Boot Windows XP on old HP XE813 problem

Hello. I just got a HP XE813 of my friend who doesn't have a working disk drive. It has a hard drive, I put in with Windows XP, but it does not start. This last thing it loads successfully is "Mup.sys" in safemode, then it freezes and restarts. Is there a way to fix this?

BHK6,

The original hard drive does not work. The poster just happened to have an old XP OS disk laying around. The original unit was Win98Windows Millennium Edition Microsoft. Full specifications are here. Not sure why anyone would use it with XP. (See RAM limited).

  • New dual-boot Windows 8.0 GUI disappeared and replaced by text menu after installing 8.0 and 8.1 update

    I upgraded my windows xp windows 8.0 and my windows 7 to windows 8.1 for a dual-boot environment. I use the BCDEDIT program. I have not had any problems when starting the GUI OF WINDOWS 8 menu during my first INSTALLATION of Windows 8. But after the second time that I started from a cold start it failed back to the old version of the text of the dual-boot menu from the old windows xp and 7. I tried several times to restore the boot mgr to GET BACK THE WINDOWS 8 GUI, but I can't seem to pinpoint the root cause of remedy that could bypass the default TEXT VERSION STYLE. I really like the interface of Windows 8. Do not forget that I am not having problems with starting in the OS of my choice - just the BOOTMENUPOLICY. Here is where I have to solve the new to the old command. Furthermore the program Bcdedit must be installed in the two operating systems? And during the original installation of Windows 7 operating system allocates a 100 MB boot. I can't delete or remove from my disk manager. Just a few other tidbits to ponder any help, I would be grateful.

    Thank you

  • Dual Boot windows Linux 8.1 on Pavilion 17-e157eo

    Will there be a completely safe way for a dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Linux on a Pavilion 17-e157eo?

    I searched the dualboot topics, but solutions do not seem to apply in this case.  Secure boot has been disabled. Quick start has been disabled. In this PC disk partitions are not dynamic but simple.

    Starting from a Live Linux DVD results in a blank screen even if the DVD player is clearly read something.  Is the problem due to the fact that this PC has the INTEL 4600 graphics chip and an AMD Radeon 8670 M?

    A better solution would be to use VMware or VirtualBox, set up a Linux guest operating system, the host system is of course Windows 8.1?

    No problem, glad I could help. If you could mark one of my posts with an acceptable Solution and congratulations if this information was useful, it would be much appreciated and it would be useful to other institutions. Thank you and have a great day!

  • Re: Tecra S11 - Dual boot Windows 7 and XP

    I installed Windows 7 (from the hidden to the hardrive recovery section) on my new Tecra S11. I would like to know if I can use the Windows XP
    recovery media provided by Toshiba to create a dual boot Windows 7/Windows XP rather than go back to XP?

    Hi dualboot.

    As far as I know it of not possible to create a dual boot with XP and Windows 7 Toshiba Recovery disk. The problem is that the recovery disk erases the entire HARD disk, so there is no option to create a dual boot with another operating system.

    If you want XP too you need to a normal XP installation disk Microsoft or you use virtualization of Windows 7 XP mode, if some n t applications run on Windows 7. ;)

  • Home PC will not boot Windows Vista after updating sound card drivers.

    Okay, so I built a brand new pc last night. A worked like a charm, perfectly executed and all. Installed a new sound card, opened it and a few minutes put in my computer, install the drivers and had it works perfectly. Windows loaded perfectly, no problem at all anywhere. Then I'll update the drivers for the sound card, a large download but he finished. He was trying to install the drivers, then while he was, I've been on google chrome on facebook and then randomly, I lost the internet connection. My receiver wifi for my computer was fine and turned on and running great, but for some reason any my computer does not pick up a signal even if all my other devices don't. When the drivers have been installed and the updates are finished, I rebooted my computer.

