  • How can I reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive?

    I strongly suspect failure of hard drive on my old computer XPS 420. Data recovery isn't a problem. However, because the way I too lazy to buy a whole new operating system, is possible that I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista on a new hard drive? I told me that Dell will send me an installation disc to do, but how to make a record like this, and is there another way?

    I'm thinking of ghosting the HDD on another and the use of the recovery for nuke partition in a new facility, but it would even work?

    Thank you

    The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

    You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

    Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

    Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.

    First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

    Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

    Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

    Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

    Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

    It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

    What is obtaining a disc from the Dell operating system Vista OEM [If Dell still copies of this available media], but you can be out of luck unless you have a warranty from Dell, but it's worth a try to see what is happening.

    If you reside in the United States, or the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with an active warranty, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

    Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.

    If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.

  • Possible to downgrade the operating system?

    Hello experts,

    My Macbook is a 13 "early 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.0). I have 6 GB of RAM (recently installed the last 2 GB).  Currently, the operating system is OS X 10.11.3.  I think that since this OS has been installed (a few months ago) the machine has slowed down considerably.  "Outputs page" is almost always up.  I re - often starts to get "page outs" to reset, but they will soon get back to the top.  Almost any process bothers me a lot of activity "beachball".  My main use for this computer uses iPhoto to show slide shows to various groups (I have not found that the Photos should be for various reasons).

    I know that this is considered a 'old' machine, but since it is my secondary computer I would not spend the money on a complete replacement.  Is it possible to go back to an earlier version of Mac OS X? That could accelerate or put less strain on, this Macbook?  If I could go back to 10.10 or 10.9 How would I do it?

    Thank you

    Your computer will be not a faster were no you downgrade OS X. There's nothing wrong with El Capitan. Page Outs increase because you don't have enough RAM and try to run too many processes simultaneously.

  • Satellite P100-324 - GPU overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system

    Hello world.

    While trying to solve the problem of RAM of 4 GB ([this thread | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28374&tstart=0]), I meet another weird thing - gpu overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system.

    Now, I restored the XP MCE using the Toshiba Recovery and I was VERY surprised to see that the problem still exists! As soon as loading the system GPU fan stops, and there is only tranquility. The application load is heavy on GPU and reaching 104 results by reducing its GPU and MEMORY clock values and NOT in the activation of the fan.

    The same thing happens in 64-bit gentoo. ACPI can be turned on or off, it is not serious, the GPU fan always dies as soon as the system load. In non-OS environments (bios, program of recovery, etc.) the fan works fine, GPU cooling from time to time.

    This problem occurs in versions of BIOS: 2.40, 4.00, 4.20.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, since this laptop is my main working tool and I can't let go 14 days (service).

    I saw in your other thread that you have updated the BIOS and you have installed several different OS.

    Fact is that the BIOS v 4.2 package contains BIOS 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
    Your laptop has been preloaded with Win XP MCE 32 bit. Please use the 32-bit BIOS if the original XP MCE running on the laptop.

  • 11 - k000na: problem of restart of the operating system after disk erasing

    Hi there are members of the HP support forum!

    I bought my product, the HP Pavillion 11-k000na, in October of last year and around in time to March this year, I found the speed of the computer to be really bad, so I decided that I do a disk cleanup and restore the computer to factory settings I've done. Restart the computer, I discovered that something has gone wrong and after many failed attempts I could not restart the operating system.

    Time and time again, the laptop gives me the same error - message

    Error code 0 xC0000001

    When I bought the computer it came installed with windows 8 and I've quickly updated to windows 10, would be the problem that when I restored it to factory settings, it does not know how to restart now?

    Any help would be really useful thanks!

    Hello

    On the upgrade of Windows 8 to 10, built in recovery partition got corrupted and will stop running more.

    How do you reset phone?

    Only I know is to order for your model of HP USB recovery. Or pure 8.1 Windows update install using Windows Media creation tool. Both methods retrieve product key of activation of the Board BIOS chip, automatically and be activated.

  • If I kill Winlogon.exe in an attempt to restart or stop a device could cause corupted becaome the operating system

    I was told that if I had to kill the Winlogon.exe in an attempt to restart or stop a device could cause the operating system to become corupted.

    I'm uaing a feature of windows 2000.

    Hello

    1. How did you kill? via the Task Manager?
    2. do you use the Windows 2000 operating system?

    The process "winlogon.exe" runs in the background. Winlogon is a part of the Windows login subsystem and is necessary for the user authorization and activation of Windows controls.

    Murder winlogon.exe can make your computer unable to open a session, but I doubt it would have damaged the operating system. It is necessary that you let Microsoft Programs and services run without interruption for the proper functioning of your computer.

    Note: The winlogon.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. In other cases, winlogon.exe is a virus, spyware, Trojan or worm.

    Hello

    System Restore puts your computer's settings to a date earlied.

    You mean that recovery of the system.

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

Now windows says that my code is already used. I'm ready to take pictures, show my keycode and do anything to get my system online. Vista is saying I need to activate within 3 days. Also, I have problems installing Service Pack 1. Which maybe has something to do with my questions? Please, someone help me!

    Pavilion dv7-4285.  I replace a hard disk totally dead! How can I get (free, cheap oe) replacement for operating system. I did not receive the disks of software of the retailer.

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
