System Reserved Partition

[Dimesh]

Hi,

From two days, i have tried to install windows 7 again but i did not know that system reserved partition was important so i delete it, then i saw all of my hard disk become an unallocated.
i search online and found that maybe partition table deleted with this problem but the data didn't deleted and it is on the hard disk(up to 190G).
So.....
I don't know what i must do...
,i am stopped from two days.
,i did not find any online solution suitable for me.
,What i hope is to solve this problem with minimum loss ...

If anyone can help >> thanks

I think the best thing to do is just to reinstall.

 

[Dimesh]

i tried but does not work

See if this software can repartition your Hard Drive
GParted -- Live CD/USB/PXE/HD

try reinstalling, but before you click "install now," hit shift+10 to bring up the command prompt.
at each prompt, type the following:

• diskpart
• list disk
• sel disk 0
• clean all (this will erase and overwrite the entire HDD, zeroing it and will take a long time)
• exit

Then proceed with setup.
if you don't want the system reserved partition, you can:

• click drive options
• create one partition
• delete the 100MB system reserved partition that windows creates
• continue with setup

Gparted is an excellent tool, but in this case likely to be akin to using artillery to kill a fly

Yes madtownidiot is correct, but gparted would work

It seems, u have deleted all partition. Only way is to connect the hdd as secondary and try for power data recovery. Will recover all data. Or if not having the stuff, go for single partition. After Os installed try for data recovery

 

[Dimesh]

Thanks for you for replaying.
But i think i do not make my problem clear !!
I need to restore all of my data.
you tell me to repartition but that will finish my data.
I need them , i know that i can repartition but that will lose.
For Mr.Babu R , that what i need.
but i repartition again then recover or recover?!
will it read unallocated partition or i must partition this an unallocated partition..
maybe my problem is not obvious so i will try to make it clear as possible

Welcome to SevenForums, Do you have a retail version of windows7 dvd? Sounds to me like that you deleted the image that you would need to be able to restore. You also may have deleted the mbr so you cannot boot into win7. Good luck to you with this problem.

Thanks Mr.myzr7 for congratulating me >>>>>

 

[myzr7]

Your Welcome Dimesh. Now if you have a windows dvd you can use it to do a start up repair. If you did delete your startup files by deleting your system reserve and like you say your data is still there then it can be fixed with start up repair

there is smoething i donot mention in my topic
i had Linux system in my hard before that.....
, something had happened with me so i install xp again on its partition.
why i say it ?
as i try install win 7 after this stat so you can guess that there is a swap partition on my hard.
So
After the problem happened the hard view list at installing win7 progress was:
some giga partition (win7 and xp partition i guess ) then swap partition then the whole of other partition.
then after that i decided yesterday to reinstall a new win7 on the first partition
maybe be now i can't do Startup repair
??!!

Ok Dimish, Can you boot into any windows os or linix at this time on your pc? If you can then maybe time to start saving back ups of your data that is important. If you cannot boot to any of your partitions then you should download and burn a rescue disk or a linix live cd and boot with that to save your data. Then clean your hard drive as suggested above and start over with os of choice. Good luck to you

Sorry i know my topic is take more time
but i ca not understand your last repaly....

 

[myzr7]

Dimesh. I meant to say that if you cannot install Windows because of some errors on hard drive then you should look at booting from a Linux live CD to save your important data to a external usb drive. Here is a web blog that explains what a live CD is. Hope that this helps you.

If you deleted the Win7 100mb System Reserved boot partition, then you must recover it into Win7 partition using these steps:

1) Mark Win7 partition Active using DISKPART commands given here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/71432-partition-mark-active.html
While looking at partitions in DISKPART, make sure your Win7 partition still exists, then if so mark it Active.

2) Boot back into Win7 DVD Repair console or Repair CD, click through to Recovery Tools list to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times with reboots to write System MBR to Win7 until it starts. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105541-startup-repair-run-3-separate-times.html

The best way to dual boot Win7 with Ubuntu is on separate HD's booting independently via BIOS one-time BOot Menu key, since GRUB will corrupt Win7 otherwise.

If recovering valuable data is your first priority then I suggest going down the live linux path.
Suggestion:
Download Puppy Linux (don't let the name bother you).
Burn the iso to a cd and boot from it.
It's a very efficient & lean OS and should allow you to pull data off your disk.
Then play around to get your Windows OS in shape.

 

[Dimesh]

how to use this puppy linux, do you have a good link for it or it has from its company

 

[gregrocker]

Dimesh, did you only delete the 100mb System Reserved partition?

Because we can help you start up Windows 7 if that is all that you deleted. We do it all the time.
