How do i change my Windows 7 Premium back to Windows 7 starter?
I'm brand new to these types of sites but i really need the help.
I have a Dell Inspiron mini 1018. I got it as a gift from a friend that moved away.
It originally had windows 7 starter on it, and he partitioned it with Ubuuntu. I didn't know how to get that off so i tried something that was referred to me by something i read, and then it went black. No way to boot it, nothing. So I got a Windows 7 disk (Premium) and loaded that on it. Now, this netbook has no cd/dvd drive, so i had to do this all by flash drive. Well, it worked. But now it is so slow, among other things, and the disk drive is like this. 1st partition - 100 mb and it's OEM -/ 2nd partition - recovery 9.77 gb ntfs / 3rd partition - OS (c) 162.05 gb ntfs / 4th partition - 59.98 gb / and the 5th partition - 101.2 mb / and all say primary except the one with C., which says System, Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump.
OK, so,,do i need all these partitions, and if not, how do i change them. And let's not forget on seeing if i can get the OS back to Windows 7 starter. I know it HAS to be on there somewhere.
Thanks for any help i can get.
