Install Windows on a new hard drive while maintaining the files on the old?
I have Windows 7 64-bit on my stock 500 GB hard drive. I have a 64 GB mSATA which I would like to do a clean install of Win7 on. Regarding the 500 gig HD, I would like to wipe and partition (it is loaded with bloatware and probably malware) but if possible, I like to keep a few photos and mp3s. I have to wipe everything, or can I just install Win7 and start-up of the SSD, then delete what I want on the other hard drive?
I suggest at the very least, you back up your personal folder in C:\Users\Your_AccountName on a hard drive external.
Proceed to install Windows 7 on SSD, reactivate so you keep the 500 GB attached as a slave drive and format it. You could even redirect your personal folders to it after formatting it.

How can I reinstall Windows on a new drive without starting from scratch?
I have XP installed on a FAT32 32 GB to a 160 GB HARD drive partition. I ran out of the room into the partition and want to delete the partition, wipe the drive and start over with him as a single partition NTFS drive. Is there a way to preserve XP installed by copying an image to another 160 GB drive installed in the machine, rather than starting from scratch? The same question would apply if I decide instead to upgrade to a larger HARD drive. Thank you.
Because the FAT32 and NTFS file systems are different, you will need boot from scratch and do a "clean install" Windows XP

Can we install windows vista 32 bit OS on a computer that is pre installed with windows 7 64-bit OS?
"ZainS" wrote in message News: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy * .com...@ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks
You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install. You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion. -
install windows on a new hard drive
Hi, my laptop has been commissioning so I bought a new hard drive and installed myself. The problem is that I don't have the recovery disks that came with it when we bought it. How can I install windows 7 or vista on the new hard drive.
If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.
How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
Click on drive Options
Select the disc/s click on Delete
Click new
Click on apply
Click OK
Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation
Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.
When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click the link x days before activation.
Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.
Enter the product key
Click next
Select the Activation of the phone
Click Next when you enter your key page
Select your country
Click Next, call the number listed
Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.
Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent
They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it
Click next to complete the activation.
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

I can't install windows on MacBook 15 inch 512 GB 2015

And I have the iso of windows and proceed to installing windows subsequently after that download the file of taking in charge of windows there was an error popup "WINDOWS FILE cannot NOT BE COPYED".

can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system
can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system
Depends on if you can get the drivers for your Windows 2000-compatible hardware; you need to verify that hardware manufacturers laicists site to check the drivers. Most of the hardware manufacturers are not even the creation of drivers for Windows XP that is newer than Windows 2000.
Check out the thread below (specifically the post from Andre Da Costa) from earlier today about the installation of Windows 2000 as a virtual machine.

MG 7720 - "MP Drivers not can be installed" - Windows 7, router wireless
It is a Canon PIXMA printer - new. Everything seems to be downloading fine until it gets to the stage where the MP drivers are downloaded. At this point, an error message is displayed: "MP Drivers could not be installed" I tried to install with the method of USB cable but no luck there. I'm at my wits end at this point. All the advice - please help. Thank you.
Hello.
Try to temporarily disable all firewall or anti-spyware programs on the system when running the installation. It may be possible that another program is preventing the MP Drivers Installer.
