Activation XP with external hard drive?

I don't know where to post this question.

I have many PXI-8196 systems in the field which boot from an external SCSI drive (for security reasons). I've configured initially them by creating a disk image of the internal HD (with XP already installed) on the SCSI disk and then removing the internal disks. Now, we want to upgrade the processors with the PXI-8108 s, without losing any settings/files currently on SCSI drives.

When I pass a PXI-8196 with a PXI-8108 and have it boot from the SCSI, it recognizes of course XP runs on different hardward and pushes me to activate Windows.  All fail to perform the activation of MS because MS does not recognize the installation ID. My understanding is that this is because that NEITHER (an OEM) manages XP license differently, somehow involving a code written in the BIOS.

Short of having to save all the files from the user to the SCSI, create a new image (from internal HD of the 8108) on SCSI and then reinstall all applications on the SCSI, is there another way to accomplish what I'm doing?

Peter,

Thanks for the reply.

Your response prompted me to check a few more things and I was finally able to make it work.  The 8108 is came with a Vista product key code (even if we bought with XP), who did not work for XP on the SCSI boot disk, if I had tried to use the product key, I read (using a utility of the decryption key) on the factory installed 8108 HD, but that no longer works. I found that all my boxes PXI (8187, 8196 and 8108) report the same product key to decryption utility, so I thought it must be a problem.  When I used a XP product key on the label of the chassis, which worked and allowed me to register.

All is well now.

Thank you

Ken

  • Problem with external hard drive (an unexpected error - 50)

    I've had this problem for a few months now. Sometimes, I can't delete a file from my external hard drive, or export a file to it. The process is impossible, and I get a message "Cannot perform the action due to an unexpected error - 50". Ejecting the disc gives the message "eject impossible because another program can use it." Ejection force becomes the only option. After re-login, the problem goes away, like nothing ever happened.

    The question is not constant, but quite common to become a nuisance, the one I want stopped.

    That's what I think it is (a bad connection with the cable, defective contact), or is this a virus? I need to know.

    The hard drive is 1 TB Toshiba Canvio Basics and is formatted as Mac OS extended (Journalized).

    not a virus, and not only because there is no virus mac at this time.

    negative errors on the discs can be a signal indicating that the file is corrupted or worse still, the drive is failing. While it can also be a problem with the cable or the connector that it commonly goes back on the disc itself.

    Currently, it is recommended that you backup your data if a backup fails, you may need to save what you can manually and sometimes that means go to this folder by folder or file by file

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

    All HARD drives (and SSD') eventually fail and while this isn't a your statement you should check the drive with disk utility (Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) after you got what you possibly can off and consider replacing the disk with a new one.

  • Problem with external hard drive 500 Gb Stor.e Steel

    Hello

    I ve bought a Store.e steel 500 GB external hard drive and I can't get large files (such as 4 GB) it wit. There is a message that says that the file is bigger that the system supports whenever I try to get a file of 4 GB, but I have 300 GB of free.

    I agree with user Stephen.
    The file format of HARD drive seems to be FAT32, you must format the HARD disk to NTFS to be able to manage files over 4 GB.

  • E3000 displays "USB is not supported" error with external hard drive

    I have the E3000 router and recently bought a USB WD (Western Digital) 2 TB external hard drive.  I plug the HDD on the router, open the home page of the router (http://192.168.1.1/) then click on storage > disk and I get an error of "the USB is connected is not supported"-suggestions on how to solve this problem?

  • Start with external hard drive problem

    I recently bought a Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive. When it is connected through the USB port my Pavilion a815n Windows XP hangs on the blue HP screen at startup. Western Digital technical support Advisor info sent to me I need to change a setting in BIOS but I can't find the trunk of USB device option setting in the BIOS of HP.  Can you tell me how to access this setting, or what else to do to solve the problem?  Thank you!  Jake

    Problem:
    After connecting a device USB to the PC, the computer does not start in Windows.

    Cause:
    The motherboard has a boot from the USB device, or a similar option, which is enabled in the system BIOS.

