Windows 7 Nobody responded to last post - can anyone help?

[n1kk1m]

I have corrupt entourage on my mac osx 10.6 mac. I assume I am running Windows 7. I bought the mac with MS Office installed and the shop sent me the Windows 7 Disk with the mac.

I have deleted entourage mail app from my applications and I would like to re-install.

When I try and update from the Windows 7 Disk it is telling me none of my disk partitions are suitable.

Question 1>
Do I need to re-install or update from Windows 7 disk to recover entourage or is there an easier way?!

I have created a back up of all files so I don't mind re-installing if necesarry, but can someone - anyone! please let me know what this disk partition mean and why i cannot install windows 7 to any of them

Do I need to delete all my Microsoft Office folders from Applications maybe? I am hesitant to do this just in case I cannot re-install then I have lost all my ms office applications.

PLEASE can someone offer any advice. I am not a techy but I am very good at troubleshooting problems through research - I have spent 2 days on this now and have not found any advice on how to deal with - surely reinstalling entourage mail app should not be this difficult!

Yours hopefully

It seems like there might be some confusion in your setup. Let's address your questions and see how we can help you resolve the issue:

Clarifications and Recommendations:​

1. Operating System and Entourage:
   • You mentioned having a corrupt Entourage on your Mac OSX 10.6 machine. Entourage is actually part of Microsoft Office for Mac, not Windows.
   • Therefore, it's unlikely that you would reinstall or update Entourage using a Windows 7 disk. This would typically be done through the Microsoft Office installation on your Mac.
   []Recovery Options:
   • To recover Entourage or repair Microsoft Office applications on your Mac, you should focus on the Mac OS X interface and software rather than trying to use a Windows 7 disk.
   • Reinstalling the Microsoft Office suite on your Mac is more likely to resolve issues related to programs like Entourage.

     Steps to Take:​

   []Reinstall Microsoft Office:
   • Locate your Microsoft Office installation disk or download the Office installer from the official source.
   • Uninstall Microsoft Office from your Mac, then reinstall it. This should restore applications like Entourage.
   []Backup Important Data:
   • Since you've mentioned creating backups, ensure your important files and data are safely stored before making any changes to your system.
   []Partition Issues:
   • The error about disk partitions not being suitable for Windows 7 installation is likely due to the fact that you are attempting to install Windows on a Mac system, which typically uses macOS.
   • Deleting Microsoft Office folders from your Mac's Applications folder won't resolve this Windows installation issue.

     Additional Tips:​

   • Search for Mac Troubleshooting Guides:
   • Look for guides specific to troubleshooting Microsoft Office or Entourage on Mac OS X 10.6. These resources can provide step-by-step instructions tailored to your system.
   • Consult Tech Support:
   • If you're still facing difficulties, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support or Apple Support for assistance with reinstalling Microsoft Office on your Mac. Taking these steps should help you resolve the issues with Entourage and Microsoft Office on your Mac.
