How do I uninstall the copy of Windows XP

Original title: HOW to UNINSTALL ACCIDENTAL DOUBLE INSTALL OF WINDOWS XP

I accidently reinstalled Windows XP Professional on my Dell Latitude D620 and now starting, I gives me the choice of two operating systems XP Professional or XP Professional.

When I click on the first option, I can connect but do not have access to my old files or programs. When I click on the second option, I get the message:

Quote

"Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check the hardware path and startup disk. "

End of quote

I checked the Windows recovery program, and here, there is no evidence that a single installation, but when I check... My computer - properties - Advanced - Boot notebook... There is an indication of two partitions each containing Windows XP.

I really want to cancel the second installation but can't see how. I tried the system restore, but there is no restore point before the installation of the second.

Either way, with the second installation, I lost the drivers for network cards and a few other drivers.

Thanks a lot for the kind someone help.

  • I want to uninstall the upgrade of windows 7 and go back to Vista.

    This device comes preinstalled with Vista so that I only have the recovery disks that I made when I first set up the computer.  How can I uninstall the upgrade of windows 7 and reinstall Vista?

    BogeyB,

    If you have made a real upgrade (overlay on Vista), you might be surprised.  Click on the computer and open the D Recovery drive.  Open the folder named Recovery. Look at the bottom left corner.

    What is the date of creation?  Mine is from 2007.  I do not superimpose WIN 7 until 2011, but the recovery is still 2007.

    It's actually your full version of Vista recovery... it didn't get deleted or altered, except if you did.

    Hello manjunath25,

    If you want to uninstall programs in Windows XP, go to control panel, add/remove programs, find the program you want to uninstall, then highlight and click on uninstall.

    If you feel that you still have the programs uninstalled in the registry entries, go to a command prompt. Then type regedit. Do a find for the name of the program and then delete the keys as your find.

    Note:

    Change REGISTRY parameters incorrectly peut cause of serious problems only peut

    problems resulting de le configuration of of REGISTRY parameters peut be solved.
    Changes of these parameters are at your own risk.

    If you try to uninstall everything product Antivirus, it is better to go to the manufacturer of the antivirus and download the uninstall tool. Just uninstall these types of programs does not always remove all the registry entries.


    Hope this has answered your questions.

    Hello Bob w. NY

    Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

    As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

    Security How can I remove the copy and paste the files I used?

    I can't get rid of all the e-mail addresses I have copied and pasted.  No matter what I will always appear if I hit paste again.  This is a shared computer and I would rather not have my copy and paste the files stored on the computer, after that I quit.

    Thank you

    Hi Ron,

    You can copy or move information (for example, text and pictures) between files and programs using temporary storage called the Clipboard. The Clipboard is not visible, so even if you use it to copy and paste information, you never actually see the Clipboard when you do this.

    The Clipboard contains a block of information at a time. Whenever you copy information to the Clipboard, the old contents of the Clipboard is replaced by the new information.

    When you shut down the computer everything is stuck in the memory of the Clipboard is cleared.

    Please click the below mentioned link to get an overview of the clip board memory.

  • Windows 7 Build 7601, the copy of windows is not genuine. It has been true for about 3 years already.

    Hello. A week ago, my phone displays a message saying that my Windows is not genuine. I bought the brand new laptop and I installed win7, it was all working fine so far. At first, I thought it was just a bug, so I tried to update, but the updates do not install. I saw in some discussion above to check under my laptop for a joint, but it disappeared and I can't read the number to legitimize my copy of Windows. It also displays a message in the lower right corner indicating "Windows 7 Build 7601, the copy of Windows is not genuine." This question annoys me because it slows down my laptop already slow, and I can't work normally like this. Help, please.

    EDIT: I'm not sure how to find the Diagnostic report that is often required to determine the problem, so no instructions would be useful.
    EDIT 2: I forgot to mention that I've scanned with 3 different anti-virus, I think they have removed all the malicious files, I had, which was maybe 2 files of average risk. Scanned with Norton, ESET and Kaspersky.

    Computers HP recovery partition come preloaded will allow you to create a set of restore disks from Hp that can be used to retrieve all software of origin in case of major problem by tapping the key F10 or F11 permanently when the PC is first boots to the top. However, there may be times when the recovery disks are needed to restore the PC.

  • How do I uninstall the program "Utilities" since the Satellite A210

    How can I uninstall the program "Utilities" since the Satellite A210. In Control Panel I can uninstall the program "Value Package" but not "utilities".

    With the A210 I can't work with the FN keys and on a German Toshiba support website I found this information:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0402UR0000R01DE.htm

    So I'll try this installation sequence:

    -Chipset utility
    -Display driver
    -Toshiba value added package V1.2.40
    -Technical support utility Flash Cards for Satellite L500 (see this thread, why I want to do):
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46135&TSTART=7
    -V1.0.25.5C Toshiba-Utilities
    and no doubt
    -Installation of V2.00.09 equipment

    I hope that the FN keys will work after this installation sequence.
