Professional Windows xp question

• Professional Windows does not see my hard drive during installation and wants to leave the installer.

  installed the new hard drive in my compaq lap top, started the professional windows installation and stops because it cannot find the hard drive. It is in the bios and has passed the tests. My lap top has only a cd/dvd drive, a floppy drive. Not knowing what to do.

  It is probably because you have a hard drive Serial ATA (SATA) in your computer.  These drives did not exist when Windows XP came out and so no drivers for this type of disc can be found in a regular Windows XP don't install.  Windows makes allowances for that by inviting you to press the "F6" key at the beginning of the installation process, but then you must provide the SATA drivers diskette (no other medium will do).

  "Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during installation of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003"

  We use the exact and some error message in more detail on the issue.  This problem occurs with any file on the disk or only some of them?  You are logged as administrator?  Has anything changed recently (hardware or software)?

  The first thing I would say to run a Virus scan and malware.  If you do not have an antivirus program, then you can get one here: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/

  If there are no problems found then not try the following steps:

• Can I use a professional WIndows 7 upgrade disk from a dead computer to upgrade my current computer to Windows 7 Home Premium?

  Can I use the upgrade disk to update my new computer that came with Windows 7 Home Premium?

  If yes how can I do and activate the new version?

  Just use the key of Windows 7 Pro upgrade to your new computer via the "Anytime Upgrade" option. You may or may not need to re - activate by phone depending on how long the Windows 7 Pro key was not in use (see the end of my response to instructions on activation by telephone).

  = Upgrade Instructions =.

  To start the upgrade process:
  Click on start/search and enter the words: Express upgrade
  Then, in the list of the search results, click on "Windows Anytime Upgrade".
  Then follow the prompts on the screen anytime upgrade.
  Basically, all you need to do is enter the upgrade Windows 7 Professional product key.

  Alternative methods:
  (Located at the top right) Start/Control Panel/small icons option / click the "Windows Anytime Upgrade".

  Enter the text below into the run (Windows KEY + R or a command prompt) dialog box:

• The upgrade to Windows 7 Professional Windows and not Windows 8?

  I have Windows 7 on my computer. I bought an upgrade to Windows 7 Professional last year. When I try to update I get sent to Windows 8 upgrade. How can I get Windows 7 to Windows 7 Professional without buying an upgrade of Windows 8?

  Is the Professional Windows 7, upgrade or an Express upgrade?

  The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
   
  An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
   
  What happens if I lose my product key?
   
  If you lose your product key, you can return to

  www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
   
  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
   
   
   
  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
   
  -HP use F9 on most of its systems
   
  -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
   
  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12
   
   
   
  In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
   
   
   
  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  to keep the disc and just remove it from this computer.     What happens if someone else wants the computer I leave it on and

  Give them the disc.   How can I handle this?     I am new to this?    Someone just set up my new computer and I want to

  CAN SOMEONE HELP ME SOON!    A.S.A.P.!    Cause I need to work for the new space.

  Thank you.    Sharon

  If you delete all partitions found (when booting from the cd of win) it will only destroy what is on the hard drive of the PC (all data can be saved), he won't do anything to victory dvd

  If your new PC shipped with win7 preinstalled you need not really your origonal dvd win7. -You can sell or keep

  If you do not want to give the old PC, then simply remove the hard drive (how can be found on google) and destroy the hard drive with a heavy hammer

  (A seven year old PC is practically worthless)

• Professional Windows XP search page and the System Restore page do not work.

  I recently did a clean install of Windows XP Professional on a laptop. I then upgraded to SP 3. I wanted to update some of my drivers and when I tried to open the page the system restore to create a restore point, the page is empty.  Later when I had questions, I tried to do a search and I have basically the same question. The search page opens with the puppy in the blue box, but nothing else.  Someone has seen this before and can help you. I can do another clean install if I have to, but I try to avoid it if I can.  Thank you in advance for any help I can get.

  No matter what media you used to install XP.

  You don't have symptoms consistent with a need to run sfc/scannow.

  If sfc/scannow solves your problems, I'll send you (or your charitable organization preferred) US $100.

  That Microsoft technical support engineers constantly not to mention, is that if you have installed SP3 from a download and your XP installation CD bootable real is not SP3 (what is?) running sfc/scannow will upset you constantly to insert your installation of SP3 CD and you will last anything else than a big frustrating waste of your time.  It will not help you in any case.

  @Microsoft support Engineer Imran M: Please explain why you think the sfc/scannow will correct this problem.

  Also, you have none of the symptoms consistent with a need to run the fix it.  Next, you need not to "check if it helps" - you need your fix.

  In fact, I've recreated the problem on my system and run the fix it and here is what he said:

  We did not identify any problems and that's why no fixes have been applied.

  Here is my usual full answer to the symptoms you describe.  If you have not been on the Internet with your own installation, your system should not have malware on it (yet), but I have at least "would fix the immediate question" as shown below by the three mentioned DLLs:

  If your system restore page display only the title bar 'System Restore' or your user accounts settings page don't watch the title bar of "User accounts" and the screen where information needs to be is an empty white box, and/or your Windows Search function shows just Rover (the animated search dog)...

  System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.  If SR was working before and is now afflicted, run some scans and then fix any problems.

  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

  Your system is currently or has been reached by malicious software.

