Usually, what you try to do is accomplished using an 'image' - backup program like Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image that come with a bootable CD that allows you to capture an image of an operational system and then later restore that image even if your system or drive hard crash.  But if you are looking for a free method, you can clone an image of your operating system to another drive using CloneZilla.  Clonezilla can be used to make an exact copy of your current operating system drive.  Too many things to cover here, but you can do the work at home...

What was going on, it was my disc useage was at 100% a lot and that something was wrong with my computer then I factory reset it. While the factory reset is 44% in "resetting your computer" and the next thing I knew I had 2 options, stop or start with advanced options. Well, I chose to stop it, 5 minutes later, I turned it back on and I ran a SMART check has no that was the ID # 9367LW-86J89N-MFPX7G-60BR3 followed by the product id that is shown above. He said that when I start to Boot Device not found, please install an operating system on your hard drive. Followed by the hard drive (3FO), I can only click f2 and it gives me the link to visit the Help Center. The computer saying that it did not have an operating system was not the first alert, that I had, it was something else saying there was an error of hard disk which then became not having not not an operting system. I tried to go to f11 and go in this way, but regardless of what it always comes back to the screen that shows the found boot device, please install an operating system. Help, please! Thank you. in advance.

  • Can I install two operating systems on different hard drives.

    Original title: install two versions of windows

    I have windows 7 pro 64 on a ssd

    I have two disc hd, HD plugged into the outlet of the case of the third, another ssd

    I want to install an older version of 32-bit windows on the same computer - is it possible?

    Motherboard is P8 - Z77 PRO with 32 gb CPU Intel 7037

    Keep in mind that since you already have Windows 7 Pro, you have another option more integrated.  You can download and install the XP Mode which is free and works as another task under Windows 7.  It works fine as long as you can live with the limited graphics provided.  I see with my home system, graphics card 16-bit with something as resolution 960 x 768.  If I had a higher resolution monitor, the chart may be a bit better, I use a TV 720 p to 32 "for a monitor (HDMI connected), but I know that MS has voluntarily limited the graphics of XP Mode because they did not want it to be used for the games.

    Good luck.

    Qosmio G20: I want to change the operating system, but I can't do it.

    Please help me and I will be grateful

    Hello

    Of course, you can change the operating system and install another I wonder what OS you prefer?  :|

    I think that you can not install the new OS because the HARD drive is not visible. Am I wrong?
    Fact is that the G20 series supports RAID functionality. You must install the RAID driver before you continue the OS installation procedure

    The RAID driver can be downloaded from the European pilot of Toshiba page and should be included in the operating system using an external USB FDD drive.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

    My PC running the 32-bit version or 64-bit Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

    Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.

    Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller. Also, if you decide to switch to Windows 7 64 bit in the future, there is no way to upgrade from 32-bit Windows, clean install only.

  • can I install an operating system on my ram?

    I went through a lot of posts on how to do that, people just give fancy words in huge paragraphs, that's the only problem I have not been able to address, I mean, Ive got a lot of things in my pc just by reading a few posts. but this, increasing the operating speed of my pc by like 1000% is too hard to resist, but I've never met a detailed procedure. It would be great if I get a link to a video that comes of showing me how to do the same thing, a break step by step what to do also would suffice.

    Ask yourself, "Can I install an operating system on my ram?"

    Microsoft does not provide a way, or he takes it somehow, to install one of its operating systems to any volatile storage device. This includes RAM any form or configuration.

    For a moment, we suppose you could do: as soon as power was removed from the unit, all contents are lost. So, the installation will have to be repeated the next time you want to use the computer.

    See an overview of what makes setup in place. The Windows DVD is put in the DVD player and Setup copy a base to HD image and preparing it for use. Control passes to the newly created system and a detection phase begins which determines the hardware in the computer uses and assembles a special computer image on the hard drive. The system restarts and uses the custom image. (The actual process may require several reboots and download files from the Internet, if a connection is available). At the end of the installation, there are on the hard drive an image of the operating system working together customized for this computer. Whenever the computer starts, it loads its core working together. How much is loaded depends on the amount of RAM available. Manager windows memory must take into account / meet the requirements of the programs started and run as well as the background as networking, memory of the file transfers to the use of system and application, & c.

    Perhaps you would be worth considering the use of SSD devices or hybrid rather than or in addition to the HDs ordinary.

  • Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

    The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman). They told me that I could replace it (it will just keep failing until at last it dies just) but I have to re - install the operating system. The laptop comes with Windows 7 and I upgraded to 8 when it came out (I think). I don't have a recovery disk.

    How can I replace the corrupted hard drive and re-install the operating system?

    If I need to buy Windows 8, where can I find?

    Would it not easier that I left the repair shop handle it?

  • IMPOSSIBLE TO INSTALL ANY OPERATING SYSTEM

    Hello

    I bought a computer hp laptop with this specification HP Pavilion g4-1310au Notebook PC about two weeks ago. It comes with a Freedos operating system. I tried to install an operating system from windows xp and also tried to install a windows 7, but every time I have to install the operating system, the installion was interrupted with a meassage to individuals a "blue screen" error error message saying that there are problems with my hard drive and I need to check on my hard drive. This scenario came when I tried to install windows xp on it. The next thing I did is that I tried to install windows 7 on the laptop computer. But still no luck, this time the error indicates that the installation cannot continue because there is a file missing or damaged file that prevents the installation.

    I also tried to set some settings in the BIOS of the laptop as the Boot Option to start start installation in the cd/dvd from the laptop drive.

    What seems to be the problem if I'm not able to install any operating system of your laptop? Is there a way or any special instructions for me to install the operating systems in this particular type and model of your laptop?

    Your help will be much appreciated if you could guide me to solve my problem with my laptop.

    the installation of the operating system is a success.
