installation of operating systems

I want to replace my operating system do I have to remove the current operating system before installing the new drive

Hello

You don't tell us what operating system is installed, or which operating system you want to clean install or upgrade to.

There are ways of upgrading the OS to OS, depending on the particular operating systems and different editions of them.

We need more information.

See you soon.

Edit: Also include if you have a Full or Upgrade License for the new operating system, etc.

  • Qosmio F30-114 - a problem with the installation of operating system

    Hi all
    I have a problem during the installation of operating system from the recovery disk (Win XP Media Center Edition).
    After loading the disc, I seen the installer welcome window, set up all the parameters in it and pressed the OK button.
    After that, an error has occurred (in a black console window):

    Check the type of partition MBR
    Not FOUND: Partition ID 4 is 0x00 not 0 x 88

    Also I can not install another OS (Win 7 for example), during the last part of an installation, I get a message "the work cannot be completed.".

    That's happened? I don't understand what is the reason for this problem. I was reinstall another OS (the drive recovery too) often earlier and everything was OK.

    You can install WXP using the Microsoft installation disc?

  • Installation of operating system problem

    I installed windows 8 via a usb port... After it was installed, it took too much time then I restarted the system... But after that, nothing has worked... First, he showed that no operating system has been found... Then you are prompted to restart the system and reinstall windows... And it kept saying... If I remove the USB he invites me to restart and nothing else works... pressing f10 or shift + f10 is not even open the prompt... and if I insert the usb key I get the BOOTMGR missing... Press ctrl + alt + delete to restart... I tried evrything... f2, f12, f8 or f6... nothing happened... How to fix this... I can't even not the bios or Setup... even to the registry editor...

    Power the system down, it turns the power off and wait 10 to 20 minutes.

    Plug it in again after 20 minutes and start the thumb drive and make a custom installation:

    Boot from the Windows 8 USB key
    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 8 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.

  • Installation of operating system on a new hard drive

    My compact presario v4832ea hard drive just died yesterday. It's a Toshiba MK8025GAS - 80 GB Ultra ATA/100 EIDE hard drive - 5 400 rpm, 2.5 inches of width, height 9.5 mm. Now I think to upgrade to a bigger, but I don't know if I'll be able to use the installation CD of Windows Xp with a hard drive to a different size. I am fearing a message in the sense of "can not install operating system. Incorrect hard drive size.

    You never know...

  • Start of message network AMD during installation of operating system prompted

    Hello

    I am trying to install a guest operating system in Vmware Workstation with an ISO of Windows XP SP3, I got MSDN subscriptions.

    Configure the virtual machine using the new Machine virtual Wizard of VMWare Workstation (I choose the option "Typical") and "install the operating system later. After the initial installation, I point the device CD/DVD virtual machine for the ISO of Windows XP SP3 file on my hard drive.

    My Version of VMWare Workstation is: 7.1.0 build 261024

    Host operating system is: Windows 7 Ultimate

    Regarding the CD/DVD device:

    "Connect at power on" is already selected.

    Device type is: IDE 1:0 CD/DVD (IDE)

    I checked the file type of the ISO file I got from MSDN and it is indeed an ISO as shown below:

    en_windows_xp_service_pack_3_x86_cd_x14 - 60489.iso: # data filesystem ISO 9660 CD-ROM "GRTMUPD_EN".

    When I start the virtual machine, I press F2 and go into the BIOS. Change the boot order by moving the CD/DVD-ROM option to the top of the list in the boot order. Press F10 (to save changes to configuration of startup and exit). However, even after this, the VM tries to boot from the network boot device. I have attached the screenshot of the message that I get for the network boot.

    Why the VM starts not using ISO that I mentioned the Virtual Machine CD/DVD device to file?

    Please note that I don't have any physical device CD/DVD in my computer. However, I don't think that should have an impact on it because VMWare Workstation will virtualize for the Virtual Machine's CD/DVD-ROM material, even if the physical machine (host) does not have a CD/DVD ROM.

    I used the procedure above to correctly install the Windows XP SP3 guest OS in the past, but now, it doesn't seem to work. It seems that booting from CD/DVD-ROM does not work and it goes to the default startup network every time. Please help me solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Hi NeonFlash,

    You probably have a disk that contains just to Service Pack 3, for the installation of the Service Pack on top of an existing instance of Windows XP.

    Search for download separately from Windows XP with Service Pack 3 on MSDN and download this one.

    See you soon,.
