Reinstall help
Hey people
My Windows recently refused to boot after i put a flash disk in my machine. I tried everything possible to fix it and nothing worked. Then i went for a reinstall. unfortunatly the defult location was the recovery partion of my hard drive, so it parallel installed and i couldnt do anything on that windows either because it had no disk space to work with. so i installed again to the correct partion. Its is working and i have recovered my files, but I now have three problems.
1) there are 2 operating systems on my computer. I want the one in the recovery partion to go.
2) My media wont play. Windows media player is claiming a problem with my sound card. this is a brand new pc that has only been treated well. I tried putting in the drivers disk that came with the machine and installing that but it didnt help.
3) I couldn't recover actual programs, only files. I've reinstalled office but I'm not sure about 2 things. a) is the old one still on my machine and taking up space? b) have i now used up another one of the three computers that youre allowed to install student office on?
I would really appreciate any help. This is a new machine and really shouldnt be giving me this trouble, and i can't afford to take it to someone.
