• Drive hard dead - new drive installed no operating system - XP key for that computer is portable hard disk newly installed?

  Changed the bad disk to another - XP key will transfer fees drive installed and how to make xp on the fresh drive?

  Sure. Just use the XP installation CD you used to install the operating system the first time. Or, if you have an OEM machine with a restore to original image:

  Most of notebooks and OEMs (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

  These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

  Try the following.

  Remove the Windows 7 installation disc and the stop of the laptop.

  Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the Windows 7 installation disc.  Select the Boot Options menu (usually f9 ).  Use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER - if you are prompted to "press any key to continue...". ", do.

• Image vs cloning on the new HARD drive with an operating system already installed.

  First of all, I'm NOT tech savvy.  I apologize in advance.

  After several warnings error that my hard drive was in danger of failing, I was finally able to install a new HARD drive.  Windows has had some difficulty in installing Windows 7 to new HARD drive, but I finally found a solution.  So here's my current situation.

  I have the main drive (old) (C:\) which has Windows 7 and all my data on it (it is a Seagate 1 TB HARD drive that came installed on my Dell Studio XPS 8100).  I installed a new WD Black 1 TB HARD drive and was finally able to get Windows to download on it (it reads now like two distinct? score?) E:\ and F:\) see photo.

  

  Now, my question is this...

  I want to save all my data from my old HDD and put it on my new HARD drive.  One that I have this, I would like to remove the old Windows 7 HDD and use it as "extra" space

  Make a clone of the old HARD drive to the new since I have already installed the new Windows 7 HARD disk?

  Please advise and please keep in mind that I might say things correctly and I can't understand though if the answers are on my level.  I appreciate any help!

  OK, so here is what I would do to try to avoid problems of compatibility or driver, as far as I can:
  -Turn off your system completely and unplug from the power outlet wall
  -Disconnect the old drive in your system (SATA and power cables)
  -Place the new WD Black on the main port SATA (should be labeled SATA0)
  -Turn on your system and put your OS drive you can do a completely new installation of the operating system.
  S ' ensure that you have updated all the drivers and the operating system after the installation
  -Turn off your system and plug your old drive
  -Turn on the system in the BIOS and make sure the WD Black has the priority starting on the old HDD
  -Boot into the operating system and copy all data from the start of your old disk partition that you want to keep for the WD Black
  -Go to disk management and delete the old boot partitions and the old drive system
  -The old HDD should be your secondary drive now and you can freely move files between the two disks
  N ' have in mind that due to the new copy of the OS, you must reinstall all the games and programs in order to operate because of the new system registry

  This should put you on the safe side and prevent any compatibility issue or driver which is possible during a clone or restore procedure. :)

• 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.

  Hi R0w1% 40nd,

  Adobe Photoshop CS v.8 and Lightroom 2 v.2.4. are very old software and the operating system you are using is the most recent, so there may be compatibility issues that adobe has not tested these applications on newer operating systems.

  The installer for Adobe Photoshop CS v.8 and Lightroom 2 v.2.4. are no longer available.

• How to format my hard drive as my operating system running IM?

  How to format my hard drive as my operating system running IM? I tried many ways must my computer tells me I have to stop all programs that I have running. play help as soon as possible!

  Some PC contains a hidden hard disk restore partition. If yours is one of them, this is how you return your PC to its original state.

  What is the brand and model of your PC?

  Yet, this is a pretty drastic step. There is more easy and faster to improve performance. If you do not want to give it a shot, let us know. And also tell us the specifications of your PC, type of XP, SP, etc.

  Also, you might find follows her beneficial:

  Here are the usual causes of slow:

  1. malware (malware). You need to rule out first! This page has excellent information:

  http://Web.archive.org/Web/20080610163247/http :// www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  2. some programs aimed at combating malware (for example, Norton and McAfee). Ironically, they can slow things down because they use simply much too many resources. Sometimes they cause conflicts with other programs. And their default mode is to scan your entire hard drive whenever you start. Fortunately, there are other programs of anti-malware software available that use much less resources (p. ex., NOD32, Avast and Avira).

  3. too much of certain types of programs still running in background - with or without your consent. (Then again, a lot of programs running in the background of the consequences trivial.)

  To determine each program and process, you are running, use the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager and click the processes tab. You should be able to sort by CPU usage or memory usage for a good ideas that are resource/memory hogs. You must write the names of all the processes for future detective work (or take a snapshot and print it).

