2 XP Pro on a single hard drive

My original XP did not so I did a re install. Now I have 2 XP programs on the same hard disk. When I boot I get a black screen and a choice of what XP Pro to choose. Only problem, the top is highlighted and the cursor up/down keys will not work. It expires and will in XP, but when you try to click the icon/s to open a program without response, in the same panel, no response. So I click on start, click stop to the bottom and click on restart. Then I get the black screen then can move the selection highlight and go into the second XP and then I can click on the icons and they work. My question is, how do I remove the last installation so I did only one program XP Pro?

Hello

I suggest that you save all the data and do a clean install correctly, removing install it XP you have now during this process

  • In disk management, it shows only a single hard drive and it's C, but it lists the size than what my old drive was that I took out

    I got a new hard drive in my computer and the old a subscribed.  I then had to reinstall Windows XP Pro.  In disk management, it shows only a single hard drive and it's C, but it lists the size than what my old drive was that I took out.  The new shows of unallocated hard disk without a drive letter and has a black bar above it. How do I show my new hard drive that is 1 TB instead of one that was a 250 GB is not yet in my computer.

    Hi Reta,

    ·         The drive appears like 250 GB even if it's a terabyte?

    ·         Is the remaining 750Go showing as unallocated disk space?

    If this is the case, you can refer to this article on how to use disk management in Windows XP:

  • RAID configuration on a single hard drive?

    Hello

    Is it possible to configure the RAID in a single hard drive.

    The RAID is not just about redundancy. In the case of mirror RAID is. But, in the case of the RAID stripe, it's performance. There are other RAID types too if you feel like Googling them, but I can assure that they all involve at least two physical disks. However, many RAID controllers that support stripe and mirror (RAID 0 and 1).

    You cannot create a RAID with a single physical disk, even if you create more than one partition on it.

  • Raid PowerEdge r.620 with single hard drive controller

    Hi all

    I have Dell PowerEdge r.620 with 1 * 1 TB hard drive, Raid Controller using mini H710... When I try to install Win Server 2008/R2 x 64 the HDD is not detecting, I've read in this forum of the disc cause hard does not detect is pilot raid is not installed, but I don't have that single hard drive is possible to set up raid with single hard drive or I don't have to use raid controller but I still don't understand how to set up the server with no raid...

    Thank you...

    Dimm21
    Sorry for the late reply, do you mean raid controller in the server? If you want to say, I always do not install driver coz is new server than i've got...

    I want to know, if posibble install raid on one hard drive and how to configure who... Server raid controller is mini H710

    Thanks for your response

    Yes, the RAID controller.  One you have?  I'll assume a PERC H710 for now:

    The H710 PERC is NOT compatible non-RAID (you cannot use a single disk without RAID)... in order to use a hard drive, you MUST configure a single drive RAID 0.  This must be done in the RAID controller BIOS utility, accessed by pressing CTRL-R during POST when prompted.

    Once configured, you need TO load the driver for the operating system, see the drives connected to the controller.

    If you have a H310, it SUPPORTS no RAID, so you do not have to configure anything in the RAID controller BIOS, HOWEVER, you MUST always load the RAID controller driver during installation.

  • A single hard drive will not be shared on network. All other players share very well.

    A single hard drive will not be shared on network.  All other players share very well.  Don't have a homegroup installation because I also have XP machines.  The drive is on a windows machine 7.   I checked all the settings.  Of course, all the machines are on the same workgroup.  It's just 1 road.  The other 5 on this computer share very well.

  • MacBook Pro upgrade to SSD HARD drive

    I own a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) with 500 GB HARD drive and want to update on the HARD drive. I want it to start as a new laptop after recovery. I don't want to back up my data.

    So, if I insert my new Samsung 850 EVO (250GB) replace my mac HARD drive, I'll be able to install OS X on the new disk hard Internet of recovery?

    Yes from the internet recovery (option command R), you can access the disk utility to format the new hard drive.  Recovery of the Internet will offer the OS X that originally shipped with your Mac from 2012. You then spend here.

    The options are to make a bootable installation before hand.

  • Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

    I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

    In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
    I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

    I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

    > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
    Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
    If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

    You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
    In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

    Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

    Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.

  • Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

    Hi all

    I need assistance with Windows.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
    I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

    So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
    I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
    Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

    Thank you for your help
    Julie

    As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
    I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

    To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

    When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

  • Satellite Pro U400-153 - replacement HARD drive

    Hello

    I need help with a new hard drive for the Satellite U400-153. My wife and I have a laptop (canada) U300 as well with a hard drive of 160 GB and a laptop U400-153 (europe) with a 120 GB HARD drive. I wanted to put the larger HARD drive in the U400 but the screws that hold the HARD drive in the laptop are closer together on the 160 GB HARD drive as this 120 GB HARD drive and so I can plug the HARD drive, but I can't replace the casing on the bottom of the laptop. I want to upgrade and put in a new HARD drive, but I can't seem to find any info on weither all readers will be the right size. will be the screws on this form? How will I know

    MK3265GSX Toshiba 320 GB 2.5 "hard drive SATAII 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache - OEM

    Does it matter what company it comes? I thought I got it was weird that the Satellite U300 would not transfer more easily.

    If anyone has any ideas please let me know...

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Theoretically, you can install each HARD drive with SATA 2.5 form factor interface in Satellite Pro U400.

    If you install a new HARD drive in Satellite Pro U400, you must use the old disk cover/case HARD to install.
    I put t know what you mean exactly with that, but maybe you can upload a photo to make it clearer.

    Finally and above all it doesn t matter what company it comes. You can use a Toshiba or another company HARD disk too like Western Digital, Seagate, etc..

  • Satellite Pro P100 - replacing the HARD drive internal

    I have a Satellite Pro P100 with a concert of 60 internal HDD and would like to replace this with a 250 or 320 GB drive.

    Anyone can suggest a way to imagery of the current drive and copy this back to the new drive without having to re - install the operating system and other installed software?

    I have a couple of USB 2.0 external drives with sufficient capacity.

    Hello

    You first need to know if the more drive HARD 250 GB or 320 GB would be compatible and if the BIOS recognize this HARD drive without major worries!
    The problem is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported by the BIOS.
    Then all first check if the new HARD drive are supported!

    You ask how to get all the files on the new disk? I recommend good reinstall the OS from the recovery CD. It would be to reinstall the OS, drivers, tools, utilities.
    If you have other files such as mp3, etc it then backup to the external USB HDD.
    Then you could connect this HARD drive to the laptop and could transfer it on the internal HARD disk.

  • EliteBook 8460p: loading Windows 7 Pro on a new Hard Drive

    In a previous question, I said that I bought this laptop from a sales site to the auction and needed to put an OS on another hard drive because this laptop did not come with one.  I think the laptop is a laptop company because when I entered the serial number came with the operating system in business, but when I look under the battey product key it says Windows 7 Pro.  I don't for the recovery disc for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, because that's what says the key.  Will I have problems if I try and do a clean install?  It is that I got a 250 GB drive of my broken hp mini that I jumped in the Elitebook and it started right up to WIN 10 - this is the BONE of my mini was running before he fell.  Then, I checked the WIN 10 is not triggered and I couldn't be active even with the broken mini product key. To make a long story short when I use the recovery disk to do a clean install, which I intend to do, the recovery disc will read the product key for the company (because I don't have that) or I'll be able to use the product key numbers which can be found on the label.  Thanks in advance for reading this and for taking the time to answer.

    Hello:

    W7 Pro recovery disks, you ordered from HP for your laptop do not need a product key and will be automatically enabled after the installation of the software.

    You can do a clean install without problem.

    Windows will not turn on without a new product key when you put a hard drive on a PC and put it in another.

    In other words, for W10 have enabled on your p 8460, you would have had a W10 product key that you do not.  The button upgrade W10 does not work from another PC has been updated to W10 using this key.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 and new hard drive

    Hello

    I saw on another post that L0nestar has installed a Western Digital WD2500BEVE (250 GB, 5400 RPM) in a Pro 2100.
    The question I have is what the interface is SATA or EIDE? The original drive indicates it is a SATA interface, but the WD2500BEVE is an EIDE interface?

    Hope someone can clear this up for me.

    See you soon.

    AFAIK all older models of laptops have hard drives with interface EIDE. Satellite Pro 2100 comes with disk HARD Enhanced IDE (ATA-5).
