VERACRYPT NEVER SAVE HISTORY INSTALL

I have a good new install of Windows (performed on 3/2) so why should I reinstall again? If there is something I missed the first time around and the only fix so to reinstall windows I am willing to do a reinstall but I need to know what it I missed the first time around in order to avoid the same issue. I did that on my last computer without any issues. As far the small partition for Windows I wanted to have a completely separate partition for my data. I never had a 100 mb partition only the ones shown in the screenshot so I didn't know which one to delete. In your case you have a Factory Image Partition which manufactures inserted rather than provide DVD with Windows on it.Ģ300peterw I never said that I deleted the 100 partition only that I've read about deleting it as a solution. Recovery Tools Partition - 500 MB advised size - Linux will see this as sda5ĭata Partitions - This is not a need but can be useful - Linux will see this as sda6 Windows Partitions - about 20 GB NTFS minimum but with updates that will jam up and you need at least 100 GB and hope the user does not have a large storage requirement - Linux will see this as sda4 Other Utility Partitions - such as a Dell 40 MB diagnostics one to work preboot - Linux will see this as sda3 MSR - Microsoft Reserved Partition - 16 MB size - no partition ID - Linux will see this as sda2 System - FAT32 - Minimum size 100 MB but can be much bigger and if an OS is small enough it can fit in and work from here - called ESP or EFI - Linux will see it as sda1 Primary GPT Header - small part of the hard drive reserved for holding partition information on GPT/UEFI systems MBR - protected - very small part of the hard drive reserved for holding the 4 partition information If you have set it up as a UEFI, then Windows will work with that and if as Legacy it will install as Legacy.Īfter you have it installed then use a guide such as Opens a new window and whole disk encryption is at the end.

You could use that Factory image but it is so old now that I think it better to just download a Windows iso and install from that. Deleting partitions is not a good idea and I recommend that you do a reinstall to get a clean state. Anyhow, for your information, at the bottom of my post, I have listed the partitions and utilities that you could see on a UEFI hard drive. I think that you are using legacy boot and not UEFI and I thought that UEFI was the prefered method for PCs of that vintage. I am using Windows 8.1.įirst of all comments about the partitions.

Has any suggestions I would be appreciative. Reserved and I got a warning that if I remove it might not be able toīoot into the recovery image. I can remove it from the install disk but it is marked as OEM My guess is because it's marked as an active recovery I don't have the option of removing the 450 mb partition in computer I think that thisĬomputer is too old for secure boot because I'm not finding it in the Have any data on this drive so I am not against a reinstall if necessaryīut I want to keep the recovery partition on it. I'll attach a screenshot from disk manager. So which one do I remove? One looks like it might be in use by the Is that why I can't use truecrypt or veracrypt? If The only thing I could definitively read to do Then I tried veracrypt and it just sat at loading. After that on reboot Truecrypt couldn'tīoot the OS at all and I had to use my install disk to fix the boot This was on a veracrypt forum and they said The only thing IĬould find (outside of making sure to select AES and turn off secureīoot) was that this was a known issue on HP machines and I have an HP Initially after the reboot it failed pretest (even though windowsīooted) and I had to revert.

System with a fresh install of 8.1 with truecrypt but I am unable to.
