How do I repair/recharge the Boot Manager for Win XP without the OEM disks?

I have an IBM Thinkpad G41 with a configuration dual-boot for awhile. I am donating to the laptop at my church and must remove Linux (don't ask) and make XP installed OS only.
The problem is that I need rebuild/repair Manager start Windows from the installation of Linux successor whit its own boot manager (Grub).
I have not the disc XP OS then where can I find the Boot Manager or the files that I need to reload/reconstruction.
XP fills the primary partition on the HARD drive.
While I can let it load Linux installed it would be useless to anyone and just takes place.

Thank you.

    the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily.right now my external backup just my computer that isn't doing me good

    original title: external hard drives

    You don't want to change your external drive to your main drive.

    You can move your music files on the external drive - or you can move other data on the disk to make room for your music on the internal drive.

    What applications do you use to play music?

    As described in the first link below, you can move your full "My Documents" folder on the external drive.  Alternatively, you can simply move your music files.  If such an arrangement would give you a satisfactory performance, however, depends on how your external drive is connected (for example, USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA, Firewire, network) and other hardware features of your computer.

    Not all of the following conditions will be applied to you, but some of the tips can be useful.

    There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to your external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on the external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
    • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)
    • See also:

    " How to recover disk space on Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP computers? ."

    " Forty ways to free disk space ."

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.

  • How do you know if the hard disk controller is damaged or it does not work?

    Hello

    I would like to know how you can know if the hard disk controller is defect.  is there some tools for it or a way to test it.

    I have thouthg my self for a solution like this;

    -If I take the hard drive that is not working out pc and attach it to the speaker and the speaker set on a PC then I wil first hear the rotation of your drive hard so that when the PC wil recognizes the external hard drive as a hard disk and then the controller is OK, otherwise it means that the controller is damaged.

    . I know mechanical problems with a hard disk, they do some sounds when they turn.

    is the way I think it is the right way to know or there is much better way to find out if there is a problem with the hard disk controller.

    Thank you

    Small circuit board is an interface for cables that sorts what is happening in the place where. It holds the drive buffer and it tells the computer what it is, i.e. drive, speed, brand, model, size etc.

    If you get an error of hard disk controller, it's a motherboard problem and there is no way to fix it.

    Hard drives fail for two reasons...

    1. The platters inside are deteriorating to the point where they are no more able to maintain the structure of the sector/cluster.
    2. The spindle motor breaks down.

    The part of a disk hard less likely to fail is the interface card, unless he is accidentally cut on the computer case or other metallic surface. If this short, you will know that the smoke resulting hard disk is acrid beggars belief. It is almost the only case where the interface will fail.

    Even when a hard drive is subjected to temperatures beyond its limits, the spindle motor bearings will fail way before anything else, that's why the vast majority of the disk hard total fails is obvious because there is no vibration of the engine.

    If a hard drive starts to cause problems, it is best to replace it because it will always get worse over time...

  • How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

    How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  • How to delete files on the recovery disk?

    I'm running out of space on my recovery disk.  I noticed that the compress and the index of the boxes are both checked.
    I would like to know what to do and how to delete files on the recovery drive.

    Thank you for your help.

    It is very unwise to delete these files, because it is your ONLY way to recover your PC in the event of catastrophic problem with the operating system that cannot be repaired by returning your PC to set up "out of the box.  In fact, most of the PC with a recovery partition you cannot save data on that partition.  If you are still determined to do the easiest to remove these data is boot safe mode with command prompt.  Set up the focus on the recovery partition and delete everything form the command line.  I'm not trying to be insulting, but if you don't know how to do that you probably shouldn't be remove your data from the recovery Partition because without falling back on you should have to be pretty savvy to reload Vista and install all the drivers on your own.  Locutys of Borg

  • How to recover files from the hard disk recovery partition?

    There are recovery (D) on the hard disk.  How can I recover all my old files and programs of this drive?

    Original title: I changed from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 operating systems.

