Remove everything and install windows again

I have MSI AE 2212G with win8.
If i use this option (Remove everything and install windows again),would i have the drivers installed and MSI programs coming with PC after installation?
Thanks

Use what option? Are you talking about the integrated and automated recovery or installing Windows yourself from another install media not coming with the PC?

Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A-02L001) - Remove Vista and install Windows XP

I am awaiting delivery of a L300. I also bought XP as I want to instal XP as soon as I get the L300. The laptop comes with Vista installed which I have never liked.
I was intending to create a Vista recovery disk just to be safe before I start the conversion.
I was going to let the XP installation disc reformat and partition the HD.
I was also going to download all the XP drivers for my model from the Toshiba website, then instal them once the XP installation had completed.
Is there anything I should be aware of, or have missed?

Hi!
I think you are right but before you do something let me give you some words of advices:
Before you do something on your notebook or start to install Windows XP you should create the Toshiba recovery disk of Windows Vista. I know that you dont like Vista but with these disks you can every time restore the factory settings of your notebook. Independent on that you have installed on your notebook. You must only boot from the recovery disk and follow the screen instructions. The factory settings will be restored in few minutes and you must not install additional drivers. The disk contains already all drivers and tools from Toshiba and so you can save a lot of time!!! Furthermore if you get some problems with your notebook you can test it with factory settings to determine if its a software or hardware problem. As you can see its very useful and easy the recovery disk.
According the XP installation you need a Microsoft disk. You should format the HDD and then you can create the partitions as you want. In your case I would make one partition for the system and a second one for your data. The point is if you have to reinstall Windows XP at some point you must not backup the data first because they are already stored on the second partition and for reinstall Windows XP you must only format the first partition. Of course you can do what you want but so I install Windows on my notebooks.
Last but not least the drivers you can get from the Toshiba Australian website, thats right. I think it should not be a problem to install it so just download all and the Toshiba tools. After this the installation of XP is complete and you can do what you want.
By the way, if you have installed all drivers and tools for XP you can make an image of your installation. For example with Acronis True Image. So you can restore your XP installation at every time and I think this can help you to save time. I have good experience with Acronis and I make an image of my custom installations too.
I hope that was useful for you and if you have more questions, please let us know.
Have fun with your new Toshiba notebook! :)
Bye

Portege R30-A-137 - Removing Windows 8 and installing Windows 7

Hello,
I have a Portege R30-A-137 notebook with Windows 8 installed and need to remove w8 and install Windows 7.
According to documentation, computer has a preinstalled Windows 7 version, but i dont know howto install it.
I only have windows 8 restoration disks.
Saving preinstalled operating system on usb and booting computer with it, only reinstall win 8.
Is there any way to install preinstalled windows 7 on this computer ?
Thanks in advance.
JoSerra

I guess you mixed up some important facts:
The notebook Portege R30-A-137 is preinstalled Win 7 64bit Professional. You dont need to install this OS again if its installed!!!
The additional Win 8.1 Pro DVD was supplied with the notebook.
The Win 7 64bit is installed but there is NO disk/medium.
Therefore its recommended to create the Toshiba Recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Medium Creator software.
This recovery disk can be used in case you changed the system for example to Win 8.1 and want to switch back to Win 7.
This was mentioned in user manual!

My OS X 10.9 corrupted and i cleaned everything and installed ubuntu linux. I need clean install OSX again and i cant able to reach OS utility now. Please advise

You cannot use a Windows machine.
No idea if this will work because you have/had Ubuntu installed - hit Command + Option + R keys while restarting/booting up. Once in the Utilities, make sure the drive is formatted correctly and erase it, then reinstall the OS.

How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it. Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple. While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows). You will also not be able to install firmware updates. Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific. You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update. You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it. At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.

I want to triple boot Have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives and I want Windows 7 on another drive, can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on another internal drive?

I want to triple boot my Mac Pro I have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives (osx on drive 1, xp on drive 2) and I want Windows 7 on another drive (drive 4, drive 3 is used by osx for storage), can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on drive 4?
I realise bootcamp only allows 2 operating systems and refit could change the size of my current xp drive to accomodate W7, that is not an option here for various reasons one being the drive is pretty much at capacity with only about 30gig free (I work with video so that free space fluctautes quite a bit). I have a brand new drive 4 with 1TB set aside ready for W7 but I'm unsure how to go ahead?
any help or advice would be really appreciated, thanks

Boot Camp is used to support Windows on the same drive.
You can have a different OS on every drive.
You could have Windows 7, Vista, and XP all on one drive if you so choose.
I recommend not putting Windows and OS X on the same dirve when talking about Mac Pro - unless you just need something small and lite.
Remove all your other drives while you install Windows 7.
You could even relocate XP - if you need it even - or recover the hard drive space.
You should always keep 30% free for Mac OS; same for data/media drives.
Considering 1.5TB WD Black $110.... and you want OS X to be on a fast high performance drive as well.

Hello Leanne,
Thank you for the question. I understand that you are concerned about losing your media files when uninstalling, but the media files and the application files for iTunes are stored in different locations. When uninstalling the iTunes application, your media files are not affected.
The following article provides information about where the media files are stored:

From few days, it takes more than 30-60 minutes to open Firefox. I am on Vista. I have tried to reset firefox & have uninstalled and installed it again.

Hi,
From few days, it takes more than 30-60 minutes to open Firefox on my laptop. I am on Vista & have got Anti Virus as well. I have already tried to reset firefox, have uninstalled and installed it again. My firefox version is 29. But nothing seems to help.
Can you please help in this regard, as I really do love using Firefox, but due to this issue, I am forced to use other browsers.
Thanks
Gaurav

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

[SOLVED] Formatting and installing windows on another partition

Hello..
I'm planning to reformat my Windows XP partition with GParted and install Windows 7 on it instead.
When I remove the "boot" flag on my /boot partition before doing anything, then format the partition, install Windows 7 on and put the "boot" flag back with GParted live CD, everything should be working fine, shouldn't it?
Or will formating the Windows partition somehow affect Arch (as I'm accessing it with Arch)?
Or will Windows bootloader still overwrite Grub, even if I remove the "boot" flag on it?
Thanks..

Thanks.. you were right, but everything worked fine. Took me some time to figure out how to restore Grub as I didn't realize I installed it to a seperate partition.

You can try installing 7-Zip (free), then right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file to unpack its contents, and install AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. It may still not install successfully, but if it doesn't you may get a more useful error message regarding the reason why.
