I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true? What is the best way to remove the linux operating system and install windows xp?
original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM
If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:
1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.
2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.
3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

A warning message came to my Junk mailbox about the status of my account, but it requires a lot of personal information. How can I know if this
It is a legitimate site?Hello
Its a SCAM!
In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), funded in part by the Bureau of Justice Assistance
(BJA).
http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspxNo, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
identity.Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited
phone calls to help you fix your computer

How can I remove the Windows Live Sign In requirement for my windows live mail?
Something changed in my installation of Windows Vista HP and I am now faced with a sign to connect to Windows Live 'request' every time I try to access my windows live mail. (From the desktop icon). I can click on through that connection and I will be headed to my live mail account (without entering any information of personal password) so I have no idea what use this sign is actually - but it's PRETTY! boring. All he seems to do is add more clicks for me to be able to do what I had previously been able to. BING was not very helpful to help me find a way to turn off this annoying 'feature'. I tried to use the program on Windows Essentials items removal (all except the direct mail) but this did not help. Where can I fo to disable this pop-up window? (And of course, I don't want to lose my current e-mail settings or messages!)
The sign is in Windows Live (contacts, calendar, photo upload) services.Contacts and calendar will be synchronized with the calendar and the active contacts.

Beautiful image shows the upper part of the window, where the toolbars. But the part that can be displayed at the bottom of the screen (above the taskbar (I think it's called?)) does not appear and I can't remember/find a way to work in so that it is displayed too.
"Personas" are basically dead. The name was changed to 'Lightweight thèmes' and the Mozilla seems to have lost all interest in this feature. IMO, it is corporate ADHD - build, promote, many users ignore the hook on the feature, of it do not continue to "show the love" and in two or three years 'kick on the sidewalk.
Basically, the add-on bar went in Fx29 - so there is no image at the bottom. There is an extension that restore the bar of the add-on, and it seems that it supports Personas - based on the screenshots on the page to download add-on.

Firefox does not use the Windows key for all of the keyboard shortcuts in Firefox. Mac and Linux do not have a key "Windows". This article is for Firefox strictly keyboard shortcuts.
