• Reinstall the operating system

  I had to reformat my readers caused by a virus and I do not have the disk of OS from xp to re instal Home Office. I don't have the product key that has a label on the back of the pc. The operating system has been pre-installed with the purchase of the pc. How can I reinstall the operating system with a copy of xp home but I have the product code?

  Some computer manufacturers, including Dell and HP, have a recovery partition on the hard drive of the new computers.  By pressing a special key combination when the computer starts, you can use the recovery partition to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new.

  If this is not available, contact the PC manufacturer and ask a floppy to install for your computer model.

• How can I reinstall the operating system with the recurring kernel panics?

  MacBook 1.1, white, plastic, 2.0/2x1GB/80GB/SD/USB.

  It used a lot, but want to keep going for special purposes.  Get kernel panic/black screen when I try to reinstall the operating system on a blank disc;  deleted before trying to reinstall Lion 10.7.3.  Tried other earlier versions of operating system.  Reinstall the memory chips and ordered new ones as a bet.  Made a "Lion" partition the Middle clone backup FW for my MacBook Pro, but there now El Capitan; window said I have bad installer in MB Pro; Cannot install on this new FW partition, but I don't know if this will help anyway.  Must be HW problem; nothing on the MacBook drive.   Diagnosis I could not complete either.  Impossible to wipe FW with the MB Pro, Lion and other stuff loading to attack the problem of HW?   Don't know how to do in this regard.  A new Disk Warrior 5 and old Tech Tool Pro.  Apple HW Test on the original disc from MacBook will not appear either?   Difficult OB!    Challenge yourself, please!   New mem circuits can do. ??

  So I'll try to attack it from the external hard drive, of course, I have to.   But how to find and eliminate the block HW?   Finally, go ask Apple support.

  It doesn't let me finish any operation!

  According to Mactracker, a Macbook 1.1 is limited to Snow Leopard 10.6, as the new OSX compatible.  Do you mean you had lion (10.7) installed?

  Ciao.

• HO to reinstall the operating system on the Satellite 1900 with recovery CD

  My computer became very slow and I want to reformat the hard drive and re install the operating system. I have recovery of CD-ROM products and tools, as well as the "Utilities" CD. These are all discs, that I need to do this operation.

  I am also afraid that the non disks is the number key of Microsoft Windows to install windows. Where can I get the serial number from?
  I bought the machine again.

  Two different CD are supplied with this unit. The first is the RECOVERY CD. This CD contains a ghost image and this ghost image contains Windows XP Home edition operating system, all necessary drivers, tools and utilities. Using this CD, you can install entire BONE in 20 minutes and WXP will be ready for use without any additional installation.

  Tools & Utilities CD contains drivers, tools and utilities. Toshiba has prepared this CD for those users who wish to install own OS. For example, your laptop comes with WXP home, but if you want to have WXP Pro you can buy the full version of CD and install it. Later, you can use T & U CD to properly set up the portable equipment.

  As you can see this is very simple and you can do what you want.

  If you need further assistance please write again.

  Good bye

  Check maual of the user of the ignition key (e.g. F11) you need to press on when you first ask the computer to access the XP restore partition. If you have a "restore CD" the game that the BIOS so that the CD-ROM drive is the 1st device to start, followed by the hard drive. then power on the computer and "press any key" when prompted to start the installation.

• tried to reinstall the operating system and it crashed

  Acer One Netbook D257.

  Installed to 2 g of RAM (you have to take all this goes to do!) and since then the wireless is uneven right next to the router unless.

  So, I thought it would be a pilot. Tried to install the driver from Intel. That didn't fix it.

  So I thought I would start fresh by reinstalling the operating system using the Acer tool that backs up the user's data.

  Wonder of wonders, it doesn't at all now! System 7 House is caput! He starts up a message saying that Acer could not install the OS!

  Suggestions? How can I get a copy of "acer" of win7 to replace on this netbook?

  TIA

  Alrighty then, here is the resolution!

  Apparently, there is a removable rear on this computer! You must know the 'secret' to open the door!

  The 'trick' is to remove the keyboard, and then there are 5 magic screws that release the rear panel.

  There are two right under the disk hard corners L & R and then there are three online in the upper part of the hard drive. One of those is to the left of the upper-left corner (probably as he field key 'E'?) Once you do this, dislodging then the back is yet another task. Fortunately for me, I pushed inside to understand. There's "brand" in the plastic that indicate you the five. Just look at the two bottom and you'll see what I mean.

  The other thing to know is that the back side of the Panel has hooks that need to go first when back, which means that it is NOT the starting point of prying eyes. The other 3 sides are 'snap' as push so I think that starting with a front corner notches to stop might be the best solution, otherwise you will destroy the hooks.

  The problem with dropping the network was the antenna wires that connect to the transmitter. They were loose. They do not have much of a loop service for them so when I raised the mobo to install memory, the first time, they jumped off. The antenna is located around the monitor bezel.

  Now, it works fine.

  Why they have not make obvious to repair this unit is a mystery. I guess for $250, it's a deal, but then you get watered to have someone for you install memory.

  If all goes well, I saved someone some $ and headaches this announcement.

  Enjoy

  1. you receive an error message when you start in safe mode or normal mode?

  If you have access to the internet in safe mode with network, then you will need to scan the computer to remove all infections from the computer and check if that helps.
