  3 successfully installed Windows 7 directly in the resized partition boot camp (not through VMWare Fusion).

Received an error message charging me to disassemble and reassemble the physical disk changes. However, since I did it, he cannot find a bootable disc, therfore making it the useless bootcamp VM.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.

  1. If the merger is open, close it.

  2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

  RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

  3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

  Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

  Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

• I had a version of windows vista pre installed my lap top hp for some reason I formatted and installed windows 7 now that I can get the vista will have the product key

  cd key always produces with me please advise soon

  Hello

  HP normally with laptop press F11 at startup to start the recovery process

  How to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Format and reinstall Windows 10 - Dell XPS 13 9343

  Hello

  I have a Dell XPS 13 9343 provided with windows 8.1 and I have upgraded to windows 10.
  I would like to format and do a clean install of windows 10 and after that to create a dual boot with ubuntu.
  I don't want to retrieve anything, just in any format.
  My question is:
  1. What is the best way to do it? Is there a preparation necessary before formatting (except backup)? If anyone can point me to a relevant detailed guide, it will be great.
  2. do I need to care that I want to install ubuntu in dual boot, when I format and install windows? Or just to install after windows is already installed?
  Thank you.

• How can I get windows xp Setup to format and install.

  I am trying to format and reinstall windows xp on a home build I have for my nephew, but having all sorts of trouble. I tried on three different drives and get the same thing. When I get to the point of delete the partition and create a new partition it it still affects in RAW format. I don't give me the opportunity to FAT or NTFS. and then when I try to install says windows cannot be installed on the disk. the first time I thought that the hd could have been killed, but when it happened on the second and third discs I am at a stand still. Anyone out there have any ideas for me? Thank you

  What do you mean by "treated as main system internally disk"? If these discs are in external boxes USB, your method will not work! If they are REAL internal drives, and then booster cables and the master/slave relationship must be correct. Depending on whether the drive is IDE or SATA, a certain BIOS setting may need to be set or you may need to have the SATA drivers on a floppy disk so that you can hit the F6 key at the right time. See:

  Can there be a hardware conflict instead? Absolutely! Let us know everything. It is possible, one or more components does not support Windows XP. Finally, consider starting a new thread here since your question seems to certainly be related to material:

• Format and install Snow Leopard on Mac Mini

  Hello

  • I have a Mac Mini
  • Using boot camp, I have a Win10 partition which is now, the entire hard drive.  Really.
  • I have the installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.3) DVD
  • I directly connect the optical drive and a wired keyboard to the system
  • Start by pressing the [CTRL] key.
  • Download the white screen with the Apple logo in the middle of it.
  • .. then nothing.  He's here.  After 10 minutes, I pull the plug and restart the Windows partition and return to the slaughter of these discussion forums for clues.

  Issues related to the:

  1. How do I FORMAT and INSTALL Snow Leopard on the Mac Mini or m, I was too impatient after the [Ctrl] restart using the OS X DVD? 
  2. Is there an external utility that I should get to format the drive?
  3. I can do this in steps - can I install OS X on an external HD and then use it for the crater / rebuild the primary drive?

  Input greatly appreciated!

  Rade

  usually it is booting by pressing the C key to start from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.

  or start by pressing the Option key to get a list of the bootable devices that you can choose from.

  See <Startup for Mac - Apple Support combinations>

  NOTE: This does not imply that you run your Mac mini Snow Leopard.  I guess that your wording she used to run Snow Leopard, and that your Mac mini still has a DVD/CD player are good signs.

  original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM

  If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:

  1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.

  2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.

  3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

• How do I uninstall Satellite L300 - 11 q Vista and install Windows XP

  Hello!

  Please help: How do I uninstall Windows Vista from my laptop and install Windows XP?
  Should I do something with discs and seized BIOS, or I can just format C drive and then install XP CD-drive?

  How can I make a recovery disk before you uninstall Vista?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  It's very easy if you want to get rid of Vista simply boot from the Windows XP CD, format the HARD drive and install XP on partition C instead of Vista.
  That s it.

  I put t know what laptop have you but the laptop most recent are equipped with the SATA controller and the SATA driver must be installed or included in the CD of Win XP to install XP on the HARD drive. The SATA driver is part of the Manger of Intel Matrix Storage, which can be downloaded from the Intel site or page of the Toshiba driver.

  Just FYI; in this forum, you can find a lot of details in the various messages on the Intel storage Manger. Just use the search option.

• HP Envy 17: Clean install Windows 10 without upgrade.

  Hello

  First of all, I am very happy with my new HP laptop first, it's amazing!

  Now my problem. The laptop came with 8.1 Windows preinstalled with a free upgrade to Windows 10, however, I want to do a clean install Windows 10 without going through the process of upgrading (or would defy a 'clean' install), without additional software (I have already downloaded all the drivers and software from HP Web site) and I wanted to make the installation of the driver/software myself.

  Now, I had the key OEM with software, however...

  I read several threads related to this problem, the recommended steps were required to use the creator of media, but that won't install it Windows 8.1? I know that I coud after upgrade, but I wanted to avoid this step

  In any case to create support for Windows 10? If I clean install 10 Windows with a retail key, I'll lose the built in recovery?

  Thank you very much for your kind attention,

  Best regards

  Francisco

  To answer your questions:

  (1) MS media creation tool: Activation in Windows 10 - Windows help offers several options: to upgrade this PC now, create installation media (download the ISO file), create an installation (DVD or USB) media.  Choose the option that suits you - understand that upgrading PC, this option does NOT create an ISO file or installation media.

  (2) lose the built-in recovery.  IF you ask on the resumption of Win8x HP - then Yes.  That no longer works after upgrade Win10.

  (3) retail vs upgrade and recovery: Version does not matter, you will lose HP Win8x recovery without worrying.

  (4) retail key - you get ONLY a touch of detail if you buy a copy at Win10 retail.  The version proposed for the free update does not product keys for activation.  You MUST install a version upgrade on top of an existing installation of Win7/8/8.1 so that it will activate.  If you install directly from media Win10 Upgrade, starting from the media and did an install clean, not only will win 10 then NOT activate, right now, it will NEVER activate.  MS talking about providing an option IN THE FUTURE, to allow people to enter a Win7/8/8.1 existing product key - but this feature is not present today.

• Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Original title: improvement of the operating system.

  Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price.  You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.

  Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them.  See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php
