I would like to format my computer to nine. I have windows Vista. I have already done but I am not able to repeat it. I tried everything but what I find information as it is to format and put XP ...
I started with the drive and reinstall windows, but I still have things that are on the computer that were not deleted.
In addition, he has never asked for any activation key ...
Help me please!
I may have succeeded ... After inserting the installation CD and restart, when it asks where to install the operating system, I formatted my two HD (C: and D:). Then I installed Vista on C:. Was this correct to do this?
Yes very correct!
So does it work?
Currently yes, it works. It was the right thing to do to format the HD ? Currently I have one (C:) has 80 GB and the other (D:) 10 GB on the D Before there were files that were there when I had my computer. Now it is empty. Does he need me to do something? I saw a few places it is possible to have a DC with an operating system and another HD with another SE. Is it necessary that I install Vista on D: as well?
No, definitely not! The windows must always be on the C: \.
For the 10 gig partition there was no need to format it too but now that it's done ...
Do you have a Dell-branded PC or HP or another?
If so it is quite possible that you go onto this one had a backup of your Vista (but I'm not sure, it depends on the brand of your pc).
You probably resettlement DVD which is exclusive to your PC, it contains all the drivers necessary for your system.
During installation you had perhaps the choice of format only "C" and install Vista, or otherwise recover your PC and leaving the factory.
if you have vista, you cant install Xp through it. first you have to format vista partition and install via xp bootable disc
