• To access the EFS data from another disk using original certificates/keys

  I use EFS on a Workgroup XP - Pro, SP3 and have backed up keys.  I am trying to access the files on this disk now mounted in another machine (also SP3 of XP - Pro and in a working group).  I can load the certificates of the first machine in the second machine by double clicking it.  Once the certificates are loaded, how decipher you?  I get "Access denied" when I right click and try to decrypt the files on the original drive.  The MS help talk about designating a "File Recovery Agent", but this procedure seems to be to area of machines and gets a bit fuzzy for working groups.  BTW, I'm testing my file recovery process.  No data is at risk.  Can you tell me FAQ to decrypt a file on a disk that is moved to another machine using the original (REC & PFX files) encryption certificates/keys?

• I have windows xp media center, at the time of purchase I dint receive the os cd and I was told that it would be available online and they gave me a product key. But now a unable to find where I can find the operating system files and the Setup program.

  I need to find the path where I can download the installation files inorder to reinstall the operating system by formatting the laptop now.

  Communicate with the computer mftr. for replacement media. Legally, they must give you a way to reinstall Windows. XP MCE was available as an OEM ("Original Equipment Manufacturer") product and in addition to having a TechNet/MSDN subscription, I know of nowhere hand, you can download it legitimately.

• This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification.

  I've seen other posts on this topic. Nothing seems to work, so I thought I would explain my situation.

  The machine is new. Win7 64 bit company. The problem I see is that I try to load some versions of Visual Studio on the new machine. However, none of the discs auto-run using my local internal DVD drive. They all have a Readme file with the message "this disc contains a"UDF"file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346"UDF"file system specification."

  I know that the discs are good, I used the on my old machine, and I can always use them on other machines I tested.

  The real kicker here is that I can plug an external USB DVD drive... and then the local drive starts to read the installation discs! It's like making this action allows something else in the machine.

  Also, I even restarted the machine mode of diagnosis (without external DVD drive attached)... and restart, the drive would read the installation discs. BUT when I do a full stop and then turn on the machine upward, the local drive gives me the same readme file. Again, it is as if something gets activated, and then reset to a complete stop.

  I am at a loss of what to check then. Real head-scratcher, because I know the drive works and the machine can recognize the drive and even read installation discs.

  I do not have the applications installed on the machine of DVD burning, so I don't think there is a conflict.

  Any suggestions are welcome.

  Thanks in advance!

• Avoid checking "the guest operating system has locked the door of CD-ROM. disconnect anyway and replace the lock?

  Using PowerCLI, I'm trying to create a script that logs off the CD player and affects the client machine and Passthrough IDE using the command:

  * (where SRVVM616 - netscan02.kb.se is the VM name in this case)

  But I can't get rid of an audit question that arises in vSphere Client:

  The script hangs until I answered the question, and who does the idea of a useless script?

• Re: Can I repair the operating system without resetting the whole HARD drive?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M50, I ran an antivirus in safe mode scan today and must have accidentally deleted a file system because now I can not connect.
  The computer will start but when I try to log in it connect, flash back, my office to the floor once and then connect again.
  I can repair the operating system without resetting the entire hard drive and lose all my files?

  And if not, is there someway to initiate a prompt BACK because I don't that the file is still in the recycling bin, and I might be able to restore it.

  Hello Bambi

  Repair option with the recovery DVD (image recovery) is not available. Using recovery DVDs, you can install OS and have once again the factory settings.
  As far as I know at the BACK level, you can start using BACK discus. You can create bootable CDs.

  You can start your computer in Mode safe?

• Is it possible to have the 64-Bit and 32-bit operating system installed on the same computer?

  * Original title: installation of window OS

  Hi all

  In my system, it's already installed 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to install 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Is it possible to have two operating system installed on the same computer? Can I do it?

  PL, guide me positively.

  Best regards

  Kapil Kumar.

  The amount of RAM is okay as long as you have a minimum of 2 GB installed. Even if you have more than 4 GB, it would not matter, Windows 7 Home Premium just won't recognize it.

  In respect with the both, you can set up a dual-boot configuration. Please note that you must have a unique product key to activate Windows 7 Home Premium.