    Solution:
    In the system BIOS, disable the option to boot from the USB device and the USB Legacy Support option. This will allow the PC complete the process on the internal hard disk and allow you to enter Windows. If this does not work for any reason, you should boot your PC before connecting the USB key. Once the computer is fully booted Windows, plug the USB and wait for the operating system to detect the drive.

    Update the BIOS seems to have solve the problem. It was normally restarted with the attached hard drive.  Thank you!!  Jake

    I use an external hard drive Seagate for my photos and I have been use for more than a year, today when I used it, my windows 7 laptop not recognize it so I couldn't see the files but I knew that it worked as I could hear, I then plugged in a computer laptop windows 8 and it's the same thing. I used another cable, still nothing has changed. Could someone tell me how to solve this problem that I don't have a return to the top of the images.

    Hello

    This is a problem because it is not recognized by Windows 7 or Windows 8 machines.

    I would try it on a 3rd machine, such as pointing to something to go wrong with this Seagate HD.

    And hearing that HD is not a good sign either.

    This problem has been resolved.

    Right-click all methods have not access external external hard drives and flash drives.

    Sharing, permissions, ownership, administrative changes, all method all failed.

    This problem has been resolved by higher HP product support.  Other levels of support were not able to diagnose the problem or fix.

    The problem has been resolved by:

    (1) determine that he was not a NTFS problem

    (2) using the msconfig to isolate a single service

    When the unique service has been disabled the files on any external drives have been available.

    The service of the problem was the HP Client Security.

    This HP Client Security in its default value is set to deny access.

    Then right-click on the drive and change the permissions, ownership, to administrators, using everyone etc. will fail because they are all trumped by the HP Client Security that is set by default to deny access.

    When that client security is changed the drives become available.  It is not information about this when using the computer and this can be learned by trial and error.

    I hope this helps all those who have z book 17 mobile workstations or HP computers that are equipped with client security.

  • Seagate external hard drive / / no display

    Recently I bought a Portable Seagate 2 TB external hard drive for my MacBook Air. I put all my movies, music, ext documents on my hard drive with my important homework. The reason why I did was reset my mac, then return all my old documents, photos ext, back to their place of origin. I have managed to do and frees a lot of space. A few days after my MacBook fell asleep with a connected external hard drive and now the hard drive is no longer present on the desktop or in finder. I am able to find in my "disk utility" , but for some reason, it shows the hard drive passed out faded gray and full? I tried to hook up with different cables and on the various devices as well. Also sang the first aid option in "disk utility" with no other results. I have contacted apple support and found out it was the external hard drive with the problem, so they couldn't help me. They then redirected me to Seagate Support, and I had already tried the methods they gave me (see list above). I was wondering if anyone here on communities of Apple has experienced the same problem as me, it would be that much appreciated advice you may have. I have important files that I need to recover.

    Help, please!

    Had a similar problem with external hard drive WD also on model MBA early 2015. Found if I disconnect the external hard drive restart MBA and then reconnect the external hard drive it was working normally again.

    This problem has been resolved in collaboration with support of higher HP for Z book 17 mobile workstation.

    Steps:

    (1) determines that it is not NTFS problem

    (2) using the MSCONFIG the problem has been isolated to a single service

    When this service has been disabled and after reboot, the problem of access to the files is resolved.

    Results: HP had installed software on the HP Z book 17 laptop or mobile workstation which, by default, block communication with external hard drives and flash drives external.

    This HP Client Security software replaces or blocks all right click changes settings become apparent.  It blocks the change of ownership.  It blocks the administrator privileges.  It blocks all is used.

    The HP Client Security software has been changed and changed to deny privileges (default setting) to allow the communication with external drives.  When you go into the setting for this software, it is now a humming noise and maybe I need to download the drivers and software again to see if this problem is also corrected.

    Thanks for your comments.  I spent a lot of time on this and didn't understand why all right-click methods had failed.  The default software setting HP deny had trumped right click all changes.
