How can I assign a 'C' drive to make it bootable?
I try to install Windows XP on a disk recently wiped a update on my HP Compaq nc6400.
When installing Windows XP will ask you where to install Windows. This should normally be the "Unallocated" space not partitioned / unformated drive. Once installation is complete XP automatically assigns C: partition where XP is installed.
As long as your drive is not formatted (not partitions or other versions of Windows installed) you should not have a problem.

When I replaced a hard drive, I wanted the same drive letter, but he wants me to take another. How can I assign the drive letter, that I replaced. The letter is now used by another device?
Open disk management, find the drive using the drive letter you want to use, change the drive letter of this to 'Z', find the new drive, change the drive letter that you want, and then change the drive letter of the drive you have labeled it 'Z' to a drive letter of your taste.

How can I get my external drive be mapped to F: (as he was once) rather than g: which is what happens when I turn on now. I tried to unplug and power, reboot etc. There is no F: drive connected to the computer.
Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / "disk management and select external reader by clicking on it and then right-click on it and select change drive letter and paths." It should show the letter currently assigned (G I guess). Click the button change. To the right will be a drop of drive letters box. Go ahead and select F and click on OK. That should do it. If F is not available, then it is used by the system for something else. Check disk management to see if you can find it. If it is not, and is not available in the list, I'm afraid, you will not be able to change until find you what is using drive letter F and remove it, or change it to something else.
I hope this helps. If this isn't the case, after return and we will try to understand what is using F or why it is not available.
Good luck!

How to reinstall Vista
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Hello
So it does not start from the disc, but when you get to the part where it asks me to choose a disk to install Windows, you do not see something here, is that correct? Go to the menu of the Bios (tap button "F2" at startup to access the Bios), then Advanced and check what you show for the SATA/operating Mode option.

I have 3 radio button options to choose, but I want only a certain one for calculating sales tax. How can I assign a calculation to an option button?
Ok. Let's say the name of the radio button group is "Radio1", the value of exports in this field is '3', the name of the subtotal is "Subtotal" and tax rate is 16%. You can use this code as the custom calculation of the tax field script:
Event.Value = (this.getField("Radio1").valueAsString == "3")? Number (this.getField("Subtotal").valueAsString) * 0.16: 0;

How can I assign access to 950 members?
How can I assign access to 950 members of the dimensions to different groups of users by using a method not GUI?
I'm working on Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.3 and tried to attribute access for 950 members in a dimension for different groups of users.
I tried the method of GUI (size section-> assign access->...) after 190 members I abandoned it and thought there must be a better way.
