Can - I always rebuild windows 98se?

My old Dell (98SE upgraded to XP) has been infected (in spite of NIS 2010) with fake AV malware that selectively prevents me to restore my system using my Acronis rescue diskettes.

If I have to reinstall from scratch, Microsoft still supports the automatic updates for Windows 98SE rebuilt? I think I need a 98SE SP2 or 3 to switch to XP.
Thank you.

  • Pavillion P7-1423w: failure of the motherboard - how can I retrieve the Windows license key?

    I bought a refurbished Pavilion p7-1423w a couple of years and a couple of weeks, it's totally dead.  It wouldn't boot on hard drive, CD, DVD, or USB, and I couldn't get into the BIOS.  It was toast.  Thinking that it was the motherboard, I bought as close to the same motherboard came with the computer as possible, hoping it would always start windows.  I replace the motherboard, and after several attempts, I got it to start on Windows.  But then I realized that Winodws was not enabled, so, apparently, that the Windows key has been changed somehow.

    My computer came with Windows 8 is installed, and I see that the keys are in the old motherboard BIOS, which is dead.  I tried to recover the old key from the hard drive in Windows.old, but not luck.

    HP can provide new keys for me since the death of the motherboard?  The product is no longer under warranty, so it seems that this will cost me $60 to call them.  Is this correct?

    Thank you

    Since that time my machine; while starting, is not always launch windows on the first attempt and must be stopped or started several times or remove the battery to get windows to activate.

    The dealer where I bought the machine did a clean reinstall.
    I did a memory diagnostic test and no reported problems.

    Also did a chkdisc who has not demonstrated that the reports.
    Also does disk cleanup.

    Is there a simple solution?

    Hello

    If the operating system has been installed once more and if this didn't solve the problem starting operating system, then I recommend you to check the HARD drive.

    Here is a nice tool called Drive Fitness Test that allows you to run some diagnostic procedures to find some problems with the HARD drive.
    Google for it

    Otherwise, I recommend that you install the operating system using the Toshiba recovery disc.
    Did you create this disc in the past? Isn't it?
    Well, here you can buy this CD:

  • Advanced Power Management under Windows 98SE for Satellite A75-S206?

    On my Satellite A75-S206, I have a partition on my hard drive under Windows 98SE.

    When I run Windows 98 on this model, the drive keeps spinning (does not turn down), the cooling fan is still running at high speed, I can't dim the monitor, or use any other feature of the advanced power management is available when running my XP partition. The utility of generic power in my Windows 98SE (Intel speed step) management does not address these problems, even if you use custom settings. The management utilities peak power supplied with recovery for this model CD only work on XP or Windows 2000, and these advanced power management utilities will not install on Windows 98.

    Is there a driver download, or is there software available for Windows 98SE downloads emulate advanced power management features that work on XP? Is there another workaround solution?

    Hello

    As far as I know, this unit was designed for the American market and came only with a XP Home and XP Pro OS.
    I checked the driver page Toshiba we and don t find all the drivers for Win98.
    Unfortunately, if you use the Win98, do without the features of Toshiba.
    Sorry, there is nothing to do.

  • Can not recover the Windows 7 desktop after replacing the hard drive

    I bought a new HP Pavillion Elite (HPE-240f) in August 2010. A week ago my hard drive has no SMART short self-test during systematic hardware diagnostics. I installed a new hard drive of the same size - 1 TB and could never make it work properly. I tried the following (in that order).

    1. using a system repair disc, I got the system from a previous image (which I did shortly after the purchase, install my own software and configuration of all). It worked, but then I noticed that Windows Update was not working. I ran various Microsoft diagnostic tools and discovered that some (unspecified) system files have been damaged or missing. All the fixes I tried didn't work. I ran hardware diagnostics extended, but no problem not found.

    2. I tried to restore the system to the default settings by using the original image on the D partition. At first it seemed to work, but at the last moment when the system started, I saw a message on the screen that Setup is starting services and then got a warning saying that services failed because of (unspecified) problems with hardware.

    3. I tried to restore the system from the system recovery discs and a message "system recovery disks do not support this computer."

    4. I found this Cyberlink utility on the HP website, dealing with precisely this issue. I created a CD tried and it didn't work.

    5. I found this document on the HP Web site, saying that if you are replacing a hard drive with sectors of 512 bytes with a new advanced Format (AF) drive (with areas of 4 096 bytes) and your system was manufactured before October 2010 (as mine was), you must get the new HP recovery disks. I thought I finally found the root of my problems (since the new drive is indeed AF and the old man is not) and ordered HP recovery discs.

    6. the disks arrived today, and I noticed that the version number of the software (for Windows 7 version) is almost the same as on the computer, except that the last digit is 9 on disks and 6 on the computer - I guess it's an update to deal with the problem hard drive AF. However, I get 'system recovery disks do not support this computer' error, if I use the utility from CyberLink recovery disks or not. To be on the safe side, I even used a new hard disc (new 1 TB) right out of the box (never partioned and installed previously) and connected the original keyboard supplied with the computer (I also unplugged everything except the monitor, keyboard and mouse). However, I get the same message. Just out of curiosity I tried to put back the original hard drive (certainly not in best shape, even if the system always starts with him) and still could not recover the system.

    What else can I try?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    An alternative to try. > If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key attached to the Tower, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD. The version must match that on the sticker COST Microsoft. for example Home Premium

     
  • How to make a disk image of work for my windows 98se boot (original is long dead)

    How to make a disk image of work for my windows 98se boot (original is long dead).  I have a copy of Windows 98SE bought new off the years of the plateau.  I now have a 64-bit system, so I can't run it natively, but I discovered that I can't even run at all, because I don't have a working bootable floppy!  I thought that the CD is bootable, when I used it a long time ago, but now it does not start if I have used the disk? Anyway, can I get a driver Microsoft w/CD install/bootable disk, or do I have another decent resource?
