original title: have trouble to install Windows XP

Hello sandrine,.

Any CD will do the job as long as it is the same version as your XP, i.e. family/professional version.

You can borrow a CD from someone you know who has the same windows?

In addition, many PC have a disk based recovery partition that will do the installation for you – check the documentation for your PC how to access at boot time.

If you do not find the documentation back to me with the make and model of your PC, and I can help others.

  • Spent in a clean install of WIndows 8 but Sync does not work, how can I connect if I have my data back?

    I decided to install a version of Windows 8 in replacement for Win7. So when I looked what I save, I decided to do a FireFox sync account to collect my data when FireFox was again installed on my laptop.

    So today, I installed FireFox again but I can't sign in, ask about other manufactured device codes...
    Why can't I just connect with my login and my password?
    I still got the "Windows.old" file, can I do something with it because I guess I lost all my old data because of this weird codes.

    9-r2b2e-xm7bd-pubvs-e5wfx-*** this is the synchronization code is whining for but does not accept. not even when you change. Unable to find anything in my mail on this subject.

    A big thank you in advance.

    As an alternative to the synchronization, to find your old data, Firefox, try this. Please note that I have not used Windows 8, to let me know if this makes no sense.

    Help > troubleshooting information > button "record show."

    This should open the folder settings personal (AKA Firefox profile) Firefox in Windows Explorer (or equivalent).

    Browsing from a level to the profiles folder. You can see several folders here, but with a new installation, you probably see only one.

    In the address bar, insert the Windows. old\ into the path as follows:

    Windows. old\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles Users\ directory C:\

    If you used a different username on Windows 7, you will need to change the part. This should take you directly to your old Firefox profile folders. I suggest those that copy to a more accessible location.

    Your old profile or folders contain bookmarks, history, saved passwords, etc. You can migrate as much or as little of what you want. There are a few general articles on this (e.g., recovery of data from an old profile) and of course a lot of past son.

    A little luck?

  • I would like to re - install Windows Vista, but my drive does not all service packs. Download Windows Vista with service pack already on it?

    so, I'm running vista 64 bit basic, I want to do a fresh install,

    but my drive is very early (noservice packs ect) can I download of ms a basic family of complete up-to-date vista 64-bit with sp2 with my cd key? or should I shut up and make from my cd and cope? If I do a reinstall should I reinstall all my programs as well?

    Hello yaleblor,

    You can download the full SP2 for Vista from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16468

    Save the file to a CD/DVD or USB key.

    Once you have the service pack downloaded file, you can use your current Vista CD to install a fresh copy of Windows Vista on your C: drive. Once you have installed Vista you can install service pack 2 directly from the CD/DVD or USB you originally stored it on. All you then need to do is to run the Windows updates to update your system completely.

    You can find out how to do a clean install by looking at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install_windows_vista.htm

    After you install Windows Vista, you will need to re - install all your programs, so make sure that you have all the programs by hand before starting to consider reinstalling Windows.

    Hi Jffry10

    What are the files or folders you have a problem to access to the.

    I understand your frustration at not being able to access each file or folder on the system.

    If you have an earlier version of Windows like XP, there are many changes to the structure of the file system.

    Windows now contains some newer components such as junctions, symlinksand other NTFS system files that can cause major problems if they are handled, such as changing the permissions.

    These files and folders have the permissions defined on access denied / all design.

    I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.

    Where should I go from here

    Hello

    You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

    Read about Defender:

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

    If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  • I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit (Home Premium update) and I want to re - install Windows but in 64-bit. Will I still have Ultimate

    I have a Toshiba with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit (Home Premium update) and I want to re - install Windows but in 64-bit. Will I still have Ultimate?

    I'm going to re - install from 32 to 64-bit via the loader of windows recovery.
    This computer has asked ma to install 32 or 64 bit when I first turned on, I chose 32, but now I want to 64.

    It depends on. Is the license of Windows 7 Ultimate, a full version license or upgrade, or upgrade Express?

    If its an Express upgrade license, you will need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, then make the Express Windows 7 upgrade Ultimate edition using the Express upgrade key, you have.

    If you have a Windows 7 Ultimate full retail or upgrade version license, you can simply by using the 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate disc and do a custom Setup on the current installation of 32-bit.

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    What happens when it stops it is have a Sata driver. It is on the drivers cd you received with your computer. You can also start the computer and press F2 to enter the bios. From there down to Configuration system - SATA Operation and change this to ATA. It is located to AHCI. Save the changes and restart the installation. Once you have loaded Windows and drivers installed, you will need to go back to AHCI.
