How to format a 2 TB HDD Windows xp pro

I just bought a Samsung 2 TB 32 MB cache hard drive. I partitioned and wanted to format the entire disk. I had a return of the small part and the rest unused. Do I have to load it a utility from microsoft or another company to perform this task? I searched on the web without success.  Thank you.

How do you partition the disk?  Use the built-in disk management tool to prepare and format the drive.  To start the tool type diskmgmt.msc in the box run from the start menu.

  • Upgrade the hardware of Dell XPS (L521x) how to perform a clean reinstall of Windows 10 Pro

    Hello

    I searched on the internet with the question that I have before doing the upgrade and the re-installation of windows. But the messages and solutions are all scattered. I really want to clear this for me once and for all if possible.

    First of all, the material that I bought for this upgrade:

    1 Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SSD 120 GB (to replace the one 32 GB (factory default)

    2 western Digital Black 750Go Performance Mobile HDD (7200 RPM, 2.5 inches)

    3 Intel (r) Dual Band Wireless - AC 7260 (802.11ac, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi, Bluetooth)

    4. crucial Ballistix Sport SODIMM 16 GB (2x8GB) PC3-14900 CL10 at 1.35v 204 pin memory

    BTW, my Dell XPS 15 L521x has an intel core i7-3632QM and an nVIDIA GeForce GT 640 M. It also comes with 32 mSATA SSD as cache for the WDC 1 TB HARD drive.

    My goal:

    1 install/reinstall Windows 10 mSATA SSD 120 GB and free 500 MB give or take for system reserved partition.

    2. use the remaining space in the C: drive.

    3. use WD Black 2.5 inch 750 GB HHD for cold storage

    4. Remove and reinstall the wireless card Intel Dual Band for a better Wi - Fi compatiability for most routers dual band out there. (Factory default, well, is not great to say the least)

    5. Remove and then install the crucial RAM (compatiable with L521x) is to upgrade memory of my laptop (maybe a little future-proof;) (D).

    Before you start the upgrade, I know I have to do the following steps:

    1. update my BIOS/UEFI. (I did it)

    2 clear accelerated Intel Rapid Start Technology (IRST) GUI (my laptop keeps inviting that "your system does not have any intel repaid with start technology").

    3. change Intel Smart response Technology (ISRT) to AHCI in BIOS

    4 back up my files

    5. my 10 Pro Activation of emergency Windows (how exactly? The Win10 Pro is upgraded to Windows Pro 8.1 with OEM Dell)

    Now my question is what I do or what I've been missing so that what I will meet errors or problems if possible.

    Also, I have heard or seen something on the OEM of Windows version. If I change the hardware, disk files or recovering backup activation does not recognize my device. Is this true? If necessary, I can buy a new version of Win10 Pro retail. But, what I really need to do, and does it perform a not-so-complicated work around?

    Thank you very much

    Dean

    If you keep your motherboard you have no problem taking the other components such as SSDS.

    Your system is already a Pro 10 Windows device.

    Installing clean with 10 Windows installation media Pro TH2 your OEM Pro 8.1 Windows key will be automatically entered to the UEFI BIOS and Windows 10 Pro TH2 automatically reactivates when your systems online.

    As far as I am concerned, if it is genuine hardly important.
    If I bought a used computer, no matter who previously owned the
    first thing I could do with it would be to reinstall the operating
    system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
    which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
    There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone
    other errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc. and I
    would not recommend anyone else to do.

    Your choice of course, but in my opinion, you're playing with fire if you
    do not reinstall Windows properly.

  • Pro Media Center of Windows 8 license is not triggered. How can I make it back to Windows 8 Pro license

    I received a free upgrade license for Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, at the time where they offered.

    I have not noticed that the license is good if active before a date which has since long (a few times in February). The license has been accepted at the entrance and the Media Center software installed, when I went to add new features to Windows 8 (I had already updated the machine to Windows 8 Pro.

    In fact, I don't want to buy the upgrade at this point. How can I make the license back to the old key... which of course, now I can't see.  I bought several upgrades, and you have not installed all, so I don't know how many of those I've not used on other machines upgrade is the one I used on this one.

  • How long for P2V to convert a Windows XP Pro machine?

