• Laptop computer without an operating system

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my laptop. He informed that I don't have an operating system installed. Where can I see my hard drive?

  Hi Jack,

  I assume that your error message appears when you try to boot your system, in which case it would seem that you master boot record is damaged on your hard drive.

  You can, of course to restore your system from your recovery CD, but that it will return to its original state, and you will lose your data, unless your drive has been partitioned.

  If you want to access your data on your hard drive you will need to a CD (or bootable FDD) that will get you access to attempt to recover your HARD drive.

• Need help installing Windows on a computer without an operating system.

  Original title: computer wiped.

  Hi there I got an old computer at school (rm1) he was completely wiped out and needs to be rebuilt. I just need to buy and put windows? Or is there anything else to do?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  If it's a look OEM type (such as HP, Dell, Acer, etc) for the certificate of the label of authenticity (COA) anywhere on your body. If you can find the label, look for the version of Windows and the edition, and in this case, you can use the key to activate Windows of the same version and edition. But if you want to go for any advanced version than the one mentioned, you can buy a new copy. You can use the respective version and edition of Windows disk from a friend to activate using the key of COA.

  original title: log question.

  When I try to connect my computer with XP operating system, I get this error message to: rund1132.exe and cannot log out.  How can I fix?

  Hi KERRYYX,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?
  3. You have security software installed on the computer?
  4. What is the full error message that you receive?
  5. Are you able to restart and shut down the computer?

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

• I upgraded my computer, the new operating system on a new hard drive. Want to get my favorites on Firefox off my old drive, but can't find the file.

  I upgraded my computer, adding a second hard disk for a new operating system and kept the old drive as a data disc. I assumed that I could install Firefox on the new disk and import my favorites from the old installation of Mozilla on the old disk. I can't find the files on the old drive with my favorites. They're still here, or when I reinstalled Firefox, I lost everything even if it was on another drive? I can't find the backup on the old disk files and want to restore my old favorites. Is it possible to do this?

  You must find your profile folder in the old drive, the way in which must be:

  1. First display the hidden files and folders:
     • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Wi.../Show-hidden-files
  2. Then go to:
     • < old drive >: \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles \Users\ < username >
  3. Enter in your profile, and then enter the folder bookmarkbackups .
  4. Copy the latest file from json (backup of bookmarks)
  5. Then restore from them:
     • Restore backup bookmarks or move them to another computer

• Have a PC desktop, Compaq Presario 5WV270 without an operating system. I need XP Pro for this device.

  Running the software of HAM that requires WIN XP Pro SP3 32.  My understanding of several years that these units need their own flavor of Microsoft operating systems.  Where can I find a decent XP Pro?

  K1ger, welcome to the forum.

  Here is the product to the computer specification page:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00009542

  The original operating system was Windows Millennium.  Windows XP requires a minimum of 1 GB of memory to operate properly.  The motherboard supports a maximum of 768 MB memory.  Therefore, I do not recommend installing XP.  A new computer may be your best option.

• I bought a dell inspiron 1440 without any operating system. What should I install first, the dell drivers or windows vista?

  I use the windows vista installation disc supplied with my previous pc. I tried to do a clean install, inserted the disc into the cd/dvd drive. No installation window. The screen says "windows loading files..." After a few hours, the display shows something like

  "" windows has not... error: file boot32.exe is corrupt or not found. "."

  Then the Dell XP disc is great to use. However, do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):

  1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.

  2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.

  3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.

  4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.

  * It is not necessary to have a third party burning software in Windows 7 since Win7 natively allows to burn an .iso. Other operating systems require it. A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .

  5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software (unless you have Windows 7, that allows to record the .isos natively) - as an image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

  6. other hardware components are faulty.
