Can I pop the CD into the computer and run it again?

software.
You can switch from XP to C, but it is not advisable or practical. When you have decided
to withdraw, you will need to remove it to the C drive and let XP in

  • Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830 68U118-t with a new hard drive. How can I get the bluetooth to work?

    I have an Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830 t-68U118.  The original hard drive died, so I replaced it with a new hard drive.  I loaded Windows 7 x 64 and loaded the chipset drivers and the network drivers.  The laptop is always my bluetooth equipment (even if I loaded the drivers Atheros).  Does anyone else have this problem?  How can I get the bluetooth to work?

    It would probably depend on the status of the warranty of the system.

    You must contact the service for options.

  • Just started to open links in a new window instead of a new also safe mode of Firefox tab doesn't do anything, how can I fix?

    When I click on a link, firefox opens in a new window. It is used to open it in a new tab instead which is what I prefer. I've never had this problem until last night, so I have no idea what might have started it. I tried the suggestion to put firefox in safe mode and still the same problem. I have firefox 15.0.1 on windows 7.

    What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

    Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if it works.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • Dell Inspiron 3520 - hard drive failure - how to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive

    I bought Dell Inspiron 3520. My hard drive has stopped working completely. It was stated as dead hard drive by diagonstic center.

    I have now bought a new hard drive but have lost data and windows 8 preload on the original hard drive. Dell did not provide any recovery disk for Windows 8 pre-loaded on portable hard drive. How can I then install windows 8 / 10 on my new hard drive?

    The .iso image file official 10565 has only:

    • Overview of the House of insiders
    • Overview of the Insider Pro

    Unfortunately, there are 5 editions of Windows 10 and so 3 are missing. If your key is not automatically entered and accepted, it's probably a simple language edition or edition N.

    When Microsoft release 10586 - TH2 - 1511 Version they will probably have an .iso that contains all 5 editions in 1 .iso or alternatively 5 .isos distinct (I hope as the first case that it will make Windows installation much easier).

  • Impossible to reinstall Windows 7 on a new hard drive

    First off apologies if this has been answered recently, I spent the 2 days on this problem and the promise that I searched and google til my fingers bleed. Basically, the situation is as follows:

    -The PC tells me HDD is faulty on my Studio XPS 8000

    -J' I buy the new HDD, then get out of the old and install new

    -Position the disc of the PC operating system, get up to where I can click on install to start the installation of Windows 7 on the new drive

    -However he says there is no device driver on the disk, I put in the drivers and Utilities disc, (which came with the PC) but still no driver of the device, even if it says disk they appear thereon

    -Back to the old drive and try to make the system recovery disk - try to use USB flash drive but is not recognized, so buy dvdr discs and go through initialization and then it begins to collect files, but on many tests is not go beyond 25% full, let alone engraving on the startup disk.

    -Dell Datasafe Local Backup to uninstall and reinstall but the continuous PC to freeze at "25% collection files.

    So, what can I do, because my warranty is over? All I have to do is install my copy already purchased WIndows 7 on my new hard drive already bought, but I'm stumped at this point. Thanks for any help of cutting-edge :)

    Oh... PS. -I am in England so I don't think I can send away from the backup disks, even if the expiry of the guarantee is not a problem.

    Follow the Windows reinstallation Guide / A clean installation of Windows 7:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/

    The part you get stuck on is step 6, preparation of step 8 and SATA drivers loaded during the installation of Windows.

    Note that I recommend using a .iso of Digital River, which will be the installation of more up-to-date media and the use of Activation and recovery of backup for the activation of the product. Follow the step 2 (using the files at the bottom) and stage 11 b for activation of the product. It is an unofficial solution but works very well.

    You can of course try to call Support technique Dell and request a Dell Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 DVD of resettlement.

  • Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

    I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

    While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

    So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

    TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

    The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:
