Installation of Win XP on VMware failure - how to clean?

Please can someone help me here?

I'm new to the ths please bear with me.

I have VMware workstation 7.1 installed and I am running windows 7 ultimate on it with no problems yet.

Today, I decided to install windows XP Pro on the VM as well. However the win xp installation process could not be carried out at half way through the installation. It wasn't a matter of vmware, it's only fair that I couldn't find the serials of windows.

In any case, I stopped the installation, but now I want to remove anything xp installed on my host computer and free up disk space, so I can try to install another version of xp or the operating system.

Hope that makes sense guys, hope you can help,

Many thanks in advance,

Carlo.

By default, the files that make up a Virtual Machine are placed in their own folder by the name of the virtual machine and is located in the My Virtual Machines folder in your My Documents folder.  If you delete the folder target to the time called VM is the same as what do the instructions contained in the help file.

    A day at the start of a program on my computer that I used for years without incident, the computer suddenly fell down, restarted, and I got the infinite loop of system repair. No change in hardware/software, don't know if a recent Windows Update has been installed. Once again, CPU, mobo, Vid, RAM are the same for the past 4 years.

    After much frustration, I decided to just reinstall Win 7. So I deleted my partition, re-created a new partition and installed Win 7

    In the last step of the process of installing Win 7, it says Setup cannot complete. It is then stuck in a loop of reboot with a BSOD page fault in non paged area.

    I tried F8 on startup and choose Safe mode, but then he says that the installer cannot boot mode safe because the installation of Win 7 did not finish.

  • My original OS 7 Home Basic Edition (purchased): problem of Installation of Win 10

    Windows has AUTOMATICALLY upgraded to Win Ultimate who, as the replies received from your good end, has been described as false.

    To date, I had downloaded (free) Win 10, but when installing, I received a msg stating putting touches of the original VER of Win 7 Home Basic Edition (which I bought) and then click Refresh.

    Please notify: (a) I would require to REINSTALL my house 7 the CD database (since upgraded Ultimate is false since it was produced Acer OEM - SLP Win 7 Ultimate, and mine is customer built Gigabyte motherboard) before Win 10 could be installed.

    (b) if I didn't need to REINSTALL WIN 7 Home Basic, then how and where to insert the product keys (for Win 7 home basic) to allow the installation of win 10?

    Windows 7 can not auto-level to a ultimate edition. He must intentionally upgraded or a non-genuine Windows 7 Ultimate product key has been used for the Express upgrade.

    Your best option is to reinstall Home Basic, reactivate and then upgrade.

    Or, if you have basic Windows 7 Home Edition product key, you can use it to perform a new installation:

  • Win 7 installed as IDE - how to switch to AHCI

    I installed a new Win 7 Pro SP1 on a blank HARD drive and set it to all this.  Unfortunately, I didn't notice that the BIOS has been set in IDE, AHCI No.

    How to change the installation of Win 7 I can change to AHCI in the BIOS?

    Or should I start over?

    You don't have to start over. I did the same thing, and unlike some of the answers, I figured you must start over, I found, have not. There are some registry changes that can be made. Unfortunately, I am out of town and are my notes on how I've changed their house so I can't tell you how to do it right now. Search enough online and I think you can find the answer. I will try to remember to check on this tread when I get home next week.

  • Question about the installation of Win XP on Satellite Pro P200

    Hello

    It's a difficult topic-> XP on Vista machines.

    First: Yes, you can install XP on it because all the important factors are available (VGA, SATA, wireless, XP BIOS, BLUETOOTH) and that should be enough.

    Because your computer has a BIOS for Vista (I guess there a) Please install the BIOS XP first and then start the installation of XP. In the case that your HARD drive is not recognized then you need to install the SATA driver during the installation of windows XP. The procedure is described in the statement of the Satellite L40-> XP installation, so if you want to install and problems SATA (HDD, not during the XP installation), you must check the installation instructions for Windows XP for a SATELLITE L40!

    If you have additional questions, I recommend allows you to place your question here before doing something that may stop your nerves later. :)

    Hello

    Have you used the Toshiba Recovery CD or did you install the operating system from the original CD of Win XP?
    As far as I know the recovery procedure is very easy to use and it should work without any problems.
