Question about the installation of XP with an OEM disc and using the number of CoA HP

Hello

I have a DC5100SFF that I bought refurbished last year, and it came not with all drives. It comes with windows XP pro and has the CoA sticker with the activation code.  It also has "HP" written on it.

I thought to wipe the hard drive and reinstall XP Pro in the near future.  I have an an OEM Windows XP Pro disc, but it is not specific to HP. The CoA sticker has been removed from the new drive (and the package is not open), but there is nothing on the packaging to indicate what OEM brand (its likely it was another popular provider).

My question is, if I install XP from this disc, he on my machine can use the number on the certificate of authenticity to activate it, or do I need to use a specific disc HP XP Pro?

Thank you

Hello:

David is correct. You don't have the product key if you use recovery discs.

However, I believe that you can still get the recovery disc for your Business from HP desktop PC.

Just dial 1-800-334-5144 and inform the representative of customer services that you need a set of quick restore CD.

You will need to provide the model number and serial number.

A game costs $10.00.

As for your other question... If someone has already used the product key XP pro on the sticker on your PC, you can use any disk XP Pro OEM installation and enter the product key.

I do it all the time. I used OEM Dell on HP PC disks. Never had a problem.

  • A question about the number of error indicated by SQL line * more

    Hello everyone,

    I have a question for the line number specified by SQL * more whenever he is in error (syntax error, for example) in your script file.

    Hello

    Here, a few questions about the number:

    (1) usually, you should get the Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD. If you didn t receive this DVD then you can order it here https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you could install the disc of Microsoft Vista.

    (2) of course, you can do this. I think that Win XP drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

    (3) Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. For more information, see your manual or search on this forum for similar topics

    (4) maybe it s associated with the graphics driver. Check if you can update. I would recommend additional check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS

  • A question about the virtual processors in the prompt

    Dear Sir

    I have a general question about the number of virtual processors in the guest system.

    I use VMware ESXi 4.0.

    Say if my physical host has only 2 cups carrots (with or without HT should be the same), then is - it true that I can only attribute 2 virtual processors per virtual machine?

    Is it possible to give 4, 8 virtual processors in virtual machines?

    In my drop down menu I can NOT choose more than 2 virtual processors per virtual machine, I want to just make sure that it is not the problem of license.

    Thank you very much.

    So the general rule is the number of vcpus don't CAN NEVER exceed the number of physical processors. Is this correct?

    Replace "physical cpu" by "physical cores" and you are right, because a vCPU is mapped to a kernel. For example, you can assign 4 vCPU with a Quad-Core processor.

    If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. If you would be able to map 2 vCPU to the base, the vCPUs had to wait for them all the time because the physical kernel can simply perform an action at a time, why you would decrease the performance of your virtual machine by setting 2 vCPUs.

    It is not changed in vSphere 5.

  • A question about the insertion of the localTimeStamp returned the value into a timestamp with time zone column

    Hello

    Oracle version: Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.1.0 - 64 bit

    OS: CentOS 4.6 X86_64                  

    I have a question about the localTimeStamp function. According to the documentation for this function is
    the same thing as current_TimeStamp except that the returned value does not include the time zone.

    Consider the following example:

    SQL > create table tmptab (colval timestamp with time zone not null);

    Table created.

    SQL > insert into tmptab (colval) values (localTimeStamp);

    1 line of creation.

    SQL > select t1.colval, tmptab from t1;

    COLVAL

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    24 JANUARY 14 09.45.42.253732 H + 01:00

    SQL >

    Why introduce the foregoing did not fail? the data type of the column in my table colval expects a timestamp with time zone

    during each which inserts as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) is not provided by the localTimeStamp function.

    Could someone kindly tell me what I misunderstood?

    Thanks in advance,

    Then, when you do

    create table t (neck DATE);

    Insert into t (to_date ('1st January 2014', ' mon-dd-yyyy "");)

    Are you surprised that it works? After all a DATE column contains a time component, you do not provide: but he

    works and gives you 00:00:00 as the component "hour".

