• Clean install of Windows XP Professional on a WD 500 GB SATA2 HDD

  Respected members, I've never ever had this problem. Today I bought a HDD WD 500 GB SATA2 16 MB buffer.

  I tried to do a clean installation of windows xp professional on this topic (quick format) but each time the installation is complete to copy of files and restarts the computer, when it tries to boot from a hard drive it gives me an error any hardware problem.

  "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem.

  Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check the hardware path and startup disk.

  Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals. »

  The next time I try to boot from it, she said something about "hal.dll" missing. Do you think that this may be a hardware problem (but I am reminding you that I bought today, it's new, it's a warancy) or windows xp pro sp2 is not supported for the 500 GB hard drive (which I know is not possible: S)

  Hoping for an answer

  Is this the only drive in the system? If so, run the disk Western Digital diagnostic utility. No matter that the reader is right out of the box. In fact, if the material is going to fail, it will normally be done fairly quickly - sometimes right out of the box - or go for years.

  If the drive passes the test, try "slipstreaming" of your installation of XP with Service Pack 3 media.

  http://theeldergeek.com/slipstreamed_xpsp3_cd.htm

  If the drive is not the only le seul in the system, disconnect the other and try the installation again. The missing hal.dll indicates a damaged or missing boot.ini file and possibly other startup files. If you have an old IDE drive in the boot.ini system file is probably on that instead of on the new drive where it belongs.

• Help to perform a new installation of Windows Vista 64-bit.

  Original title: Clean Install.

  I am wanting to perform a clean installation of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.  I would like to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I was told, during the custom Setup, that I could choose which bit to install.

  Hello

  With Vista, you do not boot from an external drive to install it.

  It is an option in Windows 7.

  And they told you to contact Microsoft for support.

  Microsoft does not provide support for OEM installations.

  In Vista, 32 bit and 64 bit come on different DVDs.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• How to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional of a DVD on the ProBook s 4530?

  So I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed on my laptop and I want to get rid of it completely and to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit from a DVD.
  I don't want to use windows anytime upgrade somehow! Because I have a few serious bugs with my current installation and a clean install, I can be sure to get rid of them

  I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how exactly to do this and if all my data will be deleted. If so, will it download all drivers HP and the software again by myself? :/

  Bugs are not serious but they affect several programs and it is impossible to use my laptop, I was doing.
  And no, I have no recovery option, I don't have any dvd with my laptop, or something like that and personally I didn't do all the backups. Which was a mistake that I won't repeat.
  In addition, because of my college, I get a free copy of win 7 professional so why not use it?
  I have already burned on a DVD, now I just need to detail how a facility own n_n
  So after I installed win 7 Professional I just copy and replace Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE instead of download the drivers?
  BTW, I'll accept your next answer as the snap

  You will use the copied Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE for is the source of the drivers when you then. Do not replace the folder in the new installation of Windows with the folder that you copied from the initial installation of Windows. It would not be a good idea.

  Once you have done the copy of the file and have it practice you can simply put the installation DVD into the DVD drive and boot from it. There will be a point where asks you if you want to save your previous installation. Say no to it.

  At this stage you can always do a defined recovery disk. I recommend that you do this. This is the copy of the operating system and drivers you purcased your PC with. If you do not want is not a problem like UO can always buy it at HP over the next years.

• A Windows XP product key will be recognized to activate one installation of Windows 7 Professional

  A Windows XP product key will be recognized to activate one installation of Windows 7 Professional

  Windows 7 uses own unique product key, Windows XP product key can activate Windows XP.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC?

• Problem drive Installation in Windows XP Professional Version 2002

  Hello, I had problems with my Installation of Windows XP Professional disc, that is authentic. I run the Setup, everything is going very well... I get the "Welcome" screen I press F8 and then he said something in the sense of "we see that it is empty and almost died, go buy another drive of installation if you are qualified or something." It is a legitimate disc, I used this before a long time ago, and I have still 3 uses on it. I check my settings, all right, and the computer was made for Windows XP.

  Is there something wrong? What I really need to get an old installation disc, which will probably costs me about $ 50 just to get shammed?

  Please answer.

  Thank you

  Voizak Gyrith

  1 CD can get damaged or dirty, but...

  2. to learn more, you must provide the exact text of the error message.  It appears from your description of the error message, if you have an installation CD 'upgrade '.  What is the screen that you see? -->

  

  If that's what you see, you will need to find a CD for one of the listed versions.  You should be able to find one of these for not much money... very few people is eager to something like Windows 95 install these days.

  3. you shouldn't be pressing F8... at least not with a normal Windows XP installation CD.  For the sequence of screens, you see, look here--> http://www.theeldergeek.com/xp_pro_install_-_graphic.htm
