Is it possible to install XP in VirtualBox using a hard drive installation?
As the title says, I have a paper copy of the installation of Win XP and I wonder what steps I must take to install it in Oracle VirtualBox? I am currently using win7 as my main OS.
Hello
Since you want to install Windows XP on Oracle VM VirtualBox, it would be better to point out the query in the VirtualBox support forum.

Thank you.

How to install my game on my removable hard drive.
I need to know if I can install my game on my removable hard drive and if so, how? Thank you
Hi shananagan,
Yes, it is possible to install a program on an external hard drive.
Most of the program\game installation wizard allows you to choose a destination drive to install on; You can choose your external hard drive for the installation files reside.
If the game setup button does not give you a choice, in this case you cannot install it on the external hard drive.
Normally, Small\flash games can be installed on the external hard drive.
Note: When you install a program on the external hard drive, it made an entry in the registry of the operating system, the installed program may or may not work when the external hard drive is disconnected and re connected.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

If F9 does not run the diagnostic, then most likely to replace the hard drive. Once the new drive in place, start the recovery DVD series that was made when the PC was new. If you do not make them, or they are lost, order a new set of HP.

I have a HDD making noise and I would like to back up my files and folders, windows mail / my email and contacts so that I can install my system on a new hard drive without losing all my saved information and contacts
backup what option allows me to record the information of e-mail, my files and folders, settings of the computer basically everything but the system itself.
I have a full factory CD/CD that includes an image of windows vista (hp system recovery discs) but that does not include my email info or the files and folders to restore
or is it better to centre commercial simple backup windows separately and how can I do this?
I don't want to lose my contacts and my email saved during the backup process.
I understand the hardware drivers and additional programs will need to be reinstalled and I have all my disks associated with the addition of software/hardware.
Thank you

ProdID:V0Q01UA #ABA
Hello, so I performed a reset that restore my computer to factory settings, I have chosen to erase all files. I've done this before, and everything went well. What was going on, it was my disc useage was at 100% a lot and that something was wrong with my computer then I factory reset it. While the factory reset is 44% in "resetting your computer" and the next thing I knew I had 2 options, stop or start with advanced options. Well, I chose to stop it, 5 minutes later, I turned it back on and I ran a SMART check has no that was the ID # 9367LW-86J89N-MFPX7G-60BR3 followed by the product id that is shown above. He said that when I start to Boot Device not found, please install an operating system on your hard drive. Followed by the hard drive (3FO), I can only click f2 and it gives me the link to visit the Help Center. The computer saying that it did not have an operating system was not the first alert, that I had, it was something else saying there was an error of hard disk which then became not having not not an operting system. I tried to go to f11 and go in this way, but regardless of what it always comes back to the screen that shows the found boot device, please install an operating system. Help, please! Thank you. in advance.
He was sent to HP they will solve this problem, my warrienty coverd.

Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?
I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.
While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.
So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.
TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.
The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

Cannot install Windows 8 on the replacement hard drive
I got the replacement from Dell hard drive which he said would come with Windows 8 and pre-installed drivers. Well, I installed the hard drive and he said no. OS can be found. I didn't have a chance to make my own backup discs, but Dell sent a CD Windows 8 recovery media with the laptop and now with the replacement hard drive.
When you try to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive, I get to the part where it tells me to choose a partition to install Windows 8 on and none of them will not let me. There are 5 to choose from and I don't know what to do to get past this. The largest partition either 5A about 934 GB of space left out of 1 TB, but as I said I can't choose it or one of the other ones for the installation.
You just have to click on next, in any case, despite the message? Otherwise:
Start on the DVD of Windows 8, instead of install now, click repair your computer, Advanced Options, invites ... when it opens, type the following:
DiskPart
Select disk 0
cleanThen, try to install.
The above will remove all the data partition and disk, allowing you to do a clean install on an empty drive (these scores are not required, and Windows will create its own partitions (two) he needs to install and run).

Need to install windows 7 Professional on second hard drive
Computer of my sister was in place and I began to suspect that the HDD went wrong. I tried to do a reinstall on his computer and had no success. I now took his hard drive of his computer and installed in mine as a second hard drive, like that I had a working computer and could be able to explore his. I have been formatted for virgins out there and tries to use his professional disc of windows 7 to reinstall the operating system on the hard drive. I have windows 7 home on my hard drive, when I insert the disc that I had heard that he was asking me what hard drive, I tried to install it to, and he has not tried to install it on my original hard drive and he said that I had to use a upgrade disk and not this one.
How to install on his hard drive, so I can then take up and put back in his computer and see if it works. And also after that I get installed on the 2nd drive hard is there a way to try to boot from hard drive before that I have to remove to ensure it works well?Thanks for any helpWilliamIt's not going to work, but the startup information will be stored on your startup disk (one running Windows 7 Home Premium). If you did a dual boot on your system, then reinsert the disc in your computer of the sisters, she does not start. Now that you have properly formatted the drive, put it back into his computer and try the installation again.

Here's the situation, I reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop when it all of a sudden to stop. Now he cannot start Windows and only shows the Startup Repair tool. IM thinking if I can get my hard drive and put it in a hard drive enclosure and install windows in it as a hard drive external. And after installation, I will put the normal back on my laptop as a hard drive. Will this work?
Furthermore, I can't boot any disk installation because the built-in DVD player does not work, also I can not change startup option because I can't access the BIOS, there the password and I do not know. Please someone help! :( Thank you!As a general rule, Microsoft allows not 'officially' most versions of Windows (9 x--> 7) to boot from an external hard drive. However, there could be an exception to this rule. eSATA pregnant use signals to 'SATA' HDD on an "external" port
