LG recovery parition?

Windows 7.

im doing recovery to delete every viruses, files i have.

You do NOT need to do a "recovery" to delete viruses and files.

You do NOT need to use the recover DVD.

If you have a valid Windows installation disc, the Windows 7 installation will let you delete all partitions, all viruses, all files, etc.

Do you have a valid Windows installation disc and what exactly does it say on that disc???

What does it say on your Windows 7 installation disc?

 

[xJay]

Hmmmm..........

Well, since you don't have the disc, you can't do anything.

When you get the disc, let us know what it says on it.

By the way, where did your brother get this disc?

 

[xJay]

It's windows 7 home premium Disc since mine is home premium since my laptop was his before.

He got the disc from futureshop or bestbuy.

Refer to the second link in theog's post 14 in this thread.

That tutorial shows you how you do a clean install with a valid Windows 7 disc.

I would choose option 2, custom install?

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Yeah, that should work.

 

[xJay]

which one is the easiest most of them is confusing

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Use the one that you understand best. They are all confusing to a greenhorn.

If one fails, try another.

Will this work? Boot from CD/DVD first in boot order in bios, and delete all paritions? including the C: and make a new C: for the whole HDD?

Why are you trying to make this even more complicated?

Do you know what you will see when you boot from the DVD? How do you propose to "delete all paritions" from the first screen that you see?

The tutorials are there for a purpose. You might try one of them.

But you can't do anything now. You say you don't have the DVD.

 

[xJay]

Will this work How to Format and Reinstall Windows 7 - YouTube

Yeah, that's about what you see.

Enjoy your time in the BIOS.

So i can follow that video?

 

[ignatzatsonic]

So i can follow that video?

You can try to follow that video.

I don't know if you will be able to follow that video.

You may come to a fork in the road and not know which fork to take if the video doesn't exactly match what you see on your screen.

In which case, you start another thread.

The key points are to use "advanced drive options" and delete all available partitions---3 in your case.

But, you can expect to be confused at some point, just as you are now.

when i delete all 3 do i click next or do i click new for a new harddrive?

 

[ignatzatsonic]

when i delete all 3 do i click next or do i click new for a new harddrive?

I don't recall the exact available choices.

And they may not be obvious in any video or tutorial you may find.

You will have to use your best judgement at that moment.

If you fail with one fork in the road, start over, and take the other fork in the road.

If you have a valid Windows installation disc, you can do it a million times if necessary---however many it takes to get it right.

The only way to learn is to do it--you probably aren't going to get all of your questions answered beforehand.
