• I re-formatted my c: drive then re installed windows XP now I'm locked up.

  I re-formatted my c: drive then re-installed windows XP. Now windows will ask a password that I don't have. How can I bypass this password or just reformat my drive c: again.   I have to assume that I put a password somewhere, but no password I would have used work wil.

  Hello

  ·         Did you enter the password during the installation of Windows XP?

  Every time that Windows XP is installed on a system, it creates a default account called "Administrator" and by default, this account is not protected by Word. Then try to connect using the empty password in safe mode and check.

  I suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps form the article and check if it helps.

• New hard drive try to install Windows vista but it keep suspended after 60% and collapsed them

  New hard drive try to install Windows vista, but it keep suspended after 60% collapsed I tried a few time every time I had to wait for 5 hours, but the same thing happen again and again can help you pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase

  Monastir,

  What happens when it stops it is have a Sata driver. It is on the drivers cd you received with your computer. You can also start the computer and press F2 to enter the bios. From there down to Configuration system - SATA Operation and change this to ATA. It is located to AHCI. Save the changes and restart the installation. Once you have loaded Windows and drivers installed, you will need to go back to AHCI.

• Free space by removing old versions of windows

  Unfortunately, I've been forced to re - install windows vista a couple of times and it seems that the computer keeps older versions and I ran out of memory. How can I delete older versions.

  "High memory" is an old term is no longer used for hard drive space.

  'Memory' now refers to RAM, to avoid confusion.

  More information is required about the way in which you reinstalled Vista

  The fact of the application above.

  If this isn't the case, I suggest a clean install of Custom, wiping the previous version/s.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Need driver disc to install Windows 7 on Tecra S10

  Hello

  I have a Tecra S10 - 11I with Windows Vista and I buy the seven Windows Update but when I try to install it, a message told me to install the driver from the cd/dvd drive (it is a Teac DV w28s-rt) and can't find it, can someone give me the link to download it or show how I can install windows 7 on my pc

  Thank you. (Excuse me for my English)

  For disk drive optical feature you n t need to install an additional driver.
  You can use your optical disc drive, the usual use of DVDs and CDs?

  Can you maybe send a screenshot of this message?

  As far as I know when you start the upgrade (upgrade disc put in ODD) you should see THE menu.

• Satellite A300 - need driver SATA to install Windows XP

  I changed my OS winXP SP3.

  After reading a lot of posts, I finally installed my new operating system but with SATA compatibility mode. I tried to change again in AHCI mode, but every time I tried Windows hangs at loading. I also tried to install Storage Manager after installation of the OS, but it fails. So I decided to change the XP disk, including the SATA driver, but after downloading all the drivers on my computer I can't find the SATA driver.

  Can someone tell me where is the .inf file?

  Thank you to

  Hello

  Firstly it is not possible to change the compatibility mode to AHCI after installing Windows. You can only do before installing XP, otherwise you get a BSOD.

  However, if you have downloaded the Storage Manager you must extract the files from the .exe file. Open a command line and type the following command:
  ' - A - a - PC:------'

  After that, you can copy the inf for external floppy drive files or integrate it into the new XP installation disc.

• Lack of free space on drive C, where is he? How can I get that back?

  I have my drive C 111 GB of capacity, I use about 59 GB of that, but still I have only about 16 GB of free. So miss me about 37 GB of free space, a third of the capacity of the disk. I have no idea where he is, I love him back. I managed to get about 8 GB of space by turning off the Hibernate option, so I now 16 GB.

  I'm sorry for my English, check the picture so I'am unclear. Here-> http://postimg.org/image/b8uv6ta0v/full/

  

  Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?

  It is not necessary to access the System Volume Information folder to manage the contents of the folder.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments. This makes it easier to hold the restore points for long periods without keeping large unwanted files, whose inflexible approach to disk cleanup fails to offer.

  You cannot remove the last restore point using the cleaning disc or cCleaner. If the last restore point contains malicious software, you can turn off and then turn on system restore. This has the disadvantage that restore all points are removed when you want to keep more restore points that are not infected. How to get round this problem is to create a new restore point when you are satisfied with your computer is free of malware and then remove the infected restore point.

  http://www.gerryscomputertips.co.UK/maintenance3a.htm

  You can resize the amount of disk space allocated for restore points. Select Start, Control Panel, system, System Protection, place the cursor on a Local Disk (C) (System). Click on the button configure, move the slider of the use of Max to the left to reduce disk space usage, click apply and then click OK. Restart your computer. Make sure you leave enough disk space to store at least four or five points restaurant.

• New HARD drive - how to install Windows?

  Hey guys,.

  I have a problem with my Dell Dimension 9150. A friend of mine gave me as a gift, because I built his new computer. We put his HARD drive in his new computer.

  The problem is: there is no CD of his computer.

  I have the original Windows XP and Windows MCE and CD licenses. The Dimension has a MCE key so I would like to install MCE.

  After installing a new HARD drive, I tried to install Windows. BIOS shows me the HARD drive. When I start the installation of Windows and choose "Windows Installer", I get to the screen where I can choose, what partition I would use. But installing Windows shows me no HARD drive!

  Don't know if I need SATA drivers? If I should need it, where can I find them? And how to get them in the Windows installation? I know that I can load pressing F6, but I don't have a floppy device.

  Would be great, if someone could help me.

  
  

• Adding an SSD as a boot drive - how to install Windows Vista Start

  To speed up my new e9105z, I bought a new 80 GB Intel X - 25 M to reduce disk latency and complete the 640GO HARD drive came with my computer.

  Drive has been installed successfully, recognized by the PC and formatted with the Windows Vista Disk Manager tool.  When I use the BIOS tool to set the Intel SSD as my boot drive, it says that some files of startup is missing, and I come to on the HARD disk as the startup disk.

  Bottom line: how to install Windows Vista on the SSD and configure it to start?  Did I lose my classic HDD data in the process?

  Thank you

  Here is where I am/measures taken.  HP of course makes this difficult process:

  (1) used the CD Creator to make a backup.  (Note that the CD - R does not work with the e9105z software.  Do only DVD-R).  (I tried the system HARD disk recovery image.  He simply reinstalled itself on the HARD disk.)

  (2) the value of Vista installed on the SSD via backup DVDs.  System starts beautifully with SSD.  Hooray! I was about to declare mission accomplished, then...

  (3) Reconnected my HDD SATA cable, she failed to be the startup disk.

  (4) I used disk management to reformat the HARD drive to erase its boot sector.  It is always default to the HARD disk, which is more a Vista on it.  Now, I must go into the BIOS and choose the Intel SSD as boot drive whenever I turn on manually.

  Any idea on what needs to be done to configure the BIOS to finally settle the SSD as my boot drive?  The backup system image is still on the old hard drive.  Could that be throwing?

  The SSD speed is great, but the 6 + hours spent on Vista reinstall, reinstall and reinstall throughout this trial and error process made a royal PITA to do.  It seems that HP didn't consider that whether by adding a second drive that is bootable.

  Thank you

  You should be able to select the startup disk in the BIOS.  Restoring image shouldn't be a factor.  If the BIOS settings do not work, I would swap the connectors between the readers.

  Good luck

• Satellite U505-SP2017L - driver SATA to install Windows XP

  I need to install Win XP Professional and remove the top home Windows 7 because I can not connect to my domain, but hey tried with several SATA and nothing that another solution would be,

  Thank you

  Hello

  What SATA drivers have you tried exactly?
  Normally, you can download the storage on the Intel Web site manager. Check this box!

  Alternative, go into the BIOS and choose disk HARD Compatible AHCI mode. Then, you don't need an additional driver.