    Similarly, the timezone component is being developed to automatically with, I think, time zone of your system.

  • Question about the database to use with ESX and Labmanager

    Hello

    Finally my company is buying a permit for Labmanager and ESX server using Labmanager to our tests.

    We had a question about the database that we use for the actual installation.

    Could we use MY - SQL? Or that we have the olbigation to install a SQL or Oracle DB for the whole system to work?

    We prefer to use MY_SQL because it is open-source and will cost less to use for us.

    Thanks in advance for the answer and please excuse my bad English, I'm french spoke first.

    Montreal.

    Lab Manager installs SQL Express as part of the installation and use. If you install also Virtual Center as part of your deployment of Lab Manager (do not use an existing VC server), you can use the database SQL Express is included for small installations of ESX, but MY SQL is not an option. You can search the databases supported in the installation guide for what version you deploy.

  • Questions about the export of PDF with India CS5.5

    Hey all,.

    A few questions about the export to PDF of the most recent version of India.

    First of all, I noticed it seems to take much more time to access a PDF file. Any suggestions about how to speed up the process? It took 8 minutes to generate a PDF low resolution (for printing) of a document of 24pp with placed images and vector graphics. Wow, that's a long wait, especially for evidence.

    Second, the background task... If I get it will make this PDF of 8 minutes and then more work on the document, which is exactly in the PDF? Usually, I have save before making a PDF or printing. Thus, the latest version is saved which will be in the PDF?

    (Either incidentally, this ability to work on the doc while generating a PDF file seems kind of weird. Generally, we do a PDF for proofing, or even for printing, when any changes have been made and that everything is "final". Therefore, I see no advantage in being able to work on my document while it is making a PDF file, I am probably once your revisions for the moment. I must say that I like the progress bar that you get when you perform an interactive PDF, as you know that you can not work on the document when it is on the screen...)

    Thank you as always.

    Good, people. Wanted to just follow this and post my results. It turns out that the problem is somewhere in the Illustrator file. I never had the time to guess what work plan was the culprit. Other India files PDF files is transparent and not a lot of time.

    No resolution, unfortunately, just good to know that it is not all India files on my system. Phew!

    THANK YOU for your advice.

  • Question about the recovery partition

    Hello.

    I have a question about the recovery of HARD drive partition.

    If I do the operation to clear the hard disk option in the wizard it will remove * all * or it will keep my partition recovery in this way I can come back later. I want to know because I would like to put on a different OS.

    I know he said he would, but caution in the PDF, I found it says that on a normal recovery too (that he would remove each partition) and I'm a little confused about how the recovery actually worked.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly with this option to erase.

    In General, Toshiba Recovery disk will wipe your entire HDD to restore factory settings correctly. This means that if you start from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be removed.

    In addition, the recovery disk doesn t create a recovery partition. It is not available. Disk copy just the files on the second partition in folder HDDrecovery to start an installation of HARD drive recovery.

  • Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

    I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

    (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
    (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
    (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
    (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
    Thank you very much!

    Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.
    (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
     
    Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.
    (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
     
    Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.
     
     

    These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

    · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · Click general in the left column

    · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

    Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  • Questions about the stores in iProcurement

    All,

    I have a few questions about the implementation of iProcurement stores-

    1 oracle comes seeded with 2 stores "Backend" and "Exchange.Oracle.com. We do not have the use of these stores. I don't see an option to turn them off. Is it advisable to delete them? They occupy unnecessary space and are seen first. I read this on Metalink Note ID 429470.1 - "NOTE: while the value can be changed, it is highly recommended to not under any circumstances ever remove"Main store"page stores to manage content in iProcurement catalog administrator responsibility.» Do not know why.

