Can Win XP Pro on the Packard Bell System evolve?

HY. I USE a PACKARD BELL INTEL (R) PENTIUM (R) DUAL CPU * address email is removed from private life * 2.00 GB of ram AND I want TO DO AN UPGRADE. CAN I DO IT? IF SO, HOW? I HAVE WIN XP PRO. SP 3... !

You plan to upgrade to Vista or Windows 7.

If the answer is Vista, and then you perform an upgrade on the spot, that will keep all your applications and data intack. Note the bare minimum of RAM/memory you need for Vista is 2 GB and it runs slower than XP.

If the answer is Windows 7, then your only choice is a "custom" / Clean install which means that you must back up all your data file (on external support) and then once the upgrade is complete and then install applications. ". Memory required for Windows 7 are 1 GB for 32-Bit OS or 2 GB for the 64-bit operating system.

You must run the compatabily Windows 7 checker before doing anything: Windows 7 Compatibility Checker

Also: Check Windows 7 device drivers available for your make and model. If there is no drivers then chances are one or more device (LAN, sound, Etc.) may not work.

As always, make a backup of the Image of your external hard drive USB driver before you start the actual upgrade.

  • Blue screen when installing Win XP Pro on the Satellite A100-211

    Hi all.

    I'm started to get really desperate here! I just bought my new Satellite A100-211 and now I want to install my own copy of Windows XP Professional (as the laptop comes with XP Home). But, when I try to boot from my Win Xp Pro CD (with no SP1 or SP2 integrated), I get a blue screen of the STOP just as the installation application reached the phase "the installation program starts Windows! The STOP message says something about a file named "pci.sys".

    I don't know what the problem is or how to install XP Pro! It should be so simple! I even tried the SATA drivers from intel and load the Windows XP Pro install the program installation (F6) with a floppy, but I always get the same blue screen at the same stage of the installation.

    Can someone help me please? Can someone explain how to install Win XP Pro on this laptop?

    Thank you very much in advance! I'm really really freak out with this

  • Trying to install win xp pro on the Satellite A200 - TH1 (PSAE3C)

    Hi all
    I just bought this laptop. It came with vista. I want to install xp pro on it, I mean keep vista as well. So I made the partition and assigned 72 GB for xp pro. Now the problem is that xp pro install cd does not recognize the hard drive. It says no hard drive present.

    It is a SATA drive. So I did some searching on Google on it and found that xp pro doesn't have SATA drivers and this is why you may not see the hard drive. I need to install the SATA drivers with xp pro by pressing F6... and blah blah. Given that this laptop didn't come with the disk, then I found on some forums to include drivers with xp pro cd and make an iso image and try to run it.

    I tried several times but each time it gives me error this cable is broken. Is someone can pls let me know what is the problem? And also if anyone can guide me to get the right drivers for my SATA drive and intel 965 PM chipset... If I go the Intel Web site.

    They are all. EXE files. I want the driver files only, so I can insert them into the xp cd. Thanks for your help and guidance adavance.

    Hi all

    I was able to get the drivers... now, I came across another hurdle... When I put the XP installation cd (which is an ISO bootable disk... This includes the xp sp2 and realtek nic drivers) it gives me message that searching for media... RTL8100E/8101E v1.02... test failed... Check if the cable is connected...

    Any ideas? What should I do now? Any suggestion would be appreciated... Thank you

  • Acer Aspire its problems after Win 7 Pro and the new installed HARD drive

    I have an acer aspire 8735 laptop g-6502 which has recently undergone a WD 500 GB drive HARD failure. I replaced that with a 7200 RPM Hitachi 1 TB drive and given that I don't have a Win 7 original used a disk Win 7 Pro with an extra friend.

    Windows 7 Pro and HARD disk installation went smooth. But now when I plug an HDMI cable to watch through my Marantz receiver, comes from the video, but I have to do manually the Marantz the default audio device for sound. When I unplug the HDMI, I must return to the parameters of sound and unenable Marantz and re - activate the Realtek audio.

    Before the drive died HARD, happen all perfectly when you plug the HDMI cable in and the fact to disconnect without any fiddling around with settings.

    I also have a few other questions:
    1. the touch volume control next to the numeric keypad does not control the volume more
    2. the keyboard key used to have a setting to display it. You can use two fingers on a tablet to drag the image to the screen bigger and smaller.

    I looked the site of Acer and also used my drive Application and drivers to reinstall everything that looked related to these issues. When first, I installed Win 7 Pro I let Windows find the appropriate drivers. It worked for some things but not others.

    Any ideas? I have a few scratches on my face and my forehead in frustration pain making me beat me here. Funny, but true, so all ideas are appreciated!

    Windows Update problem (new)

    The following procedure applies in the case of installation (reinstall) Windows 7.  It does not apply to a usual, normal day.

    I'm afraid that you will do the reinstall again.  Not a terrible penalty to pay.  Usually takes less than an hour.  Then immediately proceed to the next procedure.   It's strange, but it really does work and many people have proved it.

    NEVER install anything other than Windows updates until your system is up-to-date.  Once you have the list update, install all together.  Installation of updates in batches is not expedite the process or do better.

    1. Before you begin to re - install, download (32 or 64 bit) KB3083710 and KB3102810 in advance and store on a USB
    2. Start and end the re - install Windows 7 SP1
    3. Before that the newly installed system can go online for the first time, Disconnect the computer from the Internet.  This chronology is essential.
    4. Install KB3083710 and reboot manually.
    5. Install KB3102810 and reboot manually.
    6. Restore the Internet connection, and run Windows Update as usual.
    7. After a few minutes, you should have a lot of updates to download and install.

  • Unable to install Win XP Pro on the Qosmio X 300

    Is it possible to install XP Pro on my Qosmio X 300.
    I tried to install it but now luck.

    I could format the HARD drive and then install or what I have to do something with the Bios.
    Frank

    Of course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.

    Can I ask you if you have already created a Toshiba Recovery DVD?
    I guess you laptop supports the recovery of HARD drive and no drives have been provided with this device.
    Before to format the HARD drive, you must create a recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    Furthermore, I believe that you are not able to install XP because the SATA driver were not included in your Win XP operating system.
    Well, on some laptops you can disable the SATA AHCI in the BIOS and could spend in compatible mode. This would install the Win XP without a SATA driver.
    But this option is not available on all models of laptops. You need to check this first.

    Finally, I must say that this topic has been discussed a lot of time here in the forum. Maybe not specifically in the forum of Qosmio X but in the other forum and the SATA installation procedure is the same on all laptops.
    So look for a little

  • Win 7 Pro (in the field) pasted on a public network (not clickable)

    On 50 computers in a domain at the moment, I have one that is hurting and stuck in the unidentified network (public) and gives me an IP address of 169.x.x.x.x.  And - the public network is NOT clickable to change this setting for work or at home.

    I tried another one on the same Ethernet cable.  This other computer gets a DHCP address immediately.
    The computer problem - tried another cable.  Not fixed
    So I excluded the Ethernet cable.
    I have reset the TCP stack.  Tired of DHCP and even a static IP address.  Went to secpol.msc and strategies of the network list manager and changed things around.  I restored the computer to an earlier date (like a week before).  I removed the NIC card and drivers and re-installed.  I logged on to the computer as another user and tried.  Tried MS: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2578723/en-us and that did not help.  Nothing has worked.
    I'm enough ideas here.  Any suggestions?  There was a power outage in my client's office, the other night for about 10 minutes and the computer that has been affected.  User light work, newspapers - view cannot start any client/server application, then notice no (public) network connection and here I am troubleshooting and exhausted all my troubleshooting steps.
