| 847818 | 2010-01-12 23:50:00 | and in response to speedy Gonzales, Avira has not been installed | jill (15563) | ||
| 847819 | 2010-01-13 00:09:00 | So, if you havent installed Win7 yet, WHAT files are you backing up, and what are you backing them up to? If this is a laptop? Since its a laptop doesnt it have a restore partition. So you can create cd's or a DVD ? If it does create them then do a clean install of Win7 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 847820 | 2010-01-13 00:13:00 | yes this is an ASUS laptop which I am backing up to an external hard drive..Seagate. I was just giving the 'back up files' command. I can manually copy the important documents to the Seagate drive but dont know if I may lose something else important when Windows 7 is installed. I am also getting a message that Java is corrupted and I cant uninstall it to reinstall. | jill (15563) | ||
| 847821 | 2010-01-13 00:16:00 | Well if there's a restore partition on it and theres a program in the menu, to create cds or a dvd. I would create them. Then you wont have to back anything up. Then do a clean install. That'll probably kill those errors Have you checked to make sure there are drivers for Windows 7 for it, before you install it? |

| 847822 | 2010-01-13 01:10:00 | I did download a thing to check I could install Windows 7 and it said Ok. A few people (inc Wainuitech) have suggested that it wouldn't be wise to intall a new system if the drive is faulty. Not sure whether the info from the CBS log suggested it is just corrupted/missing files. | jill (15563) | ||
| 847823 | 2010-01-13 01:37:00 | Well if its full of errors with vista and you get the same thing with Windows 7, you may as well replace the hdd. And since its still under warranty, I would take it back and get the hdd replaced for free | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 847824 | 2010-01-13 04:27:00 | I have found the recovery DVd for windows Vista. Should I try to use it?? and, probably a silly question, when I put the DVD it shows the contents but doesnt run. How do I run it? | jill (15563) | ||
| 847825 | 2010-01-13 05:19:00 | Put the disk in and boot restart your computer. You need to have the DVD drive set as first boot device in the BIOS. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 847826 | 2010-01-13 05:46:00 | I have found the recovery DVd for windows Vista. Should I try to use it?? That will destroy all your data, same as a fresh install of Win7. |
