How to restore the XP boot loader and get rid of Windows 7 a

Windows Boot Manager

I converted my computer simple boot with Win XP to a system dual boot installing another HDD with Windows 7 Pro. and it has also installed Windows Boot Manager. Now, I want to go back to a system boot and removed the second hard drive with Windows 7 but am unable to get rid of the boot manager who always appears at boot. Any suggestions?

Hi George,.

You may need to boot into the recovery console and fix the Master Boot Record (MBR).

Step 1: To boot into the recovery console, refer to this article.

Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users

Step 2: Run Fixmbr and Fixboot from the recovery console commands.

Microsoft Windows XP - Fixmbr

Microsoft Windows XP - Fixboot

    Avast, that you said that you are using, is a very good choice (but not quite)
    the best).

    But you said nothing about the anti-spyware programs. If you are not running
    anti-spyware, I think very hard is that you are infected.

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
    to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
    run several) of the following three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
    (both freeware) to install MalwareBytes AntiMalware and
    SuperAntiSpyware.
    In your situation, I highly recommend that you download and run at the same time
    MalwareBytes AntiMalware and SuperAntiSpyware.

  • How to restore the Satellite L25 - where to get the recovery disk

    Hello..

    I tried to format my hard drive on my laptop L25, which currently has Win XP, but don't know that if I ever had a CD/DVD of recovery of the person I bought it from.

    Does anyone know if this laptop (L25-s1192) contains a picture of the recovery diskette or if I can get a drive recovery somewhere or any other way to format the drive and reinstall the original content of the laptop?

    Would appreciate if you could answer.
    Thank you... Amare

    Hello

    Usually, the old series from Toshiba was equipped with the recovery disk and the image of Toshiba on the recovery cd.
    If you have a recovery disc, then you will have to boot from that disk to start the recovery procedure.

    If you don t have a recovery disk, then you can use a clean Microsoft Windows XP CD to reinstall the operating system and the necessary drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page we.
    It is a portable American and you need to find US page for drivers.

  • How to start the oracle database server and its client in windows 8

    Hi all

    I am a new entry in this forum and I am a beginner with oracle database.

    I always used SQL Server as the database, and it was easy to use after installation.

    With management program configuration of SQL Server I could to start service SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and the database server start!

    With SQL Server management studio, I was able to launch the client application, then was to establish a connection to the server and everything worked great!

    Now, how to work with the oracle database?

    I installed the oracle server and client version 11g R2 in windows 8, but how do I start the database?... and how can I start the client application to query?

    best wishes in advance.

    PS: Sorry for my English.

    If you are on the same machine, the only service that you absolutely need to start is the database service.  In your case OracleServiceSYSDBA (hmmm... How did you find with this name?).

    For queries, you can use SQL * Plus which should also be installed.  If you want something GUI, you can use SQL Developer (you need to install separately I think).

  • I am no longer able to afford and don't forget fast. I have to manually, click the red icon in the upper left to access. How to restore the automatic prompt?

    Yesterday, I visited a site to which I often, pingtest.net. Normally, when I visit this site, a thin horizontal bar appears at the top of the browser look at a framework. I don't remember what he said, but it spans the entire length of the frame, from left to right. On the right edge of the bar is a x, if I want to close. In addition, when this horizontal bar appears, I also have a box that is approximately six to seven times the height of the thin horizontal bar that appears on the left edge of the horizontal bar thin. This area extends across the width of about one-sixth or fifth of the width of the horizontal bar. It contains something like the following: show all, allow, authorize, and don't forget. I normally click on display all option, and I normally select Enable for all options now.

    Here's what happened yesterday: I went to pingtest.net, the horizontal bar appeared and everything seemed normal. However, I have not taken any action. Instead, I changed my mind and decided to go to a different URL. My slider was in the middle of the screen. I moved the slider up until I was intending to be the URL field, in order to enter a new URL. Unfortunately, I did not move the slider enough. So, instead of clicking in the URL field, I clicked right in the middle of the horizontal bar. I HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT I CLICKED, BUT FROM THAT MOMENT TO WHAT THE HORIZONTAL BAR HAS NEVER REAPPEARED. WHAT I CLICKED, IT SEEMS THAT I LOADED FIREFOX TO NEVER PROVIDE ME THIS HORIZONTAL BAR AGAIN!

    As a result, I am also is more to get the box gray with the allow all display, allow and don't forget options.

    How can I find a normal behavior and get the normal horizontal bar and the normal box with the options to show all, allow, authorize, and don't forget?
