Hi I need help to uninstall Windows xp by using the F keys.
My question is the same as above, I can not understand how to uninstall windows xp with the F keys or if I should go to Mode without failure before I can do like that please help me. I checked the places of response and they tell you a whole different way in this way and I tried but it won't work. I also tried to restore my computer back before that I was thinking when I got the Virus, but that only goes so far I'm crazy to go. Please help me I need my computer for work.
Thank you very much Thank you
auntsands50,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum. I need to get the details on your situation. You say that you want to uninstall XP? It will be the only way to install another operating system or use a program that will allow you to erase the hard drive. You mention that you got a virus and you tried to do a restore.
So my question is what are you trying finally to accomplish? Do you want to just get a virus on your system or you want to wipe the drive and reinstall XP.
If you want to remove a virus, then here is a link to a program free antivirus that you can use to help clean your system: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/
If you want to restore your system to factory default then you will need to boot from your XP cd or use the OEM solutions provided with your PC. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316941 Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

Tecra R850 with Windows WXP - cannot use the FN key
Hello
On a Tecra R850, I can't use the FN key. I installed all the drivers for toshiba and they does'nt work
Help
Thank you
Hello
All this is a bit complicated with WXP and it is important to install everything in the right installation order. After some base such as chipset, display and sound drivers you need to install the common modules at the beginning and continue with Toshiba-specific tools and utilities like controls, screen, energy saving and so on.
You can use a combination of FN keys or none of them does not work?

Need help with uninstalling Windows 8 on Dell Inspiron 531 PC.
Help! Install Windows 8 on my PC without saving Vista (mainly because I thought that I would never use it again). However, absolutely, I hate Windows 8 and want to reinstall Vista but I can't find the installation disk that came with my PC. Is there another way, I can do?
Reference Dell will send the owner original diskettes for installation in the United States. There may be a small fee. You can even borrow a Dell vista reinstall the disk of the same version and use your own key. It's on a small sticker on the tour.

I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive. So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process. It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!
I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk. My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay. I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
Here are my system specs:
Presentation of the material:Model name: MacBook Pro
Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2
Processor name: Intel Core i7
Processor speed: 2.8 GHz
Number of processors: 1
Total number of cores: 2
(By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB
L3 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s
Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11
Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17
What I tried (from what I remember):
I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer. It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.
If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.
So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs. I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.
If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!
Thank you
If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

I need help to retrieve my hard drive using the recovery of Neosmart disk (it takes days)
To get a better perspective, I'll tell you the history of what has gone wrong.
What happened is that the computer has a virus and it changed some coding on the computer. When this happened to that my computer wouldn't let me enter my account and the only account that I could go on was the administrator account. I tried on a few websites and the other microsoft Web sites told me to do something with the command userinit or something like that, which led to the black screen of death that I managed to fix it on my own.
Another website told me to use the recovery disk but like a lot of people that I don't have a recovery disk, I only had a reinstallation disk that said I could fix the computer, but it would delete all hard disk that I didn't, I need the intact files because they are important to my family.
Then I discovered on the recovery disk that you can buy from Neosmart.com and this disc is made like the original Vista recovery disk. Anyway I bought it and I clicked on "Automatic repair" and it comes up with 2 dives eligible for recovery (it says at the top) a player is 10 GB and the other is 288 GB (it says active is the 288 GB we) I clicked on repair automated on one of them, but I don't remember. Apparently fixed it (coding I guess) and I restarted but no consideration was there. He says "Please wait" for a long time, then it comes up with a single account that says "User" I click it and it says user name and password you will need to connect to a computer at school or something. I put my username and password anyway and it does not of course and it comes up with "the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.
So, I went back on the recovery disk and I so I click on system restore to get my stuff back and I can put it on a previous date until the virus has arrived and I click on it, then it is said that his recovery, files, but just like that, I let him recover and he was recovering for 3 days before I came on this site and tried something but it did not work. Like I said before it is 288 GB so I guessed it would take a long time to recover only the amount of data, but it seems just silly.
Could someone please help me with this with words that I can identify the disk recovery Neosmart.com please
Important additional information
I said before that I don't remember what I have fixed drive, the thing is that there might be I have set the wrong drive, but to be honest at this point, I feel like if I do a movement without knowing what it will do, im going to lose what's on that hard drive
Important files are not for work, they are files containing family photos of many years we couldn't print on paper of good quality printing. There is no other copy of these pictures and I really want to keep them, even with my parents.
The recovery of Neosmart disk contains the following options
- Auto repair
- Score editor
- Browse/Backup of files
- Internet browser
- Launch the command line
Within the Automated repair is where you can get the system restore. The others you can kind of guess, if you want to know so just ask.
Help, please
Thank you
To recover the photos, you can remove the drive and it slave on another computer (you can get very cheap external envelopes) and remove your data (you have just learned an important lesson in why you need to have backups).
Once you have saved your data, your best bet would probably be to reinstall. A good Web site for the removal of malicious software is that one.

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.
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"

Re: Unable to activate Windows Vista Business using the Microsoft key
I am facing difficulties to activate the microsoft package, whenever I enter the product key printed on the label attached to my pc, it says wrong key.
Help, please.The key to Microsoft, that you can find on the lower side of your laptop is not a kind of universal key and this key belongs to Vista preinstalled on your laptop. You got your laptop with Vista preinstalled. With your laptop, you have paid a license and an operating system.
After recall of Toshiba you must create Toshiba Recovery DVD or this facilities you can use if often you want with your laptop. This version of Vista belongs to you and can only be used with your laptop.
If you are using Microsoft facilities DVD you must have the key for this version. If you do not, you must purchase a key online and activate a preinstalled Vista version.
