| 776342 | 2009-05-24 01:20:00 | Hi I foolishly installed the Beta version of Windows 7. I would now like to cleanly remove it from my system, including the auto startup when my machine is switched on. Any advice, please? | louisbotha (5905) | ||
| 776343 | 2009-05-24 01:23:00 | Install another version of windows (or something else), and format / install over it (if there's nothing else on the hdd) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 776344 | 2009-05-24 02:21:00 | Several ways to do this - but more info is needed. What is the Other OS installed , XP, Vista How is the Windows 7 Installed, on a different partition in one drive - or on a seperate hard Drive. |

| 776346 | 2009-05-24 09:48:00 | I tried that on XP Blam and it wouldn't boot my XP CD which works fine in the end I used a month old Acronis image | gary67 (56) | ||

Hence the questions I asked earlier to which there has been no reply yet. Based on logic, removing an operating system should be as simple as formatting the drive and restoring the original MBR |

Thats why here you have to be careful what you suggest - if it stuffs up is the person making the suggestion going to take responsibility for lost data, etc. -- I already know the answer so no need to reply. |
