• How can I reboot an Acer Aspire One / Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 from scratch?

  My Acer Aspire One / Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3, (laptop/netbook computer - no disk drive to insert a disk or anything like that,) only has 1 GB of memory/160 GB of storage and is far off in the ORIGINAL manner, he came, I need to start over from scratch and reload BitDefender 2011 top.  :(  I can't do it for me take MSN messenger/etc out of it, backups fail, etc..  Does anyone know WHAT to do if you can't insert "recovery disk" (no), and doing it this way?  Thank you!

  Do you know how to back up your data first? Once you do this, you can follow these instructions:

  http://support.Acer.com/acerpanam/desktop/0000/Acer/AspireE360/AspireE360faq40.shtml

  That being said, why do you do this? A clean install (or its equivalent) is rarely necessary.

• Impossible to install the new Windows XP Home edition from scratch on Tecra S3

  With F6 in WXP install driver Toshiba raid (from USB floppy drive) properly installed first, partionating disc ok, continue to install Windows XP Home edition.
  WXP wants then again Toshiba raid drivers, installing WXP because he's not reading USB floppy (undirected). Do I need the recovery CD that I don't have.

  Hi guys

  I had a similar problem installing RAID on my old Qosmio.
  I didn't use the restore CD but the simple Microsoft Windows Boot CD.
  The problem was my incorrect installation procedure.

  After the installation of the driver the USB FDD drive RAID, the configuration of the installation works fine until I formatted the HARD drive or partition.
  This has been bad! Don't format or delete the partition after installing the RAID driver!

  In addition, make sure you use the right set of RAID! These settings can be checked in the BIOS! My Qosmio user manual provides lots of information about RAID. Did you check your user manual which settings are required to install the OS of Win CD?

  Do and good luck!

• You will need to re - install windows xp home edition after hardware failure.

  Hello

  I have an old e-machines computer desk (T1842) I bought nine years ago. It comes preinstalled with microsoft windows xp home edition, there is little time, we had a power surge in our House because of an act of God. I didn't throw this computer, so I bought a new power supply and a new motherboard for my computer running again. This is where my problem occurs, the hard drive on this computer became corrupt, and I have to re - install the operating system on it. The only software that has been arranged for me at time of purchase was a two disc set of what e machines calls "recovery disc". I tried to use these disk to get my computer running again, but there seems to be a hardware conflict now because I had to replace the motherboard, etc... What can I do to get my computer working again, of course, I still have the certificate of authenticity of microsoft / label the product key provided on the back of my computer at the time of the purchase, but the product key does not seem to help me solve this problem. I do not want to get my computer working again, it would be nice if I could get a new disk of software that would be compatible with this new motherboard, etc.. Can someone help me please?

  Thank you

  David

  FWIW... The motherboard came with a driver disk? If you use the recovery disk, I don't think you will be able to re - install windows from scratch. Even if you could you would have problems with the product key code, since the code you have is registered to the old mobo. You can click on the link below and follow the instructions to create a Utlity Cd, allowing you to recover your data on the hard drive. It is also full other little tools that will be useful.

• Cannot format disc disc HARD NTFS - Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3

  Hi, I hope someone can help me to solve this problem, because it drives me crazy. I have Dell Inspiron 4500 which HDD is running out of space. There was also a problem with the disc essentially installed 2 new 1 x 120 GB Maxtor hard drives and 1 x 320 GB Hitachi. I installed Windows XP Home Edition on the Maxtor from scratch and load all the drivers and patches, etc... However whenever I try to put in place the Hitachi under NTFS, it falls on the formatting. If I use third-party tools all right until you try to access it through windows, then I get "cannot access the disk, the files are corrupted or damaged. In windows Disk Manager, you can see the drive, but the file system is empty. I can take out the drive and set up on my other machine without problem. I can set up the correct disk in FAT32? If I then try to CONVERT, switch again.

  Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Maver1ck63,

  Thank you for your message.  You have the jumpers physics master/slave accordingly?  Otherwise, the value OS hard drive (Maxtor) to the master and your Hitachi to the slave.  After a reboot, your system recognizes this drive in 'my computer '?  If so, can you right click and format the drive?  (Keep in mind, the formatting will erase all data on the disk, you will need to back up any important information before formatting).  If you cannot access or recognize this drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'My computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  Do you think your player, you can get in shape from here (or assign a drive letter if it is not recognized in my computer)?
  Please let us know the result.
  See you soon

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• File not found: Windows XP Home Edition - 000002.vmdk

  When I restarted my iMac today, and attempted to restart my VM Fusionware, I got this message: file not found: Windows XP Home Edition - 000002.vmdk.  He offered to let me search for it and I can't find it anywhere.  So, I inserted my VM fusion drive and reinstalled and updated to the current version - and it still says it can't find the file it needs to run.  What should I do?  I lost all my information, like all my files from MS Money?  I had planned to migrate to Quick Books for MAC this summer when I had fun.  I didn't do it all from scratch.  What should I do now?  I delete all files dealing with the merger of VM and do a clean reinstall?  Is anyway to get my MS Money information and the email client I use PocoMail or is all lost?

