I built my computer from scratch, installed Win XP to systems integrators. It starts with Windows, but constantly restarts with a blinking message-"a write operation was attempted to a volume after it was dismantled".
The computer starts without the OS disc in the drive but then flashes this message and restarts constantly.
Hi Sys_builder,
Thanks for posting. Your operating system has already started successfully? If she has, I would say running a repair installation. If he ever started successfully, I guess you have bad media or bad material somewhere. I would check with the manufacturer of the hard drive to see if they have diagnostic utilities.
I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions. Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

I'm putting together a new mini computer from scratch. Is it possible to recover my Windows XP and install it in my new computer?
This license/copy of Windows XP OEM is * linked * to this Dell system. It is * not * transferable to any other system. This is part of the OEM license agreement. In other words - you did not have licensed copy for Windows XP - the Dell system has. You may not have known/done this so far - and it can't make you very happy with the situation.A decent (albeit simplified) explanation of the difference between a detail a Windows XP license and OEM Windows XP license:As you can see - there's a reason that the OEM license was cheaper and cheaper aspect was why Dell it came with the PC.

I can re download my CC programs even after resetting my computer from scratch?
Hello my name is Youjin Choi and I use a Mac Pro laptop computer
On the 6 January, I downloaded Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition (one year).
After the download, some serious computer problems occurred caused by
software version does not. I got version 10.6 of mac when CC programs worked on 10.8 and above.
So now, so that my computer to work again, I need to reset my computer everything from scratch
which means that all downloaded programs would be deleted
Since I already spent on the transaction of money for the programs, I was wondering
If I could continue to use the same account (?) command after I sorted all the version of software for my computer
to accept the programs.
Or would it be easier if I have to cancel the program account, refund and do it all again once after having solved my computer?
My order number is # AD001305431EDNZ
Please help me
Thank you very much.
Virginia,
I'm just another Member, but I think I can answer your question. Your creative cloud membership allows you to re-download and install applications anytime. The license is tied to you (your Adobe ID) and not a specific computer. So even if your computer is messed up, your Creative cloud subscription should be good.

Starting a computer from scratch
I want my computer all over again as if I were the barley it out of the box, but I don't have the disk. Help please?
Hello
There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

Hello
I was wondering what is the official (or unofficial) position for installation updates to Windows on a XP system which will be never connected to the Internet?
I realize that I can introduce potentially bad via a disk, a flash drive. But what happens if I was ever going to introduce something foreign to this particular PC?
Also, I realize that I could be losing other features & provide services that updates Service Packs & optional sometimes.
Thanks for your well informed comments.
If the pc is static, nothing in the value nothing out-no connections-do nothing, just sitting there, sometimes started for the amusement of his fine.
updates are THAT FREE choice of the user, there is nothing "official/UN-official about that, its up to you."

After re - install Win XP, unable to restore backup files
I used the utility to backup under Win XP Pro, Accessories System tools to backup my C drive on a hard drive portable.
A virus destroyed my boot Win XP system. A store of the local computer could not fix my computer, therefore, he re-installed Win XP Pro. In the newly installed Win XP Pro system, I tried to restore the backup files, but failed. I received message: "the backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used.

BKF recovery program reads Windows XP generated backup file, repair and then restore the files, very fast and efficient.

If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacksMethod 2:
You can also follow these steps and check:
a. go to the control panel and access the system and security.

Hp4480 all-in-One install locks won't let XP Home start
Just bought a 4480 all-in-in-one printer and have significant problems with the installation. After installation, printer seems to work very well. Then restart computer and XP don't start, not even in safe mode. After several attempts and running the diagnostics, it appeared that I had a hard drive problem. So after picking up a new hard drive and spend countless hours rebuild the computer from scratch - (during which time I discovered that my old hard drive works perfectly - and now I own a new 320 g drive)-I have reinstalled the printer with special attention to install steps, moving slowly and deliberately through the process once more be faced with the same situation of Mid-Autumn Festival on the new hard drive. I am puzzled, baffeled, frustrated and Yes on the point of being angry!
One of the install I see talk when install hangs - my Setup seems to work very well any electronic errors, not complete, and work - until I reboot and I have stuck. At least this time I can boot into safe mode and uninstall everything. Once to uninstall everything is back to normal and I can start again without problem.
I tried to install the driver database and all, but nothing helps-
I'm ready to make one more run at it, if someone has a good idea. If this isn't the case, I will drain the HP printer and all considerations of future purchase HP products. More frustrating in the present, it's that I'm a shareholder of HP as well! This kind of thing is not good for business!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Message edited by hpuser4480 on 12/22/2008 06:46If the PC freezes even with the printer disconnected or turned off, then the problem CAN BE with the computer itself.
In addition, in some computers, there is an option called "USB Emulation", which is available in the BIOS, and if it is enabled, this may happen. disable this option is safe and has solved the problem several times. so if please refer to your computer documentation and check this option in your BIOS and try to turn it off. -

FWIW, I just see the same message a couple of days, but I remember reading somewhere that some of these messages was an attempt of sites to infestation by malicious software to cause the user to go into panic mode and accept the offer to clean their computer and when you do that, you're actually infect your system ,
I tried to return to the site, near the site but nothing worked so I did a stop forced and rebooted with no ill effects.
When restarting my system, I did a full scan and nothing was found.

Your hard drive is dying quickly and must be replaced. If you have not burnt the recovery discs again I'd get burn soon or you will have to order from HP. You will need to boot and install Windows when you put the new drive in.
