I have installed Windows XP Professional, previously had Windows 2000. I've noticed that I goth a WINDOWS folder and a WINNT folder. I guess that the WINNT folder is the surplus of Windows 2000. Can I delete it?

Hello Jkk1012,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!

Yes, you can delete the WinNt folder as long as you have shot all the documents/files of the old installation and no longer need the information.

Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.

  • network card and other missing drivers after you have installed windows 7 ultimate on my elitebook 8540w

    HP Elitebook 8540w, model WH137AW #ABA - this laptop and was previously running a trial version of windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I wanted to install windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. I chose to install instead of upgrade that I assumed that the demo version was not expandable. Before the installation, I was able to connect to a wireless network with success. After you have installed windows 7 ultimate successfully, I was more able to connect or see all the networks. The diagnosis error indicates that I can miss a network card, or if I don't have one, the driver may need to be reinstalled. I saw a previous post and answer that looked very similar, but the difference is that I am out of my network card driver, so I'm not able to download any other drivers. -help me please!

    Original title: windows 7

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Hello

    What satellite notebook do you have?

    You have installed Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Normally, if you use this disk you have the same condition that you have started the laptop, the first time (factory settings). This means that everything should work fine on your laptop.

    Normally the touchpad can be enabled or disabled by pressing FN + F9. Check this box!
