Move the disk with Windows 7 to a new box
I have Windows 7 installed on the drive HARD n ° 1 of my Compaq desktop computer. The power supply fails to start (with the light flashing on the PS). I have another almost identical box with a faster processor and more than 50% of available memory. The disk HARD #2 in the box Windows 7, but it is indicating that he is not an authorized copy. I would like to move the HARD disk #1 to the new box and wipe the old disk, HARD drive #2 to use for storage, etc. When I installed the HARD drive #1 existing, HDD #2, I can see the #1 disk, but it does not start to it. I can access the files #1 but I can't to start her.
I tried to boot on it in the start menu, but it does not start.
I can make this transition? What should I do to make this work?
Still don't give us the information complete, that we need.
It's a detail or full an OEM System Builders license for the edition of Windows 7 Ultimate?
Everything you say is that you bought.

Windows 8 corrupted installation TrueCrypt encrypted another disk with Windows XP
Hello, I need help. I just installed new Windows 8 on an empty partition of the secondary drive.
The first drive I got the previous installation of Windows (XP). Unfortunately, I forgot, this hard drive is encrypted TrueCrypt. Windows 8 now works OK, but the disc with Windows XP seems to be empty. The other partition of the disk with Windows 8 works fine.
I have the TrueCrypt rescue disk and he managed to restore the TrueCrypt Boot, but when I try to start, he writes, that no bootable partition was found. It allows us to decipher the drive and when I start it, it seems to work, but it is too slow and I need to know if this can help. Try to restore a Volume of TrueCrypt header in Windows 8 fails ("way of wrong installation, wrong password or not a TrueCrypt Volume"). Pourrait installing Windows 8 format the drive?
(Sorry for my bad English)
Later: I tried data recovery, and it shows some files and folders http://postimg.org/image/9xt33kmw5/Hi Daniel,.
The drive that contains Windows XP displays empty because the file format of Windows XP is FAT (File allocation table) that is not supported by Windows 8. Windows 8 uses NTFS (New Technology File System). I would say to contact TrueCrypt support to check why the description of disk takes a long time. In Windows 8 If you want to encrypt or decrypt the data, you can use bit-locker installation. I suggest you to see the following links for more information on encryption of bit-locker.

I can't boot into windows xp. The windows logo comes on but then a black screen blank (you can see and move the cursor with the mouse however) is displayed.
anesvet,
I'm going to sound like I'm repeating myself tonight... (see previous 4 posts...) but try this:When you start start pressing F8 until you get the Windows startup options. Then try "Last known good configuration" see if that helps. If this does not work, try to F * then try to go to Safe Mode. If those who do not help, I would start with your XP CD to recovery mode and run "chkdsk/r" then "sfc/scannow". QQ learn manage!

How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.
I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)
If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.
If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

Impossible to move the camera with the touchpad in the games while moving in Windows 8?
I've seen this happen on two Toshiba laptops now, I can't move the camera with the touchpad in games like TF2 while I also move with WASD keys. The problem disappears when I use an external mouse, even if, I was wondering if anyone else has this problem, and if someone has solved. I disabled the Edge slides in the Synaptics Control Panel if it helps.
Thank you in advance! :)Edit 15/5: I did more research, and it seems that there is a feature called "PalmCheck. I am yet to confirm because I'm away from home, but I will as soon as POSSIBLE.Solved! The feature was PalmCheck Synaptics Control Panel.
To fix:1. look for 'mouse', click on settings, then 'Mouse' with the mouse icon.2. click on device Options.3. click on settings.4 expand the category of "pointing".5. click on PalmCheck, then the small icon of gable beside him.6 move the cursor to a Minimum or offshore.7. apply, OK, and you're done! -
I have a problem of my catalogs of PES 10 displacement and the photos attached from my old computer with Windows XP on my new computer with Windows 10. How can I keep my original photo folders tree arrangement when I restore backups of catalog on the new machine?
The problem arises because Windows 10 is equipped with a new tree structure with new names for many of its branches. Tree of Windows XP starts to Local Disk (C), and then does the following: Documents and settings, Susan [it's me the user], My Documents, SusanPhotos (the folder that I created that contains my photos) and then several subfolders and subfolders with my photos grouped by theme, for example the Puglia Italy and Italy-Roma. My new computer Windows 10 has a different tree and different names for a large number of branches from early on: OS (C) [instead of Local Disk (C)], users, Susan, Documents [instead of the old My Documents], SusanPhotos [what I created] and then the subfolders and so on.
Because of the new tree and the new names of the branch, I can't find a way to restore my PES 10 catalogues and photos attached to them to where I want to that they. What I want to do is put the files from SusanPhotos to the Windows 10 Documents folder so that I find myself with the following tree, essentially the same as what I had on my old machine: OS (C), users, Documents, Susan, SusanPhotos, then the original subfolders with my photos. Apparently 10 PSE does not allow me to move folders of photos in the Organizer, so that the pictures stay connected.
PES 10 offers 3 options for restoration: Original, personalized and customized, keeping the original structure of the file. Here's what happens to each:
(1) original creates new folders with the old names and the structure of the tree, parallel to the tree Windows 10 has instead of inside the tree Windows 10.
(2) custom with the original structure of the file is the restaurant where I want (within the SusanPhotos) but retains all branches superfluous-instant initial tree of Windows XP, production: BONES (C), users, Documents, Susan, SusanPhotos, Documents and settings [carried over from the old computer], Susan, My Documents, SusanPhotos, Roma-Italy and Italy-Puglia and so on.
(3) custom (without checking the original file structure box) makes every SusanPhotos but without any organization: OS (C),..., SusanPhotos, Italy-Puglia and Italy-Roma and all other folders at the same level instead of in their original nested groups with subfolders.
The first two methods you end up with a tree that is chaotic with two parallel trunks or a single trunk but with several redundant layers carried over from the old computer. The third ends with no tree at all.
One solution would be to make a Custom Restore with the original structure of the file and then use PSE10 to move the folders that I would like. However, AFAIK, PSE10 I cannot move entire folders of photos, only of individual pictures. With thousands of photos in hundreds of cases, the time required for the movement of individual pictures is prohibitive. PSE10 allows me to move the catalog folder, but apparently not the folders containing the photos.
The result is that at this time I have no solution to my problem. Can you help me find a way to restore my photos while keeping their original organization?

