I NEED an operating system?

Hello, at the moment I'm building a computer. What I was wondering is, are you able to run a computer normally without OS? If I could, I'd still be able to do things such as running iTunes, play music, watch videos, play games and so on? I think to install an OS, but it does not support itunes. If I didn't have any OS I would simply not able to do anything whatsoever, or would it just a completely ordinary computer with no additional gadget?

What do you plan on starting, and how you will accomplish? How you acceding to your hard drive to install itunes and will can work autonomous? Probably not. You could turn the PC Suite and look at your BIOS settings if you like :-)

In other words, you must have something that serves as an interface between you and the applications that you want to run, and this interface is an operating system of some sort.

  • MAC user who needs MS operating system

    I have a MacBook Pro.  My university level course work requires use of Black Board Vista 8.0.  My MAC OS is "too new" to use and is "unsupported" and get a Snow Leopard operating system, which is supported, is impossible.  Apple suggested that I buy Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit), as is the operating system fully tested and supported for Blackboard Vista at my University.  I am confused and I am considering buying a new PC with a windows 7 32-bit OS.  Easier to say to do... it seems that all eligible to sell PC's have 64-bit.  Any ideas?

    Follow apples advice and buy Windows 7 32 bit (you should be able to refocus on the cheap your University Library). You can then install Boot Camp and run Windows 7 side by side with OS X.

  • Qosmio G30 - need two Windows operating systems: Vista and XP

    Hello

    can someone help me on the following application procedures:
    I need two operating systems on my Qosmio: Vista and XP
    I have two drives RAID inside my Qosmio and I installed Vista on the first.

    I tried to install XP on the second hard drive and I did (I have inserted XP installation disk and sellected second disc for installation), but after installation I got just the XP startup option.

    I can see all the files of Vista on the first disc, but allows boot XP only. Directory Windows XP was intalled on second drive, but boot.ini and some system files have been at the root of the first disc.

    I liked Vista and I repeated the procedure (with my recovery CD of Vista) and now I have Vista on the first disc and all files of XP on the second disc. I do not study how to get full XP on the second disk bootable system.

    What I need:
    Vista on the first hard drive.
    XP on the second disk

    I would have completely independent Windows System. This means that I have to start selection of BIOS, not Vista or XP.

    Hello

    It's very strange. If you have installed the first Vista and XP as a second OS then the Vista boot manager must exist usually.

    Please note that Vista uses 2 partitions. A partition is not visible. I hope that you have installed XP on this partition.

    In any case, I recommend you to create a new partition on the first HARD drive and you could install XP as second operating system.

    After this installation, you can use applications freeware like EasyBCD or VistaBootPRO to change the Vista Boot Manager.

  • M58p 7479-RS2 Small Form Factor PC - recommendations for the operating system

    Hello

    I'm unable to work on what to get for this old computer operating system (produced in 2008 I think).

    The closest model to what I can find, Lenovo website is the M58p 7479-RS1.

    It shows the firmware several updates and a BIOS update but I need an operating system to start this process really, and not knowing that it is boring.

    Could someone shed some light on a good to get to this pedigree of machine? ...

    Thanks in advance,

    Matt McAllum.

    Some versions of this system have been sold with Windows 7, and drivers are available, so that would be my suggestion. If you didn't upgrade beyond 2 GB, then use 32 bits; 4 GB or more, use 64 - bit.

  • What should I do? An operating system not found.

    So, I worked on a toshiba laptop which had said that it needed an operating system so I made a boot disk for windows 8

    Although he said that he could not install on partitions IE. they have the wrong format for windows 8 to install

    So I went to a tutorial on youtube in which I wiped the hard drive and did a new partition for windows but now it gives me a screen with

    An operating system not found. Try disconnecting all drives that are not

    contain an operating system

    Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart

    I have the windows startup disk in Player 8 when I restart, but what I was wondering was that lets say that I replaced the hard drive of the computer that will fix it or should I use cmd to copy files from windows from a USB to the computer?

    Thanks to the one who can help,

    Really.

    Hey really,

    Welcome and thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community, the best place for all your windows related queries.

    We appreciate you to try the troubleshooting steps to resolve your issue.

    Since you have wiped the hard drive and make a new partition, the operating system would have completely erased. Therefore, you will need to re - install the operating system using the disk.

    As you have already done the Windows restore then, I suggest you perform theast known good configuration. Please see the link below to do so:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/using-last-known-good-configuration#1TC=Windows-7

    Last known good configuration is a Windows startup option that uses the most recent system settings that worked correctly.

    Hope this information is useful. Do not hesitate to contact us for additional help with the Windows operating system. We will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

  • Using the guest host as operating system operating system

    When using VMware Server, if you install it on Server 2003, can use you your host operating system in your guest OS.  Or would you have to install another copy of it?

    Just trying to make sure I have good understanding.  If I install XP as a guest operating system, which is accessible remotely.  In addition, the same image can be created again and again or should I create a new serial numbers don't?  I'm fine with the purchase of new numbers of seria, but did not know how to create the guest operating system has worked.

    Consider each virtual machine comments as another computer.  So, everyone needs an operating system installed.  You can install the same host operating system, but it is a different facility.

    Microsoft allows you to use product keys Windows 4 ~ 5 times and then they will not activate them.  So if you remove an active Windows VM, that use of the key is lost.

    You may be able to copy a virtual machine already activated without having to re - activate, I'm not sure.  Like to do a clean install of Windows XP, activate and update, then copies of the virtual machine before you install additional software.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I wish I had some good news for you, but I did not...

    Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.

    Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This means that the stock HP is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.

    Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck

  • need a cd with older operating system for an iMac of 1995

    I have an older iMac, there is not an operating system installed on it, although it works.  I need a CD with his own version of OS. Do you know where I can get a.

    The first iMac was introduced in 1998 and comes with OS 8.1.  It is known as the "Bondi Blue" iMac, which is a dark shade of blue-green.  He had a 233 MHz G3 processor and an optical drive tray-loading.  This model was followed by the iMac of fruits of color with a 266 MHz G3 processor.  A faster group of fruit color iMacs were followed, which also had the same optical drive of the plate, but a 333 MHz G3 processor.  Check out this page which lists all iMac models and post back with the model with the plug that matches the one you have.  Knowing that will determine how modern an OS you can install on it.  Check ebay for an OS installation disc, but still looking for the version (Universal Installer) retail disc and not a restore with a software disc incompatible build designed for another Mac model.
