I bought a dell inspiron 1440 without any operating system. What should I install first, the dell drivers or windows vista?
I use the windows vista installation disc supplied with my previous pc. I tried to do a clean install, inserted the disc into the cd/dvd drive. No installation window. The screen says "windows loading files..." After a few hours, the display shows something like
"" windows has not... error: file boot32.exe is corrupt or not found. "."
Then the Dell XP disc is great to use. However, do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):
1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.
2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.
3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.
4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.
* It is not necessary to have a third party burning software in Windows 7 since Win7 natively allows to burn an .iso. Other operating systems require it. A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .
5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software (unless you have Windows 7, that allows to record the .isos natively) - as an image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.
6. other hardware components are faulty.
Then you unfortunately discovered why the phone was for sale.

This scenario came when I tried to install windows xp on it. The next thing I did is that I tried to install windows 7 on the laptop computer.

I'll buy a kit of barebones without preinstalled operating system and was wondering if I could use my Windows 7 upgrade disk to install Windows on the new PC.
Short answer 'NO '.
Upgrade means upgrade. An upgrade can only be used to upgrade a previous version of XP or Vista. You will need to purchase a full retail or OEM version to install on a computer without an operating system.

I have a Dell Inspiron and its ubuntu operating system is there a way to change it to windows xp
I have a dell inspiron operated by ubuntu is possible to change it to windows xp
Hello
I'm assuming that Ubuntu is the only OS installed on the computer, and you have a XP install disc.
The hard disk must be erased all traces of the file system,
Download and burn to cd Darik Boot and Nuke. Start and wipe the drive hard when you are finished it will appear for XP like a new hard drive.

Satellie Pro A120 - network adapter wireless not recognized by any operating system
Hello
I have a satellite Pro A120 (I bought two - it's a long story!)
A month ago, I replaced the battery as life batt had fallen to 30 minutes. As a result, there were major problems with windows and toshiba software compete on power management and the long and short it wasn't that XP needed to be reinstalled.
However, due to the relocation, the wireless card is not recognized. It is not the card, I swapped it out of the computer and it works fine in my other A120. If anyone has any ideas as to why it would not be recognized and that I could do to remedy the situation?
Thank you very much for your time.
