• Can not install the new copy of windows xp home edition

  A friend has built a computer for me and my friend it works for me.  Everything goes ok, then it stops working because the friend has installed a pirated copy of Windows XP Professional on this topic.  OK, I'm a little angry, but I can cope.  I had bought a new copy, never been used before, Windows XP Home Edition a couple of years to my old copy that I ended up not using.  When this happened, I thought it would be great, I could install that.  So, I turn on my new computer and let it boot.  When it comes to the screen, saying that I don't have an authentic copy of Windows installed, I open my CD drive, and then press the button so he can go back into the computer.  I have no mouse or keyboard control so I can't select all and nothing happens after that the disk will inside.  Nothing, I can't even hear anything running.   I would try to solve this problem without having to take Office Depot where they charge me $ 99 for "try" to fix it.  I don't have a job, so fix me it is my only option.  Any help out there in the cyberland?  Thanks for any help.  I'm on my dad's computer if you're wondering how I'm even able to send this way.  Laughing out loud

  I do not understand what you're doing or why nothing seems to happen, but the fundamental question that you have, it's that you cannot "upgrade" from XP Pro to XP Home.

  Assuming you can still start Windows (even if you get the notice that it is not authentic), copy all your data on some external support (external drive, USB flash, CD, DVD) and then perform a new installation of XP Home.  Once Windows is installed, you need to restore these data and you will need to re - install applications (programs) that you have installed (for example, Microsoft Office), so you'll need to find the installation for the applications media.

  Because it is a home-built computer, you must obtain all the necessary drivers on the web sites of various hardware manufacturers.  Most likely you will need are motherboard (chip), display (video), (audio), network (including wireless and modem) and any device (e.g., printers).

  Use the computer that you use to post here in order to download drivers and save them to a flash drive or burn them on a CD.

  I guess that your boyfriend (ex?) didn't give you all the documents with the computer (e.g., the motherboard manual or manuals for other equipment he installed).  If you can enter in your current Windows installation, click Start > run > msinfo32 > OK.  Click on the 'Components' category and look at the different devices to determine their models and manufacturers.  Motherboard information (you need to get the drivers of chip set) is not indicated in msinfo32.  Use BelArc Advisor (free)

  How to do a clean install of XP:

  http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

  Don't forget - when installing from a Windows XP CD, you'll probably not the current service pack (service pack 3) and you will certainly not have current security patches.  You too have an antivirus.  Get instant access to Windows Update (do not go to other websites) and download critical updates.  Probably, this will take time and may require several reboots and go back to Windows Update.  When all updates have been installed, install an antivirus.

  If you are willing to pay for an anti-virus, eSet NOD antivirus (not the "suite").  Otherwise, I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira AntiVir Personal.  At some point after that things are settled down, you should also get the free versions of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware.  You don't need the "pro version" that work all the time; You must only update and run these scanners on a periodic basis just to be sure that you have not picked up a malware that is slipped beyond your anti-virus.

• Windows 8 reset has not installed a new copy of windows - PC encountered a problem :(

  I use the computer laptop hp pavilion with windows 8 pre-installed top when I bought the laptop. It was working fine until 2 weeks ago when I tried to update windows 8.1. All other updates for windows 8 have already been installed. After installing windows 8.1, the screen started to Flash and flicker. I didn't know what was the problem in spite of the fact that I tried to search and find out if everyone knew the same problem. Anyway I tried to update my PC to return to windows 8, and when I did, I started having this bug saying something like:

  Your PC ran into a problem, he needs to restart. We will collect some data, then we will restart for you.
  And then the PC restarts. I was frustrated by the presence of mistake over and over again. Then I copied all my data on external hard drive and decided to put my windows to get a new copy of windows 8 is installed. But he also didn't work. After the reset, I noticed that it wasn't a "Reinstall" clean at all. My desktop wallpaper has been same, my home page was even - he remembered my preferences. And once again! I'm having the same error as mentioned above, very often. Its very frustrating and I'm getting very excited now and I don't know what else I can try. Please help me someone...

