and do what exactly?
In additon to what Bob mentioned...
If you want to remove Windows 7 from your PC, then a DBAN disk works very well.
If you want to then install OS X, you can't, but you can install Linux.
If you want to install Linux on your Mac, you can't, not directly, well you can but it's a pain and not on newer machines, just the older ones pre-early 2011
If you want to install Linux on your PC, I can help you, but you have to decide what distro you want to install first
If you want Linux to look like OS X on your PC, I can help you.
If you want to dual boot Windows 7 and Linux on a PC I can help you.
If you want to triple boot OS X 10.6, Linux and Windows on your pre-2011 Mac I can help you.
If you want to quad boot, 10.7, 10.6, Linux and Windows on the same pre-2011 Mac I can help you.

  • Want to remove Windows XP plug&play driver

    Ok I did a stupid thing. I had just reconfigured my whole system and forgot that I still hadn't installed my iPod software and I plugged my iPOd into the computer and the drivers were installed by windows...I want to remove them and do it properly otherwise the updating is so slow because it goes through Windows first. Anybody know how to remove iPod drivers that were just installed?

  • I want to remove windows explorer 7 and the Yahoo toolbar, if this cannot be done I will find another browser!

    I think this is pretty basic. Your browser has always been user friendly and allowed a high level of personalization. I don't like Yahoo toolbar thinking for me. I don't like the intrusive windows explorer 7. I am disturbed that you choose to base your system on this parasite. You have sold us out!
    Looking for a new browser!

    You can remove the Yahoo Toolbar. It probably got installed as an "optional" item when you installed some other software from the internet, maybe because you did not un-check the option to install that extra item.

    If by saying '''''"remove windows explorer 7"''''', are you referring to '''Internet Explorer 7'''? How do you plan to keep Windows up to date? The Windows/Microsoft update site requires Internet Explorer on your system to use the site.

    Firefox is not related to or based on Internet Explorer or any other browser. What ever gave to that idea?
    Why are you using such an old version of Firefox? Your version is 3.5.7 which is no longer supported and no longer being updated, even for security related issues.

  • Remove windows Installation from Old WD hard drive and Install Fresh Copy on the New One.

    Hi Community! I just bought a new WD Blue 1 TB hard drive, my old hard drive is WD Blue caviar 500 GB, running on Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit.
    There are two things I wish to do: 1. Firstly, if it's possible, I would like to copy some videos, images, music etc. from my OLD Drive to the new one.
    Please note that, I don't have an external disk to do it, I know that would've been less complicated, but that's not an option at this point. 2. Secondly, once that is done, if possible, I want to remove windows 7 installation from my old hard drive, re-partition it to make it just the storage drive, and finally install
    fresh copy of windows 7- 64 bit to the new Hard drive.
    Please note that, my old Hard drive is installed on windows 7- 32 bit and now I want to install a fresh copy of Windows 7-64bit instead of 32bit, because I am upgrading my
    configuration with better ones.
    I am adding 4 GB corsair vengeance ram to my 2 GB corsair ram, so that is 6 GB in total.
    I am adding 1 TB hard disk to my 500 GB Hard disk, so that is 1500 GB.
    Both my processor and mother board supports 64 bit.
    Intel® Pentium® Processor G2020 (3M Cache, 2.90 GHz) And this Mother board - "Biostar H61MGV3"I know that you could clone the partition and migrate the installation from one hard drive to another using the Acronis True Image WD Edition Software, but I don't want that.
    In simple words, say I have a dos computer, I installed my 1TB WD hard drive, installed a fresh copy of windows 7-64bit. So my computer is up and running. Now, I have another hard
    drive which I wish to use, that is 500GB WD, but it has Windows 7-32 bit installed in it.
    So what I want to do is, make this old hard drive a complete 500 gb storage device and remove the windows installation from it, without loosing music, videos, etc. and then lastly
    copying the music and other media to the new hard drive, and formatting it completely.
    I am perhaps making this very complicated, I know you would have better easier solution for this.
    I am frustrated, your help would be appreciated, thanks a lot. Sincerely, Abe

