• Various installation with the Portege R100 and Windows XP issues

  Hello

  I recently bought a used Portege R100. It came without OS and I wanted to install XP SP2.

  I know that restorations only work with PCMCIA readers adapted, but the HARD drive is formatted, so there is no recovery possible I guess.
  Here are my problems:
  -with my very old Freecom PCMCIA CD player the Windows installation CD is recognized, and it starts to load the XP drivers until he wants to start copying files installiation--> then I get the blue screen of Windows with the error 00 x 7 (virus or driver)
  -the same thing happens with my former W2k Pro installation disc.
  -With the even more ancient W98SE, strange things are happening too: installation seems to work fine, but when it comes to start with W98SE, for the first time, the system hangs up with pixelgarbage.
  -Make the 6 Bootdisks with makeboot doesn't work anymore.
  -J' also tried MS-DOS! And guess what! It worked! Loading the Freecom drivers and copy of Windows I386 folder on my hard drive with the volkov Commander (something similar to NortonCommander) worked too! So I got hav files on my drive but after running Windows NT in the i386 folder, the system hangs after some time, when it starts to copy the files to a temporary folder.

  So I tried almost everything I know. at this moment I am download knoppix to try it.

  I ran Memtest86 and 9 Diskmanager to test the RAM and HARD drive, finished two withut errors, so the priority of main parts in the installation process seems to work. Maybe it's that my IDE controller is broken?
  I have no idea, WHY does he not move windows!

  Help is hot!

  Thank you

  It should work out that way, run you own your HD first in Fat32format - file-system, otherwise it won't work!
  Don't forget to use "smartdrive' in your BACK-commissioning, otherwise it will take a lot of time, even the 'freeze' is possible.

• call tech from Microsoft to try to sell me malware, ccleaner, spyware superaniti after the installation of the new operating system windows 7

  Dell technicians had me buy a new disk, Windows 7 OS, which I installed it yesterday.  A few minutes before, a phone call came in saying they were calling from Microsoft and I wanted to scan for free because I bought a product at Microsoft.  They had me download software teamviewer.com, ccleaner, malware, spyware superantii.  They ran scans and said I was infected and I should buy these software packages for $79.  Is this a real service of Microsoft?  I still have these software on my computer, I have to delete them?  What other threats may be present, if it is not a true service of Microsoft?

• Installation of the Hyperic Agent on Windows

  I'm looking for documentation advance right, or maybe an article blog or post on how install the Windows Agent so that I can monitor metrics OS invited by Hyperic.  Needless to say that the documentation is really bad and I'm having a lot of problems just trying to install the agent.  The installation of the server, if done correctly, was child's play.

  Thank you.

  Here's a quick list of operations to be performed if you are ok with the default settings.

  Open port 2144 in Windows Firewall if necessary

  Unzip the agent in a directory without spaces in the path.  Preference in C:\

  Launch a command with administrator permissions window

  Navigate to the bin of the Agent directory

  Run the following commands

  HQ - agent.bat install

  departure from HQ - agent.bat

  You will be prompted to enter the information necessary to configure the agent to communicate with the HQ Server

  You can take most of the defaults except the IP/hostname of the server, name of user and password.

  Also enter 'Yes' to the last guest on the Hyperic trust Server

  First thing: Please check: your machine has WWAN option?

  1. If so, is it gave to go with it? Your WWAN module supports your phone operator?

  2. If no, you must have WWAN module in order to use the SIM card. And the WWAN module must support your phone operator.

• Portege R100 - question about the installation of the USB port and Windows problems

  Hello

  I just bought a used Portege R100, but I have some problems. Of course the laptop isn't a CD or DVD, player so I tried an external DVD drive, but it did not work. What kind of device I have to install Windows (not an edition of recovery or anything like that, but a whole new windows on the formatted HARD drive)?

  I also have another problem: whenever I plug a USB device (I tried the DVD drive external and a USB keyboard) when I start the laptop, it seems to hang. At least, I am not able to type anything more; the keyboard of the laptop is dead (the point where the entrance would still be flashing in the BACK platform, but typing. sth on the keyboard isn't doing anything). It is not normal, is it?

  I also tried to get to the BIOS, but I tried various commands (F1 to F12, DEL etc.), but I couldn't access the BIOS. It would be great if someone could tell me the command for it.

  Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the bad English, I'm not a native speaker :)
