• had to install the new operating system and bookmarks are gone

  Hiya. I had problems with the computer and the fix was to install a new operating system (windows 7 it was old, windows 8 is the new). Most of my old files make the switch, but when I downloaded firefox, my favorites have disappeared. I looked in my profile in the menu, but it's the profile that I created today by downloading firefox. Where can I find my old profile? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Billy

  Was this an upgrade of type "on the spot" where your user folder

  C:\Users\youroldusername\
  

  was intact, or did you end up with a new user folder? In the case of a new user folder, you will find a folder named

  C:\Windows.old\Users\youroldusername\
  

  If so, your Firefox data are probably here - and here's how I suggest to access:

  First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

  Then click in:

  Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

  Note: there is a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

  Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably one you want to restore.

  This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect these data in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

  https://support.Mozilla.org/questions/1024189#answer-638319

  A little luck?

  Note that if you really ONLY want to bookmark, copy the last two backups of the old bookmarkbackups folder to a location such as the desktop, see the following article (you will use 'Choose file' in the menu to access these backups): restoring bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Note that this process will replace all new bookmarks that you may have saved since installing Firefox again. If you need to preserve those, first use the export feature: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks.

• HP Pavilion 550-055na: new disk will not install the new operating system

  Hello

  I bought a new HP Pavilion 550 - 055na with Windows 8 a month or two ago but want to use Windows 7. However, I decided that I will keep the hard, the PC came with, and have the option of Windows 8 in future if I want. So, I'm installing Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  My problem is that the new copy of Windows 7 will not install on my new hard drive.  I get:

  Violation of secure boot

  Invalid signature detected. See the policy in the configuration of secure boot

  Then me to a black screen after I pressed Enter/Ok, who said the following.

  Check the presence of the media...

  Media present...

  On IPv4 PXE boot.

  If I press F12 on power on, I get a blue box asking me to select a boot device. The only options are:

  Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller IPv4
  

  Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller IPv6

  and the output by using the arrow keys

  How to change the secure boot strategy?  If I do, it means that I can install my 7 can I on my new hard drive? Also, providing that I do, I always will be able to use my Windows 8 OS drive after changing the secure boot strategy?

  Any help would be appreciated to greately.

  Sincere greetings

  Hello:

  You have to enable the legacy mode and disable start-up secured in the BIOS to be able to install and run W7.

  Please see this link to find out where these settings... this references adding a video card, but this is how you change the settings no matter why you need to change.

  I recently bought a laptop G62-a31so and it came with windows 7 x 64, from the beginning, it could not start most of the programs, they would break everything simply, I got the idea I want to install windows vista on, which works well with my previous PC, I planned to create discs of recovery beforehand, but I couldn't be bothered when I discovered he required 4! DVD-s and it says in your manual that I can recover my system at any time of the partition. So I formatted the partition that has windows 7 on it before and installed vista, then I discovered that you have some drivers vista for this laptop, I tried to return to the status quo by the recovery of the partition, you press ESC on startup, then f11 in boot menu, but he started just vista.

  I would like to know how I could restore my system to factory settings now?

  You can try this, which works for many people (not all) >

• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

  Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
  Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  If I buy windows 8 (any OS windows) now and install in my computer and after a year when I change my computer, can I install the SAME operating system in the new computer?

  You can if you buy a commercial box full of Windows 8 version.

  If you buy a computer with Windows preinstalled, or a version OEM of Windows 8, 8 No, you can't.

  If you buy a version upgrade, you can, as long as the new computer has a licensed version earlier of Windows on them.

• How can I download and install the latest version of Safari without having to install the current operating system?

  I just bought a MBP of 2013 (MacBookPro) renovated with OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) and want to update my Safari (version 7.0.5) the latest version of Safari. I tried to download Safari from Apple's site, but he said that I would also install the current OSX (10.11 El Capitan) as well. I want my MBP to stay on OSX 10.9 (because it is the last operating system that supports Adobe Creative Suite CS6).

  Can someone advise me on where I can download ONLY the last Safari?

  Thank you

  Steve

  You cannot run the last Safari on Mac OS 10.9.

  It requires the latest Mac OS (10.11)

  You can create a new partition and install the latest OS above and use it.

  Then the Mavericks partition boot when you want to use Adobe Creative Suite.

• Get the old hard drive to work on the new processor

  I am a PC Tech company with problems on PC at home.

  My Win 7 Home Premium Dell Studio T435/9000 dead.  It was a motherboard problem, I chose not to replace the CPU/Mo with a duplicate.  The hard disk MBR is good, I could read it and when I installed in an Optiplex 990 at work, it is initialized.

  I had the chance to receive a new Dell T5610 with 2 CPUs of a parent.  It came with professional Win7 preinstalled on an SSD, UEFI boot on a GPT disk.  But all my apps are absent and even a rat-pack obsessives like me do not have all the CD and install the files for the various applications on the old hard drive.

  I want to use my old hard drive on the new PC, then after that it's stable, migrate the old hard drive to the SS disc supplied with the PC.

  First problem was to learn the differences between MBR and GPT.  After this was learning that Home Premium does not work on a PC with two separate processors.  I use Win7 professional for that.  With the help of this forum, I was able to do this by using the Optiplex 990.  I run Win7 Professional on the Optiplex 990.

  I take the former home of hard disk go BIOS to legacy.  Old hard drive that boots on 990, does not start on T5610.

  I try various advanced options, safe mode, low-resolution video, nothing works.  I get a BSOD is a hard drive error, STOP 040000007 B.

  I try Startup Repair tool and get the following:

  Problem event name

  Offline Startup Repair

  1 6.1.7600.16385

  2 6.1.7600.16385

  5 Autofailover

  6 1

  7. bad driver

  6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 OS version

  Locale 1033

  How can I get my old hard drive to work with the new processor.  Is it a question of Dell, a Win7 Office.  As the hard drive starts up successfully on another CPU, I believe that the hard drive is good.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Thanks to you all.  But the solution was completely different.

  Dell said the motherboard on the accuracy was so different from my old PC that unless I reinstalled Win7 Professional from scratch on the old hard drive, motherboard would not work with the old hard drive.

  They have guaranteed that the old hard drive would work on a 8700 XPS.  After some problems, I managed to do the work.  Problem solved.