    I have read the FAQ and can't find a rough estimate of the time to be allocated per GB for a P2V conversion. I need to convert portable en Windows XP Pro 80 from my boss as it moves to a new machine, and he wants to know how long it will take. I have converted the machines before, but I never stand-over to see how long it takes actually. About how long should it take to perform the P2V conversion a 80GB machine? Is there a simple rule like 1 minute per GB or something?

    Converter will find both drives, so there is no additional needs to be done.  Insofar as a book of recipes, the best that I can offer is the User Guide

    Oh another thing... Go to ESX (i) make sure that you replace the drive HARD IDE by SCSI, if in step 3 of the conversion process

  • How do tell you the difference between windows XP pro 32-bit & 64-bit

    I have 2 windows XP pro os. one is green with white writing the other is color gold and seems to change it to move into the light.
    I need to know if it is 64-bit.
    Thank you
    Joe

    The title of the disc should include "64" somewhere, as in

    • Microsoft Windows XP Professional x 64 Edition (most common)
    • Microsoft Windows XP 64 - bit Edition (for computers with Itanium processors only)

    'Gold' that sounds as if it had a hologram - which suggests that it is a real Microsoft CD or at least a very good forgery.

    "Green with white writing" sounds like "recovery" CD to a computer manufacturer.

  • How do you remove 2d copy of window XP Pro in bootcamp without damaging original XP Pro and data?

    Window XP pro in Bootcamp is size of 25 GB of Fusion Activated. By mistake, have also a second copy of Windows XP in Bootcamp is 5 GB. The two files are .vmwarevm. Lack of disk pace only allowed 32 GB size. Must remove copies of 5 GB of Window XP without original damaging with application and data window (25 GB). Error message "Sorry the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 1407) when you try to move to the trash. Help

    You must come to my Guickbooks and payroll.

    That mistake has nothing to do with that said vs "I copied it", "I moved it" and entry into the library of Virtual Machine that shows the error, because there is no longer the path can be removed from the library Virtual Machine.  CTRL-click on the entry for the one who does not work, then select Remove.

    I exempt backup capsal Virtial Machine time under Documents.

    It seems to work.

    I can I have copied in the wrong place because you can't see the file under user/bill/document/virtual machine/folder.

    Not sure if thi is a problem.

    Well, if you are exempted from a folder and package kidnapped virtual is not in this folder, then of course, it is a problem because the packaging of the VM get backed up by Time Machine then I suggest that you correct the situation.

    Under Capssule time I deleted backup for Fusion App in your applications because I assume that the large 27 GB file is there.

    If not, where should I go to stop the time Capsule this large file to backup every hour.

    Why the hell you would make such an assumption!  The beam of Fusion.app from VMware is separate and outside the .vmwarevm Package and files/folders are backed up by using the same relative paths because they reside on the Macintosh hard drive.  The only way that a real Virtual Machine you created would be inside the VMware Fusion.app Bundle is if you put unfairly here.  All you have to do the Virtual Machine library is ctrl - click on the target of the Virtual Machine and select Show in Finder and the ctrl + click the target Virtual Machine package and select information and look where he is.  The last part of what I just said is nothing more basic file management.

    Still no undersyand why it works without Bootcamp and be applied to run the two without having to reboot to move backward. I question the manual I was for level 1 and updated version to version 2 have to be diferent.

    You don't need to use Boot Camp in the VMware Fusion installation order and create normal file based on Virtual Machines.  Boot Camp is part of OS X 10.5 and later versions and is independent and has nothing to do with VMware Fusion, except if you also want to start the native Windows Installer on the Boot Camp partition in a Machine virtual Raw disk.  Take a look at choose settings of VM of law because it might help you understand a little more.

  • How to format a drive which has Windows on it?

    I accidentally installed Windows on two disks and I want to delete one of them, but he says that it cant format that pushes. Can you help me?

    EDIT:
    Sorry, I realized that I can not format the hard drive. Is it possible to change the main hard drive?

    Plug the HD from anywhere that the computer power and the controller to start. Start the machine. As it starts, go into the setup of the BIOS in the usual way. Set the drive connected as assigned from which the system boots. Note that the other drive is not connected. Turn it back on.

    If the system does not start, insert the Windows Vista DVD into the drive. Make sure that the DVD player is set forst in the boot order. Restart the computer. Use the facilities on the DVD of startup repair. This process will result in changes to the bootstrapper. Restart the system.

    It should start.

    After confirm the operation, stop the system and connect the other drive, restart. Now you should be able to delete what you want the HD with the unwanted system.
