• my daughter received a comp. from a friend that the hard disk has been deleted how to get windows xp back on it

  I downloaded windows xp from mirowsoft up to 6 discs of A which I just it ready for the cd of window xp I don't have.

  Hi cjoyner66,

  Thanks for posting. I'm confused on 6 discs A you're talking about. Windows XP can not hold on 6 floppy disks if that's what you are referring. If the hard disk has been deleted, you will need to use your Windows XP disk and reinstall Windows using this disk and the key associated with this record. If you don't have XP media, you must contact the OEM of your computer or buy an extra copy of the XP.

  I hope this helps!

• My computer crashed and Vista went; It has been pre-installed so I don't have disks; can I install a Windows 7 upgrade?

  I can't find my Vista even though when I type "winver" in the start menu, the computer says my I have Vista. Can I just install an upgrade of Windows 7 instead of buy a start-from-scratch OS? Thank you, Michael Higgins

  Hello

  There are different methods to reinstall Vista, without purchase you another license...

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

The problem has been ongoing for some time, but has become more common, that it shows by the pc is crawling along at less than snail PACE, or freezing. In the upper part of the casing, inbetween card reader locations that a red light, then it started to blink, then she stays all the time.

My thought is, as there are 2 hard drives that the second was not very useful, I could remove the current C drive and move the drive D and now in the C drive of slot and reinstall Vista there? My thoughts are that if I can do this and it works, then I could buy another drive to put in the D slot, do not want to waste money if it turns out not to hard dive. Of course, that would be much easier (in theory in my head who knows nothing) would just swap the drive letters. Now, when you're all finished rolling on the floor laughing hysterically (which I probably deserve), can someone offer me some ideas, suggestions, or help please? I would be very grateful, because I'm very close to throwing the pc out the window.

  The cost factor, an appropriate player motivated this answer because of your VIsta operating system.

  You must copy the data files on the D drive to C drive.  Although RAID0 conforms to the standards of the AHCI, it is better to change to AHCI in the BIOS. See here that will allow a single hard drive. (The old D disk be reformatted and installation of the OS). In the end, you will need an adapter (like this one) to convert the old disk USB file copying, files of data back to the newly installed C drive.  Such an adpater can be found on Amazon.

  I would have been back sooner, but I'm distracted.

• My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files

  I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.

  My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.

  My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.

  I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.

  There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!

  Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!

  I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
  Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.
  I did it a few times, but years ago and I DBX http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/how-i-open-corrupted-dbx-files-in-oe/ visualization tool
  You just continue to make attempts, using a tutorial after another.
  As long as you have these unchanged copies of backup of your DBX files, you should survive it - other than frustration. Email PC remains a mess.
