  I have a PC with Vista, I tried to install Windows XP, it was rejected, and now I don't have an operating system

  Bruce,

  Do you remember if you wanted to do a new installation or had you partitioned your hard drive to install it in a dual boot with Vista?

  If you do not have a BONE now it sounds lik evous was the first choice that clears your current installation.

  You need to reinstall Vista from your original media to recover your system if this is the case.

  Unfortunately, if this is what you choose, you have lost all the data that was on your hard drive as well.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad new possible.

  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (winodws.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

  If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services. Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com http://www.activewin.com

• Please choose which operating system to start: (timer on)

  When I start it, I get a black screen with white text, asking me to choose a system to start - and a countdown timer.

  I have two identical choices (identical wording - Microsoft Windows XP... for this purpose). By selecting the first load my Windows XP. The second seems to load an earlier version and invite you to select Admin or (other) user. Selection of a user for the second version is not let me go. There is no program or OS this backup. I want to know is, how can all I eliminate the second choice. It causes no problems, I just want it tidy.

  I added this to the previous answer;

  If you're on sp3 follow these steps:

  1. go to start, my computer, local disk, right-click on the boot.ini file, click Properties, ensure the read only checkbox is disabled, if necessary press on apply, ok, ok

  2. now, double-click it to open the boot.ini file (should open in Notepad)

  3. first of all, go to file, select Save, save it somewhere you can find it as your desktop or in your documents,

  then revert to the original and edit it by removing the line:

  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ fastdetect / noexecute = OptIn
   
  Save and close.
   
  Open the file and check to see if it says this:

  A simple example of type

  [boot loader] timeout = 30 default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS [operating systems] "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ fastdetect

   
  3. If so close and restart, you should have no possibility to choose that starts now.

  I tried to use system restore, but he says he has not found a moment of restoration which is good.

  The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files on the computer.  I still have another computer to use, so I'm not so worried about starting the computer.  I want to find a way to the first backup of my personal data and files from the computer to external devices, then try to repair the computer.

  Thank you.

  Hi DreamMeng,

  You can try to use third party software to back up data and check.

  You can use your favorite search engine to navigate on the third-party data backup software and that the software allows to save data.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  You can also make contact with the Local Techshop for assistance to the protection of the data.

• Can I have - 2 operating system installed and running in two partitions of hard drive to my desktop computer?

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (a copy of the license), preloaded in my office by DELL from 20/02/2007. Before that from July 2002, I was with Windows XP Professional Pack 1 with fireplace (a copy of the license of the version DT. 25 October 2001). Because I have to go to another State for a new job, I gave the IBM Office to my friend. But the CD with operating system Windows XP pack1 is lying idle with me. I want to install the same in another partition of the hard disk to present Desktop DELL. I have partitioned my hard drive in the goal - C:\ and D:\. Now, I want to know, before you proceed further - is my scheme is feasible? The two O.S. will work in two separate partitions with regularly updated? I visited the "historical update file" and I noticed that Windows XP Professional Pack2 and Pack3 has been downloaded one installed in the system. I will give you more time using Windows XP Professional if loaded correctly in D:\ because it is more compatible with my professional needs. I invite suggestions from my learned friends.

  Thanking you in advance,

  SONIA.

  Hello

  This is the link I gave you.

  http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-1946.html

  And I have no problerms getting there.

  Www.syschat.com you give links to their chat rooms.

  On an XP Pro disk, you need to ask a computer repair workshop all the copies they might have. Microsoft sells more XP

  Here is another link to dual boot Vista and XP:

  http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm

  There are options there for dual boot the other way around.

  See you soon.

• I let someone use my computer and somehow they ended up formatting my hard drive, so now I have no operating system. If windows are not coming how can I fix.

  Your best option is to try to reinstall Windows 7:

  If Windows 7 is pre-installed:

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often 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.
  ------------------------------------
  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  If you have a retail copy of Windows 7 installed, use your reinstallation disk to perform a new installation:

• Select the operating system to start

  I just upgraded my Dell Dimension E310 from Windows XP to Windows 7 and there is only one question. Whenever I start my computer just after the Dell Logo I get a screen which requires me to either select the "previous operating system" or "Windows 7" - I select Windows 7 and everything works fine. ".  I deleted the "Old Windows" files to save 29GB of storage space and of thought that would also clear the splash screen, but it's still there.  Is there a way to disable this screen?

  Thank you

  George

  Never mind - found this and it worked

  Do a right click 'My Computer' go to 'Properties', click on the "Advanced" tab click on the 'Settings' button under 'Startup and recovery' section choose the choice of OS you want TO boot into virtue uncheck the "default operating system" section 'System startup' box "Time to display list of operating systems" click on 'Ok' your done! , next time you reboot the system, it won't give you the boring OS choice menu! IF you chose the wrong pair, don't panic, you can simply press F8 in the boot process and there is an option to select the choice of os.

  Hello Mandypoole,

  As you physically remove the laptop there is every chance that the hard drive has been damaged. This can also be the cause of the hum, but the buzz can also be something else. Your best course of action is to take it to a repair shop for them to watch.
