  • Win XP host gets restart everything install Windows 8 comments in VMWare Workstation 9.01

    Hello

    I have a machine that running Windows XP SP3 with 2 GB (DDRII) of RAM with Intel Core 2 E7400 2.80 GHz processor. I want to test Winodws 8 before you install on this machine. I have download and install VMWare Workstation 9.01. Then I rebooted my system and went into my BIOS and put the "No.-Execute memory Protection" 'Activate' and the system boots. Now when I try to install Windows 8 in the VMWare machine, which I set up for the OS, just like the VMWare logo screen with the F2 and F12 options my whole system restarts.  Someone at - he meets this type of problem?

    I think that if the goal here it to test Windows 8 then I uninstall VMware Workstation 9 and try VirtualBox and see if this causes the same question.  Another thing you can do is give it a try on your host using Memtest86RAM, or similar, to make sure that's not a problem with bad RAM to a greater address then you normal would not not a VM running.   If RAM tests OK and works of VirtualBox, you can always try an earlier version of VMware Workstation, but I think not v7 supports Windows 8 as a guest.  I've used VirtualBox for Windows 8, and it worked very well!

  • How to install Windows XP on a Windows Vista using Vista workstation to install XP in a separate mode dual-boot partition.

    If you have a Windows XP workstation it is a piece of cake to install Windows Vista on the same workstation using the dual-boot using a separate on the same hard disk partition...  However, the main centre recently received a large number of donations new jobs Lenovo ThinkCentre with factory installed and perfectly running Vista operating systems.  Question: Is there a procedure that would allow using Vista to install Windows XP on these workstations dual-boot mode?  Workstations must be used in a class of main center where we need to teach using either XP or Vista depending on student needs.   A second hard drive would allow such a facility.  But we would like to use a 2nd partition on the existing hard disk of Vista to install XP.  However, Microsoft has always included features in its Windows operating systems that overcome by using the current operating system to install an older version of the OS.  There must be a work around there somewhere.  Thanks for your help.

    If you have any available records of vista, you could make a partition in disk management (right click computer, manage, enable the UAC and then go into disk management.)  Shrink the partition and format it with NTFS free space.)  Then boot from the XP disc and install it.  Once you have completed the installation of xp. Start the vista disc and go to the repair options.  Go to a command prompt and type "bootrec.exe /fixboot" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.  After restart, you should see a start with windows vista and xp listed menu.  If xp is not in the list, let me know and I can tell you how to add it.

  • Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?

    Greetings!

    The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.

    I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?

    What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?

    I do not understand your question about "interface."

    The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.

    See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab

    Your computer was preinstalled with:

    Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)

    and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.

    My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.

    Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows.  That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».

  • [Workstation 12] Cannot install Windows 10 Professional x 64 (RESOLVED)

    I think it would be a pretty normal scenario but I can't finish one out of the box of Windows 10 Professional x 64 installation.

    1. I mount my ISO and read the notification "Could not detect which operating system is in this image to disk." and click Next.
    2. I chose Windows 10 x 64 that the version since it is what it is, and then choose the location.
    3. I choose the type of BIOS firmware as EFI would not work.
    4. I choose 1 processor with 2 hearts.
    5. I chose 8192 MB RAM.
    6. I chose NAT for networking.
    7. I chose LSI Logic SAS because it's my only choice, the two other State not supported.
    8. I chose (recommended) SCSI
      1. I also tried IDE
      2. I also tried SATA

    Installation of Windows 10 starts and basically, it runs until it asks for a driver, probably because he feels like he can't install on a disk. I mounted the ISO VMware tools to see if he had any useful drivers, but it did not.

    I then installed again and point 8, I chose SATA and it did not have a difference however run diskpart shows that a drive is available! I've added another car also, an IDE, the same hard drive, now I see two drives but I can not install either!

    What everyone by installing Windows 10? I expect, it is a breeze as all the other BONES, and considering how many people are commenting on VMware with Windows 10, I can't wait for each VMware Workstation user jumped through hoops to make it work... it's frustrating!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Your image ISO of Windows 10 is almost certainly corrupt.  Check the size of the file and the MD5 or SHA1 checksums against those who are posted to the Microsoft Download page and maybe download a new copy.

    12 workstation will not report "not able to detect which operating system is in this disk image" for a picture of Windows 10 ISO complete and valid.

    See you soon,.

    No, you can't. No matter how many records he has, the computer was delivered
    with a license for Windows 7, for a computer.

