Caught a virus. Want to just erase the HD and reinstall. Cannot get Windows original XP discs do. Help?
Click son on some site that I can download a Trojan horse. Disabled Malwarebytes and AVG update did not find. Saved that I need and now want to erase the hd and reinstall. Cannot get computer to read what whatsoever. I myself once in safe mode, but now it tells me that it cannot find a hard disk. I can refer to boot from the CD drive, but it gives me a blue screen error "cannot find a hard disk. Any help?
Your computer most likely has SATA drive and the Windows XP installation disc does not include the SATA controller drivers so Setup can not 'see' the hard drive. You have several options:
1. to detect the drive, you must use the F6 method to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, note that when you use the F6 method, the pilots MUST be provided on a diskette, the installation program will not accept the drivers from other media sources.
Adding third-party or updated during the installation of Windows driver
Mass storage drivers and the Setup process
2. you can integrate the drivers into your installation CD:
3. you can go into the BIOS and change the SATA controller in IDE mode and the Windows Installer will be able to detect the drive. Most of the BIOS have this option is available, if you don't you will need to use option 1 or 2 above.

blue screen after replacing the battery and charger / need of Windows XP Pro disc
Hi all.
I bought a used laptop from gateway with Windows XP Professional already on it. The person I got it never gave me the disc of Windows or textbooks and it is out of warranty. I had to replace the battery and the charger after 3 months of use, and it now gives me the blue screen. I can't enter in safe mode, it gives me just all sorts of codes for Win32 /? (different things). SYS. The blue screen also tells me if this keeps continues to go to F8(Advanced Options), and then choose the option. I called my local tech and he said contact Windows to get a disk to fix the problem. How can I do (I'm not a comp WIZ). So I try here to get any help. I am on a borrowed laptop so if you can help, please send me a personal email to * address email is removed from the privacy *. I get their
After reading the owner's manual for the NX260X (Chpt. 7, p. 72-74) I am convinced that the laptop, as previously indicated above by PML, is originally came with Windows Vista.
http://support.gateway.com/s/manuals/mobile/8511886.PDFIn addition, according to the instructions of the manual recovery (pg.74, means only available recovery Windows are re - install using the supplied DVD.) This is meaningless given that bridge claims the recovery partition was part of laptop computers sold after November 2004. I agree that, if you decide not to try to fix the errors, you should consider Windows 7.
However, personally, I would try to fix the mistakes here before you spend a minimum of $100.00 for Windows 7. We usually have a pretty good success rate when the OP stays with the subject.

Wipe the entire machine and install the latest OS without login password.
The person who gave you the computer is supposed to have done this before giving it to you. Restore the computer to them and tell them to clean the hard disk, remove all their information from the administrator.

Contact ask an ANDS Apple Store.
However, what makes you think that a virus fried your HD?
Looking at it
https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_Pro
Initially, you Mac Pro came with an SSD.
Just what failure symptoms are you having? Maybe your SSD did not fail.
If necessary and if yo are up to it you can replace the SSD yourself

Hello, I bought Adobe for download a few years ago and settled in on a Mac Pro. I want to uninstall on the mac and install it on a new Mac Pro. No idea how I can do?
Just download, install and activate using your serial number. You are allowed to have the software installed and enabled on both machines. If you do want to keep the original installation of backup you can turn it off by opening one of the programs and by selecting help-> Deactivate.
Here's a general link for where you can find the download links...
Download and Installation Help-
https://helpx.Adobe.com/download-install.html
If you want a more direct link, you must name the software and version.
If you need your serial number, you should be able to find it in your account Adobe online if you have registered the software when you install everything first.

I just bought the CS6 and installed it on my macbook pro. I have an old mac mini I also want to run it on. It is OS x 10.6.8. It has a core duo 1.83 GHz processor intel. I put CS6 top as well?
We support PS on 10.6.8 but are not supported for Macintosh systems that are not 64-bit capable.
How do you know if your Mac has a 32-bit processor or 64-bit Intel processor?
Kind regards

I used to write in two languages (English and Italan). When I use my Mac, it's easy: I just change the language, and my keyboard is the same (i.e., International English). What I use my iPad pro, instead, he also spends my physical keyboard, so that for example if I type [keyboard I get an e. It is very annoying and makes the keyboard quite useless. Keeping fixed language I would get bad suggested words.
You will need to define your physical layout being the same for English and Italian in settings > general > keyboard > keyboard > keyboard material
