Uninstalling Windows 7 and Reinstalling Windows 7

My HP Pavillion (p7-1254) Windows 7 operating system is corrupt and I was told to "Uninstall Windows 7 and reinstall Windows" using the backup/recovery disks made for me at the time of purchase.  I need step by step instructions to do this and need to know how/where to find such information.  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

  • ITunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer.  I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open?

    iTunes will not open on my Windows 7 computer.  I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still won't open.  I'm trying to synch my iPad and iPhone, which I haven't done for awhile, but right now I'm having no luck.  I'm sure there is a switch I need to turn on or off, but have no idea where to find it.  Can someone help?

    Doublechecking. Did you just uninstall iTunes, and not the related software and components?
    The 7 can be caused by damage to one of the other software components associated with iTunes (most commonly Apple Application Support). If that's what is afoot, a complete uninstall/reinstall may be of some assistance:

    My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows.  The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable.  The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop.  Can you point me to the best way to do this?  - Thanks

    If you have the two allotted activations already and one was lost on the hard drive that failed then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • Can I format HDD and reinstall Windows 7 on Qosmio F60 without CD

    I think my hard drive is failing on my Quosmio F60 so I want to reformat the hard drive to see if that will fix it. But I don't have the original packaging and information with me at the moment so I'm not sure if it came with a windows 7 CD or not. Either way, I don't have the CD.
    I found on the net that most manufacturer's who deliver without a CD include a "recovery partition" or "factory image partition" that you can access during boot up. Does anyone know if the Quosmio F60 came with a CD or if it has this recovery partition or factory image partition? Or do you know if there's a way I can check if my computer has it?
    If you have any other information on formatting the hard drive and reinstalling windows 7 without the CD please let me know.
    Thanks.

    The notebook did not come with an Windows disk because there is an tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator which create the recovery disk.
    The recovery partition was available and it allows you to recover the notebook without the usage of recovery disk but this does not work if the HDD has failed.
    Here a nice HowTo about HDD recovery
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    So if you dont have a recovery disk and cannot recovery the notebook using HDD recovery then you have two options:
    - You will order a new recovery disk
    - You would install Windows OS using an Microsoft disk

  • Just Re-formatted computer and reinstalled Windows XP; problems

    Hey everyone, I just re-formatted my computer and reinstalled Windows XP, but I can't seem to connect to FIOS. I have the modem sitting on my desk next to me, and all the other computers in the house are connected to it by wire just fine, but when I replugged my wire back into my computer, nothing happened. I tried making a new internet connection, but it wouldn't let me do that for FIOS. The only thing I see under Network Connections is a 1394 connection, and it say Connected, Firewalled. I do not recall getting a CD or anything from the FIOS guy who installed it in our house a while back, so I have no clue what to do. Can someone please help?

    I went to the dell website and put in dimension 8400. They do have the driver there.
    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=DIM_...=
    It under network and is listed as "broadcom driver". Broadcom, Intel, Marvell are three companies that make network adapters. Since Broadcom driver is listed under network on the dell webpage I would assume that your machine has a broadcom network adapter. I would install that and see what happens.

  • Formating and Reinstalling Windows Without a Recovery CD

    I do not have access to my recovery cd as I am currently overseas, and im looking to format and reinstall windows. What would be the best way to do this? Are the recovery cds completely integral to the reinstallation of windows?
    I just dont want to do the reinstall and find I have no screen etc.

    Hi
    Well, if you have no Recovery CD you can install the Windows OS from the original Microsoft Windows CD. Then you can try to download the all necessary Toshiba drivers from the Toshiba download page.
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    But note: You should update the drivers in the right order. The drivers are placed in the right order and this is very important for the new installation.

    Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.

    I had this problem as well but found the soultion on another post from turingtest2 - it worked for me:
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selectingRun as Administrator.

  • My ipod is not recognized by my itunes and tells me to uninstall itunes and reinstall. will this erase all of my music?

    my ipod is not recognized by my itunes and tells me to uninstall itunes and reinstall it.  will this erase all of my music?

    Hi braddyloopy,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes,  your music files should not be erased or affected in any way. It is always a good idea to back up your data before making any changes to your computer, though.
    If you'd like to locate your music, this article explains how to find the files:
    Where are my iTunes files located?

    When you reinstall iTunes, I'd recommend using the method in this article to make sure it's reinstalled completely:
