  How to install two operating systems on a single computer, xp and windows 7... ?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  For the installation of two Windows OS (called Dual Boot), you first determine what exactly the BONES. Based on this, you can proceed to install the oldest operating system first, then installing the latest OS. Here, in your case, Windows XP first and then Windows 7.
  If you change the order, the latest version of Windows will not work correctly.
  In addition, you can use Virtual PC or VMware to use Windows XP in Windows 7. Windows XP Mode is another version of Microsoft which allows you to use Windows XP in Windows 7 through Virtual PC. You can download Windows XP Mode from here:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/Download.aspx
  To install Windows XP Mode, you must have Windows 7 Professional or higher, with hardware virtualization enabled in your PC (you should check in the BIOS of your PC). If you prefer Windows XP Mode, you don't have to install Windows XP in the above mentioned way. It installs like any other program on Windows 7.
  Note that if you have Windows 7 Edition Home Premium or lower edition, you can try Windows XP using Virtual PC/VMware or dual-boot.

  If F9 does not run the diagnostic, then most likely to replace the hard drive.  Once the new drive in place, start the recovery DVD series that was made when the PC was new.  If you do not make them, or they are lost, order a new set of HP.

• Drive hard dead - new drive installed no operating system - XP key for that computer is portable hard disk newly installed?

  Changed the bad disk to another - XP key will transfer fees drive installed and how to make xp on the fresh drive?

  Sure. Just use the XP installation CD you used to install the operating system the first time. Or, if you have an OEM machine with a restore to original image:

  Most of notebooks and OEMs (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

  These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

  Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
  Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• can I install an operating system on my ram?

  I went through a lot of posts on how to do that, people just give fancy words in huge paragraphs, that's the only problem I have not been able to address, I mean, Ive got a lot of things in my pc just by reading a few posts. but this, increasing the operating speed of my pc by like 1000% is too hard to resist, but I've never met a detailed procedure. It would be great if I get a link to a video that comes of showing me how to do the same thing, a break step by step what to do also would suffice.

  Ask yourself, "Can I install an operating system on my ram?"

  Microsoft does not provide a way, or he takes it somehow, to install one of its operating systems to any volatile storage device. This includes RAM any form or configuration.

  For a moment, we suppose you could do: as soon as power was removed from the unit, all contents are lost. So, the installation will have to be repeated the next time you want to use the computer.

  See an overview of what makes setup in place. The Windows DVD is put in the DVD player and Setup copy a base to HD image and preparing it for use. Control passes to the newly created system and a detection phase begins which determines the hardware in the computer uses and assembles a special computer image on the hard drive. The system restarts and uses the custom image. (The actual process may require several reboots and download files from the Internet, if a connection is available). At the end of the installation, there are on the hard drive an image of the operating system working together customized for this computer. Whenever the computer starts, it loads its core working together. How much is loaded depends on the amount of RAM available. Manager windows memory must take into account / meet the requirements of the programs started and run as well as the background as networking, memory of the file transfers to the use of system and application, & c.

  Perhaps you would be worth considering the use of SSD devices or hybrid rather than or in addition to the HDs ordinary.

• Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

  The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman). They told me that I could replace it (it will just keep failing until at last it dies just) but I have to re - install the operating system. The laptop comes with Windows 7 and I upgraded to 8 when it came out (I think). I don't have a recovery disk.

  How can I replace the corrupted hard drive and re-install the operating system?

  If I need to buy Windows 8, where can I find?

  Would it not easier that I left the repair shop handle it?

  Thank you in advance.

• How to deal with operating system windows 8.1 and apps on usb device

  Hi, I have a laptop Lenovo G505. Windows 8 64-bit was preinstalled in it. Later, I upgraded to 8.1. Laptop is almost 9 months and still under warranty. Since a few days, built Lenovo solution Center alert this analysis of hardware detected failures in one or more devices. On suggestion of Lenovo, I ran hdtune pro app in my machine and it also detected 3 hard drive errors. As my machine is under warranty, Lenovo is ready to replace my hard drive with a new one. But they say that it is the responsibility of the customer to return the windows 8.1 operating system and install in the new drive and their liability is limited to the replacement of the hard disk only. I am not computer savvy and I request concerned to guide me how to deal with operating system windows 8.1 on external media like USB, DVD, and install in the new drive. I also installed a number of apps and paid games. Therefore, I would like to resume these games also files so that I need not buy again. Assistance in this regard is required.

  Hello Mohan,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  I can of course understand the situation and will be happy to help with your query.

  Let me ask you;

  • You have the key product for Windows 8 or 8.1?

  You can create an installation media (DVD/USB) for Windows 8.1 and re-install when you want. However, in order to create an installation media for Windows 8.1, you need the product key. If you don't have the product key for Windows 8.1, you can not create installation media.

  You can create the installation media for Windows 8 by using the product key Windows 8 If you have. In this case, install you Windows 8 first and then go to Windows 8.1 through store.

  As far as your paid apps (purchased by store) are concerned, you should be able to install them as soon as you sign in with the same Microsoft Account where apps were purchased.

  You can see the steps indicated by Ronnie Vernon replied on 24 December2013, re - install paid apps.

  You can follow the steps below to create installation media.

  1. Run the program Windows 8.1 configuration or installation of Windows 8 (depending on the availability of the product key for the specific operating system.

  2. When you are prompted to run or save the file, choose run

  3. When you are prompted to enter a product key, enter the 25-character product key, that you received when you purchased Windows 8.1 (or Windows 8).

  4. When you are prompted to install Windows 8.1 (or Windows 8), select install by creating media and then click Next.

  5. Select the type of media you want to use: either a Flash DRIVE or a DVD.

  To create a USB flash drive

  1. Click on the USB flash drive.

  2. Plug the USB key into a USB port on your PC.

  3. When you are prompted, select the USB key that you want to use, and then click Next.

     If you have files on the USB flash drive, it will remove them.

  To create a DVD

  1. Click on the ISO file , and then select the location where to save the ISO file.

  2. Insert a blank recordable DVD into your DVD drive.

  3. Burn the ISO of the DVD file using Windows disc Image burner, or another program DVD burning.

  Note: Ensure that the USB or DVD key that you use has nothing else stored on it and has a sufficient free space to download the Windows 8.1 Installer: about 2.3 GB for the 64-bit version.

  You can also read the article below to create a USB stick recovery.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  Thank you.

• Can someone tell me how to upgrade the operating system on the MacPro?

  I have a MacPro1.1 which works fine, but now I can't use LightroomCC on that because the OS is no longer supported. Can someone tell me how to upgrade the operating system on the MacPro?
