• Can I boot Vista OS from an external USB drive

  Hi, I would like to install Vista on an external drive (USB) and start since that occasionally, while keeping XP on the internal drive. Is it possible please. I realize I need to change the boot order in the BIOS.
  I know that I could create a dual internal boot but want to retain as much as possible on the internal drive that I won't only rarely need to use the dreaded Vista of space.

  Thank you

  Hi Hema,

  Thank you for your kind reply.

  I bought the system in a Dell store allowed, but the thing is I'm getting confused on post purchase experience.  The bag pack which the seller gave me apparently local, when I refused to take it, he assured me that I will get a real bag after a few days. I also think that I cheated from windows.

  I will be much obliged if you can read the issue in the context (the conversation with the windows community)-

  My question - what is the use of "slmgr / / ato" command, my system is watch a range error code 0x80072EF7, when I run this command. can be solved?

  response-

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  According to the publication of the description and the error code that you get when running ' slmgr / / ato "command, it seems that you have any question in your Windows activation.

  Use of slmgr / / ato command:

  For volume systems, with a KMS host key retail editions or a key to activate Multiple (MAK) installed /atoprompts Windows to attempt activation online. Activate Windows license and product key from the Microsoft server. If you receive error 0x80072EF7 code then I suggest you to try the steps outlined in the article below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

  My question-

  I can't run these technical stuffs on my computer. I'm scared I might lose the original settings since I'm not familiar with computer terminology. I didn't activate windows, I run the command "slmgr/ato' because of Microsoft technical team asked me to do the same. The reality is that I just bought a new Dell laptop, which came with no reinstalled windows, but dealer told me it communicates me windows 8.1pro as compliment (when I asked him which win. I should use win10 update or win original 8.1). and the cost of windows is not mentioned in the Bill. I was not aware at the time of the purchase that I won't have a preinstalled windows system, because I asked the price for laptop with the desired configuration and win8.1. I never thought that I buy a DOS system. I paid for almost the same price for laptop with "win 8.1pro" brokers in the area compare to preinstalled laptop computer sing.language win8.1. After 2 days, when I realized the question and asked the technical team at Microsoft to see if windows that is installed on my system is authentic or not, and they told me that windows is authentic, after checking with my key.  From there, my doubt starts Can a windows be true, even if the user has no evidence that he has purchased? Is the only information is the product key which certifies the genuine windows? What is the risk if the dealer gives the same key to another customer as a "compliment".

  Once I shared the issue with Microsoft support, they tried to hear me, but I think that they have not properly my concern. However, they asked me to run that command and message showed that windows is already activated. Since then, I thought that it could be someone else can also use the same key, I tried to check this order 4 days after. Since then, this error shows. Now, I want to solve each and every error on windows, I will also be very grateful if you could provide me the only way to learn how to check the real windows.

  response-

  Yes, I agree with you, your concern on the product key. It is true that your computer vendor could give the same product key to the other person as a gift too. If another person uses the same key to activate the OS, then you might get pop up to activate your Windows or other activation errors.

  You can see the article mentioned below to check if your OS is authentic.

  My question-

  Today, I called again to Microsoft helpline years technical support says my concern again. This time they told me that 'the ID of the product' which I use is enabled on other computers, but still found my authentic windows. I wonder, earlier the chat session which is held with the technical support told me that no one can use the same key that I use. If it someone trying to do it won't affect my computer because I am one who is authentic and the first user. I don't understand why are there different versions of the truths in the company for the same problem?

  I feel very sad that the company like Microsoft is not able to do something for their customers like me who are less sophisticated techno and want to become authentic windows user! Now, I think there must be a link any between the 'error', I've mentioned above and even the activation key on a different system.  I'm afraid how it would affect my system if other systems get activated by the same key. I don't know what are the services that I won't be able to enjoy if my windows become ingenuine later. Kindly guide me how to raise my complain about best way (with respect to the argument) to the dealer or authority be it is.

  response-

  If you have a valid key, then you will be able to turn it on again. If you call our support team then they will check into his tool and validate it, after doing this they will validate your key and help by activating the latter, if it turns out anyway.

  Keep us.

• My desktop Dell - Vista - computer does not, the monitor says no entry and have to wake up computer

  I have a desktop Dell Vista computer.  A few days earlier, when I pressed the power button to turn it on, nothing happened.  When I turned on the monitor, he says that he came into power saving mode.  When I checked the monitor once again, he said that there is no entry for the computer and press any key of the keyboard or mouse to wake up.

  The computer is plugged in and the green light in the back is on.  I don't remember putting the computer to sleep.  I thought I made a stop for a few days in advance.  Press and hold the power button on the computer does not start it or turn it off.  There is no sound (such as a fan).  I unplugged the computer briefly a few times, and then I finally unplugged overnight and is plugged in.  Light lights up in the back, but is not the "num lock" key on the keyboard and the light under the mouse does not light.

  I checked a few suggestions on this site, but they all require that the computer be on and you enter in this form or the screen.  Is the computer dead?

  Thanks in advance.

• How to recover the Windows Vista operating system on laptop

  I have unix opreating system in my laptop (exhaust). First of all I can get all my documents and application. Secondly, how can I recover my window vista opreating system. Please give me your advice.

  * original title - how to get back my window visited opreating system *.

  Programs must be reinstalled from the original media: CD, DVD, etc..

  Save your data on external hard drive, Flash drive, etc...

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• How to download pictures to my computer from my phone?

  I have the samsung of the blackberry version.  I thought that I could download pictures from my phone to my computer just by connecting my phone via a usb cable.  No window opens when I do.  The only thing that happens is telephone charges.  I tried to go to my computer to access the drive, but it shows me only the disk and the hard disk.  Emailing them takes me too long because I can send only one at a time.  What should I do?  I have over 300 photos I want to save on my computer so that I can free up space on my phone.

  Hi Jennifer,.

  Looks like your phone is set to "Charge Only".

  Now you can search in your manual to be sure, but when you plug the USB and plug in your phone and your computer that a new icon should appear on your phone. Go to settings (check your manual) and change the 'Charge only' to "use as drive" or however you phone means to enable this feature. Depending on your system should be asked how you want to handle your disks from your phone. Then, you can open them as regular folders, drag and drop files.

  Hope this helps,
