Have an Acer which need a reinstall, but I don't want to use the recovery partition.
Basically, Acer for a reason any installed this copy of windows with a buttload of bloatware, used FAT32 instead of NTFS, and added a recovery partition which literally takes half of the hard drive. No physical reinstall disk, of course.
What I am wanting to do is to install a new copy of the same version of Windows from a vanilla install disc, but I did not posses disc. My questions are:
1 - ordinary copy, non - OEM activate again using the old product key?
2. is it legal to download an .iso of the Setup from somewhere disk to install it? (If not, I might be able to locate a friend with a copy...?)
Anti-malware programs are a good tool to use, but they are not 100%.
About file system conversion, see these two pages:
http://www.NTFS.com/quest3.htm
http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/ntfscvt.php
Since you already have a safe way to reinstall XP, I just do it. No need to download the .iso that could end does not properly.

I want to use Outlook Web Access for Mac (snow leopard 10.6.8), I don't want to use the light version, I want the full version but I can't push off the mark on the light version. I have firefox 3.6.10
(1) you must update at least Firefox 3.6.24 because there are questions of SECURITY of KNOWN MANY with the version you are using.
(2) the light version is required on non - IE browsers, except if you are running Exchange Server 2010. With Exchange 2010 they added support for multiple browsers run in the version "no light".

I need to use the recovery partition to restore my OS to its original state. I'm getting crashes (invaded by "dumprep.exe" CPU cycles) and an occasional BSOD.
What brand is your computer? Some computer manufacturers, including Dell and HP, have a recovery partition on the hard drive of the new computers. By pressing a special key combination when the computer starts, you can use the recovery partition to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new. Looking for a message about the recovery options on the first screen that appears.

Hi premkumar2k11,
Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows Server forum.

I have Windows XP. I have a flash drive with many files that I have on my second hard drive. I just it copies the files that I have on the hard drive and I don't want to have to sit and answer 'yes' or 'no' question about the replacement of files each time that it recognizes a file duplicate. How do I do that?
When you see this double prompt or not, are there not a checkbox that says something like "Always do this for all files" or something in that sense?You can manually copy the files. Here is the CTRL key while you click the files you want and then just drag them to the location on the HARD drive. -
I recently had to replace the hard drive in my desktop PC. After you have reinstalled, I set up the network to connect to my laptop. I created a password of the UAC on both computers.
I activated ptected password sharing on two PCs.
Now when I try to access the network on a pc, a dialog box asks me to enter the network password. I walked into the UAC password erro and to get that connection is not valid.
If I disable password sharing each PC is visible to another on the network.
I prefer to use password protected sharing just as extra protection.
I must have a parameter simple activation/deactivation. Can anyone help.

Unfortunately there is no way to prioritize the networks if that's what you're looking for. If you want on the other, you might forget the network and join them later as you wish.

Do I need to buy this type of card adapter to run wireless or are there other models Atheros card I can use or would it be better to buy a usb wireless adapter.Thank you juan
Hello
You can purchase a USB WiFi key.
These sticks are cheap and easy to use!If your Wlan router would support WLan 802. 11 B/G or N then I recommend buying a USB WLan stick that favourable two WiFi G and N standards
802.11 N standard is the most recent and you would get the fastest connection using 802.11 N.But like I said; It depends on your WLan router