    Problems from there. I turned the computer back and tried to boot windows, but computer science got to the vista loading screen and then resets. He made several times. So I tried to boot into the last known good configuration. I spent the loading screen, then a flashed blue screen with a bunch of words and he said something along the lines of "Windows has encountered an error", but disappeared in literally one second about. Then the computer shuts down. Since then whenever I try to start in windows, I don't yet get to the loading screen, any choice I use to try to start in windows, no work. When I choose one my computer just is a black screen. It loads the bios very well and everything works great but the OS is the question.

    Any suggestions?

  • Windows 7 laptop. I have problems with my cursor. When I type, it jumps and anywhere else except where I type moves.

    Hello:

    I am pleased to say that I have really only one problem left to solve.  I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 with Windows 7.  I started having this problem immediately about two or three weeks after the purchase of this computer.  I have problems with my cursor.  A Laptop store owner who corrects laptops told me ' you type you're probably hit a key that throws the slider out where you type and be aware of this.  I really don't think that.

    Is that the problem is that whenever I type just arbitrarily the cursor jump to other sections of my screen where I previously typed something.  It's very frustrating.  Can you really fix that because a tech support person told me that "which cannot really be fixed with someone to take control of your computer, or there is a problem with the keyboard".  That's what he says.  "It could be a problem with the keyboard" and he concluded that it might have to be taken in a store or (sent to DELL (and I say no, no, no (Amy Whinehouse)).)  A lot of smiles.

    But in any case this problem can be corrected as any other problem?  I hate it when this cursor jumps around on the screen to the typed sections previously.  It does not have it on my desk.

    Please let me know.

    Hello

    1. the problem occurs with any particular application or all applications?
    2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    Method 1

    b. double-click the icon named "Mouse"... The "Mouse properties" window opens. Go to the tab "device settings". Click on the button "settings". A window titled "Properties" appears.

    c. examine the left panel of the 'Properties' window and expand the option "sensitivity." Click on the option "Sensitivity to touch."

    d. reduce tactile sensitivity in moving the slider to the right, to the label of "heavy touch. Experiment with different levels of sensitivity until find you one suited to your needs.

  • Windows 8 start "repair automatic Loop" problem - tried many Solutions, no disc.

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavillion desktop, about 3 months with 8 64-bit pre installed Windows (no separate disk). I, like apparently many others here and on the wider internet experienced the 'loop auto repair problem' and after reading and application of solutions kindly posted by various people, I'm still stuck with this problem.

    I'm not a person of computer savvy, so if anyone here can give kindly help I would appreciate it fully.

    This happened earlier today, and the problem had arisen once before, but I was able to perform a refresh of the system and while I didn't lose my apps could keep the data. Now, the system update States "there was a problem of your PC Refresh. Has been no change. "

    I only want to do a factory reset the absolute last resort, I wasn't enough smart to foresee such a disaster I don't run no back ups of my files. Although I'm afraid that this problem would arise again.

    To get to the repair window. I get the C:\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt log file

    (Trying to open the SrtTrail file results in a system of dialogue window saying "cannot find srttrail.txt, make a new"

    • I tried the solution "bcdedit" (in spite of not having a separate disk) 'The operation completed successfully', but to no avail.
    • I can't access the SafeMode (will the said fair boot settings restart, which charge the same screen once again)
    • Running chkdsk in CMD prompt, forces me to force a disassembly, I want to touch it because I do not understand and could break something...
    • Change the priorities of the Bios gives an error message at startup (Boot device") not found, then it reverts to the"Windows Boot Manager ".

    So my main questions are

    • Is it possible to fix this problem, which can be done internally (except for factory reset and no third-party program part). I have an external hard drive if I can somehow extract the files.
    • If there is a real difficulty in a situation similar to my problem and the situation) that has been said before (but I missed it somewhere) I couldn't link?
    • If I perform a factory reset, I want to keep all my data, is it possible that I can do?

    If I need to display data, please advise and I will try my best.

    It teaches me a lesson to never do anything about computers without backup.

    Automatic thanks for any assistance, anyone is able to give me.
