• Fees and new drive hard install XP operating system?

  Hi all
  I have a Sony Vaio, which was purchased at Costco in 2004 and has Windows XP Media Center Edition installed according to the sticker on the back of the computer.
  The hard drive was out at the time of the computer and installed in an enclosure so that the data could be accessed the laptop for my wife a few months ago.
  Well, I wanted to install a new hard drive in the computer with a new installation of the operating system so that our children can use the computer, but I've never done this before.  So here's my question:
  If I go on eBay and buy a Windows XP Professional OEM with COA key I can install it on this computer, or must be Windows XP Media Center Edition?  When I went to Google I read how if you have Windows XP Media Center Edition (or any other edition of windows by the way) on a computer that is the only operating system that can be installed on this computer.  But I have more than one other computer that I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium, Ultimate without problem through an Anytime Upgrade Microsoft.
  I guess that the main reason that I'm asking because we lost the Microsoft Disc supplied with the computer, so I'll have to buy a drive one way or another and I just wanted to know what my options are.
  Thank you very much for any help any of you are able to make.

  You can install a commercial version on your Sony.

  I would not buy it from eBay you have no guarantee that the key is not in use.

  You should buy from a retailer or an online store.

  As your sony will not run Vista or Windows 7, you have no choice but to install XP.

  A better and cheaper choice would be XP Home Edition for children.

  Don't forget, support XP stop April 8, 2014 so that gives you 1 year and 9 months.

  After that, is no longer security update will be available for XP.

  http://www.Ubuntu.com/

  The link above is a free operating system, so no $$$ to pay, you can download it or get it on CD

  I got on the CD 5 years, they have sent to me and even paid shipping.

  I don't know what options are available right now, so you'll have to visit their site.

  Also in contrast to support XP for Ubuntu does not end.

• Tecra A2 - new drive HARD and have no idea of installing the drivers of Windows XP Home edition

  Hi all, have not been here in a while...

  Where should I start... Have Tecra A2 and the HARD drive died on this issue... was not able to recover whatever it's him so bought a new HARD drive.

  Rather than taking it to a repair shop, I would like to re - install Windows XP myself, save money and have a clean install.

  I know that I have to download the drivers from downloads for Tecra, but haven't a clue as to who and the most appropriate.
  Could someone be so kind and point me in the right direction to get my operating system again?

  Thank you.

  TOSHIBA console
  TOSHIBA controls
  TOSHIBA ConfigFree
  TOSHIBA PC Diagnostic Tool

  I hope that everything will be OK and you will be able to use Windows XP Home on your Tecra again.

• Installed the new drive hard and now I get a pop up that says that my windows is not genuine.

  I upgraded my hard drive on my Dell Inspiron 1750. Now, I get a pop up that says that my windows is not genuine. But under the control of configuration\systeme and Security\System, it says my windows is activated. It is an OEM with Windows7 system House. Did that clone a new (bigger, 1 TB) hard disk and then install. In addition, windows update does not work now either. Said the service is not running.

  You have installed RemoveWAT at some point in the past.

  Now we must try to clear up the mess :(

  Best way to fix it now (since we do not know what version of RemoveWAT served) is to run WATFix...

  Download WATFix - make sure you click the link in the page, not the big shiny buttons! - and use it.

  Then post back with another MGADiag report, and we will see what we can do.

  Excuse my lack of knowledge.

  I received a Satellite M70-173.

  to turn on before charging readings - fatal error; I have to save all my data and replace the hard drive.

  I don't know if it's fixable and that's what I have to do. I also said that when you replace a HARD disk I need a recovery disk.

  I reside in Cyprus and don't have is not easy access to the shops of style PC big supermarket.

  I was wondering if I could use a generic HDD and if so is there a particular one that I need to acquire?

  Also

  where would I go to get a recovery disk?

  I got the laptop I can't afford to buy a new one at the moment and it is still in very good condition apart from the above-mentioned problems!

  I wish that all the advice on what type of HARD drive, I would need or is available - rough cost so I don't get ripped off and if we change the disk HARD is as easy as I read. Also where I should go to get a recovery disc and if that's all I need to fix the laptop.

  Thank you very much in advance for any help I can get.

  > The laptop does turn on - is it possible to make a recovery of a damaged laptop disk

  How do you do if you can't turn on the laptop?

  What you could do is to remove the HARD drive, then place it into the drive enclosure HARD 2.5 external, then connect the HARD drive to another computer, to save the data.

  In my opinion this is what you could do

  Hello:

  All the drivers, specifications and manuals are missing from pages support again.

  This happened earlier in the week also.

  Another Member of the forum has reported the problem to administrators forum, which will be in touch tour HP, but since I am not employed by, nor do I represent HP, I don't know how long it will take to restore the missing data to the support pages.

  Whether the weekend will not help much either.

• If I put all my files on the C drive that has the operating system and make a recovery of keys one, will I lose my files?

  If I put all my files on the C drive that has the operating system and make a recovery of keys one, will I lose my files? drive C whereas the partition that has the operating system and drive D is the lenovo drive that has all the drivers lenovo and all those. Did I lose my files?

  Yes, the collection clears all of the C drive and you will lose your files. The solution would be to backup regularly to an external HARD drive and after the key one to also restore the files from the external hard drive.

  This has been answered before, if you do a search for "key recovery" it appears among the first results.

  Do I USE creative cloud as an external hard drive pour update my operating system?

  The main cloud Creative program must be installed on your system's main drive - then you can't have the whole installation on a separate disk.  Applications can be installed on a different disk.
