How to install XP on an Acer laptop with Oracle VirtualBox
I try to install XP Home edition on my Acer 2301 XC Travelmate via Oracle VirtualBox, as a virtual machine under Linux Mint 13. My goal is to install a few programs Windows XP on the Acer that not settle with 'Wine' of Linux emulator, for example Adobe Creative Suite 5.
However, I think that the original XP came with the Acer discs are not really bootable - they are more recovery. There were two disks that came with the Acer (see photo). Is there a way to extract an ISO bootable disk #1 image? Or I have to download a file appropriate?

With Recovery of Acer for XP disc 1 reinstall up to 80-90%; After that ends in Acer Disk 2, the resettlement.
You have a line sliding % you showing progression, which does not disappear from the screen when changing the discs after the Acer request that.
And I speak from experience. You do not own an Acer recovery disk Bootable Disk.
Acer has changed their recovery process of XP to the way they do in Vista.

Y at - it a button to activate the webcam on the control panel. Have an Acer laptop with Windows 7. Do not know how to yurn on camera
Assuming that the laptop came with Windows 7 preinstalled, it should be a webcam Acer program. Look in your start > programs menu or visit the Acer website manual for your specific model computer.
If you have installed Windows 7, you will need to get the webcam drivers and software from the Acer Web site. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

How to install W8 Pro FPP on laptop, where it has been installed W7 OEM Home Premium?
and even if I could reinstall this laptop with W7 license as before?See the following topics:
Thanks for the reply, André
but I still confused if I could reinstall my laptop with Windows 7 (where the identical front license) after I installed and try Windows 8 on it?
I suggest that you use the built in recovery tools manufacturers to create a recovery disc or create a system image. I noticed that the upgrade to a later version of Windows can make your inoperable recovery partition.
Creating a system image:

You can use this to easily restore your installation of Windows 7, if you decide to come back.

I want to install Linux OS in my laptop with Windows 7
I use Windows 7 and I want to install Linux OS in my laptop with Windows 7, I want to use the dual boot option (if possible provide a screenshot), how and where do I download Linux. .
You can use the WUBI installer that will install Ubuntu on the C:\ drive without creating a partition or affect your installation of Windows 7. You can rate it and remove it easily in all simply uninstall.
If you want to have it on a physical partition, then you will need to do some preparation:
LINUX: Dualboot Linux and Windows

I suggest before you perform this backup you your installation of Windows 7 to avoid complications:

Another is to test Ubuntu using software such as VirtualBOX Virtualization:

Hello I have a SanDisk micro SDHC 8 GB card and an adapter. I have an Acer laptop with a SD card slot.
My problem is when I put the micro SDHC into the adapter and then put the card into the slot on the laptop, nothing does appear in 'My computer', so the electronics card has not been read.
Anyone know how to make a SDHC card appear in Windows 7
Thanks a lot for your helpThe problem is not Windows 7, this is the card reader in your Acer laptop. It must be able to read SDHC cards. This is different from an SD card. Ancient readers SD do not read SDHC cards - they are incompatible with older players.

You will need the full OEM System Builder License:
There is no full retail version of Windows 8. If you need a full version, you will need to purchase the Pro OEM Windows 8 of new eggs. To do this, install an own custom.
