Multiple operating systems. How to get the double boot or sort and what's on the disk images?

Hello. I currently have Windows XP Home Edition on my desktop. I have an update for Windows Vista Home Premium. Both are 32-bit. I read this linkhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista. I have a few questions, I would like to precise please.

Can I add the upgrade to Vista on a separate hard drive? Is there a partition?

Do I need to install any other program infront of XP or Vista so I can dualboot? I have to if I wanted to add Win7 Home Premium 64 - bit as a bunch of sorting?

I'm not pure install, I understand that. I'm done with my XP havn't programs, it takes more time than expected.

Is it possible to create disk images or backups with more than one operating system installed? If I have an upgrade, I don't think that I can remove the previous installed OS (XP Home Edition) and have a Vista disk image work. At least I have clean install and only Vista is? I have Norton Ghost 15 and I wondered if I would be able to drive or backup XP image or upgrading to Vista at all, or together.

Can an upgrade copy, I change the material at all, or add anything internally?

XP SP3 on the desktop.

Hello

Yes, you need XP on your drive hard first to use the dual boot with Vista, after the restoration of ghosting for 2 hard drives.

If you only want Vista on the PC, then you will need to use your Vista installation disk to repair and install files on the hard disk Vista.

As for the reactivation, you should be able to activate again within 3 days on the internet, you may need to phone MS if you can't.

1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone and waiting for someone to help you with activation.

Your XP disk is more then likely an OEM version, which means that it is linked to the computer it was installed on.

So your Vista upgrade could also be tied to the PC you are upgrading to.

Please keep in mind that my answer is based on the information in your message. More the better I can answer, Slan go foill, Paul

  • How to get the background image to fill the browser and stay fixed in IE and Firefox?

    Basically what it says in the title. I came very close to achieve, but something comes to Moor in the html and css code...

    First of all, I use the latest version of Firefox and IE8 to test this situation.

    I used 2 sources of information to get this done: 1) http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/ and ) 2 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8958697/css3-background-size-cover-doesn ' t-make-image-co-ver-vertical


    In 1 case , the example of the called page CSS-Only Technique #1 gives the code that works almost perfectly for me, except that obviously I need to a background image, but the CSS provided ago obviously just for an image has fallen in the body of a page without taking account of any other content that may already be there. "The html code that I put on the page is simply < img class ="bg"src ="... / pictures/background_image.jpg "> "

    Of course, I used the CSS code in the example, less the last piece which is "@media screen" etc., which seems irrelevant to me. Of course by replacing the values according to the picture on my page.

    So what happened was that it worked almost as expected in both browsers (which means the image filled both browsers first as it should and also remained fixed when I zoomed in, inside or outside, in each case), except that the picture went on top of the current content that I already there precisely because there isn't a background in this 'technical '. (A note on the side of curious, is that the image didn't turn down content, I expected under normal circumstances, but he went right on top of it so she she hidden (like the z-index).)

    One thing that bothers me in this regard 'technical' is that if you click on view the demo just below the code provided, you will see on the example of work page (bottom of the forest), the image clearly works as a backdrop and the content is fortunately located on top! So I don't know if the person who provides the example was trying to deceive people or what! Or he got lazy and showed another page which did not use the exact code, he has provided. No matter.

    In any case this leaves me with only half-completed work, because I still need a background image that functions as the 'normal image' code provided.

    In 2 cases and on this page, the first example provided gives the CSS for clutter - namely the code in the html {...} part and shows also the same "normal image" code as shown in box 1. In this case however, that the person provide a suggestion, the html and the css is not really properly more Moor some css and html seems a little redundant. So this time, when I used the part "html" in the CSS code (i.e. just the bit that was no longer relevant), I had two different behaviors in each browser and neither of which was quite what I'm looking for. In IE8, initially the page seems well (background fills the page and the content is on top) but when I Zoom in or out the background also zooms in or out accordingly so is NOT fixed. In Firefox, the background image stays fixed, but because the image is initially not the height of the browser I guess the code it extends down (keeping the proportions - so the image enlarges essentially) to fill it. The fast way to get around it is probably add white space at the bottom of the image just to give it sufficient height is not extensible / resize automatically. But it would be nice to know at least how to work around this problem in the code. Overall, I would say that the result in Firefox is closest to the desired solution, but of course it is not arranged things with IE8.

