I had windows 7 32bit home and ran into problems so I decided to install the 64bit version and it was working good then all of a sudden the computer turned off, it was like a bsod with no blue screen, the computer restarted and booted into the old 32bit version, I thought a windows install formats the hard drive, why is the old version on there? How do I get rid of it

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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI wanted to reformat my laptop using a 64-bit windows 7 professional DVD, but everytime I boot it up after the installer loads and before it reaches the Installation GUI it automatically shuts down. I tried booting up my Kaspersky original CD since it has this Rescue Tools but as soon as it reaches the GUI of my laptop shuts down. The reason I wanted to reformat my laptop was because a Trojan named " JS:ScriptIP-inf" infiltrated my laptop and after changing my antivirus to kaspersky internet security 2013 my laptop just became too slow that my commonly used programs and games now takes so much time before it could open.My laptop is an MSI CX420, Core i5, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, ATI Mobility Radeon 5470 with 1GB dedicated memory.

At the beginning of the problem when I booted up my computer, I would check to see if the built-in wi-fi was working. If it wasn't, then it would freeze up at some point (usually soon after) and I was forced to restart. Whenever I booted my computer up and saw this problem, I restarted immediately. If the wi-fi was working, then the computer functioned normally. This was only an occasional problem, so I was able to deal with it by restarting when I found the problem.Then, a couple of weeks ago, my computer automatically forced a hard drive scan upon startup and found 4 corrupted segements on my disk. Next time it booted up, it scanned again and the errors had dissapeared.
Unfortunately, my problem worsened yesterday. When I booted it up, everything has significantly slowed down. It hangs on the Windows screen before I choose my profile, after I choose my profile, when it's loading my profile, and when I perform any task. I tried to start it in Safe Mode and found the same problem. I've found that if I just wait around (usually about 30 minutes), the computer catches up to itself and can perform normally for a while until I start to perform a demanding test. Then it hangs again. Can anyone identify a probable problem? It seems like it is a hardware problem mainly because it isn't an isolated event.
I think my hard drive is dying, The reason being is I can not boot my PC..
View 2 Replies View Relatedam completely stuck and not sure what to do. I am a MS employee, got a free (legal) copy of Win7 ultimate under the home usage program and our internal help desk says they donupport. I have loaded many OS onto laptops at work, so know the basic routine. Computer is HP Pavillion Desktop, came with Vista Home edition about two years ago. I checked for compatibility and chose to do a custom install. On first install I forgot to eliminate the second partition that had the original image. Computer booted up ok (incredibly slow, about 15 minutes) but could reboot without bluescreen. Wireless worked, I was able to do some windows updates but knew something was very wrong, so didnattempt to reinstall programs. Printer driver loaded on its own. Re-did the custom install, this time deleting the extra partition.
Now, I can barely boot up, the machine blue screens on the way, wireless does work and it doesn recognize my home network or any other network (usually there are 3 or 4 in my neighborhood that show up). Shutting down will blue screen as well, I tried yesterday. Im leaving it up and running hoping for a miracle cure. On first attempt, I was able to capture this information.

Every time the computer is "accidently" powered off upon reboot Google reverts to showing 10 results per page, filtered results and opening in the same page (the default settings). This goes for every site that I have remember my login name.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've built a brand new PC and decided that I would like to install windows 7 64 bit on my SSD, I got a disk+key from my university before christmas so that'd i'd be ready once i'd built it.
I built the PC yesterday and realised that I'd left my external DVD drive at my university accommodation, I'm at my parents house for christmas break so that's a few weeks left. I can't really wait that long so I used my parents laptop (which I'm posting from now) to turn the disk into an .iso and use the microsoft USB utility to make a USB stick that i could install from.
However when I tried the install gets to 'installing features' and gives 'windows cannot install required files' error code 0x80070570 I looked the code up on google which sent me to a lot of threads here, so far I've tried:

First off this is a newly built computer, all fresh components. aftercleaning/activating the hdd via shift +f10 at Windows 7 setup,(which took me a day to figure out) i was very excited to see my hdd available for Windows 7 installation. as i proceed windows does its thing, after installing its time for the first restart. it restarts right back to the initial windows 7 setup ive done a lot of research, and majority of the problems seem to be the boot priority in bios. so i made sure that it was usb-hdd, then hard drive. (Windows 7 on flash drive for me, no dvd burner available). still the same thing, right back to initial setup. i tried maybe to remove the flash drive during the 10 second countdown to restart, but when it restarts, the windows splash screen comes up and then blue screens and restarts real quick. cant see what the error is on bsodthere have been a couple different start up issues, "windows did not start properly" "select version of windows to start from" (or something to that effect.) but its all the same outcome. windows 7 just wont finish installation
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a re-install of all components following a complete corruption of the boot sector on my drive which could not be fixed with repairs. The last time I installed everything fresh, I had no issues. Between then and now, there have been no hardware changes on my system, but now I am having issues installing the IDT Codecs. I keep getting an error along the following lines: Quote: ExitError: Error=Device Object not present, restart the system and run setup again. Running under compatibility mode, and running drivers from both the motherboard CD and the manufacturer website both have the same effect. The CD, when booted, says "This OS not support!" and only contains 32-bit vista codecs. ECS' website download indicates the IDT drivers as being compatible with Windows 7. Both do not work. It is almost as if the hardware "disappeared," despite the fact that I was using the drivers quite successfully till just 2 days ago, when the boot sector went kaput.
Windows has installed its own default set, which do nothing to power the 8mm jacks which I use with my speakers, but instead put sound through the HDMI, which is useless because I use a dedicated graphics card. I have tried uninstalling this codec and re-installing IDT, to no effect. Windows replaces with its own default codec.I have referenced this thread here, but offered solutions do not seem to work for me: Intel IDT Audio Driver will not install
