How to obtain a backup copy of Windows XP due to move on to another PC

My PC Gateway 2002 recently 'died' because the hard drive crashed and I moved to an iMac and recently installed "Parallels" to allow me to run Apple applications and Windows.  My original CD of Windows XP operating system has been damaged which prevents me from installing Windows XP.

If you are referring to a gateway OEM Windows XP CD, it cannot be installed on a different computer anyway.

  • How to make a backup copy of my Sansa Fuze 2 GB

    Hello! Can someone tell me how to make a backup copy of my Sansa Fuze 2 GB. I'm going to replace because the wheel is not working properly and I ask (the agent on the Technical Support) on all my music that I have on my MP3 and they tell me to make a copy, but whenever I downloaded on Windows Media Player, I can listen to, but as soon as I disconnect my MP3, I can't play anymore. Can someone help me please, I don't want to lose all my music. Or as a matter of fact again downloaded (too many site to visit again)

    You can manually copy your music from the device to the computer using Windows Explorer, often referred to as 'My Computer' or just 'computer' in different versions of Windows by drag-and-drop, or open the Windows Media Player and "copy of the device" after clicking on the tab sync.

    It is also possible to copy works by using an application like Media Monkey too.

    Many people confused if the Sansa was initially loaded using never WiMP, many are realizing that the application works in both directions.

    Remember, it is important to always have a backup of your music!  It will save you grief!

  • How to make a backup of my Windows Vista?

    Hello.

    Windows Vista has been installed on my Toshiba laptop when I bought it.

    How to make a backup of my Windows Vista and I need to?

    Can I do a backup on a CD, or how?

    I think I have to need if I get a virus and you need to remove and install from the beginning.

    Thanks by

    Hello

    I think that it s a good idea to make a backup on your laptop.

    You have created the Toshiba recovery disks? When you bought a Toshiba laptop, you must create these disks. If you have a virus or something else with these discs, you can get the factory settings on your laptop.

    You can create discs with the Toshiba recovery disc creator and if you didn t again, you get the following message:

    > Important INFORMATION
    >
    > your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair
    > your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly
    > drive hard (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer"

    > Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the
    > Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer

    So create one and if you need, you can get factory settings with Windows, drivers and tools in minutes.

    If you want to make a backup of your laptop with all the software that was installed by you, you must use programs such as Acronis True Image backup.

    Bye!

  • Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

    Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

    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.

    Hi stanulg1952

    Must not be a copy... In case your system crashes, you can download it again...

    Otherwise, you can write on an optical disc and use it in the future... But make sure you keep the installation files on the disk, not one that are there on your desktop after installtion

    Kay

    Yes, it looks like this.

    its been a while for me that I dealt with iso files.

    However, I would try to just copy this file (like) on the CD.    then in the future, copy him on the hard drive to install msaccess, if necessary.

    but just in case, the foregoing does not (or if this is the case) can also use the methods described here:

    http://www.Petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm

    so, it would not hurt to keep a couple of disks for each method above.

    also, I learned that our House in discs last as long as commercial.  in order to have a number of CDs for the costly program is a good thing to have.   store one of them inside an old bood to keep out the light.

  • How can I fix "this copy of windows is not genuine" build 7601, windows 7

    There are many moons, I decided to download windows 10, I didn't like it and came back to windows 7.  I got this in the bottom right of my screen, "this copy of windows is not genuine" build 7601.

    I looked on this site and found that everything I had to do was, go to start, type cmd, by ensuring that its in the administration, then I type SLMGR - REARM - but I got a dialog box displays indicating "has exceeded the maximum number of rearm, you must reinstall the OS before trying to rearm again."

    I do not know what is the OS, and how is he said I reset too often when I don't?

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
    Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.

  • How to install a clean copy of windows 7 recovery CD dv7-4277nr

    I want to install a new copy of windows 7 on my laptop. I created the recovery disks and how to use them, but think they will go back to my laptop for out of the box configuration.

    what I want is to install windows 7 and only the programs that I currently use. This laptop is too bloatwear. Heck it runs 90 processes. My boyfriend's laptop runs 40 some after a clean install.

    I did not buy the $19 installation media and think that I might need to call hp to get it. Is this correct or is there an option in the recovery strategy on the CD to let me pick the programs I want to install?

    Or do I get the Microsoft windows installation CD and use Belarc Advisor for windows license code?

    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

    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.

    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.
