E-mail to draw from windows mail on crashed hard drive
He kept having my computer to get the system restore last week and this morning, the computer went kaput. I have a warranty on the computer so I'm not worried about getting the computer fixed, but don't need the files.
I have managed to connect the hard drive from my old XP computer and am able to get my files and documents on the hard drive, but cannot find out how to get my email from windows and the Outbox to files, so I do not lose important contacts, etc..
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, most likely will be upgraded to Windows 7 when I use the warranty. How am doing e-mail on my computer XP until I get the new computer and restore my files there?
Hello
given that you have connected your GS a XP computer
To copy the contacts, go to
Srikanth Bidnoorkar, using Vista Ultimate x 86 SP2, Office 2010 x 86-based Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, disk HARD 360 x 1 & 320 x 2.
If you can find the root of the drive, and then navigate to
and copy all fodler "Local Folders" it includes all your Mails.

There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one
Read this Information from Microsoft:

I have to buy Windows after replacing my hard drive?
I learned that my portable (HP DV-6) needs a new hard drive. Looking at the steps, I'm ready to do it myself, but I was also told that I have to buy another copy of windows?
Is this true or can I use the key that came with my original disk?
Your laptop has a software to do a defined recovery disk. They can be used to boot from after installing a new hard drive and reinstall Windows and all software/drivers.

How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?
How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please? I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation. The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?
Any correction, automated for this?
Thank you.
It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful). Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022
Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section. Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

Original title: problem to copy content from your PC to external hard drive.
I use Windows XP 2000 and am trying to restore my pc to factory settings as it is continuously 'stick '. When you try to copy my drive "c" on an external drive I get a message saying "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Close any program that might be using the file and try again "." What is 'hiberfil' and how do I close it down as I am not aware that I use?
Concerning
Pete
The hiberfil.sys will be created every time that you start... If you put in hibernation enabled in your control panel, Power Options and the file is 'open' to think that you can actually choose to Hibernate at any given time. When you Hibernate XP gives a note of it and will write a hiberfil.sys sometimes important in the c:\ folder so that when XP fires again upwards and returns from hibernation, XP will read the hiberfil.sys file and return to the situation that you were in when you put into hibernation.
I use to be a chronic hibernant because it takes less time to return after hibernation as a cold start. Sometimes, it can actually be slower that a cold so start your system based on the amount of RAM has. The more RAM you have, the more your hiberfil.sys will, if sometimes it's faster to move with just a cold start if you Hibernate (26,03 seconds for me).
If hiberfil.sys is giving you a hard time (you would not in any way copy it) disable hibernation in your Power Options and the file will be deleted immediately since it would be is no longer necessary. That would solve this, but if you are trying to copy the entire C drive, you will have other files to complain after that.
It is certainly possible to make a complete copy of the C drive, if you want, but you will have to initialize on something next to your drive hard if you want to do this so the XP files are not used - then you can copy anything and everything. You can get some imaging software of disc that will also help you.
It depends on what the problem is you want to solve and what you wand to end up with when you're done (so far, unspecified).
I would work on figure our why your XP is paste and fix it in place. XP should not be sticky.

This single icon left on my desk is the internet explore and internet runs very slowly, I am reluctant to sign something incase, there a virus or something.
Please help me!
Hi Carolinelightfoot,
This error message occurs when the system could not read and write data to the registry file. The error indicates a problem with the registry.
Method 1:
You can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.
Check your hard drive for errors
Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data that you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.
Method 2:
You can also try to boot from a full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to perform a restore of the system to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)
What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?
Hope this information is useful.

Installation of Windows on a new hard drive
I have a computer I want to get a new, more large hard drive. The vehicle currently has Windows Vista installed on it and the hard drive still works, I just need more space. What should I do to install Windows on the new drive? I will use the installation disc that came with the computer. If I get out the old hard drive, install a new one, put Windows on the new, then format the old one? Basically, I want to avoid having Windows installed on two hard drives to work.
Hello
the steps you have mentioned are correct:
take out the old hard disk - the new drive hard install - reinstall vista - old erase hard drive
You can then use a the old hard drive to backup your data
and read too much about the displacement of the full to avoid you operating system having to load data and programs again. but then you still wipe the old disk
It might make you save time and effort:
hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk
Search for information on this subject on their Web site
If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move
read the information below
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html
or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

Starting from installation, recovery - on - external hard drive
Computer: Gateway MD2614u laptop, AMD Turion X 2 64-bit processor, designed for Windows Vista
External hard drive: WD My Book Essentials (surrounded by Western Digital 500 GB drive external hard)
Background: laptop was dropped, crushed physically the internal hard drive, all other aspects of the laptop appear to be in working condition.
Vista says: Windows Setup cannot install another USB or IEEE 1394 device.
It is important to note that the external drive is a SATA. ALSO that there is NO hard drive internal to the computer right now.
I pulled the drive from its casing and place in my desktop computer. I have installed Vista in this way, and placed the disc in its case, confident, would solve the problem. "The found operating system"
I wiped the drive and tried again, this time using my Windows 7 to format the drive make a primary partition active and used the WD SmartWare to disable the password on the external, as well as VCD (Virtual CD, which contains the software for backup on and retrieve the external hard drive) on the outside. Then installed Vista back once again, the drive in the enclosure, and again, I got 'the operating system not found '.
I tried to use the "gateway recovery disc" the computer asked me to do immediately after I ran it the first time. They have installed the Vista gateway on the external hard drive without any problem, the recovery software has taught me that I had to press OK to restart the computer, but again once 'the operating system not found"happens. I advanced and rebooted the computer out of habit and that the computer starts in what concerns the loading of "microsoft" bar (the green bar moving left to right while loading vista), and then it restarted itself. This new responsible for the 'green bar' and restarted again.
3 times I let him, then I placed the regular 64 bit Vista disc in the status bar and try a startup repair. "Windows cannot resolve the problem, do you want to send the information to Microsoft" or something that nearby.
I then tried using the disk for 32-bit Vista in the same way.
32 bit Vista disc completed the repair, but now the 'green bar' vista loading screen comes up, runs for a few seconds, and then I get a quick flash of a blue screen, and until I can see what he says, the computer restarts.
Help!
Hello
This seems to be a hardware problem, so you may have to contact the manufacturer, follow the link given below to communicate with the gateway.

Second activation of Windows 7 after formatting hard drive
I recently installed Windows 7 on my desktop PC and activated. However, due to display problems (which is happened because of Lightning), the technician computer that provided the proposed Windows 7 reformat the hard drive and I agreed. After formatting, Windows 7 has been installed from the original disk even. I am not able to activate now even after providing the correct product id. The message says that I have to buy a new license!
Another curious aspect: I tried a day before activation, which asked me to download a software (from Microsoft of course). I followed the instructions, and after a lot of screens, I thought I found 'successful activation. However, booting my PC this morning, I find that I have 0 days for activation and that he chose the option "Activate now" with the same result (after providing the correct product id).
Add to my great surprise, after restarting the PC, he said now "27 days to activate. Activate Windows now.
Could someone please guide me how to actually activate my Windows 7 now? (Either by the way, I had also installed MS Office 2007 before reformatting and activated. After reformatting, Office was installed from the same disc again and I had no problems activating the office...)

For me, maybe I need to reinstall windows 7 and startup tasks are corrupt. I have my product key genuine for the computer, but no way to get to windows. How to restore windows on a netbook that won't start?
original title: Netbook Windows 7 problemNew computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
