• How findout if all the partitions have been deleted and now a laptop that has Windows 8 operating system using Windows Vista with a shell IE 9?

  I bought a laptop broken at a friend's House. It is not used for the operating system windows 8 and wanted to use the Windows Vista operating system. Son of friends put in place this laptop for it, which was new when she bought in a retail store. Is there a way I can find out whether all the partitions have been deleted during the installation of Vista? I still see window 8 logo that I sign as an administrator user on this laptop.

  When I log on this computer, the previous owner of the screen name is the only one that appears. I go in Control Panel, click Add another account, then I see the screen name I posted. I could use the WiFi from my PC at home that Win 7 OS.

  When I started working with the laptop, I was able to bring control of the camera. Now I thought that the version that I use does not allow this operation. Be happy with any Positive help with my problems.

  Thank you

  Who has installed Windows Vista, your son or friend?  Fact that they create a dual boot environment or reformat?

  http://www.technorms.com/8438/Windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition

  Multibooting requires separate partitions on the hard drive of your computer for each operating system.  To create and format a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.

  To check if a dual boot system in place, start > Type msconfig

  Click on the Startup tab

  You see two operating systems listed?  Windows 8, Windows Vista

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/how-to-change-default-OS-for-dual-boot-system/

  I think that Windows 8 has the following partitions

  400 MB Partition Recovery (contains recovery information dated from before my upgrade)

  • 300 MB EFI System Partition
  • 350 MB Partition Recovery (contains information for recovery of my upgrade)
  • 17 GB Partition Recovery
  • 220 GB of Partition primary

  Windows Vista has drive C and drive D

  Done reformatting refers to a hard disk or partition that already has been formatted or that contains data on it. Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.

  I have Windows XP Pro. and lose the connection with my printer (HP Officejet 6500 and I was told that I had to upgrade to Windows 7) Can I upgrade to Windows 7 without having to first install Vista?

  You can - clean installation however.  No direct path from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  If the machine is old, but - I wouldn't bother.  You will end up by it hate because it is slow and probably blame the operating system.

  The upgrade to Windows 7 is not a solution for the loss of connectivity to a printer - not a logic.

  Is what SPECIFIC printer this?

  HP Officejet 6500 has e-all-in-One Printer series - E710

  • HP Officejet 6500 has e-All-in-One Printer - E710a
  • HP Officejet 6500 a Plus e-All-in-One - E710n

  HP Officejet 6500 All - in - One Printer series - E709

  • HP Officejet 6500 - E709n wireless all in one printer
  • HP Officejet 6500 - E709q wireless all-in-one printer

  If you download and install the latest appropriate WIndows XP complete software driver for your printer and maybe upgrade the firmware of the printer itself-, it would probably solve your problem.  If you use it as a wireless printer (it is printed through your network, but not connected by a cable [ethernet]) so you can check for updgrades to the firmware of your router (level) and reconfigure your network completely wireless if you start with a good foundation.

• Vista Home Premium: Startup time and office flaws often requiring the log off / log on to Correct

  At all to being able to help solve these problems successfully:

  When I bought my office, it came preloaded with Win XP (a FANATASTIC/s o!) with an installation disc free for Vista Home Premium. I have installed Vista until recently due to support XP being more available.

  Problems currently on a regular basis (every reboot) are:

  (1) long startup (sometimes nearly 10 minutes)

  (2) the "Blacktop" (AERO) Vista appears generally "gray" (like Win Classic) but with VERY little
  Services (icons missing, unable to run diagnostic programs, etc.).

  In this situation, I usually 'Log Off' and 'Connect' again and it fixes the problem-"bitumen".
  is back with the functions of the al. Despite this, I'll restart desktop using Services.msc. for all the functions

  are available.

  System information:

  (A) AMD 64 Athlon 3500 + (2.20 GHz)
  (B) 3.00 GB RAM
  (C) Vista 32 Bit (SP1 and SP2 installed (all updates current)
  (D) ATI Radeon XPress 200 Series (current driver)
  (E) all drivers are current (no changes required)
  (F) update BIOS (not not required)

  Note:

  (1) I am the user ONLY if the 'Default' options are regularly 'Log In' (as admin) - no guest accounts, etc.

  (2) I reduced some Desktop effects, which are not necessary (Menu Fade in and out, etc.) according to

  instructions of MSFT community on how to do this and what is safe to disable. This helped a little
  and I don't miss these features.

  (2) I deleted the "Windows.old" folder (as there was nothing to add to the Vista o/s).

  (3) I have NOT deleted the Partition which was part of the Win XP System Restore feature as)
  "I don't know if I should as well as to think that I should keep this system offline and running XP).

  (4) I use a security program that securely wipes deleted data, cache password, etc..
  Under Win XP, there was the possibility of "Protect Restore Points" (not required for Vista).
  I do NOT use the option "delete shadow copies".

  My questions are:

  (A) what is the cause of the boot extended both office and how to tackle it successfully?

  (B) what is the problem with the desktop computer? I don't mind the Log in and out a lot but would like to get rid
  me of this disadvantage.  I would like TO have the Vista boot WITHOUT having to Log in and out to

  ensure that the AERO desktop is available and functional.

  (C) should I delete the files and restore Partition in Win XP? Is this the cause may be a conflict with
  Vista? Also, please let know us if you think it would be better to keep these files available if no
  conflicts are possible or probable.

  (D) what is the path, the file name or folder (path if necessary) which governs the entire desktop
  (startup, appearance, services, etc.). so I can enter my security software to exclude it from
  be affected?

  Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

  Incidentally - for all owners of Scanner Epson 1200U running Vista Service Pack 2:

  YES! Successfully, you CAN install and run this scanner on Vista with the EPSON Twain 5.53 driver without twisting your registry, etc.

  Steps to follow:

  (1) download the file of v5.53 (10245.exe) driver TWAIN Epson

  2) extract to the folder (default location or a location of choice) and open the folder

  (3) right click on the "Setup.exe" file, go to properties and set the compatibility to Win XP SP-2

  (4) run the configuration file and wait for Windows Vista to give up the search on the web, ignore the 'warning' when he

  comes to the top and connect the scanner to complete installation as you did under Win XP (or earlier versions)

  NOTE: You will have to wait a long TIME for the next window appears once complete Vista

  research on the web. It seems that the reason why a lot of Vista with the Epson 1200U Scanner users are

  running out of patience, that it was my problem-so, the Eureka moment happened!

  My camera works great! The only loss is you open TWAIN in the application, is not
  automatically start more. This may be fixable, but I'm glad it works and I don't know enough to make the necessary changes in the registry, etc.

  Thanks again for your help!
