• Installation of SP3 on a newly formatted HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a few questions about the installation of Windows XP Service Packs on newly formatted hard drives.

  Recently I have formatted a new HARD drive and installed Windows XP Home Edition. In order to be upgraded to Service Pack 1 to 3, it is recommended to connect to Windows Update and download and install it from there. I did this and was prompted to install Service Pack 2. During the last steps of the installation (I think that durng the procedure of 'start process'), I lost Internet connectivity and was impossible to reconnect (I use a USB dongle. I think that a virus infection is interfering with the connection). That's why I had to restart my computer for the installation could be completed, but it seemed to be successful that I was able to reboot without any problem. I assume that the installation had actually finished and it was just reset stage that was interrupted.

  Question: even if the installation of Service Pack 2 has not finished and my machine seems to be fine, reinstall Service Pack 2 in order to ensure that it is completely installed?

  Question: Why should I install SP2? If Service Pack 3 contains all fixes and features of all previous Service Packs and it is acceptable to upgrade to Service Pack 1 to 3 directly, why didn't Windows Update invite me to install Service Pack 3 instead?

  Question: I have found a manual download of Service Pack 3 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4&displaylang=en), but Microsoft strongly recommends that use you it only on machines in a network, and not on a single computer. Y at - it hurt to do?

  A question here, is that if Microsoft recommends that download the latest Service Packs of Windows Update online, so it seems not possible to fully guarantee your Windows installation before connecting the interest for the first time. All the while I'm software download and installation of Service Pack 2, malware, worms and viruses have been infecting my computer (Avast! blocked a malware exploit). So even if I managed to upgrade to Service Pack 3, my machine is already infected.

  Is there a recommended way to upgrade to Service Pack 3 before you connect to the Internet for the first time?

  Thank you

  Tristan

• Iso file of windows xp can directly be installed USB on a formatted hard drive?

  Iso file of windows xp can directly be installed USB on a formatted hard drive?

  Not directly.

  There is a SMALL chance that if your hardware supports it (unfortunately never say you anything on your PC or BIOS), you can boot from a USB stick or an optical drive and install Windows XP like this.
  But it is unlikely.
  In addition, tell us what you mean by 'windows xp iso file. This is very vague, and we do not know what you are talking about.
  Finally, if you want to ask questions here, really read the answers and recognize them in some way. Here is a link to your other thread:

  An installion 64-bit read than a 32-bit format hard drive does  I want to install win 7 64 bit on a new hard drive fast.  So I can transfer data files from the drive that was in my current system that is formatted for a 32-bit operation?

• Unable to format hard drive for Windows

  Hello, I need your help here! You receive the same error message saying: "Windows is unable to complete the format" when you try to format an external hard drive on your computer? Honestly, the hard drive of my dell computer recently asked just to get in shape when it has been used on my Windows 7 computer. However, when I click on Yes to format this drive with my lost player documents and files, windows says just windows could not complete for formatting? Honestly, I used Google to search for the error problems related unable to complete the format windows and also asks me to select a formatting program? What you recommend me? This software is useful for my case? Thanks for any suggestions here!

  Hello

  If you have a mac, you can use a utility called disk pre-installed program. Connect your external DRIVE for mac drive and find an application called disk utility, in disk utility, there should be an option to erase the external HARD drive. It may come with an error similar to what you had before, but it's certainly worth a try. Let me know if this worked for you.

  Thank you

• format hard drive for windows and larger files, TV supports

  Hello

  pls suggest me with the solution to the following problem.

  I need to know what format of hard drive works with mac, windows, & TV too, even for large files and quality bluray movies

  FAT32 only supports files up to a maximum size of 4 GB, which would be certainly much too small for Blu - Ray quality media.

  exFAT supports files of unlimited size effectively, Mac and Windows can read and write to exFAT to format external drives but neither can boot from such a unit. If a TV or other system supports exFAT drives, you need to check yourself formatted.

  NTFS supports files of unlimited size indeed, Mac can only read NTFS, it cannot format or write to NTFS, unless you get an add-on. Of course Windows supports NTFS. Again, you will need to check if your TV etc supports NTFS. If you want to add full support for NTFS to a Mac, I recommend this - https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/

  HFS + is the current format of Apple and new supports files of unlimited size effectively. Mac can of course read, write and format disks. Does not support the Windows as a standard HFS +, but still, you can buy an add-on for Windows Add this feature. It is extremely unlikely that a TV would support HFS +. If you want to add full support for HFS + for Windows, take a look at this - http://www.mediafour.com/software/macdrive/

  There are also other formats of disc for example ZFS and BTRFS, Ext3, Ext4 and soon SATF, but in this case, they are not relevant.

  Note: as indicated above, in many cases, I said 'actually unlimited', it is of course a limit, but one so great that he will strike you not for individual files, including Blu - Ray or even files UltraHD (4 k).

