Conversion of WindowsXP on the BACK

I want to remove Windows XP from a Pentium computer works perfectly, reformat the hard drive and re - use the system as a system of DOS games.  So far, I have removed most of the data files and most of the Windows System.  I have a startup MS-DOS disk reformatting, but the c: drive containing XP operating system is not recognized.  How can I get BACK to see the c: drive so I can use the FDISK command to reformat?  The PartDisk commands do not work because XP is on the basic disk C:boot.  I wouldn't throw a perfectly functioning, but the useless machine after 8 Apr 14.  Thank you.

What type of hard drive you have, IDE (PATA) or SATA? If it is SATA, you may be out of luck, but if the BIOS is not set to IDE mode you can try to set than the first.

FDISK has an option of writing MBR...

Something like DBAN or Killdisk can wipe all the partition information that should allow FDISK to exploit. I don't know if either as a diskette version, I've only seen versions of optical media, so unless you have another PC to burn on you might have to Google for an another floppy drive.

    Hi prates77,

    I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems, file conversion. You receive a conversion error, regardless of the file you are trying to convert? The error occurs if you use the web interface, or convert by the reader? And a strange question: how many files you have stored in your Acrobat.com account? We have seen reports of this error when there are a large number of files stored in the folder root your Acrobat.com account.

    I can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • How to make Firefox exit reloading web pages of several times (while I read a page), so that the back button to return to the previous page

    The back button did not work correctly for perhaps a month. I have finally addressed the problem but have no solution. Updated for Firefox 43.0, turned off all my Add-ons back to header by default, then also ran the refreshment of deleted my Add-ons. This problem occurs on many web sites. I'll click on Rawstory.com (for example), and then click an article and start viewing. While the page does not appear to charge that I read, I noticed that the small icon in the tab of Rawstory winks (as if reloading the page). This happens over and over again. Now I know to pull down the window under the left arrow to see what happened. The last page I read ended show 9 times under the arrow to the left, even if all I did was click top once and read the article. I wondered if my click on the scroll bar to read to the bottom of the article is somehow cause this problem (same for the use of my fingers on the touchpad). Thanks for your help.


  • Color on the back of the phone goes on case

    So I bought the iPhone SE it is almost usable but it's just that I have this transparent case for it and I used it for 1/2 months and the color of the phone is now on my transparent case. I don't know if it's normal and I'm quite concerned that after a few months the rose gold will go and a silver medal appears on the back. Contact Apple or is it a normal thing?

    Since your unit is still under warranty, visit an Apple Retail Store or Apple authorized service next to your location provider and show them your phone and if you bought it.

    They will tell you more about the reason for this and your service options.

    You can also contact the Apple Support on it to send it in, but as you send usually not incidental with the phone, it could be complicated to let them take a look at the protective case.

    Launch a service request

    Find an Apple authorized service provider

    Make an appointment at the Apple Store

  • Why left click the "back" button is disabled?

    For some strange reason, the back on my installation of Firefox button is no longer functioning normally. I can still right click on it to select the previous Web sites. But it's greyey at any time with no way to select with a normal left click.

    I refreshed Firefox and the problem persists.

    It turns out that there was something in conflict with mozilla in the openSUSE repo depot. I deleted the repository and is returned to the original repository in openSUSE.

  • My iMac makes a clicking sound in the back

    We have recently moved on a barge, and the veil of the power of the computer is done by a 1600 watt inverter. However whenever plug us the computer in you can here a small click in the back, on the top left that you're sitting at the computer. Once we turned on the computer and clicking him was slightly stronger.

    The inverter works the Chargers TV, iPad and macbook with no problems.

    While in our marina home that we are connected to a shoreline with the socket normal 230-240v voltage and then we have no problem with the iMac that works as it should.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    It's the power to complain that the power of the inverter is not good enough. You should not run your iMac with this condition or you may damage the power supply. You could try a UPS nominal value between the inverter and the iMac to see if that cleans things.

  • Impossible to return to the place where I ieft off after clicking the back button

    When I browse Smugmug photos, after you select the gallery that I want, when I'm done and I click the back button it brings back me initially galleries and not where I chose the last Gallery or photo. IE and chrome don't do that.

    Thank you for your question and I'm happy to help you. I understand that the back button does not work as expected in Firefox, all seeking to smugmug.

    At the same time as a work autour, if you right click on the back button, it will give the list all the pages that are visited.

  • How can I move the button reload of the page in firefox OSX for next to the back button where it was before I updated.

    How can I move the button reload of the page in firefox OSX for next to the back button where it was before I updated.
    I know there is an addon for windows Classic theme, but I need a fix for osx... its very frustrating when you update and things like this change and can be customized to the way we are used to using the browser. his counter intuitive to have the page button refresh so far from the back and home buttons.

    never mind, I found the preferences in the addon manager... Thanks again!

  • The sim tray on an iphone 5 c may be at the back of the phone? Certainly not in tray on the RIGHT side.

    My iphone 5 doesn't have the sim tray on the RIGHT side. I couldn't mount the sim card technology. The sim tray would have access to the back of the phone? At the present time, that the rear is masked by a stick on the cover, which will be difficult to remove, the phone should be repaired and I need to remove the sim card.

    If there is a SIM card, then he found only on the RIGHT side.

  • Can I activate the Apple logo lit on the back of my 30 inch Apple display?

    Can I activate the Apple logo lit on the back of my 30 inch Apple display?

    It would be cool to see!

    It would be cool, but I don't think it was an aspect of the design. The back of my screen to the wall. The size and the quality of the image and the glass, I think, speaks for itself. The black Apple logo on finely designed aluminum case is very well see when switching from an office. We'll let the glowing Apple logos to Mac Air and MacBooks.

    Bravo!
