• Replaced the HARD drive, but can not reinstall the operating system

  Evening,

  I replaced the HARD drive on my laptop and used the sony recovery media kit, but the error message "can not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers.

  The HARD drive is a Toshiba of the same style and size. Sony sent me two sets of disks, I replaced the HARD drive twice still have exactly the same problem.

  Any ideas before using it as a target would be useful.

  Thank you

  It is possible that the new hard drive, you bought are 4 k sectors and not 512 KB, which is necessary to make it work properly.  If you have a practical clean Windows installation disc that give a try and see if you encounter the same error...

  You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

  Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

  Original title: Original Windows XP cd.

  I have an original cd of Windows XP Home Edition with the product key for it and want to use it... but when I look at the disk, according to me, he said: "Don't use this CD to reinstall the operating system on Dell count" that I had in 2004 and have more... what I want to know I can install it on a different computer now and it would be legal?

  Because Dell SLP, the restriction of similar model is not important. All that matters is the EULA and the fact that the two computers are Dells.

  I have a client who is moving from a workgroup to a domain based network.  About half of the computers are Windows 7 Home edition.  I need to upgrade to Pro so I can join the domain.  I was not able to find an easy way to do it since Anytime Upgrade no longer works on Windows 7.  The only time I did, I had to by a free license key and ended up having to completely reinstall the operating system.  So, how can I switch to Win 7 Pro without reinstallation of the operating system or go to Windows 8.

• Can I get an installation Win XP Pro Update CD includes SP3? The one I have now is pre - SP2 and reinstalling the operating system takes 4-EVER!

  My existing Windows XP Pro installation CD is almost a decade, and it precedes SP2. It's a nightmare, whenever I have to reinstall the operating system as ut takes a day or two to download Microsoft updates. Is it possible to replace my installation CD with a newer version, including a number of post-SP3 updates and SP3?

  You do this using a technique called "slipstreaming".  You start with a genuine XP installation CD and add in the necessary service packs and updates.

  If your CD-ROM is sp1 or 1A, you can just slipstream sp3.  If you have XP 'or' (pre - sp1), it is more complicated.

  There are many websites that explain how to do this.  Google for "slipstream sp3 of xp" or something similar.

  This site claims to have a script that will create a slipstreamed XP sp3 and all post-sp3 CD critical updates (description wrongly "sp2").  I the have not used and do not have any information on how easy it is or if she actually does what it says.

  Check maual of the user of the ignition key (e.g. F11) you need to press on when you first ask the computer to access the XP restore partition. If you have a "restore CD" the game that the BIOS so that the CD-ROM drive is the 1st device to start, followed by the hard drive. then power on the computer and "press any key" when prompted to start the installation.

• I don't have any windows XP CD. How can I reinstall my operating system?

  My computer came with windows XP CD. Now I have problems and want to wipe out my computer and return to the factory settings, can someone help me please. Thank you

  Hello ShirleyDavisSH,

  If your computer is suddenly missing from programs and started giving error messages, this can be caused by malicious software.

  The the more effective way to ensure that malware has been removed is to perform a new installation of the operating system or a system recovery, as you have previously suggested.  Before that, I recommend you to save the data files you do not want to lose out on a CD/DVD or external hard drive.

  That being said, it may be possible to clean malware off the machine.  There are several applications free antivirus that you can download and run on the system.  Alternatively, you can download the free Microsoft anti-virus - Microsoft Security Essentials - at the following link:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/security_essentials/default.aspx

  Let us know if you have any questions.
