• Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

  The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman). They told me that I could replace it (it will just keep failing until at last it dies just) but I have to re - install the operating system. The laptop comes with Windows 7 and I upgraded to 8 when it came out (I think). I don't have a recovery disk.

  How can I replace the corrupted hard drive and re-install the operating system?

  If I need to buy Windows 8, where can I find?

  Would it not easier that I left the repair shop handle it?

  Thank you in advance.

• Drive hard dead - new drive installed no operating system - XP key for that computer is portable hard disk newly installed?

  Changed the bad disk to another - XP key will transfer fees drive installed and how to make xp on the fresh drive?

  Sure. Just use the XP installation CD you used to install the operating system the first time. Or, if you have an OEM machine with a restore to original image:

  Most of notebooks and OEMs (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

  These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

  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.

• If you have ESXi installed on a USB drive.  Where are the comments operating system installed?

  I'm totally new to ESXi.  I googled this answer apparently simple like crazy, but couldn't find a solid answer.  If you install ESXi on a USB key or USB hard drive, where the guest os get installed?  On the same USB device because the ESXi OS is installed?

  I have a 40 GB usb hard drive, I want to install it.  I don't want to touch none of the disks in my PC at all, but rather run straight from the USB key (similar to the live linux race).  It will work all fine without any problem? I use it only for the purposes of learning, nothing major at this point.

  Welcome to the community,

  Unfortunately, this won't work. Virtual machines (i.e. the VMFS file system) are only supported on storage 'fast', i.e. the SSD/HDD or shared storage LUNs. You cannot create a data store VMFS on a USB device.

• Made a big mistake in trying to get rid of the partitions on the coming Pro 8. Operating system does not load!

  Hello

  First time on this type of forum so I hope that what I write is logical.  So, here.  I have improved my coming 8 Pro for Windows 10 and after the update it told me that I needed to make space on the disk.  I looked and there is not a lot of programs that I have removed looked beyond and found that there are 2 partitions that had almost 6 shows assigned to them which were not used.  I tried to reclaim that space.  I made a copy of recovery on the micro SD and that seems to work very well.  Then I fiddled around until I could remove the 5 + GB partition and reassign it to the primary partition.  The second partition (about 750 MB) I was able to free up, but as it was before the main partition, I wasn't able to retrieve space in the primary partition.  I downloaded a utility recommended to try to move at the end of the main partition so that I could get it back like this.  Everything seemed to work but it stopped crashing and I got a blue screen of Windows saying that "the application or the operating system could not be loaded..." ».  I figured out how to get into the bios to see if I could change the boot sequence, I created a windows 10 bootable USB and after a lot of work finally got the tablet to boot from USB.  At this point, Windows 10 wanted to re - install (which I'm fine with) but the only problem is that the touch screen unresponsive!  I assume that the driver is not loaded on a USB boot.

  Now I am trampled.  I don't really know how to go further.  Is there a way to get the drivers to load from the USB?  Can I send my tablet in a magical place where qualified technicians will be re - build it for me?

  Any assistance or moral support would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Richard

  Would you go through the process, and when you need to use the touchscreen, join via the microUSB port and an adapter USB OTG, a wired keyboard (and mouse wired, if necessary, via a multiUSB adapter attached to the adapter USB OTG) and then complete the installation of this way?  At this point, you can download the required drivers from the Web page of the Dell product support and win your touch screen feature back.

• Is it possible to have the 64-Bit and 32-bit operating system installed on the same computer?

  * Original title: installation of window OS

  Hi all

  In my system, it's already installed 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to install 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Is it possible to have two operating system installed on the same computer? Can I do it?

  PL, guide me positively.

  Best regards

  Kapil Kumar.

  The amount of RAM is okay as long as you have a minimum of 2 GB installed. Even if you have more than 4 GB, it would not matter, Windows 7 Home Premium just won't recognize it.

  In respect with the both, you can set up a dual-boot configuration. Please note that you must have a unique product key to activate Windows 7 Home Premium.

  See the instructions how to set up a partition:

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/dual-boot-Windows-10-other-versions-Windows/

  References Windows 10, but the same instructions for Windows 7 also work.

  Click Start, right-click computer, click on manage

  Click on disk management

  Select the system partition in which Windows 10 is installed. Right-click, and then click on cut.

  

  Enter the amount of space you want to allocate to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, then click on cut. The more, the better.

  

  An unallocated partition will now be available. Right-click, and then click New Simple Volume

  

  This will start the wizard new Simple Volume, which will allow you to format, assign a drive letter and volume label.

  

  Once your partition is ready, you are now ready to install Windows 7

  Boot from the Windows 7 Home Premium disc, then

  Click Custom (advanced option)

  

  Select the partition we created earlier, and then click Next.

  

  Wait for the copy of the Windows installation files.

• Help resizing partition to allocate more space to the operating system

  I shared the size of my HD between OS & Windows when I partitioned.  I do not use Windows often but it's nice to have.  I would like to allocate more space to the operating system I use the low disk space.  I've seen several posts on the removal of Windows, the partition and then re-create it with the new size.  I also saw people talk about other programs to do.  What is the best way to do it without compromising the integrity of my HD?  OS X 10.10.5 - Windows 7 SP1 64 bit

  Thank you.

  The Apple-supported method is to remove Windows (Wizard BC only) and re-install Windows on a smaller Windows partition. Third-party tools come in a variety of commercial to the OpenSource and will work with varying degrees of success.

• Fees and new drive hard install XP operating system?

  Hi all
  I have a Sony Vaio, which was purchased at Costco in 2004 and has Windows XP Media Center Edition installed according to the sticker on the back of the computer.
  The hard drive was out at the time of the computer and installed in an enclosure so that the data could be accessed the laptop for my wife a few months ago.
  Well, I wanted to install a new hard drive in the computer with a new installation of the operating system so that our children can use the computer, but I've never done this before.  So here's my question:
  If I go on eBay and buy a Windows XP Professional OEM with COA key I can install it on this computer, or must be Windows XP Media Center Edition?  When I went to Google I read how if you have Windows XP Media Center Edition (or any other edition of windows by the way) on a computer that is the only operating system that can be installed on this computer.  But I have more than one other computer that I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium, Ultimate without problem through an Anytime Upgrade Microsoft.
  I guess that the main reason that I'm asking because we lost the Microsoft Disc supplied with the computer, so I'll have to buy a drive one way or another and I just wanted to know what my options are.
  Thank you very much for any help any of you are able to make.

  You can install a commercial version on your Sony.

  I would not buy it from eBay you have no guarantee that the key is not in use.

  You should buy from a retailer or an online store.

  As your sony will not run Vista or Windows 7, you have no choice but to install XP.

  A better and cheaper choice would be XP Home Edition for children.

  Don't forget, support XP stop April 8, 2014 so that gives you 1 year and 9 months.

  After that, is no longer security update will be available for XP.

  http://www.Ubuntu.com/

  The link above is a free operating system, so no $$$ to pay, you can download it or get it on CD

  I got on the CD 5 years, they have sent to me and even paid shipping.

  I don't know what options are available right now, so you'll have to visit their site.

  Also in contrast to support XP for Ubuntu does not end.
