How do I Reimage a SafeGuard Easy laptop?

garberfc

I have an old laptop that is protected with SGE. I don't care about the OS or data on the laptop, I just want to reinstall a new OS. How can I reimage it?

When I boot with the new Windows install disk is can't recognize the installed disk.

Thanks in advance,

F

    Hi,

    you need to reset the MBR from the protected drive first.

    This can be done by using the Windows OS install CD / DVD and run the command "fdsik /mbr" or "FIXMBR" e.g. by using BootRec.exe /FIXMBR".

    After that I would expect that Windows can recognize the drive again and you would be able to setup you new partition setup as well. 

    Note:

    You won't be able to read any data from the old / original implementation after running the above describt command. 

    Best regards
