  After you perform a clean installation of the operating system, you must then install drivers for all your hardware. Looks like you have not carried out this operation.

  Never get the drivers from Windows Update. Bring:

  1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
  2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
  3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

  Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

  To find out what hardware is in your computer:

  1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
  2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
  3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

• Installed Windows Vista Home premium sp2 by using the recovery disk, need to activate product key

  Hi-

  I recently partion on my computer hp laptop and installed windows vista family premium with the recovery disk I got with the laptop I have this laptop for about 4 years, I have the product ID-89578-oem-7332157-00204. If possible can I get the product key to my email * address email is removed from the privacy * because that's what I was told by hp when I asked them why they said that my warranty is over, but my windows cd must be functional and ask microsoft.

• Cannot install Windows XP as a second OS on the Satellite L305-S5926

  Just got a Satellite L305-S5926 (a series SATA drive), I want to add a Windows XP partition (first choice) or convert them into a single Windows XP system (second choice).

  First of all, I did shrink a partition using Disk Manager in Vista to release about 73 GB of disk space for use by the Win XP partition. Then with the BIOS setting for the Sata Interface AHCI (default) value, I rebooted for Win XP installation CD and had a blue screen of death (BSD) with a Stop error after you load all the drivers and tried to start XP.

  I then created a floppy disk with the drivers of Toshiba Sata Raid/AHCI and restarted the installation of Win XP CD using F6 to install Sata drivers. Always had the BSD. Restarted and went into the BIOS and changed the setting of the Interface Sata to compatibility and then restarted in the Win XP installation CD.

  Use both the F6 option or not the F6 option, the progresses installation more than before in the start-up phase to the place where you get to choose the partition where you want to install XP.

  At this point the only partition is to see the partition C: Vista living in. It is not the 73 GB of free space I created by reducing the Vista partition at the beginning. The results are the same, they are, under Vista, I leave the space as free space or if I format it, it does not appear as a place to install XP

  At this time I have not yet tried the cleaning disc entirely and install XP first then by installing Vista only because I'm still waiting for a Toshiba Recovery disk before proceeding with this approach.

  Any idea what I can do to create the second partition with XP? Anyone tried install XP on this model as the primary OS and if so how did you do?

  Thank you
  Joe

  Hello

  HP normally with laptop press F11 at startup to start the recovery process

  How 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

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Cannot install Windows XP Pro on the Satellite A100-411

  Hello

  IA´ve you have a question. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-411 with Windows Vista Home Premium. Because of the performance that would have me much better with Windows XP, I tried to install Windows Xp on a second partition, but on the same hard drive.

  The problem is that it did not work, I put the Windows XP cd in my DVD player, did a restart and started from the cd.
  The first window Windows Xp installation opened and checked my system, but when he did and
  wantet to start the main installation, I got a blue screen, where stood her system was closed due to an error and that I should change my video card, or should I turn caching and shadowing in my Bios.

  But my video card really works and is ok and I can't find the caching and shadowing in bios, so I can't install windows xp.

  So my question is is it possible to install Windows XP on the A100-411 when Vista is installed on the other Partition.

  I did something wrong or isn´t is it possible to install Windows Xp after Windows Vista on an A100-411
  Sorry for my bad English and greetings from the Germany

  Hello

  Of course, it should be possible to install Windows XP on the second partition.
  First you must create the partition. Vista provide a clean option for partitions of creation because the 3rd party applications such as Partitions magic doesn't work under Vista. In disk management you can reduce the size of a partition of first and could create a second partition on the HARD disk free space.

  All your Windows XP CD contain service packs? I myself remember more old CD s WinXP don't were not delivered with SP2! In such cases, it s a good idea to create a clean XP Boot CD using 3rd application called nLite. Its freeware and you could find on the net!

  (My Automatic Updates usually work, but this time not to go.) Updates are obtained through IE8 browser, but I prefer FireFox for daily use.)

  Thank you! Success!

  I used method 2, because I had already tried method 1 earlier, but the "fix it" went wrong. After reading the information from method 2, I opted to use my FireFox instead of IE8 browser, because I suspected that the process Internet Explorer that are included with the update was a large part of the cause of my problem. Among the options, I used Microsoft Download center to locate the update I needed and then through its validation and finally made the download and reboot. Voila!

  Can you please explain why the process more automated via IE did not work for me? Why I resorted to the labour process more that I used? Can I expect this of all the other "critical" updates that I get on my machine Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005? Maybe your answers would also be interesting to others.

  Hi, Claudio Nahmad,.

  This error can occur if the data in the registry for the device and its driver has been corrupted.

  Since you have already done a factory restore, leave, try to uninstall and reinstall the driver CD\DVD and check if it helps.
  Code 19: Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged

  We can also refer to article and check if it helps.

  Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

  Important: The above links contains steps to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  For more information, you can view the article:

  Back up the registry

  You can also try to install Windows updates, including optional updates driver and check if that helps.

  In most cases, recover the hard disk will solve your problems.

  If your problem persists, you may have to contact HP support. Find details of support HO in the documentation of your PC.

  Hello

  Here is another solution, you can try to see if you can get Windows 7 to install correctly.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  No hardware changes or software recently made to the system: I followed the usual procedure to install Windows updates.

  Method of connection: wireless

  Technical expertise: intermediate level

  Performed troubleshooting: because the error # 80071 A 90 type indicated by the system, I followed the instructions of Windows Help and Support, for example to run Microsoft Fix it which did not work; a more advanced method has also been used, who recommended to start Windows Update in Mode safe, then open Windows Update and install the updates and then restart normally. At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.

  Hello amib004,

  As much as I know, only Windows Update cannot be run in safe mode. That being said, I saw where install several updates may conflict with each other. Try to disable all updates installation and install the updates failed one at a time.

• Cannot install windows after reset of the partition

  I've literally been sitting to my macbook for the last 10 hours trying to get my bootcamp at work, however after tons of things difficult and research I found online I'm always at a loss. Initially, I had installed windows 7 a few weeks ago for the second time (after that yosemite deleted my previous one during the upgrade) and everything was fine. Then, I took the decision to uninstall my windows because I really wanted to expand the size of my partition, then backed up all my files and used bootcamp to delete windows and re partitioning my hard drive to a single volume. However after this, and then following the same exact steps as before (running bootcamp and sharing in a larger space) once the restarts my laptop that it comes up with the message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" instead start windows automatically load (as it did before). I've repeated several times in the hope that it would work once however I can't help but feel that there is a problem with my hard drive and when I try to check my hard drive (not the 'Macintosh HD' a top one) sometimes - (I say sometimes because it does not say this error when you try to check) said this :

  Error: A disk with a mount point is required.

  and yet when I performed the same task again 2 minutes later he says:

  I'm really not good when it comes to such things, so this information can be totally irrelevant, sorry! I had originally check my volumes a recovery when yosemite initially deleted to repartition my hard drive and reinstall windows. I really don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated. I have no knowledge in this subject what so ever but I feel that my hard drive is damaged somewhere (even if yosemite still works perfectly and all my files appear to be intact) or for some reason my boot loaders do not work...

  I can provide more information if necessary, but quite frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this if you have!

  1. do you use a USB key to install Windows?

  2 can you post the output of the following OSX Terminal commands?

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.
