Can I load windows vista or 7 on this PowerEdge 840?
Hey guys, first time, coming through a device like this. PowerEdge 840
Serial number:
I read the manual, but still confused, can I load win7 on this machine? It can work as any ordinary windows machine?
So I went into the boot options and selected the dvd as the first player, but it just goes straight to windows server 2003. Something up with this device in any case, whenever I have manually close it restarts and the fan is very noisy? Is this way, it is supposed to work, or it is supposed to be silent?
There is 3x73GB readers in this machine and there is 2 pci cards connected to a smal circuit located at the rear of the 3 HARD drive, what can I do here in order to bypass this RAID system to connect a HARD drive to load windows OS please?
The connector on the disks look like regular SATA connectors but the description on the Maxtor disk reads:
ATLAS 10K V, 3.5 SERIES
73 GB Serial Attached SCSI
They are not SATA disks? If not and I can use a SATA drive, do I have to remove 3 disks and place a SATA drive in one of the slots?

You might be able to install Windows 7, but NO server has been tested and validated to run no matter WHAT client operating system. They are tested and developed for the server operating system. That said, it doesn't mean it won't work, but you will need to use the drivers 2008R2.

Servers are not supposed to be quiet, but as part of the POST, the fans turn loudly when first energized. If they do not ramp down to a 'normal' speed, there may be a problem with the fans, sensors or environment (or the lid can be turned off).
Make sure there is a check mark next to the DVD drive... means it is enabled. Also, how did you create your Windows media?

You can install Windows with a RAID System... you just need drivers. What model of controller RAID do you have?

SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) are not the SATA drives, but SAS controllers/cables/funds of basket are 'retro' - compatible with SATA. You CAN put SATA drives out there, but it won't change anything. Windows will treat it the same. Windows only communicates with the controller, not directly with the player.

I bought a new hard drive. I don't have a system recovery disk. Can I load Windows Vista from another source and activate using my original product key?
Hello
There is no download available from Microsoft Vista.
Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.
Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
See you soon.
p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.
It depends on the old hard drive still works.

I can't load Windows Vista on a portable computer provided with Windows 8?

I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
one or both.
This traditional desktop Interface is almost identical to Windows 7
interface; the biggest difference is that there is no Orb start
Click to bring up the start menu. But note that you can get the beginning
Orb back using one of the many third-party programs, either for free or
very inexpensive (Classic Shell to)
http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
Debut8, but they are both very good).
And going from one interface to another is very easy; There are
several ways, but simply by pressing the Windows key is perhaps the
easier. Just install one of these two and using the traditional
Desktop interface may be a better choice for you than go to
Windows Vista. I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with the
traditional desktop interface and start 8 installed. If you were
to view and use my computer, you would have a realization of wireless trouble
is not Windows 7.I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.
Want Windows 7 "to http://www.howtogeek.com/elk/298/45121/4206has been woundering if ill have problems if I try to load vista on a laptop comes with windows 8 already on it
Note that you need to do a clean install, so lose
all data on the drive and all installed programs.Also note that (especially with a laptop), you may need Windows Vista
drivers for it, and they cannot exist. So before you try, remember to
Check with the manufacturer of the laptop that Vista is performed on it. -

Hi Pat. You need to change your password of e-mail of course but not in front of you, either remove malware from your computer or format and install Vista. Exactly what the problems are, other than your email, you encounter? What do you mean also 'filled my c/hard disk 233 GB'? Please give as much detail as possible.

Hello
There is no free and legal Vista download
Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

error - coded 19; involved device is CD/DVGW - TSST Corp. CD/DVGW TS-H652M ATA DEVICE. does not load at startup, nor do I have an icon E:\drive on my related 'Computer', only C and D of backup disks, since it has failed to load.

I tried the driver down load and FIXIT online program, they say that my drivers are repairable, but the problem is in the registry and device instructions at the beginning upward. What should I do next!
Hello
19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.
Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
This will refresh the default driver stack.Normally the above will solve this problem otherwise working your way down through them, even if you did
them before.Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
