    Windows 10 missing RESTORE partition in "REFURBISHED" notebooks.


    Microsoft should police used and "REFURBISHED" notebook vendors who install Win10 PRO on SSD WITHOUT a RESTORE partition. This means the customer will be unable to create a RESTORE DISK to protect their investment in Windows. It is a scheme to sell below-standard hardware with phony "Win 10 fresh install."

    Notebook restore disk?

    A friend of mine has a twinhead notebook. And needs to reformat it. The problem is that the restore disk is missing. So can i install windows xp on it? Will it work? How about the hardware drivers for the notebook? Where can i get them and how do i install them? And is there away i can get a copy of the restore disk?

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
