How to run the installation on a 5 GB pcmcia hard drive, it does not start?

I have a computer dell laptop, which has a non-functional drive Bay, so I use a 5 GB kingston pcmcia hard drive. Recognizes the xp home installation cd and copy of files, only I does not start when the system is restarted, is it a boot disk to start just xp? The bios doesn't have the ability to start from pcmcia, only an ehernet PCMCIA.

Can I create a boot cd which recognises the pcmcia from the Setup disk, or add the driver pcmcia on a boot disk and which record a bootable CD?

Hello

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community!

You have reached the right forum. Try to solve this problem together.

If I understand correctly, you are trying to install XP on a PCMCIA drive and the computer does not start after the installation files are copied during installation.

Since then trying to install XP to a PCMCIA drive and the computer does not start after the installation files are copied during installation. In addition, the BIOS has not an option to boot from PCMCIA readers. So basically, you will not be able to install XP on the PCMCIA drive.

Regarding the question on a boot disk, Microsoft provides no such discs. You will need to do a search online or in the stores of tech for such a disc, if it is available.

  • Satellite L670 - the system HARD drive recovery does not start

    Hello together,

    I have a problem with my laptop. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
    Now I want to restore the original Windows Home Premium. On the laptop is a second partition with a folder named "disk HARD recovery.

    When I hold the button '0' on start nothing happens. The beginning of doesn´t of system recovery.

    Can you help fix the problem.

    Thank you and best regards,
    Dinder

    Hello

    This does not work because you have installed Win 7 64 bit as you said here:
    > I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
    But have you tried also pressing F8-> fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery?
    Try this

    Otherwise, drive HARD recovery does not work because the boot manager has been changed or damaged as a result of the new install of Win 7 and this is why you cannot load HARD drive recovery.
    That is why it s always recommended to create a recovery disc before changing anything on the HARD drive.

    What to tell buddy you need recovery disks. I guess that you have a European model for laptop

    You can order the recovery discs here:

    Hello Ghostdogaln.

    How do hang you the controller?  You must either use a * wired * controller, or use a wireless controller with receiver game Xbox 360 for Windows.

    If you use a wireless with a Play and Charge kit controller, it will not work as long as the USB cord only actually plug into the battery for the controller itself.

  • How to activate the faults COMMITTED to an internal SATA hard drive, but not the other, on Vista Home Premium 32-bit?

    I have a set of 17-inch laptop 2008 which contains two hard drive bays internal, purchased in June.  It came with a single hard drive (traditional spinning disc).  It is running Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    My SATA controller is an Intel 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M family); I think it's a first-generation SATA controller (1.5 Gbps).

    I received recently a 160 GB Intel X - 25 M SSD (second generation SATA, but it is fully compatible with the first generation controllers, without additional or jumpers configuration) as a gift from my wife.  I removed my first hard drive completely, installed the SSD in the main Bay and installed Windows, drivers and the Intel SSD utility.  I then reinstalled my HDD original in the second span, completely wiped and reformatted it as a partition; It currently contains my music and other multimedia files.

    The utility Intel SSD tells me I should activate DIPM for my SSD as opposed to HIPM.  This seems to take a bit of tinkering to make Vista, and my situation is further complicated by the presence of my HARD drive (original) secondary, which prefer to use HIPM.

    I read the article on the Microsoft Web site on editing the registry to activate the misconduct, and it's something I would feel comfortable doing. However, I don't want my SSD to use DIPM, my HARD drive is expected to continue to use HIPM, and I was afraid that the proposed fix would allow the misconduct for all readers.

    Could someone let me know how I can activate DIPM for my SSD while continuing to use HIPM to my HARD drive, I'd be very grateful.

    EDIT: My Maintenance of SSD utility said simply that the State of the settings DIPM/HIPM "could not be determined." if Vista automatically selects the correct setting and the SSD utility does not just understand that, which makes my life a lot easier. but it would be nice to know for sure, so I can forget it all (if Vista already defined for me) or change the setting (if Vista did not automatically choose food appropriate for each disk management mode).

    You will need two SATA controllers: both on board or an edge and the other on PCI - E.

    Configure one who does not need TRIM/DIPM (do not use a SSD) as non-AHCI (compatible IDE/ATA-6) in the BIOS and the other (where TRIM/DIPM will be used) as AHCI.

    Connect the drive to which you DIPM AHCI controller. See http://www.abxzone.com/forums/f155/tip-how-enable-dipm-ssds-windows-120968.html for more information.

  • The installation of Vista Edition family program Premium 64 bit does not work and CleanUp Utility does not work.

    Whenever I try to install or to uninstall or upgrade programs even I can't do so until the Windows Installer will not work.  I downloaded the cleanup utility and it will not run.  It stops with "internal error 2908" and if I continuously press the OK key it will then stop the installation with "Error 1406".  It is really a nuisance and need to be repaired.  What can I do?

    Have you tried the logging option and if so did throw any light on the matter?

    Have you tried creating a new user and see if it is more likely?

    Looks like (for me) it's the access permissions problem that is behind all this?

  • After the installation of Win 8.1, Acrobat 9 Pro suddenly does not work

    I have CS4 Web Premium and Acrobat Pro v. 9.5.5.  I bought a new computer to window 8.0 90 days ago, installed subsequently, active and everything is fine. Yesterday, I upgraded to 8.1 Win. Now, when I opened Acrobat Pro, I get a message saying that it has been installed as part of a suite and open another program in the first sequel. When I click OK, Acrobat is closed. I tried to open almost all other programs in the suite (bridge, Flash, Photoshop 64-bit), they run OK, but Acrobat will not always work, and there is no activation message.  I checked my Adobe account, and my version of Acrobat 9 Pro is still listed, with serial number.

    I am very disappointed, because I use Acrobat Pro a bit, and currently it will not open at all. Other that call Adobe to help (no free support # listed), with the help of discussion online (no link available), or by e-mail with them (no address listed)... What can I do to "activate"?

    I tried open Acrobat Distiller and get the same message, but when I close it, I see a brief flash of what seems to be an entry with the substance of the activation box.  It only appears for the second half, so I can't do anything with it.

    The process of installation and activation for Acrobat as part of the CS is different from that of a stand-alone Acrobat. First of all, the issue of opening another application in CS is common (not sure if she should remain open when you start Acrobat. You should be able to get more information about the CS forum. You can also just try a repair. Do not forget that Adobe will not doubts for you AA9 on Win 8.1 since they are not listed as compatible (this does not mean that they do not work together, but they are not certified for this combination). It may be that Win 8.1 added some hooks than messes up Acrobat. It might be time to move on AA XI. AA9 is the oldest product that qualifies for the upgrade.

    My hard drive is failng in my computer I get the message that "the failure of hard drive" is imminent for several months now.  I did just recovery disks after I bought my computer and that you have ordered a new hard drive.

    I thought that the part of the setup of windows on a portion of the current hard disk that I need to replace.

    I want to just make sure that if I can restore the windows completely and that all programmes provided with the computer are on the recovery discs I want to do it myself - so I need to know I'm doing it correctly!

    Thank you very much.

    PS I found this web page below and I want to just make sure that it applies to me:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-TouchSmart-420-1000-desktop-PC-series/5146292/model/5155758/d...

    This link in the post seems to apply to the situation.  If you have already completed the defined recovery disc then it should just be a matter of running the recovery disc after the new hard drive is installed.  The recovery disk set will be "restoring windows completely and all programs included with the computer".  Be aware that all other items that were installed or personal data will not be restored.  When replacing the hard drive, do not buy a disc exceeds the limit of 2 TB, such as published in the SPECS for TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO.