    Hello sdf361,

    The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
    that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
    your programs since the original installation discs.

    If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.

  • Satellite Pro A210 - how to retrieve it with the recovery disk lost?

    I had some problems with my individual Pro A210 (AMD Athlon 64 x 2, Vista, 120 GB of HDD, 2 GB of RAM), and it seems that I did the recovery disks when new and you have misplaced them.

    What can I do?

    The hard disk should have a recovery Partition.

    Try holding down the zero (0) key when you turn on the laptop, this should start the recovery process.

    If this does not work, press F8 rapidly after the Toshiba start screen to enter in the Windows Start menu, where you can choose to run the recovery/restore.

  • How to increase space in the ASM disk groups?

    Hi all

    I'm a newbie DBA in my team and today morning received an alert of OEM which:

    Message = disk group DATA requires rebalance because at least a disk space is low.

    Any solution?

    To fix this, you can run this command: Alter diskgroup ASMDB add drive "here, the way of the new disk" Rebalance power 4 WAIT;

  • How to associate comments on the logical disks disks?

    I can't find an association that can tell me what hosts disks (c:, d:, e :) is the logical disk 1, 2, etc.

    For example I have the configuration:

    1 logical drive has partitions c:, d:

    Logical disk 2 has e: partition

    Logical disk 3 has partition f:, g:

    Is there information?

    Thank you

    Tomas

    Hi Tomas.

    Mapping of the disks in comments to logical drives is not possible through the vSphere API, since only api vSphere only works for the virtual machine and not on the invited inside the virtual machine operating system. You may like to refer to the VDDK API, through which you can get information of the volume for each hard drive. You can also refer to the VIX API, which is not particularly necessary operations within the guest operating system of a virtual computer.

    I hope this info helps!

    Thank you

  • Motherboard fried; replaced, but the OEM disks don't reload Windows Vista

    How can I do or what number to call to get reloaded Vista.  I have two computers even.  HP Pavilion a6300f.  Both are about 2 years old and all original.  In November 2009, the motherboard on one of two computers went wrong.  In December, the other motherboard has gone bad.  I bought a new motherboard for the first and reloaded all the original hard disk, fan, CPU etc. etc.  Tried to use the OEM recovery disk, but he would not allow it.  I would like to be able to challenge the two machines, re - install windows vista and then move to W7 to correspond with my new computer... but I can't get Vista to recharge.

    Any ideas on who to call at Microsoft?  It seems to me that I should be able to reinstall Vista and then do what I want to do.

    It's nothing to do with Microsoft.

    You use HP recovery media.

    You will need to contact them about problems with their recovery media.

    You have changed the motherboard and their OEM recovery disks include drivers for the motherboard of origin for your model computers.

    Contact HP:

    See you soon.

  • How to install Vista from the recovery disk without defining partitions?

    Hello

    I have my recovery disk and I have installed a new 320 gb HHD.
    When I installed the recovery disc, it re done the 160 GB partitions in each (2 partitions more the 1 recovery partition)...

    But I want to dual boot with XP pro because of software problems and I prefer it sometimes...
    I redid my scores, 1 - 51 GB for XP pro(32bit), 2nd - 51 GB for vista (32 gb) and the 3rd - 210 gb is for storage

    How to install with Toshiba vista o/s and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disc, immediately to the 2nd partition without affecting how I configure the hard drive...

    I have about 100 GB of photos, music, and cam vids on storage, with nowhere to put them, so I can't risk, because some are copy only (so it might be a good idea to let me know how I save this s on my storage spread in the DVD please)

    If I can t, then can some1 please tell me how to get my Toshiba OEM vista off this recovery disk or a link for me?

    Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you

    If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

    Return to your partitions.
    When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
    WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
    -C for Vista partition
    Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

    Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

    So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
    -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
    -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

    That's all I can say from my experience with such things.

    You can edit profiles.ini to hand, or you can use the Thunderbird Profile Manager to make the changes.
