Hi,
There is no option when using your Recovery Discs to reinstall that will allow you to keep a custom partition, so you'll have to do this another way. A possible option is described below.
First, click the Start Menu, open Computer and double-click Local Disk C - you should see a folder called swsetup. This will contain all the driver installers and practically all of the software installers for your notebook - back this up to an external device/media.
Next, create a retail installation disc yourself - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same as the version you currently have ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
With reference to the guide on the link below, use this disc to perform the installation - when you get to Step 7, choose the Custom ( advanced ) option and select the C partition as the destination to install Windows.
Windows 7 Custom Installation.
Enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

When the installation has completed, use the installers in the swsetup folder to reinstall your drivers etc.

Good day. can i track my lost 4s using the serial number, cause i have activated the i cloud and still no suceess...

Lost my Iphone 4 s. i tried tracking it with i cloud to no success, and i use the serial number to track it?

No, you can not. In order your phone to be tracked via iCloud it has to be connected to Internet (Data ir WiFi). You may check box "notify me when found" to be alerted when it gets online.

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
After you have Recovered your Device...Re-Sync your Content
Note:
To remove a forgotten Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
OR... From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

I have forgotten my restrictions passcode and i dont want to lose any media on my iphone, or any apps, i am scared to back up my media for restore in future as these photos and videos mean a great deal to me, is there any way i could get around it? Thanks

Thankyou if you can help; oh and last time i restored my iphone it didnt restore ALL the media only some and very improtant photos went missing :(

All media and apps on the device should already be in iTunes on the computer.
If you have forgotten the restrictions passcode, the ONLY option is to restore as new.
Then sync back any media, apps, contacts, etc back to the device.
You can not restore from backup as the restrictions passcode is included in the backup.

Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone or send the unlock request to Apple on the owner's behalf.
Contact the carrier.

I live in Iran
Yesterday I wanted to use iTunes store for windows ; when i have open iTunes it gives me the error 0x80090318 .
I have search the web alot and i have check lots of Iranian and English website but have not find any solution for
this problem . Today I have find a software called "Hide my IP" i have opened up that
when this software was opened , itunes have said "iTunes can't verify the identify of the server "init.itunes.apple.com"".
then i have click on "continue" then iTunes said "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (310)."
And theres a matter that i think that have a connection with this topic and thats , that when i want to go to the lots
of websites like Google Yahoo! Mail and lots of other website my both browser ( FireFox and IE ) will say" This connection is untrusted " .
I think the solution of my second problem is the solution of my first problem too !

Tried all the rest on this site did not work for me
Follow the link below & this one sorted it for me, it was a conflict in programs using Winsock & I got rid of my old program,
Sorted.

My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable fix

My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable to figure out why. It did not used to do this. I can't figure out any pattern to the songs it does it on versus that it doesn't do it on. Some of the songs are purchased, some are imported, etc. We are running Windows 7.

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

How do i get backed up purchases from an old iphone to a new one, but the only problem is an ipod is backed up into the new phone and i cant get my iphone data on to the new phone because its under i pod

how do i get backed up purchases from an old iphone to a new one, but the only problem is an ipod is backed up into the new phone and i cant get my iphone data on to the new phone because its under i pod?

Thanks very much!
Although I had to add everything again to the playlist, at least I can just copy it over in future!

I lost my sync key and dont have access to my other computer and dont want to lose data on server by resetting it. How can I get my sync key?

I have tried words I usually use for passwords and they don't work. If I knew the acceptable format for the sync key, I could try others. But maybe the sync key is the same long number they originally sent me. I am in Chile and my laptop hard drive crashed and I needed to replace it. I can't access my sync key on my desktop in the United states but I want to download my syndc data to my laptop with the new hard drive but I dont have the sync key and I dont want to erase the sync data on the server by resetting the sync key.

I'm sorry but "you should have written it down" simply isn't a good solution. Having the keys at all is a bad idea in my opinion. The keys should be stored in your account and if you authenticate with a password, it should use that key. If you can't keep your password private or secure, that's your problem. The problem with the keys is, you can't delete your account and "start over" if you so wish. What happens if your machine locks up after you sign up and you have no time to write down your key?
You can request a new password, but can't be reminded of your key? This is nonsense. I have had no such headaches with XMarks and I'm trying to find a reason to keep using firefox sync with such an obviously user-unfriendly approach. We're humans, not machines.

When we miss a call, the "Slide to Unlock" doesn't respond to touch. The only way out is to have someone call your iphone and then "Slide to Answer" will respond and once u end the call it will start responding to "Slide to Unlock" this started happening

In your first post you mention you have done a reset and a restore. Those are the last two processes in the user troubleshooting. If those do not work, then the last thing is to go to the Genius Bar. You say you went to Apple and they opened the phone and re-seated the connectors? That sounds unusual, because if there was a hardware issue,they would replace the hardware. You say you cannot get a replacement, is that because you are out of warranty? An out of warranty replacement is only $199 plus tax. It seems to me since you mention the fact you need to press hard to get the screen to react there is something going on with the hardware. If this problem has been going on for over a year, have you been reporting this to Apple. You say you cannot get a replacement and you are on the second phone, I wonder why they are denying you a replacement. Is there something you are not telling us??

Hello Barbara,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you are only seeing the 2 most recent days of your web browsing history in Safari.
If you haven't tried this yet, I suggest going to History > Show All History when Safari is open to see if more sites come up. You can find this step and more information at the following link:

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

HT201363 I want to change the email address used as rescue email for my security questions. But I can't remember the answers to the security questions and I dont have access to the rescue email anymore. Please help.

I want to change the email address used as rescue email for my security questions. But I can't remember the answers to the security questions and I dont have access to the rescue email anymore. Please help.

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
