I reinstalled Windows XP and he found himself on the E: drive - how I put on C: drive?

Original title: The ANSWER, I received for my Windows XP problem was NO advantage!

It is interesting that the supposed support person was and MARKED as answer! I could think of a couple of OTHER procedures that could have been done, but I was looking for a better way! I'm not like Windows poured into the support person, but I think I know more about computers, then it does! I'll solve the problem myself, but it is of course disappointing! Microsoft always you leave on the floor, otherwise finds a way to make more money on your part! Being on a limited income, it's just as sad! This is ONE reason I am migrating to UBUNTU!

Dr. Duane Elihu Xavier

To install Xp on C:, you must reinstall windows. Be sure to install the disk C: is selected. Don't forget backup!

  • Can I reinstall Windows XP and Office 2007 with just the numbers, product keys, and no disc.

    I have three old computers in my house.  All three begin to show serious signs of just getting old.  I was recommended to clean my computers.  I would like to reinstall my Windows OS and reinstall the software of my office.  I've lost my records over the years and moving, but still have my product key numbers that I kept in my office files.  Is it possible to reinstall it without a disk?

    BCorb,

    I suggest you call the computer manufacturer and request for an XP CD will be sent to you. It should be for only a few dollars, like $10 or more because it is an OEM copy.

    For the Office CD, if it came with the computer you could probably try to ask them to send a copy as well, although I do not know if your computer manufacturer did.

    See you soon ~!

  • I want to reinstall Windows Vista, but have 2 partitions on the hard drive partition which should I use?

    Which partition should I use to re - install Windows Vista? A partition is much smaller then the other.

    Hello

    you don't say how you are trying to reinstall vista

    If you use a microsoft vista dvd you would normally select a CUSTOM installation that gives you the opportunity to see what partitiions are available, what size are they and what is currently installed on them etc.

    It is then to you to delete the existing partition where vista is already installed and reinstall on the same partition or where you want to

    We cannot see how your hard disk is configured

    We can only give you general information on this subject

    read the tutorial below well especially the steps below:

    Now it's time to choose the installation type. Update or custom are the choice, but as you can see, in this case, Custom is the only option. There are two points to note. The first is under Customs where it says you can use this option to change the disks and partitions. This is true to a point. You can create and delete partitions and resize a partition using the command 'Extend '. The second thing to note is that if you want to 'Upgrade '. you need start the installation from Windows inside.

    Once determined the type of installation, it's time to decide where to install Vista. As you can see on the screenshot options in this scenario are limited. There is a 20 GB hard drive and it is all unallocated space. If your intention is to return the entire disk in Vista with none of the additional partitions for other uses, all you have to do is click on disk 0, and then click the [next] button. The installation will continue.

    etc.

    etc.

    Hello

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
