• How can I move my operating system to a new hard drive or other solutions, must be the Media Center

  My computer a gateway 815GM Media center PC has become black and start with some gray characters and words back up your data and replace the hard drive is bad. (or similar) My question is how can I move the operating system Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to a new hard drive.  Since the problem is the hard drive and all the computer a new operating system should not be purchased.  If there is no way to move it is it possible Microsoft send a replacement free of charge, or at least OS with only shipping.  My computer came with it pre-installed, and I have not received the drive with the OS on it.  What can I do?  Thank you for your information.

  When you received your entry door, it came with a CD or operating system recovery disc. If you no longer have that (or has not made a recovery disc set a utility included), contact Gateway to buy a set of recovery disks. It is normally fairly cheap. Then install the new hard drive and booting with the recovery disk to restore your computer to the factory State. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• How can I reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive?

  I strongly suspect failure of hard drive on my old computer XPS 420. Data recovery isn't a problem. However, because the way I too lazy to buy a whole new operating system, is possible that I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista on a new hard drive? I told me that Dell will send me an installation disc to do, but how to make a record like this, and is there another way?

  I'm thinking of ghosting the HDD on another and the use of the recovery for nuke partition in a new facility, but it would even work?

  Thank you

  The simplest method, I prefer to install a replacement hard drive, is to clone the existing hard drive to the new, that will also transfer all applications and programs.

  You need an imaging utility, similar to True Image Home 2015.

  http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage

  Acronis resize partitions transferred to match the size of the new hard drive.

  Hard drive manufacturers, also have their own free cloning software available, but it can be used only with their hard drives.
  
  First, install the new drive as the secondary and the image of the main hard drive in it.

  Immediately after the cloning, shut down the system, switch the data cable [SATA port 0] to the new disk, making the new master hard drive and see if the system boots properly.

  Start the system with only the new hard drive connected.

  Be sure to leave the original drive disconnected, until the new hard drive is working to your satisfaction.

  Before cloning a hard drive, make sure that the existing drive has no corruption or virus on it, because they will be transferred to the new hard drive.

  It will take a second SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

  What is obtaining a disc from the Dell operating system Vista OEM [If Dell still copies of this available media], but you can be out of luck unless you have a warranty from Dell, but it's worth a try to see what is happening.

  If you reside in the United States, or the Canada and are the registered owner of the computer, with an active warranty, a disk that contains the operating system specific to your system factory installed can be requested HERE.

  Note: Dell may impose a charge for the disc.

  If you do not live in the United States, contact the Support from Dell, which is located in your country.

  Hello NavarroIT,

  In addition to the previous comments, I have link for HD is not recognized.  It is an external drive.  However, without knowing the manufacturer of your hard drive, you will need to check on this end.  You may need to format the disk first.  I hope this helps.

• How can I know the operating system?

  How do I know what operating system I currently have? Thanks in advance for any information

  Here's a cool way, go to this site and it will just detect it and say you:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/which-operating-system

  But another way is to press on +R on the keyboard, and run the winver command
  When you run it, it will appear a dialog box with your Version of Windows is displayed.

  For a little more detail and modern way, hold and press "Pause/break" of the keyboard.  It will appear a box of more modern.  It's also funny that pressing +Break is the trick to show this :)

• How can I MOVE buttons on taskbar to a new location without having to close all programs and resume in the order I want?

  I like to keep the buttons in my taskbar has organized with the browser and messaging on the left, followed by Windows Explorer and other items. If they get out of order or programs are loaded into a different order, how can I MOVE the buttons to a new location without having to close all programs and resume in the order I want? In addition, sometimes, one of program buttons seems in itself to migrate out of place and I need to get back to where it should be: same problem.

  Hi shohareZohre

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

  The task bar is the horizontal bar at the bottom of your screen time. In contrast to the office, which can get obscured by the windows on top of it, the taskbar are visible nearly all the time. It includes four main sections:

  ·         The Start button, which opens the start menu.

  ·         The Quick Launch bar, which allows you to start programs with a single click.

  ·         The middle section, which shows you what programs and documents you have open and allows you to quickly switch between them.

  ·         The notification area, which includes a clock and icons (small pictures) that communicate the status of certain programs and computer settings.

  Add or remove programs on the Quick Launch toolbar

  The Quick Launch toolbar is located on the task bar and is a convenient way to open programs. You can add or remove program icons in the Quick Launch toolbar so that you have easy access to the programs that you use frequently.

  To add a program icon to the Quick Launch toolbar

  Click the icon for the program to add (you can find most icons of programs on the start menu or the desktop) and then drag it to the Quick Launch toolbar.

  Note: If you don't see the toolbar tools quick launch, right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, click Toolbars, and then click quick launch.

  To remove a program to the Quick Launch toolbar icon

  Right-click on the icon of the program and then click Remove.

  Notes: ·         Delete an icon from the taskbar does not remove its corresponding computer program.

  ·         If you want to stop showing a toolbar on the taskbar, right-click an empty area of the taskbar, point to toolbars, and then click the item that you want to stop broadcasting.

  NOTE: The ability to move the programs in the taskbar is not possible in windows Vista but the same functionality is available in Windows 7. Please see the link below.

• How can I move a data store a single virtual disk shape in a different data store?

  I have a host running vSphere 4 enterprise that belongs to a cluster of Foundation vCenter 5.5.  I need to move all the guests off the coast of this host to be updated. This host has a client that is using the local hard disk as a data store.  This customer has six 6 hard drive with only using the local hard disk as a data store.  How can I move the hard drive to a different data store?

  When I try to use 'Move' or 'Migrate' with vCenter (client or web interface), it seems that I can move only data not store a single entity, each database individually.  Can we move a data store single someway with the guest always under tension, or do I have to power off and manually move the "vmdk" they reattach the hard drive?

  
  

  Thank you

  When you click on migrate, the data store, click on the Advanced button.  It will give you the option to select a disc.  You can migrate it while it is running.

• How can I reinstall the operating system with the recurring kernel panics?

  MacBook 1.1, white, plastic, 2.0/2x1GB/80GB/SD/USB.

  It used a lot, but want to keep going for special purposes.  Get kernel panic/black screen when I try to reinstall the operating system on a blank disc;  deleted before trying to reinstall Lion 10.7.3.  Tried other earlier versions of operating system.  Reinstall the memory chips and ordered new ones as a bet.  Made a "Lion" partition the Middle clone backup FW for my MacBook Pro, but there now El Capitan; window said I have bad installer in MB Pro; Cannot install on this new FW partition, but I don't know if this will help anyway.  Must be HW problem; nothing on the MacBook drive.   Diagnosis I could not complete either.  Impossible to wipe FW with the MB Pro, Lion and other stuff loading to attack the problem of HW?   Don't know how to do in this regard.  A new Disk Warrior 5 and old Tech Tool Pro.  Apple HW Test on the original disc from MacBook will not appear either?   Difficult OB!    Challenge yourself, please!   New mem circuits can do. ??

  So I'll try to attack it from the external hard drive, of course, I have to.   But how to find and eliminate the block HW?   Finally, go ask Apple support.

  It doesn't let me finish any operation!

  According to Mactracker, a Macbook 1.1 is limited to Snow Leopard 10.6, as the new OSX compatible.  Do you mean you had lion (10.7) installed?

  Ciao.