  You can now fix the symptom and scanning for malware later, or you can now find malware and fix the remains later.  I recommend just fixing the symptom of the empty page and forget to do the scans.  The symptom of the problem of fixing and fixing the problem are two different things.

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans using own it may also be necessary to re-register some dll (or you can do this part first, but you still have to do the scans).

  Just fix the immediate question:

  Looks like your file jscript.dll became somehow not registered so you can re-record it.

  There are probably a few other things that do not work you know yet, so fix them all at once.

  Re-registration of these DLLs is correct, even if they do not need renewal.  You can also re-register the dll before the scans that can solve the problem, but the scans are always recommended.

  Click Start, run, and in the box enter orders following one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command one at a time.

  regsvr32 jscript.dll
  regsvr32 vbscript.dll
  regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll (it's a look of slash)

  The last order for mshtml load the DLL but can also contain a harmless warning depending on your environment.

• Cannot add a professional Windows 7 computer in the field of a SBS 2003 R2 server

  I'm working on a Windows 2003 R2 Small Business Systems network, with 6 Windows Vista computers already attached to his field. I'm adding a laptop Windows 7 Professional in this area, but were not able to do that the Bill, even though I tried several of the fixes I found on various forums. I ran the KB926505 hotfix on the server, tried to add the computer through the process of adding sever then tried to add the computer. All efforts have failed. When you use the server set up, I told myself that a script will run to complete the process, but is happening. When I try to add the computer to the domain of the computer, I get an error that says it cannot find the domain controller, even if I ping the server IP.  The text of the file "dcdiag.txt" is-> DNS asked successfully for the resource record (SRV) service location used to locate a domain controller "pinnaclesalesinc.local":

• Bootcamp Windows 10 question

  Hi all

  Stumbled upon a problem, try to install Windows 10 an end 2014 27' iMac w/retina education runs Yosemite 10.10.5. Bootcamp is V 5.1.4. 32 GB, 3.5 ghz Intel I5. Disk of 1 TB of Fusion. Before you try this, I read the guide of Bootcamp to install windows, but also a number of other tutorials and forum messages about potential problems. This research, I learned that for EDU edition you must change the name of the file from Win10_1607_Education_English_x64.iso to Win10_1607_English_x64.iso. Apparently to have the former name of the file may cause OS X to not recognize the ISO. That fact I started Bootcamp, waited while the software downloaded and created a bootable USB key and partitioned my drive giving Windows 70 GB of space. After that, I got the message that my computer is restarts. Upon restarting, I got the black screen with the blue Windows logo and a spinning loading animation. After a few minutes, a blue screen with a message "Windows has encountered and error with computer and must restart," or something similar. He was pretty quick, so maybe it's not word for Word, but it was not a helpful post in terms of saying something specific. When the computer reboots, I am sent directly to OS X, though a bit slower than normal. I tried to restart with the flash drive to see if the installer would start up, no dice. Try now the Option key at startup, the flash player is not available. Went into my settings to see if I could change my startup on Win disk install USB, no luck it no more.

  Now for the question: How can I get the Windows installation again? What I have to start the process, and if so, what should I use Bootcamp to delete the partition that was created? I have re-run Bootcamp and the only option that is checked is the partition and start and install/uninstall windows and delete the partition.

  Thanks for the help.

  Perform the following two procedures

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

  How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

  If you use a USB drive, not a USB flash drive, you will have problems. It is recommended to use a 8-16 GB USB2 flash drive.

  If the installation program is located on a USB Flash drive, stop your Mac, connect the USB key, restart and hold down the alt/option key and select the Windows icon in the USB port. This installs Windows in BIOS mode. If you click the start EFI icon, it will install using the EFI mode (faster). You may need to change the partition from MBR to GPT using GPT Fdisk.

• Re: Sdatellite A300-15 has PSAJ4E - Windows 7 questions

  Nice day

  I had a problem to run windows 7 RC to my Satallite A300 - 15A (model No.) PSAJ4E-00S00XAR).
  Me and my friend tried windows 7 RC on our laptops, my laptop model noted above while his laptop computer comes from a different manufacturer.after, we have finished installing windows 7 RC on our laptop, everything seems fine, most of the drivers of my laptop are already (Windows 7 provided the pilots already) ,
  then after a few reboots, my keyboard and the touchpad do not work anymore.

  To find the problem, I used a usb mouse and went to the Device Manager, I discovered that the pilot of the touchpad is not detected, so I downloaded all the drivers that I can find on the support site (I had some knowledge about some basic troubleshooting), then after you have installed all the drivers respected, everything seems to be working again I rebooted and the same problem with the drivers came out.

  Is my laptop have some compatibility issues on windows 7? or he got to do with my previous operating system (windows Vista premium edition) that is bundled with my laptop? somesay it has something to do with my OS and the OEM thinngy, if so, how can I get windows 7 running on my laptop?

  all comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated, I just want to maximize the material of my laptop, vista windows reads only 3 GB of my RAM and Fabrice how I adjust my vista (withdrawal of unnessessary services, applications and processes.
  He's still eating a minimum of 700 MB of my RAM, while my friends windows 7 eats approximately 450 to 700 MB of ram with some open applications (firefox and yahoo messenger).

  I really need these extra RAM for my multitaskiing and my work school (I'm a computer science MAJOR).
  I really need to be sure, on how I can make windows 7 work on my laptop.
