• Windows XP home on a new hard drive installation

  I have an Omnibook xe2 with a new hard drive. The old hard drive has windows 2000 pro on this subject. The hard drive failed completely. I bought a new hard drive for her specifically for the Omnibook xe2. I don't have the disc pro 2000 windows or a boot drive for it. I have a XP home disc. How can I install the XP home without that old operating system disk pro 2000? Microsoft says that I need the old pro 2000 disk to load the new XP home system. Thank you for your help.

  If your XP disc is an 'Upgrade', you will need an earlier version of windows will first be installed on the computer ie: Windows 2000. If the XP disk is a "full" Version you will need to set the BIOS to boot from the CD drive, and then boot from the drive and install Windows XP. To set the boot order, press on and press f2 at startup. Follow the prompts to set the boot order for the CD/DVD drive. Save the settings and exit. Place the disc in the CD drive and start the computer, follow the prompts to install Win. XP

• Unable to connect to Wifi after new Hard Drive installation

  Hello, I really need help. I have searched this forum days, reinstalled my drivers in the correct order, but I'm still not able to connect to Wifi.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 and I recently installed a new hard drive. Everything works fine EXCEPT the WIFI. In the network controller device manager has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. I tried to search to find the driver but it says that it is impossible to locate. When I download the Intel driver on the Dell site, it downloads but nothing never opens. I'm at a lost and I just need help. All the answers or pointing in the right direction if this has already been resolved would be greatly appreciated.

• Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

  I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
  If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

  How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

  In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

  The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

  NTLDR
  Boot.ini
  NTDETECT.COM
  Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

  Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

  When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

  Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

• where are my drivers? new installation on the new hard drive

  I have a dimension e510, I put in a new hard drive. I got the windows xp disk, I added when I bought the computer. In general, the hard drive is partitioned or something with the operating system on the hard disk of windows xp.

  In any case after I installed widows xp, everything works except that I have the yellow question mark by 'other devices', I noticed that when I tried this computer with my main computer of the network. All of the devices under the heading other have no driver video Ethernet, PCi, for example - video works as I have a video card.

  So I tried to install the drivers and windows is unable to find them. I still have the installation disc into the computer. Being one of the drivers for the Ethernet - i cannot access the internet to get drivers. Help

  OK, I found the drivers on the dell site. I was able to install or update several drivers that I didn't need. the pilot opne I need comes in a cab file inpenuxp.cab.  Where do I put this? I've tried several things that work. When I low laoded the other driver of dell updtates, they all seemed different and they are all installed without problem

  Hello

  You will need to download "Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection " of Dell on a USB key and install the driver for your Netbook have access to the internet.

  A CAB file is a ZIP , CAB file is just the Microsoft format for a compressed folder save bandwidth on their server they save as aCAB , you can open and then select all and extract here where the files need. For the most part, these files will file dell cascading, images and Html pages.

  Try to download the network card in your computer to get the correct driver installed for your problem.

• Installation of Windows 7 in a new hard drive

  Hello

  I would like to replace my hard drive with an SSD laptops.

  I have burned DVD that were made when I started my computer.

  Can I install WIndows on the new hard drive with the CD? If not, how can I get a copy of windows for my new hard drive?

  Thank you very much

  Luis

  Hi, Luis:

  Unless the SSD is about the same size as the mechanical hard disk, that you deleted (probably not), your recovery disks will not work.

  You will get an error.

  I have a solution for you...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Also, if there is a folder named SWSetup on your hard drive C:\, copy off the coast and he should have subfolders that have most of the driver and Setup files supplied with your laptop (except Office Starter 2010).

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• Installation in Windows Vista Home Premium on the new hard drive

  I try to install Vista on a new hard drive.  All right until the END of the INSTALLATION is made.  Then the screen turns black with just the mouse showing.  What's wrong?

  We have no idea of the history of this computer or which has been installed on it.

  If you try to install Vista using recovery disk/s of the computer manufacturer, contact them for any problem with him.

  It is their software/recovery process, not Microsoft.

  See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

• Correct installation of the new hard drive for Windows 7

  Have a disk hard fatal crash with Dell OEM Windows 7on, so I bought a new hard drive compatible system and have my old system Win 7/recovery of data on a memory stick. It's been years that last I formatted, partitioned and installed an operating system on a new hard drive and I totally forgot how it's done. Vaguely remember some DOS commands were required to work out of BIOS (?). Can anyone list the individual measures to be taken, assuming that the hard drive is physically installed and turned on? It would be a great help!

  Unless this stick memory has on her installation files as well, you cannot reinstall win7 on the new hard drive

  You will need the DVD / or the ISO of Win7.

  ]

  And no you do not need BACK. Just the dvd or ISO / to boot from. Then you can format / partition in the configuration screen