  See the instructions how to set up a partition:

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/dual-boot-Windows-10-other-versions-Windows/

  References Windows 10, but the same instructions for Windows 7 also work.

  Click Start, right-click computer, click on manage

  Click on disk management

  Select the system partition in which Windows 10 is installed. Right-click, and then click on cut.

  

  Enter the amount of space you want to allocate to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, then click on cut. The more, the better.

  

  An unallocated partition will now be available. Right-click, and then click New Simple Volume

  

  This will start the wizard new Simple Volume, which will allow you to format, assign a drive letter and volume label.

  

  Once your partition is ready, you are now ready to install Windows 7

  Boot from the Windows 7 Home Premium disc, then

  Click Custom (advanced option)

  

  Select the partition we created earlier, and then click Next.

  

  Wait for the copy of the Windows installation files.

• Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

  The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman). They told me that I could replace it (it will just keep failing until at last it dies just) but I have to re - install the operating system. The laptop comes with Windows 7 and I upgraded to 8 when it came out (I think). I don't have a recovery disk.

  How can I replace the corrupted hard drive and re-install the operating system?

  If I need to buy Windows 8, where can I find?

  Would it not easier that I left the repair shop handle it?

• T of what guest operating systems will start the VMware Support for EFI?

  Is there a list of support guest OS for the EFI firmware?  Mianly supported by VMware - do not try, fail, call support technique etc etc.   My experiences on the TP forums, I guess that there is not.  Some OS (such as Windows Server) come with a screen to choose BIOS/EFI firmware.  If not, you need to go to setting > Hard Drive OPtions-> advanced _ > boot using EFI.  In particular there at - it versions of Linux that you give you option of BIOS/EFI firmware before the confutation of VM is complete, so the hard drive then be custom.

  We will officially support the EFI firmware for any guest operating system to which all the following conditions are met:

  • We list this guest operating system, supported in the VMware Compatibility Guide for operating systems and your virtualization product.
  • The guest operating system supports EFI in the operating system installation media.
  • Support the guest OS EFI has no catastrophic flaws (for example Fedora 12 x 64, FreeBSD 11, Centos 6.0 through all the 6.2 have catastrophic flaws).

  New computer virtual assistant of 11 workstation has only the option of EFI firmware for Windows clients.  Special mention, do not yet support us Easy Install for non EFI customers in 11 workstations.  For all other customer support EFI OSes, you can do a manual installation after choosing the EFI firmware in the virtual machine settings > Options > Advanced > Boot with EFI instead of the BIOS.

  I don't understand your concern about the personalization of the hard drive... Could you elaborate?

  See you soon,.

• Satellite A100-549: BSOD after I used the recovery from another PC

  Hello.

  Had a few probs with my laptop and decided to recover it using another pc recovery disc.
  I get the laptop is a Toshiba a100-549. Unfortunately for some reason I can't disks that were originally with her.

  The opertaing system is Windows xp. The disks I got with a Vista.
  It loads OK but goes to a blue screen after 30 seconds and restarts. Is there a reason for this and can I do.

  I think I may need to get your hands on a good drive and load it on again.
  Someone at - it copies of drives for this laptop and able to send me their. I'll gladly pay for them...

  Colin

  Hello

  Don t user recovery drive to another PC, because it won't work.
  You can use a clean Windows OS disk or the Toshiba recovery disc.

  Why? Because the recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing a Windows OS, drivers and other software.
  If you want to use the recovery from another PC disk then all the drivers, tools and software distributed for this PC will be loaded on your Toshiba laptop.
  This can cause the BSOD!

  So if you n t have the Toshiba recovery disc then you should use MS Windows CD!
  Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba page!

• do I have to buy the new key to run the operating system on a virtual machine personal use? SOS. SOS...

  Hello

  I wanted to run vista on the same computer; but on a virtual machine. I wanted to know if I should buy a seprate key. I was perplexed because it is on the same computer at home. I wanted to use it for personal use as run the operating system on the virtual machine for programs to avoid viruses and use it kind of like a backup. I asked around only to meddle with the answers. Many people need to know the right answer to this question. Oh guys please keep this thread alive for others!

  Thank you

  Hello

  the rules of licensing are:

  One license = Installation and which includes computer

  the vista virtual machine installation will be a second installation requiring a second license of Vista
