• Installation of Windows XP on TecraS3 with a 320 GB SATA hard drive

  Hallo,
  during the installation of Windows XP on a Tecra S3-SATA hard drive is not discovered.

  Details:
  Laptop: Toshiba Tecra S3, model PTS30E
  Hard drive: Toshiba MK3252GSX 320 S - ATA
  Driver used: raid-drv - 20071023162302.zip (from Toshiba)
  Toshiba-support document: TSB001272

  For the installation of Windows I used correspondent support-Toshiba-document 'TSB001272' the external driver for SATA. The disk with the driver is used for installation, but the hard drive is still unknown.

  PS: The Linux Suse 10.2 installation runs without problem.

  Question: Who knows the good driver for Windows XP? Thank you.

  Manfred Alpers

  Hey buddy the RAID driver can be found on the Toshiba driver page.
  Use this driver as part of the tool called nLite. You can create a new XP CD and could include the RAID driver using this free tool.

  I did this procedure several times and it still worked!

• Installation of Windows 7 spans two completely separte not partitioned hard disk. How moving to a disk?

  I have two separate completely from the hard drive. It is 288 GB and the other news is 1 TB.  When I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, for some reason any, it has partially installed on both drives at the same time.  I tried to reformat the hard drive of 288 GB, but can only a part of the Windows installation on this disk! How can question, I put it completely on a hard drive in Windows 7?  I know what is happening, because when I unplug a hdd, leaving a connected, it does not start upward because he needs a startup disc.  Other, similarly, said that the part of the windows installation is not available because there was a change of hard disk.  So, how I move everything that is on one of the disks to consolidate in the first hard drive?

  I unplug the 1 TB hard drive, then try to install the disk of 288 GB. Then you can attach the 1 TB of disk after installation.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Installation of Windows 7 can't find my hard/Patition drive where XP is installed

  My nephew is trying to run the windows 7 installation of Windows XP and and after having chosen the option (Advanced) Cutom & as it gets to the screen where it asks you to choose where to install windows 7 it says "no HDD found" found in the dialog box, and there are no partitions to the choice.

  It gives him an option to load a driver to install a hard drive, but that doesn't seem the way forward, how do we get setup find hard drive?

  We need to create a new partition if it gives this option?

  Hi BrianRinSD,

  Unfortunately, a CD-ROM on its own will not play a DVD you need a DVD - ROM drive.

  Your DVD-ROM USB should be able to work "If" you have the ability to boot from a USB key. You will need to check the manual of your PC to see if this option is available, it means that you have to press F2 or something similar to starting up usually get a boot menu. By the way, this is not the same as pressing F8 to enter safe mode.

  My apologies for the delay in responding but I'm in the United Kingdom, where the time difference. It is currently 01:00 here.

• came loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. Recently, I reformatted the hard drive and did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional. I have no games. No solitaire, Minesweeper, no nothing.

  original title: lack of games
  I have an Acer Aspire PC. It came loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. Recently, I reformatted the hard drive and did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional.

  I have no games. No solitaire, Minesweeper, no nothing.
  How can I, without seeking to erase and reinstall again?

  To activate the built-in Windows 7 games:

  1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

  2. click on programs and features.

  3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

  4. find the entry called games & check the box next to it.

  5. click on OK.

  6 reset.

  If the games box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

• Installation of Windows XP on a second disk hard SATA and booting from it.

  History:
  I have a two year old computer and it becomes slow to start.  Its a P4 dual core 2.8GHz with 3 GB of RAM and a hard drive SATA 320 G, that left only 60 GB.  I tried to uncheck all unnecessary items at startup using msconfig, but its still quite slow.

  Proposed solution:
  I bought a new HDD SATA of 500G and I thought performing a new installation of Windows XP on the new drive and boot from that.  I want to leave the old disk, as is if I can still access the programs and files that I have on this subject. That said, I will migrate probably all programs and regularly used files on the old drive on a new and let all my media files on the former.  I don't want to copy all just above (picture disc) because it will bring all the junk with her.

  I backed up my important data to an external drive.

  Issues related to the:
  Is there a problem to have windows XP on both drives?  Will I need to do anything to access my old programs on the start menu in a "new window" - what do I have to reinstall or can I just copy them into folder "program files" the new windows?  What is a reasonable way to speed up my machine?

  Thank you very much for your answers.

  You want to move the old SATA disk to controller 1 (although leave of you for now disconnect) and put the new drive on controller 0 and then install XP. Then set the old drive to the secondary SATA controller. You will need to install programs on the new drive; You may not copy or use the old disk. To stay in compliance with the EULA and activate the new XP successfully, you need to remove the old XP and just use the old disk to store data. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• I want to upgrade Windows XP to 7. If I have all my files copy on a second partition on hard drive, they will remain intact during an installation of Windows 7?

  I want to upgrade XP to 7. My machine got a C: and an onboard hard drive D:. (as well as a lot of CPU power) If I move all critical files on my D: drive, if they are not disturbed during installation of Windows 7 or what must I drag in a remote entity prior to completing the upgrade?

  Also, I have to run 32 bit on my unit which is an installation option?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I suggest you to move all of the critical files the D drive that won't cause any disruption during installation of Windows 7, so the installation would take on the C: drive

Initially I had window on my main hard drive, but that is old and broken so I who throw in the trash, and my secondary hard drive (Seagate Barracuda 7200.12) now will be my main for this installation of Windows vista x 64.

  I've never had this problem before. so I went into the bios when booting and bios, I see this window is grateful for my hard drive, but for some reason, it does not show when I do installation...
  Help, please...
  Thanks in advance

• new hard drive - what is the difference in performance between the new installation of Windows 7 or a clone of old hard drive?

  I get a new hard Hard Drive (SSD).  The new disc is the same size as my existing SATA drive.  I can do either a new

  the installation of Windows 7 or a clone old hard drive?  I would prefer to clone the old hard drive and keep all my settings, etc.   It's empirical data on the performance difference between a new installation of Windows 7 or to continue with the Windows 7 which was 3 or 4 years ago.

  I know the conventional wisdom is that the new installation is faster, but, no matter who actually tested and compared the differences?  I know I'll get better performance of the SSD the SATA drive, but I don't know if it's worth the hassle to do a fresh install and redo all my programs and settings.

  Others that the performance of the SSD you should not see any differences.  If you do, you can always do a clean installation later.

• How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?

  How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?  I have already reinstalled Windows 7 from the CD, but that has not solved my problems.  When I put the factory CD in my CD player, it won't always boot from the CD.  When I put my Windows 7 Ultimate CD in the CD drive, it doesn't always start from the CD.         I realize that the reformatting is not always necessary, but I caught a few viruses (despite anti-virus running) and I need to start with a clean hard drive.

  You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
  first push.

  How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
  motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
  BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
  the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
  for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
  There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
  your system documentation or check with your provider.

• used space on the hard drive is much more than space unused theres 40 GB in the installations of windows preivus! Should / can I clean it as I just 17% left free space left

  or if not what your addvice please!  ;-)

  or if no what is your opinion please!  ;-)

  Not enough information really.
   
  What - what are you trying to do?
  What is this "40 GB in the previous installations of windows" do you speak?
  Can you be more precise all around?
   
  17% of how much?  After all, if I have 17% free on a system, which could be > 600 GB with a single physical hard disk and a single partition.
