  Hello, so I performed a reset that restore my computer to factory settings, I have chosen to erase all files. I've done this before, and everything went well. What was going on, it was my disc useage was at 100% a lot and that something was wrong with my computer then I factory reset it. While the factory reset is 44% in "resetting your computer" and the next thing I knew I had 2 options, stop or start with advanced options. Well, I chose to stop it, 5 minutes later, I turned it back on and I ran a SMART check has no that was the ID # 9367LW-86J89N-MFPX7G-60BR3 followed by the product id that is shown above. He said that when I start to Boot Device not found, please install an operating system on your hard drive. Followed by the hard drive (3FO), I can only click f2 and it gives me the link to visit the Help Center. The computer saying that it did not have an operating system was not the first alert, that I had, it was something else saying there was an error of hard disk which then became not having not not an operting system. I tried to go to f11 and go in this way, but regardless of what it always comes back to the screen that shows the found boot device, please install an operating system. Help, please! Thank you. in advance.

• How to install two operating systems on a single computer

  How to install two operating systems on a single computer, xp and windows 7... ?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  For the installation of two Windows OS (called Dual Boot), you first determine what exactly the BONES. Based on this, you can proceed to install the oldest operating system first, then installing the latest OS. Here, in your case, Windows XP first and then Windows 7.
  If you change the order, the latest version of Windows will not work correctly.
  In addition, you can use Virtual PC or VMware to use Windows XP in Windows 7. Windows XP Mode is another version of Microsoft which allows you to use Windows XP in Windows 7 through Virtual PC. You can download Windows XP Mode from here:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/Download.aspx
  To install Windows XP Mode, you must have Windows 7 Professional or higher, with hardware virtualization enabled in your PC (you should check in the BIOS of your PC). If you prefer Windows XP Mode, you don't have to install Windows XP in the above mentioned way. It installs like any other program on Windows 7.
  Note that if you have Windows 7 Edition Home Premium or lower edition, you can try Windows XP using Virtual PC/VMware or dual-boot.

• can I install an operating system on my ram?

  I went through a lot of posts on how to do that, people just give fancy words in huge paragraphs, that's the only problem I have not been able to address, I mean, Ive got a lot of things in my pc just by reading a few posts. but this, increasing the operating speed of my pc by like 1000% is too hard to resist, but I've never met a detailed procedure. It would be great if I get a link to a video that comes of showing me how to do the same thing, a break step by step what to do also would suffice.

  Ask yourself, "Can I install an operating system on my ram?"

  Microsoft does not provide a way, or he takes it somehow, to install one of its operating systems to any volatile storage device. This includes RAM any form or configuration.

  For a moment, we suppose you could do: as soon as power was removed from the unit, all contents are lost. So, the installation will have to be repeated the next time you want to use the computer.

  See an overview of what makes setup in place. The Windows DVD is put in the DVD player and Setup copy a base to HD image and preparing it for use. Control passes to the newly created system and a detection phase begins which determines the hardware in the computer uses and assembles a special computer image on the hard drive. The system restarts and uses the custom image. (The actual process may require several reboots and download files from the Internet, if a connection is available). At the end of the installation, there are on the hard drive an image of the operating system working together customized for this computer. Whenever the computer starts, it loads its core working together. How much is loaded depends on the amount of RAM available. Manager windows memory must take into account / meet the requirements of the programs started and run as well as the background as networking, memory of the file transfers to the use of system and application, & c.

  Perhaps you would be worth considering the use of SSD devices or hybrid rather than or in addition to the HDs ordinary.

  Hi Bhaisona

   

  1. do you have a new or different XP pro drive?
  2. the new drive has a different product key for XP operating system installed on the desktop IBM?

   

  If the disc XP Professional nine and a key of different product, then you can install the computer with the Windows Vista operating system in a dual-boot configuration.

  Help... I upgrade from vista 32 bit version.

  Unfortunately, you can not claim to install an upgraded version of Windows Vista on a hard drive Virgin.  I suggest you consider buying from an edition of the "Full Version" of Windows 7, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.

• Installation of operating system on new HARD drive

  Is it possible to use the recovery CD to reinstall the operating system on a new drive or is the info stored on a partition on my original CD?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The use of the Toshiba Recovery CD will set the laptop back to the factory settings.
  The image of Toshiba which is placed on the restore CD contains all the drivers, tools, and utilities that were preinstall on the laptop.

  Don t worry. You can replace the HARD drive and then just boot from the recovery CD.
  This procedure will install the operating system and all the necessary applications and you will get the complete functional unit. ;)

• Can I install Windows 7 on an external hard drive and then put it back in the computer as a hard drive internal?

  Here's the situation, I reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop when it all of a sudden to stop. Now he cannot start Windows and only shows the Startup Repair tool. IM thinking if I can get my hard drive and put it in a hard drive enclosure and install windows in it as a hard drive external. And after installation, I will put the normal back on my laptop as a hard drive. Will this work?

  Furthermore, I can't boot any disk installation because the built-in DVD player does not work, also I can not change startup option because I can't access the BIOS, there the password and I do not know. Please someone help! :( Thank you!

  As a general rule, Microsoft allows not 'officially' most versions of Windows (9 x--> 7) to boot from an external hard drive.  However, there could be an exception to this rule.  eSATA pregnant use signals to 'SATA' HDD on an "external" port

• I want to install an operating system on a slave drive

  I we thant to install the same OS on my drive slave and stii have two readers and always use the master drive as I do have it now bult, so if something happens to the master drive, I can have a slave to continue to operate, given that I bought in a store computor and cannot get the disc to reinstall if the master crashes.i want to keep both drives in that now as I have programs on the slave, which helpes save space on the master drive.   Thank you

  Usually, what you try to do is accomplished using an 'image' - backup program like Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image that come with a bootable CD that allows you to capture an image of an operational system and then later restore that image even if your system or drive hard crash.  But if you are looking for a free method, you can clone an image of your operating system to another drive using CloneZilla.  Clonezilla can be used to make an exact copy of your current operating system drive.  Too many things to cover here, but you can do the work at home...
