Advice needed on the installation of an operating system for my laptop

I have a laptop which has 3 hard drives, my main 'C' drive Vista pre-installed and is almost full... I want to use the other 2 hard drives, local drive "D" and "F" of the data, how can I go about it?  Am I right in thinking that I must install an operating system on them, that is for Vista, and as it has been preloaded on my laptop, how do it on the other 2 drives?  I'm not at all in computing, and any advice would be welcome, because I really need to be able to make use of all this space!  As I have Vista already installed on my main drive and a product key (no), can be installed on the other 2?

Thank you.

If it won't let you follow the signs to extend your C: drive, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

See you soon.

    Hi, Gays

    I have hp dv6 7000 with 1 TB drive HARD Toshiba with 32 GB SSD as cache accererator. I tried to install windows 8, but I have trouble finding the drive in to choose in which partition should be installed. Have you had anyone a problem like that?

    I think I need a driver for it but I couldn't find anywhere, I samo conversations with people from hp Support, but without any result.

    Can someone help me?

    You must > driver Intel SATA. Extract the files to a folder using 7Zip or another utility. Copy the "Drivers" folder on a USB key. Boot with your dvd of Windows 8 and when you get to the stage where it must choose where you want to install Plug the USB (preferably in a USB 2.0 port, but I believe that Windows 8 has native support for USB 3.0 too) and load the driver from the folder.

    I turned to the forums and I saw that many, many people have the same problem with Vista SP2 Upgrade. Microsoft and several of its Vista customers realized that Vista has a lot of problems, but people who have need of the service. Being able to download and install the SP2 can make Vista more stable, but I get the same message mentioned above, and so I am sure are a lot of other people who are trying to get Service Pack 2 integrated into Vista.

    There is an available for installation of SP3 Cd

    Manually installing SP3 using the Microsoft Download Center or a CD

    If you have problems to receive the service pack from Windows Update, you can download SP3 as a standalone package from the Microsoft Download Center Web site, and then install SP3 manually. The installation package is intended for it professionals and developers, but you can always download and install this file.

    You can also order a CD from Microsoft containing SP3. For more information, go to the Microsoft site.

    To manually install SP3 using the standalone package installation or CD

    1. Do one of the following:

      • If you downloaded SP3 from the Web site, to install it immediately, click Open or run and follow the instructions on the screen. To install the program later, click on save and download the file to install it on your computer. When you are ready to install the service pack, double-click the file.

      • If you install SP3 from the Service Pack 3 CD, insert the disc into your computer with your current version of Windows XP running, and Software Update Installation Wizard should appear automatically. If this wizard does not appear, click Start, double-click my computer, click on your CD or DVD drive and then click AutoPlay.

    2. In Windows XP Service Pack 3 page, click Next.

    3. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen.

    4. Once the installation is complete, click Finish to restart your computer.

    I bought a presario cq43-412tu. all the operating system supports this laptop. ?

    Hello

    Do you not need to run all the operating systems on the machine? With the help of VMware or similar is the way to go, but with this card, you don't have much choice, you must upgrade first to 8 GB of RAM. It comes with FreeDOS, you need at least a host operating system in order to run the virtual machine.  At this point, Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate is the starting point.

    Good luck.

  • Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported?

    My computer is running Windows 7-64 bit. I have the latest softwear on my iPhone and my iPad. I installed edge inspect on these devices and have the advantage of Google Chrome to inspect the installed extension. I have enter my password strengthened for both devices in the Chrome extension. Why do I get the message that my operating system is not yet supported?

    It's VERY interesting... even if I got this weird message, once I connected my iPhone and my iPad to the extension of Google, it worked! See all what I automatically in Google Chrome displays in the application of edge inspect on small devices. It's clean! The only problem I see is that Adobe needs to replace the error message with information about the use of the application.