  Thanks for the reply of Mr. Martin.

  Well, before you try the method that tells you, I used the HP Recovery Manager tool to reset my windows and the software to its factory settings and fortunately it worked. It reset my laptop with its settings from the factory with all the removed disk partitions, but of course, I made a backup of all my data. Its job well now for windows 8.

  Thanks again for your support.

• How can I not have a genuine copy of windows 7 when I installed it on an official record?

  I installed windows 7 on my computer a while ago and it was working fine. Until today, when I turned on my computer and a message popped up saying that I don't have a copy genuine windows 7. Even if I had the drive official windows 7 when I bought my desktop computer. Nothing else was wrong with my computer until now and my anti-virus has not picked up something, so the problem is only with windows 7.

  If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

  It seems more than one fault on behalf of windows that it wasn't something accompanying advising me of what I could / could not do with the disc.

  
  
  It is in the end user license agreement you accepted when you installed.
  I suspect that you used a Dell OEM recovery disk to install. This drive works only on dell computers that he intended. It will not work on a Toshiba.
  Your bios has a marker for windows 7. Windows has not released to manufacturing until end of July 2009. The only way the bios of your computer may have a windows 7 marker is programmatically loading of pirates.
  Except for the family pack, it is licensed per computer.

• Satellite A30 - 203 - recovery disk does not work

  Hi all

  I have an old Satellite A30-203 and have a problem. I tried to format my laptop but the product recovery cd does not seem to work in deletion the data on my disk, its becomes blocked during loading files of ntfs? Now I am not able to retrieve a windows session would I need a new product recovery cd and would be able to get it?

  Thank you

  Hi dimation,

  It is difficult to say what is the reason of this but made is either it s a laptop problem itself or the recovery disc (e.g. scratches) causes this problem.

  In my opinion the best way to check this using a Microsoft Windows disk. If the installation completed successfully, you need a new recovery disk. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country! :)

• recovery system does not open

  When I click on the recovery of the system, it does not open.  I am running windows xp professional 2002.  I tried to update, but it freezes when trying to install the program active x.  I tried to run it, rundll32.exe advpack.dll, LaunchINFSection % Windir%\Inf\sr.inf too, but I don't have the disk to install xp service Pack 3.  I think it was a downloaded update so no disc.  If at this point, there is no way for me to do a restore of the system if necessary and no way to get the updates even if they are set to auto.  I also scanned for a virus that found nothing.

  Hear you the system restore will not launch at all or it does not start, and you see just a blank white screen where the calendar should it be?

  It is not difficult to reinstall the system restore (not reinstalled XP - only the part of SR), but to see how this other idea it works.   Reinstall SR will destroy all your old Restore Points and leave you with an another fee.

  It is easy to reinstall the system restore.  Here's how:

  Assuming that your XP is installed on drive C of your computer:

  As you go through the reinstallation of the RS, the resettlement will be asked to locate certain files as you go along and ask your XP installation CD.

  If you do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can change the path where Setup looks for files one at a time, because they are needed.  More on that later.

  Navigate to c:\windows\inf, and right click on the following file:

  SR.inf

  Choose Install

  If you can not see the sr.inf file, set up your system to show hidden files and show file extensions.

  Click on tools, Options, view and turn on "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", then you should be able to see the file c:\windows\inf\sr.inf.

  Installation can request files from the c:\windows\inf\386 folder.  It would be your installation CD bootable XP genuine if you have one and the Service Pack installed on your system must be the same as the CD that you will use.

  You don't need absolutely a CD to do the reinstall SR because files must already be on your system somewhere if SR was working before.

  If you are prompted for a file, and you can't find it where I suggest in my example below (it works on my system), you need to search your hard drive and find where the files on your system.

  If the request to a file and you don't know where it is, let waiting for installation and click Start, search, then search for the requested file and find it on your system.  If SR has already worked before, the file is already on your system somewhere.

  Search finds the requested file, go back to the installation and specify the path where you found the file requested and click OK.  Installation can request several files along the way, but you can find them all.