  Use these sites to determine what these programs are, and learn how configure them to not always run when starting:

  http://www.PACS-portal.co.UK/startup_content.php#THE_PROGRAMS
  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
  http://www.AnswersThatWork.com/Tasklist_pages/Tasklist.htm

  Sometimes, it is recommended to use msconfig to configure programs to run at startup. A better, more thorough program is Autoruns:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  But before that, you must use the settings preference of the program in question. Otherwise, for some programs, they will return to the list of startup anyway!

  If you do not want to use msconfig, it can be accessed in this way:

  Start | Run | Type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Enter (or OK)

  4. not enough RAM, causing the PC too rely on the pagefile. A quick way to determine if what is happening is to open (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

  The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. In case you want to study it more, you can run the Page queue Monitor for Windows XP:

  http://www.dougknox.com/XP/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

  5. you can also verify that the access mode of your hard drive has not changed from DMA to PIO:

• Satellite L655-1GN - failed to install the new drive HARD original recovery image

  Hello

  Just had to buy a new hard drive and put the latter with the former. I already checked that he was the same size and SATA as the original hard drive. When I tried to start a new installation of the operating system from the recovery disk (that I bought the Toshiba provider in my country - MAFIL), the boot option was not available.

  MAFIL representative told me that the recovery disks only for the reinstalliation of the OS on the original drive, but are not suitable to install a fresh copy again. So, how can I install my Win7 64-bit, with all settings on the new drive and Toshiba apps?

  Thank you
  Tomer

  On many models of laptops different change HARD drive or upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and after doing this, you can install recovery image using the disc of recovery without any problem.

  I did several times on different models of Toshiba laptops. This works.
  I really don't understand how someone can give you this information.

  By default the BIOS settings, restart your machine and press F12 at startup. When the boot menu appears on the screen put the recovery disk ODD news, select CD/DVD as a boot device and press ENTER.
  What happens when you do this?

  Any ideas on what] s going on here?

  Hello:

  The problem is that you must incorporate the necessary sata ahci drivers for windows XP to see the hard drive.

  Has Windows 7 and XP is too old an operating system to make them.

  Read the info at the link below, section of Intel and then read the downloadable PDF document for instructions on how to integrate all the drivers.

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x0000007B-BSOD/m-p/114120#M17758

  The only other way to install XP on this model is to go into the bios, the storage section and change the setting of sata ahci to ide emulation, save the setting here and once again, when you go out.

  The problem is that if you do this, you cannot change the setting for the preferred setting of DCIS, unless you know how to install the correct ahci sata driver after installing XP from the controller.  If you try to just change the setting back on ahci without having to install the controller driver, the PC does not start upward.

  Try "slipstreaming" the drivers first and if you can't swing, install XP in IDE mode and I'll help you get the drivers installed, so you can change the BIOS to ahci setting.

  I bought a new Seagate Momentus 500 gb 7,200 RPM.

  I had Windows Vista installed on my laptop.

  but when I'm the new hard drive, I tried to install Windows XP (that I don't have a Vista disc).

  in any case, I inserted the new drive hard and drive XP OS then - NOTHING.

  just black screen and after a while, blue screen saying windows has been closed.

  When I go into the BIOS I do not see the hard drive and everything, but I can run a hard drive test and it passes.

  I have removed and reinserted the hard drive and run the XP OS several times but still the same.

  did anyone can help this old man so I can get my laptop up and working again.

  Recognizing.

• New drive hard problems

  Guys,

  I wonder if someone can help me.

  I need to add additional hard disks to several virtual machines and use the vSphere PowerCLI v5.1 against a vCenter Server running 5.1.0b.  When I try to add the disc using the cmdlet new-hard drive, I get the following error:

  New-harddisk: all parameters can be solved using the specified named parameters.

  On line: 1 char: 13

  + new hard drive < < < < - vm WinXpMstr - capacityGB 100 - diskpath "[MV] WinXPMstr/1234.vmdk".

  + CategoryInfo: InvalidArgument: (:)) [new-harddisk], ParameterBindingException)

  The full syntax of the command to run is:

  new drive hard vm - WinXPMstr - capacityGB 100 - diskpath "[MV] WinXPMstr/1234.vmdk".

  Thank you

  
  Paul

  You mix the different parametersets of the cmdlet New - hard drive settings.

  In your case CapacityGB and DiskPath cannot be used together.