  Hello

  As noted in the Continuum, you need not to 'access' merger to do what was asked. We work only on the iMac here. Do a search/search for files ending in hard.

  What commands you issued before trying to start using the virtual machine.

• Satellite C660-108 - Windows XP Home Edition does not install

  I try to install Windows XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satellite C660-108, without success.

  I changed the BIOS disk in "Compatibility" mode (what is the same thing as "Legacy IDE"?) by following the instructions on a Yahoo Answers question on the same issue.

  What has improved the situation, in what I now get an error message a few minutes after installing XP said "Starting Windows" instead of immediately after. The error message is the same that I have already received and is as follows:

  "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". "Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D663C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  Thanks in advance for any help,

  Luke

  PS - I'm a mac user and do not have much experience in the use of Windows laptops, so I need instructions spelled out clearly enough if possible.

  The error could be related to drive HARD and the setting in the BIOS of the controller...
  Probably, you need to install Win XP using SATA AHCI mode and to add the driver SATA as described here:

  Hello

  about the noise I recommend going to www.realtek.com and download the driver from there, which would be much better then the driver on the toshiba site. :)

  In regards to your webcam I Don t know how to help you because I watched the driver download page and I found something didn t. Maybe you should try the camera of another model software since the cameras are the same. I read on some forums (not here) that users tried with their machines and it worked for them.

  It s worthy to give it a try.

• Equium L30 - no sound in Windows XP Home edition

  I have read all the messages for the sound with Realtek HD audio problem but still no sound on my laptop. I tried to install software patches from Microsoft, I tried to install the vista drivers but nothing works. The sound is properly installed but when I go into Winamp or any other media device I can't hear anything. No sound windows, nothing, but the device is not functioning properly.

  All these problems are Windows XP Home edition. In Windows Vista, I have no problem at all. I have an Equium L30. Help, please! Excuse for my English.

  You already mentioned that you have already installed Windows (patch) patches.
  Well, the problem is that you must reinstall these patches at first and then you could install driver sound. These fixes are needed; Fixes KB888111 and KB835221.

  The audio driver (Realtek HD Audio) can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page!

  Good luck and greetings ;)

• Drivers Toshiba for Windows XP Home edition and VISTA fpr a Satellite Pro P100 - PSPAH

  Hello.

  I need help. I bought a Satellite pro P100 - PSPAH with Vista Premium Home edition version of recovery. Now, I want to install a second operating system such as Windows XP Home edition on this laptop. The problem is that Windows XP Home edition did not find 3 drivers. For sound, LAN and another device. For this reason I update my notebook with the latest chipset drivers, but the problem is still there. Vista now has problems with the drivers, too. I can't find the special driver on toshiba home page.

  Jens MFG

  Hello

  I understand your problem at the moment that I also prefer XP instead of Vista operating system.
  Vista needs simply too many resources for laptop and all applications and 3rd devices are not 100% supported by Vista.

  But what say man seems to find compatible drivers on chip manufacturing sites.
  Download and install a tool called Everest or other similar hardware diagnostic tool and try to find out what LAN and sound chips are used in your laptop!
  Then, you can search drivers Intel, Realtek, etc... pages

  You know the website driver Toshiba Canada?
  http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_byModel.asp

  There you will find also some Pro P100 series. Try these drivers. It's worth a try.

• Portege M700 - need drivers for Windows XP Home edition x 64

  Hello

  I recently bought a Portege M700
  It comes preinstalled with Vista on the disc.

  Now, I got an original Win XP x 64 and all my programs are not really compatible with Vista. If I want to install Win XP x 64.
  I have install Windows XP Home edition x 64, but there are no drivers for it, only for drivers vista and Windows XP tablet pc edition.

  Is it possible to find the drivers for Windows XP Home edition x 64?

  Someone at - it already had a problem like this one?

  in any case thank you already for the answer.

  Hello

  I doubt that you can get 64-bit drivers for Windows XP for this laptop from the Toshiba driver page.
  I didn t find drivers for Windows XP 64 bits for Toshiba laptops.
  Why? I think the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular like Win XP 32 bit and most of the applications have been designed for XP 32 bit OS.

  If install you XP 64-bit on this computer, you will have to look in the various 3rd party Web sites for the compatible drivers

  Good luck
