  auntsands50,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  I need to get the details on your situation.  You say that you want to uninstall XP?  It will be the only way to install another operating system or use a program that will allow you to erase the hard drive.  You mention that you got a virus and you tried to do a restore.

  So my question is what are you trying finally to accomplish?  Do you want to just get a virus on your system or you want to wipe the drive and reinstall XP.

  If you want to remove a virus, then here is a link to a program free antivirus that you can use to help clean your system: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/

  If you want to restore your system to factory default then you will need to boot from your XP cd or use the OEM solutions provided with your PC.  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316941 Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Need help with "Clone, windows with a single NETWORK card.

  Hello

  I'm trying to get this to work of workflow in order to create a virtual machine from a model (or an another VM) and customize (IP address, DNS...). I already did the same thing with my Linux VM and it worked as expected, but with the Windows VM I lose connection with vCenter whenever I run this workflow. "Just before it finished I got this error:" ""the server vCenter Server "link from my server" connection has been lost "

  So the result is: the new virtual machine is created, but the IP address of the model/VM frim is what it is cloned.

  Any idea what can cause the crash of the mu vSphere client every time I throw the third workflow?

  Can someone try this workflow and complete the settings and show me a screenshot so I can know where it wen wrong (certainly the network configuration).

  Thank you in advance! any help would be appreciated!

• Satellite L955-10f - need help with uninstall Win8 and install Win7

  I'm now totally fed up with the Mickey Mouse Windows 8 OS and want to return to Windows 7. I have a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L955-10f. Should I use the recovery disk to get rid of W8?

  Is there a way I can get a recovery for W7 for this machine disk in case it is needed in the future? I'm not technical, so any help will be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Right there is big problem with this machine. I ve checked the download page of Toshiba and this model is not supported for Win7, it will be difficult to find the right drivers, tools and utilities.

  This model is designed for Win7 Toshiba doesn't offer Win7 recovery disc.
  This is a rather complicated situation. The first thing you need to do should now create Win8 recovery media using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  I put t know what to say. Maybe you have someone with an excellent knowledge of PC and who can help you with this. Material of your machine should be compared with other models may be supported, so you will be able to use the drivers, tools and utilities available for these models.

• Need help with installing Windows 7 32 bit / 64 bit editions

  I have a laptop that originally had Windows 7 home premium 32 bit oem installed on it, I have subsequently upgraded to windows Ultimate edition through update at any time.

  The laptop is retired and I want to install Windows 7 on my new PC but to install the 64-bit versions, but do not have them.

  The laptop is retired and I want to install Windows 7 on my new PC but to install the 64-bit versions, but do not have them.

  My question is, should I buy a new copy of windows 764 bit home premium.

  No, as long as you have a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, you can use the same product key that was used to activate the copy of 32-bit, you had installed.

  It is also possible to apply my series of Win7 Ultimate upgrade to an another Windows Installer or it will be related to my original OS install and only the 32-bit version?

  If the Express upgrade is planned for the Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate upgrade, this computer must also run Home Premium.

  You will need to use the phone for both activation:

  I do not have 64-bit Windows 7 Home premium, just a 32-bit version OEM

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• crashed hard drive... need help with original windows 7 Home premium 64-bit on new h.d.

  a win 7 64bits h.p... a h.d. failure... installed a new h.d. which had vista (sp2) h.p. on and I want my windows 7 back... is there anyway to give the product I.D. is on the side of my Tower for the microsoft 7 windows that has crashed and I would like to download a copy on the new hard drive? IM wondering if I need a proof of ownership or what anyone like that I bought from a friend's computer and its probably not in my name... I was wondering if this is a problem major and if theres nothing I can do... maybe download a new copy and just enter the product ID I don't know... IM really not too tech saavy... any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you

  So what you want to do is put windows 7 to replace windows vista on your new hard drive?

