How can I make my new install of win 7 be the only operating system on my computer. The older win7 i have is the one i have been using , but think i want to put all my data i need on a external hard drive, then delete that partition, then make the new fresh installled win 7 as my only operating system on my laptop.
So i've got a netbook from school and I successfully deleted the admin password by putting the HDD into my desktop and clearing it. Now my friends want me to do it to theirs, and I've got one of theirs with me now, and I thought rather than clearing the password I could find out the password so I could do the others easier.I've used OphCrack with the "Vista Free" and "Vista Special" tables and neither of them can find the password. Is there anything else I can do to find out the Administrator password
I tried to shut down my laptop, the "Installing update, do not shut down or power off your computer" screen appears but my battery died during the update. And now when I startup the "Launch start up repair" appears and when i click it, I get stuck on a blue flower wallpaper screen thing and nothing appears. All i can see is the wallpaper and the mouse cursor.
New laptop, it was shut down or closed during the update and now is frozen on the 7 of 8 screen and just hangs there. I cannot reboot and it did not come with a recovery disk. I can't get it to come off this screen at all. I tried shutting it off but an orange light flashes and when I turn it back on it's still on that screen. Since I have no recovery cd or repair CD what do I need to do? If I have to restore I really could care less as I don't have too much on it because it's new. Maybe some photos but whatever.
I've been having problems with Windows 7, then I formatted and that fixed the problem. However, is there a way to get my back all of my old files? If so, I'd like to know. I tried using the Emergency Backup and that recovered a couple of my old files. But there are still a lot of files that couldn't be recovered by the backup. Is there anyway I can recover other files that were lost when I formatted? I've tried a few things like Pandora Recovery and EASEUS, but they didn't do exactly what I wanted them to. They seemed to only be able to recover certain file types and not special file types. Any way I can restore all the files I had before I accidentally formatted?
what option to be used to come back in normal my mini dell inspiron 1018,,it was accidentally unplagged and cannot restart and booth again..what option should be use?
