LG recovery parition?

[xJay]

Theres a Recovery and LG recovery what does those do i heard it format or recovery everything like you just brought the PC/laptop? I asked about this and the guy said i have to use F11 on boot up it doesn't work. What does thease parition do?

The partition you highlighted (the 10GB partition) allows you to reset your system to the original factory settings. But be careful with that because it also wipes out all your user data.

You are much better advised to make images - or at least put your own data into a seperate partition.

How do i access this? What about the other recovery? 1.50 GB


So it's okay if i delete both of the Parition? 1.50 gb and 10gb if i have the restore disk/recovery

I am not 100% certain about the little partition. It is NOT advised to delete those partitions. You can never be sure that the CDs really work.

And access to system restore may be F11 - your BIOS splash screen should tell you.

i press F11 it doesnt work but when i always boot up my laptop it says [F2] Bios [F10] something forgot not about recovery or anything. IF I WERE to delete those 2 Parition what will be my consequences?


If the CDs will format like i brought the laptop i can delete those 2 parition when i do clean install of windows ?

By Upgrading Vista to Windows 7, you disabled the F11 Recovery hotkey.

Boot from the Windows 7 installation disk and delete all partitions. Those OEM partitions apparently can't do you any good now and cannot return you to Vista, even if you wanted to do that.

What "recovery" are you talking about? You can't do a "recovery" to Vista unless you use those CDs you said you had yesterday.

Going from where you are now to a fresh install of Windows is not a "recovery".

When you do the clean install, it should show your C drive and both OEM partitons.

You would delete all partitions and then make 1 new C partition, covering the entire hard drive.

That's a lot, Can't i just use the recovery DVD and do the windows 7 install again since my laptop will be vista again when i use the recovery

You told us 10 minutes ago you wanted to install Windows 7.

Now you say you want to use the recovery DVD and return to Vista.

Make up your mind.

Sorry i was confused with this, i want to use the recovery DVD to erase all the files, viruses that i have, then it will go back to Vista therefore i will use the windows 7 to install windows 7. Basically i will be starting over.

Take a deep breath. Take another.

Relax.

What do you want to end up with when all is said and done?

Vista??

Or Windows 7?

Pick one. Not two.