  Step 1: Download the ISO file.
  You will need a cache of DVD or a USB flash drive (3 GB or better), if you insert a DVD, then it will ask you if you want to use it with a DVD player or a usb flash drive. Check the box to a DVD player or something similar to this. With a flash drive, you don't have to worry about setting up or anything.
  Download the ISO of windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.
  Here is the link:http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso
  Be patient as it can take an hour to download on a medium speed wifi connection.
  Step 2: Burn the disk image to a DVD
  Now that you will burn the ISO on DVD once it's done. To do than go to where ever you downloaded the ISO on your computer and right-click on the ISO file. Now click on burn the disk image.
  Make sure your DVD is inserted. When asked what disc burner, select the drive that you inserted the DVD in. If you have only 1 DVD player you should have only 1 option. Now hit burn and go get coffee or something while you wait.
  Burn the image on a USB flash drive
  But if you don't have a DVD, you can always use a USB flash drive.
  You need to download Universal USB install 
  Now open universal USB install and it will ask you to choose a Linux distro. Keep scrolling down until you find "software based on other or non-linux".
  Select windows 7 Setup from there. Now step 2 hit browse and find where you downloaded the ISO image. Now, select your USB flash drive letter. It takes only 1 option. And click on create. And when it asks you if you want to format? Click Yes.
  DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR FLASH DRIVE PROBABLY ALL THAT FILES WILL BE DELETED IN THIS PROCESS
  Step 3: Boot from your DVD or USB
  Restart your computer, and while it loads the bios, it must be said somewhere boot options. And there will be a F1, F2, F3, or some F key to enter the boot options.
  After that, select the USB flash drive or a DVD drive to start. You will get to the windows installation and you can install windows 7.
  It will ask you your product key. It is in any way illegal.

• Need help with installing Windows

  I recently did a full format my computer and re-installed Windows software.  I can't access the internet then I downloaded the drivers and my flash drive to move them to the computer, that I corrected.  Now internet will not work. It was my first time trying this and I want to just make sure I did everything right.  I do not have the recovery discs and HP does not provide them to my computer as they said that the computer was obsolete.  I'm running an HP Pavilion a310e series.  Help, please.

  If you have problems with the integrated ethernet controller, you must download and install the chipset drivers nForce2 for any operating system you have installed on the PC.

  Specifications of the motherboard you:

  To download and install the driver, go to the section of downloads from nVidia, gnaw legacy and nForce 1/2, select your operating system.

• Need help with installing Windows XP on Satellite A60

  I have toshiba satellite A60 and I need to know the steps for reformatting the hard drive and installing Windows XP. What do need me and how?

  also... How can I save all the files and email on Microsoft outlook? I'm not well experienced with this.

  Hello

  the XP installation is very simple. Just put the CD in and to start the installation, the installation wizard will guide you through the entire process. A little advice: when it comes to partition the disk, delete the old partition, create a new and format it in ntfs. Don t worry, the installation wizard will guide you very detailed hollow that deal so it's going to go very easily.

  Regarding your backup:

  It's my way of backing up my files:
  I have an external USB-drive HARD drive and I put all my files on it, so I can copy them back after that I have put in a new system. To save your outlook, you can visit this site:

• Windows is not genuine built 6002. need help with my windows vista.

  Hi, my HP Pavilion notebook crashed and now I have a message that reads... This copy of windows is not genuine built 6002. I've exhausted all means to try to fix it without success.  The sticker on the bottom of the computer is worn and unreadable. I bought programs product key finder, helping us to activate windows. I called Hp support and supported windows and all I get is the run around. Is someone can you please help me solve this problem?

  You don't say if you reinstalled Vista, or what you were doing on the crash.

  http://www.Belarc.com/free_download.html

  If your Vista operating system was still running and enabled, you would use the program above to find your product key.

  If the above does not apply, we can not help you.

  It becomes a matter between you and HP, they you provided with your Vista license.

  See you soon.

• Need help with installing windows 7!

  So I decided to use the windows 7, 32-bit installation disk my father found in her room to install windows 7 on my pc. But I installed it and only 3.47 GB to 8 GB can be used. Since I use fairly heavy programs my computer isn't able to manage this [(fl studio, zbrush, divers jeux tels que bf3, bf1, etc..)] I have read and found that it is better to go with 64-bit, but I have no disk for 64-bit and am a little tight on money at the moment. Is there anyway to completely reinstall windows from 32 bit to 64 bit, or pass from 32 to 64 without an installation disk?

  Thanks for your help, a lot.

  Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed

  You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, it takes a complete reinstallation

  If you have only the 32-bit disk is probably an OEM package as they were sold as specifically 32 or 64-bit, retail packaging had two discs.

  Follow the link Windows 7 here:

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/help/15088/Windows-create-installation-media

  Enter your key when asked and see if you get offered the download 64-bit option.

  Keep in mind that, if this is an OEM license, if it was used you may experience activation problems. OEM licenses are valid only for the 1st computer, they are activated, they cannot be transferred to another computer.