    I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
    has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
    you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
    one or both.
    This traditional desktop Interface is almost identical to Windows 7
    interface; the biggest difference is that there is no Orb start
    Click to bring up the start menu. But note that you can get the beginning
    Orb back using one of the many third-party programs, either for free or
    very inexpensive (Classic Shell to)
    http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
    http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
    Debut8, but they are both very good).  And goes from an interface to
    the other is very easy; There are several ways, but simply by pressing
    the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.
    Just install one of these two and using the traditional desktop computer
    interface may be a better choice for you than going to Windows 7.
    I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with traditional workstations
    the interface and with 8 Start installed. If you were to look at and use
    my computer, you would have a hard time realizing that it is not
    Windows 7.

  • Newly installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 works not properly.

    I have a Dell Dimension 4300 S and I recently installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 from the disc I have. When I try to download the SP2 and SP3 from Microsoft I get this box that says "extraction error." I can't download anything and sometimes, when I'm on the internet on this computer, it says "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" and I send error report and, sometimes gives me the blue screen and starts dumping memory. Also, it wont let me on the Windows Update page and the computer won't auto updates.

    Does anyone know what is the problem? I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 two or three times now and linked the repair disk, and I always get the same problems.
    Let me know if I have to give any specs or whatever it is.

    Love the help I'm getting here. :)

    Sorry for the delay but this is a public forum, the vast majority of us here are simply users of Microsoft products (even those with MVP behine their names which is just an honorary title) as help you others when we can. We have no affiliation with Microsoft, nor do we receive any advantage whatsoever, we are just volunteers. Occasionally, a Microsoft employee can post but it's pretty rare. On your workstation.

    After having reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP1a have you installed the necessary drivers? This includes drivers for the motherboard (chipset), audio, video, LAN (network adapter), and so on.  If this is not the case, check the page linked below:

    Since SP1a was part of the reinstallation, you will only need to install SP3. The page below the States 'in order to install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) "installed.".

    I know that the above download is 316 MB and will take time to download, but from my experience, I had much better luck with that route. In addition, you can then save SP3 on a CD if you need to reinstall again.

  • Downgrade the license key to install Windows XP Pro image

    Hello

    I bought 4 desktops additional whitebox from my provider. He said they can't get licenses of Windows 7 and I have them for us. We have a Windows SBS domain with about 60 workstations XP Pro. The new jobs all have the same Mo as some previous purchases and we 'pictures' for these machines on our network. I often have to change on a workstation with the other due to software or other issues, so for now, I don't want Windows 7 on a machine that I have to train someone on if I have to spend on their machine.

    How I can or I can 'image' machines with XP Pro and use Windows 7 key to activate the operating system?

    I don't want to go through the process of installing Windows 7 on all these machines and I then have to do the downgrade to XP on each. And if I have to 'image' of this box of I need now another "image" of Windows 7?

    And finally, if I'm having to go through these hoops, do I need a XP Pro license key for the downgrade after inserting the XP Pro CD on the Windows 7 machine?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello DoubleAce,

    Microsoft offers rights to downgrade you can have a look through the following links:

    GIovanni of tanks

    The issue is Basic but depends on whether it is the

    Optional PERC 6 / i material integrated PCI - e SATA/SAS RAID or card INTEL RST driver AHCI.

    Advanced Format drives NEED F6 drivers.

    Also the Raid container must be configured CTRL m and initialized before installing the operating system.

    Windows 7 requires INTEL RST 9.6

    Intel RST replaces Intel Matrix Storage Manager.  HOWEVER you cannot update to your hearts content of 7-8-9-10 11-12 or 13 etc.  As newer chipsets and drivers get the older ICH5 6 7 8 9 etc. are removed from support.

    I have a new SSD for my workstation Precision 7510.  I need to install windows 7 on it from the DVD provided by Dell.  The DVD has no drivers and so when I try and install, I get a message about "the installation media does contain not all drivers" and the installation will not allow me to continue.  Keep in mind that my new SSD has no partition recovery or in fact any partition.  I have a drivers Cab file and I also have this unpacked on a USB key, but it does not appear as a disk when I "Browse".  Neither the new SSD - t - there no partitions...

    Do I need to format the SSD drive first?

    Could someone tell me where I can get the drivers and all that forms, they must be in?  In other words, I need to burn it to a DVD, and what would the structure of directory?  Do I have to download all the drivers separately - there are a number of EXEs on the support site, or can I use the Dell Enterprise site CAB file?

    I tried various things now since a few days and I'm losing my grip on reality :)