  If you still can't find the files, let us know what is the file you need and someone can download on his SkyDrive and you can download it.

  Here's how my system works when I reinstall SR when I pretend that I don't have a genuine XP bootable installation CD:

  When you are asked:

  SR.sys

  Point the install in c:\windows\system32\drivers

  When you are asked:

  c:\windows\system32\srclient.dll

  Point install it in c:\windows\system32

  When you are asked:

  Filelist. XML

  Point of installation at c:\windows\system32\restore (or c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386)

  If asked:

  xrstrui.exe

  Point installation c:\windows\system32\restore

  When you are asked:

  srframe. MMF

  Point installation c:\windows\system32\dllcache (c:\windows\system32\restore)

  Once installation is complete, you will receive a message that you must restart your computer.

  Restart your computer and look at your schedule of SR.  You should have a new point system control in your calendar.

  Now is the right time to test your system restore process, from one end to the other.

  The day that you think you have need of system restore is not the day, namely that it does not.

  Reboot your system and without anything running (no browser, Outlook, etc. - just the basics), manually create a new Restore Point, restart your system and see if you are able to restore your system to the Restore Point, you just do.

• error 0xC0000225, recovery partition does not start

  Hello

  I have a HP dv7 with Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

  A few months ago, I did a factory restore, the recovery partition start (I have no recovery disks). After that, I thought to divide my C: partition where Windows is installed, and I did it with Windows disk management.

  So my new scores were: C: D: with recovery, OS, E: HP_Tools and g.: the new partition.

  A few days ago the sistem ran very hard, so I thought I do another factory restore from the recovery partition. When I rebooted and you press F11, I got the "0xc0000225 error".

  I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit bootable drive and I tried Startup Repair tool and other repairs of sistem, checks HDD, but everything seems to be ok.

  I reinstalled the operating system, from the disk bootable on C: (OS starts and works well) and let the other partitions as they were... but it seems that the recovery partition still does not start if I can do a restore from the factory with all the drivers and utilities, as they were at the beginning.

  Any ideas on how I can do?

  Thank you!

  It seemed that it there was not much I could do about this problem. My disk is dynamic, there is no Recovery Manager from the Start Menu, there has not been any creation of HP with HP folder recovery support. I managed somehow to make a repair disk, I tried it but no results, the error kept popping out every time.

  I inserted the Windows 7 disc to try to delete all partitions, including the recovery and HP-tools and do a Windows Installer Cleanup, but the Format, New and Delete buttons are inactive.

  I did some scans disk and memory tests, everything was ok... I started with a disc of Hiren and accesed the HARD drive with a program based on linux and so I managed to delete the partitions.

  After I installed a new copy of Windows 7 to work with my SN and everything was ok. Unfortunately I lost partitions recovery and HP-tools, but at least it works well again.

  Thanks for your all your support.

• code KB9811433 646 and KB981715 does not install

  code KB9811433 646 and KB981715 does not install

  Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, your Background Intelligent Transfer Services set to Automaticand started and Windows Update ? You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

  Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually.

  (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
  (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309).
  3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run.  You must accept the agreement and then click on continue.
  (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
  (5) to rerun the update from Microsoft, click find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

  If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or erase viruses can prevent the installation of patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and then Quick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.

• the system recovery media does not support this computer

  I have a HP G7-1365DX and the hard drive (750 GB) is a failure.  I did a recovery file on a USB key from the recovery partition and then replaced the hard drive with a 120 GB SSD.  When I tried to reinstall the USB system, I get the message "the system recovery media does not support this computer."  Is it because the hard drive was replaced by a SSD?  How to restore the system if the recovery disk does not work?

  Hello

  You are right about the source of this problem - HP recovery media often has problems of restoring the operating system on a smaller disk in quality than appeared on.

  There are a few options available.

  1. if the 750 GB drive is still able to operate, use your recovery media to perform a factory reset and then use software (or Windows 7 own imaging utility) for this clone of your SSD.

  2 create your own recovery media to use to run the installation - it would be my personal preference.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
