Cannot install XP-cannot select drive to install on

I can't install XP on a computer with a new hard drive. I can only find XP Home Upgrade and 95 upgrade to use CD. I can boot from the XP CD, and he comes to the point where there is no previous version, so he asks to have a previous version in that CD set. I do and it goes to another screen where it shows a number of hard drives and asks where to install it by selecting it with the arrow keys. As soon as I press a button, I get a blue error screen Stop, I believe it's called, and everything ends.

I tried a few times and it just doesn't work. Does anyone know what is the problem?

Thank you.

Hello

For a new hard drive, primary installation can be done with the Windows XP Home Upgrade or the Windows 95 upgrade CD.
You must have Windows XP Edition family full version for installation. You can also contact the manufacturer of the computer for better assistance.

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    1. Start menu search: 'drive '.
    2. click on create and format hard disk partitions
    3 right-click the Local Disk (C) and select shrink.
    4. According to the size of the files, we could save, choose the size you want to reduce (1000 MB = 1 GB)
    5. right click on the new "unallocated space" and create the Partition. (Name it BACKUP or something)
    6. place all your important files on the new partition, and then, when you reinstall Windows, select the Local Disk (C)
    DO NOT select the Partition you you saved on files.

    Thank you, Sean. I found out what I needed to know to fix the DIF from a document from hp customer service. I was able to fix by restarting, it is to unplug the usb cable first from the printer, wait 5 seconds, plug the cable back in. Then I desconnected the cable from the computer, wait 5 seconds and plugged.

    Duh!

    Thanks for responding.

  • Cannot select several windows in the taskbar.

    In Windows XP, you may hold down the CTRL key and select multiple windows, then right-click on one of them and choose close, which would close all save time and clicks.

    However, in Windows 7, you cannot select multiple windows at the same time using CTRL.

    Is there a logical reason for it?

    Is there an alternative?

    With the redesign of the taskbar, les ingenieurs engineers included a method to close all windows of a particular program.  There is however no more multiple-selection.  You can always do this by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Escape and then using Ctrl-click to select and close the windows of this list of programs.

    However, there is no alternative to the taskbar.

    For additional reading on technical and creative process that went into the design of the new taskbar, see the Engineering Windows 7 blog by the developers themselves, to http://blogs.msdn.com/e7.

  • ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID, or sample, a view of join without key - preserved table form w/report and LOV

    I create a page "Form on a Table with Report" (APEX 5). Table I has 3 columns: cat_key, item_value, item_description. The cat_key is a foreign key in a table with columns cat_key, cat_value. I created the report and everything works fine.  The page of the report shows my domain cat_key in number, so I want it instead to display the cat_value. I change the field cat_key to a text based on LOV, select my LOV and now when I view the page of report I get the "'ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from where sample, a join without key preserved table view ' error." The report uses the ROWID as a link to the edit page field.

    If I use the same tables and even shared LOV in a report page interactive, it works fine.

    What I am doing wrong?

    This is a limitation of the IR Apex will rewrite your query to a query that includes the lookup table and the columns. So now you have actually created a query on an inline view, which causes the error. You can see the query apex created when running in debug mode. APEX will join the table of choice with your primary table. For example from one of my IR:

    Select 'ID '...

    "MSL". "" HIS_COUNTRIES "=> my primary table

    ) ) b,

    (select rv_meaning d, rv_low_value r

    of msl_ref_codes_table

    where rv_domain = "JOHN".

    ) L1 = > query My LOV Lookup

    ...

    So, if possible, base your reports and forms on the real primary key, no rowid.

    You can also write the IR query with the search yourself:

    Select T1.rowid...

    of primary_table T1

    look_table L1

    ...
