I had a HP with XP Media Edition on this, got angry and destroyed someday drive hard, but always have the key, the key will work on another form of XP?
As I said, I always have the key for it. But does not know if the key will work on just a normal copy of Windows XP? Also cannot find a download of XP? Guess that's what happens when you wait 17 years to ask about it.
If your computer was HP and it came with this version of Windows installed, then you probably have an OEM of Windows version. An OEM key does not work for a retail install the version of Windows. To reinstall Windows without owning a set of install CD/DVD from HP, you will need to contact HP for help as they regulate the licenses Windows installed on their products.

PE2950 with ^ TB drive HARD, but cannot have >; 2 TB partition
Hello
I have some weird problems with my new PE2950 with HARD SAS of 6x1TB drive.
With RAID 5, I can use the BIOS to create a RAID 5 (about 4.5 TB of space).
However, I can't use more than 2 TB. I read that if a cluster size increase, I can easily use 2 TB, 4 TB or more. But I can use only 1.9 TB (100 GB was used for Windows 2003 at the root). The remaining 2.6 TB becomes "unallocated" and unusable.
In addition, by using the Dell Instalation CD, there is no option to format the partition 'installation' in any other cluster size...
Please notify.

OEM license key will work with sales facility in retail Windows
Originally titled: My driver's license - which is preinstalled - will work on a new installation.
It is a long story. I have a Sony VPCEB1S0E. I got a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit preloaded on it.
Backstory:
My laptop crashed about 1 year ago. If a friend of my uncle has reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Lately, I realized that it is a Windows patched copy. It does not say it is authentic, but I think that it is loaded with a magazine or something. I used the command slui.exe 3 and entered my old key for my Home Premium edition. He said that the key that I entered belonged to another edition of Windows.
Present:
So I tried to download an iso. using the new recovery software Page. However, when I entered my old product key, it displays an error saying:
Unsupported product
The product key you have entered seems to be the software that was preinstalled on a device. Contact the manufacturer of the device for soft recovery options.
I managed to download an iso of Home Premium. file from a trusted source.
Main question:
If I reinstall a new copy of Windows Home Premium, my existing license key will work during installation?
Yes, the product key will work because it's the right 'Home Premium' edition.

I saw the problem with Windows Live Mail gel but I have the same problem with Windows Mail.
I saw the problem posted on Windows Live Mail gel but I have the same problem with Windows Mail. Sometimes, while mouse refuses I can scroll vertically with the keyboard, but not always... I changed to another wireless mouse, and this has not changed. I run Vista and can't find the update, that you reference. The reopening and closing program usually fixes it, but it's annoying. It happened for about 6 weeks or so.
Can anyone help?

I installed el capitan and my d4 & d800 Nikon won't tie up even with the LR 6.2.1 update. I read that it is a major problem for those of us who shoot professionally with this faculty. Is this ongoing development, and if so how hard is it going to be released?
Too late to not upgrade to El Capitan and my tech guy told me about 4 hours to remove the OS on. Unfortunately missed the chatter on the beta version. As I have the LR 6 disc version I guess that this fix will come out at the same time as CC?