• Satellite A210 - 17l BIos update to take care of advanced format HARD drive problem

  Hi all

  Really hoping someone can help me with this.

  My old HDD not was not so I cloned the entire disc before it failed. -Just in time, too.

  I ordered a new drive - it's a WD scorpio black - Advanced format.

  Unfortunately I can't get my picture on this new album.

  Also, I am unable to do a reinstall with the original restore also cd because it doesn't have service pack 1 and that means that it can't recognize the HD.

  In any case id prefer to be able to restore my image and not make a re-install when even if possible.

  So my question is this:

  Y at - it an update of the bios I can ask my another pc version 2.00 is available which will include options to change the options of ide drive - ahci?

  It's the only solution I can think of-bearing in mind I do not have an operating system installed, so the alignment tools are not an option as another fix. -Fast technology of storage Intel drivers do not work, because I have an AMD athlon processor.

  So is there any BIOS I can Flash my computer with to activate the options mentioned?

  I have a method to Flash the bios with a BONE, so this isn't a problem.

  Also other suggestions for workaround on this more than welcome.

  Thanks :))

  The_red_pill.

  Hello

  Update BIOS don t help you. To my knowledge, it does not add additional options such as a switch between AHCI and compatible mode.
  In addition, you can use ANY BIOS. You must use the BIOS that came out for the model of laptop. But as I said, this isn't a solution.

  In addition, the image of Toshiba already contains all the drivers in order to install the system. It s any SP1 isn t the image part.

  I guess you're talking about Vista OS, given that the laptop came with pre-installed Vista OS. http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/Equium-A210-17I/

  I recommend you format the HARD drive first.
  Use a tool called Gparted. You can create a bootable USB key containing this tool.
  This allows to start Notepad in order to format the HARD drive.

• Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

  Hello

  I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
  I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

  Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
  Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

  So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
  If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

  Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure

• Portege 3440CT: how to format HARD drive

  Hi all

  After suffering a little frustration, I decided to use the wealth of knowledge and experience which is available on the support forum.

  I have a Portege 3440CT which has been delivered to my friend a few years ago, by a company she worked at the time. When the company replaced the laptop, we were allowed to keep the old, we use very occasionally. Unfortunately, the laptop has recently experienced a failure total and irrecoverable from the original hard drive, which was not a huge setback because there was no essential data there.

  In any case, I have from a compatible spare hard drive - a Hitachi 30 GB ATA-5 / IDE 2.5 "9.5 mm 4200 RPM, Pt not ' DK23CA-30F - and mounted, but as the hard disk is not formatted the laptop does not see it is there. As I said earlier, the laptop was provided by the employer, so we are not in possession of any recovery disks Toshiba or Windows that may have been provided, the laptop was originally running Windows 98 Second edition, and the sticker detailing the product key is always on the underside.

  I approached one of the suppliers of services of Toshiba for help and they directed me to Toshiba.
  Toshiba says that the laptop is no longer supported so they directed me to a service provider, I went around in circles.

  My question is, if I bought a copy of Windows 98 SE, or Windows XP and installed on the external floppy drive, which would also include a facility to format the hard drive? I think that in Windows 98 Second edition, there was a function of FDISK. I was able to access the pages of the BIOS after looking through advice given here, I can change the order of boot with no problems

  What I request, essentially, is that now, I have installed a new hard drive, what do I do next?

  > My question is, if I bought a copy of Windows 98 SE, or Windows XP and installed on the external floppy drive, which would also include a facility to format the hard drive?

  Yes, definitely Yes! The installation of Win98or of other versions of Windows like W2K or XP provides an option to format the HARD drive before installing the operating system.
  Simply boot from the bootable CD to get this feature.

• "Re: Toshiba M10: replacement 7 k 200 with Advanced Format HARD drive" 7 K 750 HDD

  Can we see problems with the replacement of the original Hitachi TravelStar 7 K 200 (200 GB) HDD, that went into my two year old Toshiba Tecra M10 - 11 X, with a so-called 'Advanced Format' 7 K 750 (750 GB or maybe 640 GB) hard drive?

  Like the original, I want to dual-boot the new disk using three partitions:
  * Windows 7 32-bit
  * Data
  * Windows XP
  and would probably clone one disk to another (by increasing the size of the partition!) with the v5 of Macrium Reflect.

  I read up on top of the TravelStar 7 K 750 form, the alignment tool from Hitachi, Microsoft KnowledgeBase article 982018 "an update that improves the compatibility of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Advanced Format drives is available" Bit-tech http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/sto...t-hard-disks/1and so forth, but wonder if anyone has actually replaced the HDD with all original Advanced Format drives and could therefore have a certain experience to share?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  "I put t have experience using this advanced Format ' 7 K 750 HARD drive but in my opinion he should not a problem using this HARD drive.
  The laptop supports the SATA interface and if this HARD drive would also support the SATA controller, the HARD drive should be recognized too

  But of course, it is my personal opinion...