    2. we have a Punchout for Dell U.S. catalog store and a catalog of information for Dell International. Buyers of Dell are iProcurement to each punchout to place their orders from Dell for the USA (shopping cart returns to iProcurement) - or - just use the store Dell International to go to an external URL and place their orders here (who do not return to iProcurement). What we see is - when the user clicks on the icon Dell us, it is taken directly to the URL of the PunchOut of Dell, but when he clicks on the Dell International icon, he was first taken to the list of catalogs available to the store (only 1 available catalog) and the user must then click again on the link Dell International. Is there a way to configure the Dell International icon to behave the way behaves in the Punchout icon - i.e. directly take the user to the Dell page without a need to show the list of catalogs.

    Hey,.
    To answer your Questions
    1. you can always delete those either if you want to... The reason why the link Meta Notes say not only not to delete the main store is
    i. because main store has all of the Local content in iProcurement (i.e. If you have any installation of items in the inventory you and them Module iProcurement Enabled (IE can be purchased at iProcurement) and any other article of local catalogues/categories Loaded using the BULK LOADING in iProcurement is also removed.)
    II. you can always delete the information Exchange Oracle store if you do not use.
    I would advise so do not remove the main store. Instead, you can change the sequence of the display of the stores you iProcurement Page.
    Browsing ==> Internet shopping Catalog Admin (RESP) ==> eContent crib ==> content management ==> stores ==> press the update sequence and make sure that the sequence number for main is superior to any other store so that the hand store falls last in the House of iProcurement Page

    2.i don't think that there is no option to do this. but you can always open an SR with Oracle about it and ask this question\

    hope that answers your Question.

    Thank you

  • A few questions about the difference between the Satellite P70, L70, S70

    Hello, I have a lot of questions about the P70, L70, S70 series that come with a 1920 x 1080 panel.

    (1) what are the differences between the L70 and S70 series? With the exception of the RAM and HARD drive capacity, books seem pretty identical.

    (2) P70, L70, S70 doesn't support a 2nd HARD drive or it's just the P70 series that support?

    (3) all the three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT panels?

    (4) of the above series, which supports mSata?

    (5) all the model of each series are delivered with support from mSata? For example, it could be that L70 - a - 13 m supports mSata is not the case of the L70-a-146?

    (6) all the foregoing, are delivered with a S - ATA II or III S - ATA interface?

    (7) who is the best of these series listed? I'm trying to understand what makes the big difference of S70 to P70 except for the envelope for example.

    Thank you in advance.

    > (1) what are the differences between the series L70 and S70? With the exception of the RAM and HARD drive capacity, books seem pretty identical.

    What models Sat L70 and S70 do you mean exactly? There are different L70-xxx-xxx and S70 models on the market that supports different hardware specifications.

    (> S70 2) P70, L70, support a 2nd drive HARD or is - it just the series P70 that support?
    As you can see in this [Sam P70 HDD replacement document, | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3903II0000R01.htm] the P70 series supports the 2nd drive Bay HARD, BUT even if there is a 2nd HARD drive Bay, this does not mean that you can use the 2nd HARD drive. In the case where the 2nd HARD drive Bay are equipped with HARD drive connector, you can use the 2nd HARD drive

    I also found the [Sam L70/S70 HDD replacement | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3703HG0000R01.htm] the document on the Toshiba page and there I see this 2nd HARD drive Bay is not available

    (> 3) all three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT panels?
    See point 1). Different P70, L70, S70 models were equipped with different material parts.

    (> 4) of the series above, which takes in charge mSata?
    As far as I know that some P70 models are equipped with an mSATA SSD of 256 GB.

    (> 5) do all the model of each series are delivered with support mSata? For example, it could be that L70 - a - 13 m supports mSata is not the case of the L70-a-146?
    See point 4) not all models supports the same hardware specifications

    (> 6) all of the above, come with a S - ATA II or III S - ATA interface?
    I don t think that SATA III is supported. I guess it would be SATA II

    (> 7) which is the best of these series listed? I'm trying to understand what makes the big difference of S70 to P70 except for the envelope for example.
    Not easy to answer because there are too many models released in Europea.
    And not all models are available in each country. So I guess you will have to look for the models that have been released in your country.