You simply use the 'Files' Panel on the left. Your folder tree appears. Simply, you drag and drop the folder to move with all its subfolders in the desired master file. That works exactly as in Solution Explorer, so be patient, you receive no message of progress until it is completed.
You did a good job to understand the situation. I think that might help you is to understand that changes in the way default folders are created in a different version of Windows can be ignored if you do not use these structure 'default', from the shortcuts to your main folder of the user.
I create a master folder 'My Photos' directly under the C: root.
When I restore, I use the "custom" choice, as you have discovered, I only specify this folder in the restore process, and I completely ignore the default shortcuts to 'Documents' or 'Image '.

How to move the King with the castle on the titans of chess?
I'm not sure of what is called the movement but in titans of chess, the computer moves the King with the Castle, how to make the same move? I'm new to this, so any help would be a great help.
It is called castling.
You can even move if 1) the King and the Tower never moved, 2) if the King is not in check, move in a square in failure, or end up in failure, 3) there is no room between them.
You can Castle, by touching the King and you'll see there is an option to pass 2 or 3 squares toward either Rook, who will perform the Castle. Paul Smith - MVP for Windows desktop experience...

Files dump debugging and log files to install in the disk cleanup window
The two points above appear in my disk cleanup window, and I wonder if it is o: k to remove. The first occupies a space of 283 KB and the other 2537 KB. The description of these two files in the disk cleanup window is "files created by Windows.
I have a second question: I have about 5 GB left as free space on my hard drive of 'C '. If this is considered sufficient, or should I get more? I am a senior retired and only use the computer for basic items.
I have a computer Dell Dimension 4100 with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP - Home Edition Operating System - desktop, 111 Pentium with 930 MHZ, 20 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. The file system is FAT 32.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and your response.
"Debug dump files" are copies of the contents of your computer's memory.
When a program crashes, it will sometimes "dump" all or part of the
contents of the RAM to a file on your hard drive. The file is useful to
a technical support person who tries to understand why the program
crashed. (Most of the tech support people have no idea what to do with a dump
file.)Unless you have been asked to submit a dump for inspection file, feel free
to get rid of them.Setup logs files are "log" installation of a program. If you
Watch a (they are really just text files - open with Notepad) you will have
see that they give a blow by blow description of how the program has been
installed, glorious detail.If a program does not properly settled, the Setup log will tell you what that
was wrong. If you have not had a facility wrong, do not hesitate to ditch
These files as well.On the question of how much free space on the disk is enough... There is no
standards. 15% of your drive must be empty in order for Windows

The problem with Windows update - automatic updates service won't start not (error 126)
original title: the problem with Windows update
Please help me to get Windows Update operational return.
XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP3
Had a problem with "Generic host process for Win32 has encountered a problem and needs to close." Follow-up of the instructions on this link:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931852Seems to have cleared the error message. So far so good.
However, now a Windows Update does not work. Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab. But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.
I also went to the control panel > Services. Tried to start the automatic updates service. Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer. Error 126: The specified module could not be found
I already followed several instructions on this subject:
In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August. According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security. At this time, my network card has stopped working. On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum. The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software. I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again. Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.
I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737. The difficulty it has worked very well.
Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058. When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv. The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step. Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges. Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.
[1]... looks like you are saying that my system is so wet that a clean install is the (only?) way to go.
[2] if I do a clean install, not only what I need to reinstall Windows and all my applications, I also have to reinstall the drivers... Etc. ?
[3] I think I have the disks supplied with the PC system. Is it better to use than to use the recovery partitiion?
[4A]... is there a possibility that some of [my data are] infected?
[4] preventing me from simply infect the whole PC again?
A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.
A2. Yes.
A3. Only not really well using the restore Partition hidden to make the "destructive recovery" will include all drivers, etc., that have been installed at the factory.
A4a. Yes, a real possibility.
A4b. You run at least three 3 tests on the backup data before restoring one (1) with your installed & updated up-to-date anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials) and two 2 with good reputation, free online scans (e.g., ESET;) Bit Defender; Kaspersky; HouseCall; (F - Secure).
If you have saved your data on CD/DVD, the disc scanner. If you have backed up your data to a flash drive, SD card, or another external drive AND KB971029 is installed, analyze the drive.
