Partition and add vista as operating system second Pavilion hp P/N F9J18UA

WINDOWS VISTA CAN BE INSTALLED FROM A KEY PLAYER, (FLASH DRIVE)?

Hey @oz0921 ,

Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I've read about you want to load Windows Vista on your HP Pavilion 11-n010dx x 360.

You can load Windows Vista from a flash drive, but your system shows me that you are running Windows 8.1. You might want to look at this document on Windows Dual boot.  Seems you have the old system running first and then you can dualboot.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

  • When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

    Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

    First run Memtest86 +:
    It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
    sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  • Hard drive partition and install the new operating system

    HY,

    If I partition my hard drive and I install a new OS (E.g. Ubuntu 14.04) my warranty ends?

    Thank you

    SA

    Hello

    No, it will not void the warranty but HP only supports the problems with the original operating system and prove the operation of the equipment of the original OS.

    Do the recovery disks and keep them safe before so that you could go back to factory settings if there is no problem of partitioning.

    Recovery partition usually works after partitioning, depends on your luck, but you could make the 'Active' Partition in disk management and try for recovery if it works or not.

    Thank you

  • Shrinking Bootcamp partition and add space for Macintosh HD

    Guys, after helping me with my previous question, my Macbook is almost as I want it to be. As said, I have a Macbook Pro 15 "retina end 2013 with OS X El Captain (later) and in addition, a Bootcamp with Windows partition 8.1." It's that everything works fine now, but the partition Windows 8.1 has 300 GB and my score only 80 GB hard drive Macintosh.

    I wanted to shrink the partition, Bootcamp in Windows 8, 1 with Minitool Partition software but, obviously, when I reduce this score I get unallocated space that I can't turn into a new partition because I have 4 partitions in the MBR slot. So, what is the best way to reduce my Bootcamp partition and add space on the Macintosh HD partition?

    Thank you very much!

  • How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?

    How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?  I remember on xp, I couldn't allow him to function as a windows 95 or 98, if I wanted to.  I just want my computer works like windows xp.

    So can YER a little confused you explain a little better please.

    OR

    do you mean get W7 to resemble the way XP worked?

    In this case (start base fast and simple):

    • try to set a theme for a basic/classic theme - more like 98 then XP well.
    • Download (AV Control) and then use "classic shell" - menu style old XP.
    • Ditto for "explore classic" mentioned on this site.
    • Set the control panel to use the icons (small or large) as opposed to categories.

    But its still W7 in disguise.

    Is that the sort of thing you mean?

    If so, personally, I think its better to stick with W7 and get used to. I bet you will love windows 8 :)

  • It is not uncommon for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I create these extra images that appear spontaneously myself this system should be obliging. I have 12 items and the Windows 7 operating system.

    I have 12 items and the Windows 7 operating system. It is not uncommon for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I'm not creating these additional images myself, so must be the system. Deletion (including from the HDD) do not help. Can anyone help please?

    1. the only way to image files be automatically added to the catalog is to enable the option "watch folders" in the file menu and choosing not to have the Organizer warn you of any additions. If these files are already in the catalog they should be ignored, only new files should be added.

    2. otherwise, there is a downloader option to ignore duplicates when you import from card reader or the camera to avoid importing several times the same card.

    The organiser considers that the files are duplicated when they have the same "date taken" and the size in KB.

  • Why the books are grouped and preinstalled with the operating system?

    It's complaints

    My Portege has Windwosw Vista. I didn't want to buy Vista, but they were only selling with him and no other choice was possible to purchase.

    First of all, my laptop had problems to install Windows updates. I could not connect my institution's Internet System. I had to reinstall the system again.
    It's a waste of time!

    After re-installation of the button for the sound on the outside Panel does not work correctly.

    Also, when I try to stop the laptop sometimes it restarts itself - he doesn't stop!

    Secondly, I had a problem with the laptop, when an opportunity to visit a well-known site, it serves to block itself.
    Once, when he is blocked, I had to restart and its screen remained black. They took for repair. It was delivered later - repaired, but with a defect on the screen!
    What a... workers!

    When I bought this laptop he had an offer with the update of Vista with Windows 7 after their release.
    Wonderful. But just note, Toshiba has the highest price of the offer, compared to its competitors - 30 (or £) against 15 for others, which of course I'm not going to pay.

    I already paid for Vista, which is incredible, and I knew, but I had not choice not to buy!

    All right, so there is still competition in the market, several possibilities are present - install Windows cracked, switch to Linux or just buy an Apple!

    Please, take this comment seriously! And please, stop with group buying, no matter what the benefit is. It won't work for long.

    Hi mate

    Fact is that most of the laptop manufacturers sell the computer and laptop computer with a preinstalled operating system. So I wouldn't blame Toshiba or other brands for which

    You get a new computer/laptop with a new OS.
    During the past 20 years, Microsoft released 3.0 Win, Win 95, Win 98, Win NT, W2k, Win XP, Win ME, Vista and Win 7, I remember that all my computers or laptops were grouped with these operating systems

    Toshiba offers the notebook with a clean image and you can also create a recovery disk (so don t need to buy anything if you need t n)
    Of course, each of us can install a clean OS, but there are a lot of people who are happy with such image pre-installed because everything is pre-installed and configured.

    Many people have no knowledge of computer wide and are really recognizing that everything is pre-installed and the configuration does not have a lot of time

    With regard to the question of the laptop;
    What to say; you had a bad luck that something was wrong with the laptop. This can still happen that my new LCD TV other manufacturer, was dead after two weeks, I called ASP, then replaced the screen now is ok

  • Delete/reformat the drive hard partition (s) to activate the operating system reinstall

    I have a HP 2000 2b09wm. He just broke, gives me the error message saying in that I needed a new hard drive. Suppose the old went kaput (even though I bought this pc on eBay not a month or two before). I have a new HD and a Windows 8 reinstall the software from a dealer on eBay. I tried several routes to try to reinstall the OS, resulting in many dead ends *. I asked the dealer to help, but did not get much. The last thing he offered was to remove the partitions in the new HD. I looked at a page eHow, how to remove Partitions on a hard drive. It is said to get a CD which includes fdisk.com. I burned super fdisk (2 MB) of SFbootablecd.iso and fdisk (40 MB) of fd11src.iso. I went into the BIOS to set the boot order. I put the saved first, CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and tried the two CDs. It always starts with just a screen with this:

    Not found boot device
    Please install an operating system on your hard drive
    Hard drive (3F0)
    F2 System Diagnostics
    For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup

    I even tried to put the CD/DVD ROM USB drive first... same results.

    So my questions to you, I guess, is first of all, why the CDs fdisk is not start? I burn the evil fdisk? Second, do you know why my OS couldn't be installed using the software to reinstall? The guy I got it (http://www.ebay.com/itm/181524428825?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) , verified_computer_specialists, has excellent comments, so I guess that the software is legitimate and the computer is actually original with Windows 8.

    Thank you.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