    Apologies for the long description, but which should at least provide much info for anyone who might have a possible solution for me. Essentially what would be great is if someone could advise me how to take the code of case 1 and apply it to a piece of 'background' coding as the type that is contained in html {...} in Case 2 . Like I said, it is almost there, but I just can't operate atm after trying to combine different bits of code this way and that... Also, if anyone has another version of html-css that works well to achieve then please by all means of let me know! V thanks a lot in advance!

    It works in modern browsers of the CSS3 support.  But not pre - IE9.

  • Reinstalling Windows, how to get the disk recovery or a license Windows from Dell?

    I'm fixing an Alienware M17x R4 for my client.

    I talked with support before X mas 3 times. They said that they send the restore CD TOMORROW. I have the actual recorded call. Then they called 2 DAYS later and said that they could not confirm address, which is apparently derived from the record of initial purchase (?). Then they say that they send CD TOMORROW again. I'm about to give up Dell and buy a freaking OEM license. In fact, who suggested what Dell support! But then I have to load the Windows license to the client and tell them that Dell is hopeless.

    I would use a product key sticker to install since the OEM disc, but Dell has no more than 10 Windows.

    My QUESTION is; All the difficulty in getting the Dell Windows CD, I mean, it's really worth?

    Technically Dell sold a windows license but have not given one for the client, so it's a fraud.

    The key to the COA is incorporated in starting UEFI by Windows 8 moving forward, as such, as long that you install the correct version of Windows came with the computer, you should not put in any key.

  • How to get the best image quality when you insert PDF into Word?

    I am able to insert a PDF file as an object in Word, but the image quality is a bit fuzzy.  Is this what I can adjust in order to improve the clarity of the image in Word?

    You can try to extract the images with the help of extract all Images or select only the parameters of the screen recording you get when you save in a DOC, but I think that the general result is that the image recorded with the same resolution as shown in the PDF document. It may be that you simply adjust your screen in WORD. You can look at the picture in WORD and see if it is used at 100% or some other resolution. Bitmaps are not very forgiving if the resolution is changed to the document and not as something other than the small number of fractions of resolution appears change.

    Hi, my son has just been given an A200 and we put in place a new disk hard in, but we do not have the recovery disks. Anyone know how I could get my hands on copies or how to download the operating system and then is just a matter of inserting the disc?

    Hey Buddy,

    First of all I must say that it of not possible to download the operating system. It s just preinstalled on your laptop and you can find it on Toshiba Recovery disk as well.

    If you don t have a recovery disc, you can order one from Toshiba but I m not 100% sure if it of possible old Equium A200. Just check the online store:

    If you can t order it, ask a service provider authorized in your country. Maybe they have such a disc and can give you.

  • How to get the Subvi (the virtual path is in .exe) reference in Run Time System

    Hello world

    The problem is how to get the reference of the Sub - VI in run time system, when the Subvi is in .exe after construction.

    More details:

    Top of page vi called the Subvi dynamically, so that the Subvi is always included, and the source object is the application.exe.

    After the above configuration, the Sub - VI will be the application.exe. For example, the path of Subvi est...\application.exe\SubVI.vi

    So, how to get the reference of the Subvi in Run Time System?

    I can't do it when you use 'open reference VI' with le...\application.exe\SubVI.vi path in the run time system.

    In fact, I can create a file to include the Subvi, rather than build the Subvi in application.exe, then I can get the convenintly reference. But this isn't my favourate average.

    Thank you

    chenyin

    That is the problem. Call a Subvi dynamic means users could change, but it is also very attractive.

    The dynamic call should be used in a user control, but some parade can avoid problems.

    It depends on why you use dynamic calls...-online 2 main ways:

    -Dynamic call are used to maintain a scalable framework for the code without acting on the executable file-online a single VI distribution managed by the administrator/developer

    -Dynamic call are used to provide a collection of "external" characteristic that could be enriched by the administrator/developer. For example, you provide your customers a set of selectable custom signal filters in the executable.

    In 2 cases, you are only able to assess the skills of the users to know if there is a risk of damage, if there is a change.

    So to stay only master a parade might be to provide dynamic VI without a schema, but with the problem of maintenance, since no in-place editing and more attention to manage distribution.

    Another way is to hide the actual distribution to user-online call dynamic VI but it without name as *.vi but others (a repellent name as system of OS name ) or simply without extension in order to attract not user... but that's debatable...

    Another more difficult but more secure method is to create a consistency check before your routine (version, user, modified date,...)