    Since you don't want to clone the drive (I agree with you), you can just swap drives and install Windows on the new drive. Windows won't complain that you are installing on a different drive because it only cares if you change more than one piece of hardware at a time. The problem will arise when you copy the files from the old drive because you cannot just connect it via SATA. That would confuse Windows, as both installations were run on that hardware. You need to mount it in an external dock via USB 2.0/3.0 which will isolate the details of the OS. After you copy all necessary files, you can use WDC Lifeguard to write zeros to the entire disk and then create a new partition. After that you can mount it via SATA because it will be a new drive. Do NOT be in a hurry to wipe the drive however, as you don't want to forget something.

    Scott, welcome to the forum.
    When requesting help you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.
    Here is a guide that will help you logon automatically using Win 7.  If you are using another OS, you can search for a guide for it.  This works great if you are the only user.  I use this method everytime that I reinstall my OS.

  • I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this

    I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this?
    I have iPhoto version 9.1.5 (615)
    Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    I want to do this because when I imported from my old hard drive there was an error message stating that 12 photos were not imported as the programm did not recognise the format even though they were jpegs like the other photos in that particular album. The dates of the photo folders are wrong I have multiple copies of photos and every time I start iPhoto I get the following message 12 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported would you like to import them No or Yes
    if you press Yes the same message comes back again and if you press Yes again the program flicks to last import for 2 seconds and then opens events.
    if you press No the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user/judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos then if you press OK the original message 12 photos have been found.............
    if you press No at this point the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user /judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos_11 the end number goes up by 1 every time you go through this process
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
    The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    For the annoying start-up message:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • Items on ipod that do not show up on Device list, want to remove them

    A pod cast and a video I downloaded from itunes and copied to my ipod are on my ipod but when I connect the ipod they do not show up on the lists of items on the device. I can see and play them on the ipod, but cannot find them on the list of items on the ipod when I connect to itunes...
    I want to remove them and can't
    baffled....

    They should be able to help you. You must have the iPod set to manually managed. Podcasts generally work best when set to auto-sync.
    To find these files it is easiest to create a smart playlist on the iPod itself with the right rules to find the files while it is set to manually manage. To delete files through a smart playlist you will need to hold the "Alt" key on the keyboard then hit the Delete key. Atl/Delete is for Mac but may be a combination of Delete and Shift, Control, or Windows key on Windows PCs.

  • How can I remove a Disabled Extension not compatible with Firefox 4.0.1? I just want to remove it... I don't want to wait for a compatible update. Why can't I remove it?

    When I upgraded from 3.XX to 4.0.1, it informed me that 2 extensions were not compatible and it never gave me the option to remove them. Firefox 4.0.1 disabled them and now I'm not able to remove them.
    Also they were added by Acrobat Pro X (Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.0) and Nokia Ovi Suite (Firefox Synchronisation Extension 7.3.4.51).
    These extensions won't probably be updated unless they update the software that installed them. With this said, How can I remove the disabled extensions? Why it doesn't give me a button to remove them to start with?

    I think it's not the problem of compatibility. Extensions installed into Windows registry won't have a remove button ( or it's greyed out ). For these extensions, you can have a look into these keys:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
    If you are under a 64bit OS as I am, you may also try this key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
    And you may find the registry entries corresponding to the extensions you want to remove. Just export them to a backup.reg, then delete these entries. Firefox will do the rest, but it seems that fx still leaves extensions.rdf untouched. You can also delete the RDF entries corresponding to those extensions inside extensions.rdf
    cf: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons#Windows_Registry_extension
    BUT the Wow6432Node key wasn't mentioned in the above article
    I had to search the registry to find out the entry corresponding to a Fiddler2 extension, then I found the Wow6432Node key. I also saw the Nokia Ovi Suite entry beside the Fiddler2 entry.
    Hope it helps.
