What files are absolutely necessary ?

[arcmokuro]

Hey, since I cannot reinstal windows 7 (I gave up)
I would like to know what files are needed, I want to manually delete pretty much everything that was added, i'm not looking for a perfect clean but if you guys could tell me what I should AVOID deleting it would be cool

thx

What OS did you currently have?
Why where you trying to reinstall?
Did you ask for help on reinstalling windows?
What is your issue with reinstalling?
Is this a OEM computer (hp, dell, etc) or custom built?

Trying to instal lunbuntu I broke it so I did a repair, now windows 7 works

I asked for help, everytime a problem was solved I got another one
got stuck here http://www.e-miel.net/wp-uploads/e-miel.net/2012/06/deleteme1.jpg
placed a sata driver as some people on youtube did, went to the next step and got this message:

Exept I have 3 "disk 0" and my HDD is the 3rd

my computer is a Dell laptop vostro 3750 from 2011 bought with windows 7.

And I think I should just try to delete files and act like nothing happened

Ok first and foremost windows will not even see an ext3 or ext4 drive (that is what Linux is formatted to). So if you had 3 drives, the 2 of them formatted to Linux are not going to show at all.

The error message could be because 20gb is not even enough to install windows

In the windows install portion, the only drivers you should load is if you need to install AHCI or RAID drivers.

If you did not wipe it off the drive accidently the dell laptop should have a recovery partition that will wipe the drive and revert it back to how it was from the factory. Here is some instructions I found (it is not model specific though): http://www.ehow.com/how_8323658_reboot-vostro-laptop-factory-settings.html

No offence but I really don't understand what you want me to do(note: i'm shit with computers), since I had the first problem I spend 2 complete days and I just want to delete manually everything I don't need absolutely, if you try to help me reinstal I will just waste your time
