If I insert a Windows Installation disc in my existing PC, run a new configuration?

I intend to install XP by converting the contents of the disc to an ISO and then mount it in VirtualBox. But my main goal here is when I insert the disc in my drive, it let me access my regular PC, and show the installation process?

Thank you

You can insert the disc and it will have no effect on your installation running. You will not be able to start the installation of Windows XP in Windows 7. If you install on a virtual machine, the program you ask mount you an ISO or select the installation source such as disconnection of your physical disk, then connect it to the virtual machine.

    Hi Dominic,

    Are you able to get into BIOS to make changes?

    If so, you can try to reset the default settings of the BIOS and check.

    NOTE: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    You can also try to remove all external usb devices that can be connected to the system and start-up and see if the system boots.

    You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

    Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

  • Windows installation disc needs for a new disk hard but is not available

    Hello

    The hard drive on my PC HP badly shot - he tells me I need to check for consistency, but it cannot and will not run chkdsk on a restart and will not let me create a restore disk.

    OK, I accept that I need to buy a new hard drive but I have no CD to install Win 7. The pc has a partition called "factory secctings" but it will not create a cd of Windows or a restore cd or a Sun.

    Microsoft has said that it is not available for me because my serial number includes the letters OEM. I had a case created at HP, and a person called me and said I should get the CD of the os from Microsoft, or from the store I bought from (Staples). Staples said they have no CD for Win 7 and cannot make me a. They said get them from Microsoft or HP.

    The number of cases is 3016271460

    See that I get nothing from Microsoft, HP, or Stqples. I never got a CD with the pc because, I guess, it's there on the partition to factory settings, but with the failure of hard drive I can't use it.

    All have a suggestion?

    Your hard drive can hold the DEFECTIVE SECTORS.

  • Pro Windows installation disc 7

    Hi people.  Just got my Thinkpad Edge and I'm already tired of uninstalling all the bloatware.  Now in addition to this, the Windows updates fail to re-boot configuration part and I have to try again and again.  Is it possible to buy installing Windows Pro disc for my license?  I would like to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro.

    (unless the pgm of installation would be ID it in the BIOS?)

    Not the case.  Read the info in the links (I think it's there...).  You are installing from a download of Digital River.  Use a random key of Win 7 borrowed from another installation that corresponds to the version you are installing.  He fails, but offers telephone activation.  You call and MS gives you a key to activate with.

    At least that's how they say it works.  Mighty strange.  And - it does that for machines to gain 8-> 7 downgrade rights.  You can downgrade to Win Pro 8 but not standard Win 8.

  • The installation disc could not be found

    I get the same message continuously when I am bootcamp Windows 7 on my iMac mid 2010.

    I have read through the other threads here and searched online and nothing that I don't seem to make any difference.

    I have a iso, tried to burn on an external drive and a FAT format USB key.

    Downloaded the package of appropriate support bootcamp for my system.

    Followed all the instructions on the help page of training camp, but still can't make it work.

    I am gradually abandoned so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Chrischarge g ' Day,.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand from your post, that you have a problem installing Windows 7 on iMac (21.5 inch, mid 2010). I use Boot Camp dual-boot my system as well, so I know that it is important we have this installation problem solved. I have several things for you to try.

    First of all, it's a good idea to make sure you have a recent backup of important data from your iMac. The article below will help ensure that you have a recent backup:

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac

    Then, I see you are using Mac OS 10.6.6. Let us make sure that you have the latest version of the software installed for this OS (10.6.8). Please try to update by following this path: Apple menu > software update.

    Finally, it is important to respect the requirements and installation steps to install Windows 7 and older versions on your Mac with Boot Camp. The installation steps are unique depending on whether it is a new installation of Windows 7 or an upgrade installation of Windows 7.

    Perform a new installation of Windows 7

    Follow these steps if you install Windows 7 on your Mac for the first time.

    1. Start your Mac in OS X.
    2. Use the tables at the end of this article to make sure that you have a Mac that takes in charge the version of Windows that you are installing.
    3. If your copy of Windows 7 has come on a DVD, create a disk image of the installation disc for use with Boot Camp.
    4. Connect a 16 GB or more large USB flash drive you want to erase. Leave this connected to your Mac, flash player until the Windows installation completed.
    5. Open Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder (or use Spotlight to find it) and click on continue.
    6. Select only the options to create a Windows Setup disk and download the latest version of Windows software Apple support. Then click on continue.
    7. Insert your Windows installation disc, or choose your ISO Windows installation, then click on continue. Boot Camp erases your USB and he prepares for the installation of Windows. Once the flash player is prepared, close the Boot Camp Assistant window to exit the application.
    8. Use the tables at the end of this article to find that Windows supports the software (drivers) you need for the version of Windows and the Mac you're using.
    9. Click on the link in the table to download related software.
    10. Once the file is downloaded, double-click it in the Finder to decompress (unzip) it.
    11. Open the folder that results. Look for the following files in this folder and drag them to your USB Flash drive. When you are prompted if you want to replace the existing items on the flash drive, click Yes.

      $WinPEDriver$ (file)
      AutoUnattend.xml
      BootCamp (folder)

    12. Open the Boot Camp Assistant again, and then click on continue.
    13. Only select the option "Install Windows... or later."

  • Click on install, and then follow the prompts on the screen to re-partition your hard drive and install Windows.
  • When you have completed the wizard, your Mac restarts with Windows Setup. When you are asked where you want to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition, then click on drive Options and format your Boot Camp partition.
  • Follow the prompts on the screen to complete the installation of Windows.
  • Perform an upgrade of Windows 7 installation or an earlier version

    You can upgrade to the existing installations of Windows XP or Vista to Windows 7. You need at least 10 GB of free space on your Windows partition.

    1. Start your Mac in OS X.
    2. Use the tables at the end of this article to make sure that you have a Mac that takes in charge the version of Windows that you are installing.
    3. Download software support for Windows (drivers) bound to the table, or locate the OS X Install or the restore disc supplied with your Mac so rated.
    4. Decompress (unzip) download it and place it on a USB drive formatted in FAT (MS-DOS). Let this flash drive connected to your Mac during installation.
    5. Start your Mac from the version of Windows that you currently have installed.
    6. Use the Windows Installer to upgrade to Windows.
    7. After Windows Setup is complete, your Mac starts in Windows. In Windows, open the file "BootCamp.exe" on your USB stick or the installation disc supplied with your Mac. Follow the prompts on the screen to install the related drivers for your Mac.
