How to transfer the old operating system to Windows XP on a drive USB3 to allow the start of a new XP computer
I have Windows XP SP3 on a Dell computer. I have a new computer with Windows 7 Pro.
I want the option to be able to start my new computer with XP and run it as an alternative to USB.
Is there a way I can completely transfer the contents of the drive WITH the XP OPERATING SYSTEM on a regular external USB3 drive so I can start the new computer using XP works like the operating system, when I need?
Thank you.
You do not have. Windows XP doesn't work this way (start of the external drive).
You can virtualize the old computer (physical to virtual conversion) and run it as a virtual machine on your new system. Although, honestly, it would be a bit beyond the type of assistance usually given in these home user forums. A Google search would be ways to virtualize a physical system and/or choose which Manager of virtualization that you want to use (Microsoft VirtualPC, VirtualBox, VMware Player/workstation, etc...)

I bought a laptop broken at a friend's House. It is not used for the operating system windows 8 and wanted to use the Windows Vista operating system. Son of friends put in place this laptop for it, which was new when she bought in a retail store. Is there a way I can find out whether all the partitions have been deleted during the installation of Vista? I still see window 8 logo that I sign as an administrator user on this laptop.
When I log on this computer, the previous owner of the screen name is the only one that appears. I go in Control Panel, click Add another account, then I see the screen name I posted. I could use the WiFi from my PC at home that Win 7 OS.
When I started working with the laptop, I was able to bring control of the camera. Now I thought that the version that I use does not allow this operation. Be happy with any Positive help with my problems.
Thank you
Phil W.
Hello
Start > type CMD
Right click on CMD and select run as administrator
Type diskmgmt.msc
Press enter
This opens where you can view the partitions on the disk management system
Who has installed Windows Vista, your son or friend? Fact that they create a dual boot environment or reformat?
http://www.technorms.com/8438/Windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition
Multibooting requires separate partitions on the hard drive of your computer for each operating system. To create and format a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.
To check if a dual boot system in place, start > Type msconfig
Click on the Startup tab
You see two operating systems listed? Windows 8, Windows Vista
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/how-to-change-default-OS-for-dual-boot-system/
I think that Windows 8 has the following partitions
400 MB Partition Recovery (contains recovery information dated from before my upgrade)
- 300 MB EFI System Partition
- 350 MB Partition Recovery (contains information for recovery of my upgrade)
- 17 GB Partition Recovery
- 220 GB of Partition primary
Windows Vista has drive C and drive D
Done reformatting refers to a hard disk or partition that already has been formatted or that contains data on it. Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.
