Question related to the removal of Windows 8 and installing Windows XP

Please could someone help me, I need/want to remove windows 8 of my ASUS laptop and install windows xp, no matter what I do, I can't the laptop to boot from the CD-ROM drive.

Any help would be great, thanks in advance

was soon Liz

The first thing you should check with Asus to see if readers of Windows 7 are available for your computer model. not all manufacturers provide these. Otherwise, you need to consider to return the computer and buying one with Windows 8.0 Pro for the right to demotion or buy one with Windows 7 installed. Another thing to consider is that some computer manufacturers you want to change the operating system as your warranty. Once you find that drivers are available and you decide to go down just to buy a copy of Windows 7 and install like any other operating system. Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

  • Question related to the upgrade to Windows 8.1

    I currently have a HP laptop with 4 GB of Ram and 64-bit Windows 7 SR1 running. I'll give this computer to my wife, that his old bridge is going Tango-uniform (UT). I bought a new Lenovo SmartCheck S535 with 6 GB Ram 1 TB of storage. It came with Windows 7 SR1 already on board and he also included disks for Windows 8.1. First of all, I did a set of boot rescue disks and start them on the side.

    But now, I have a question, do I have to transfer my files from HP to Lenovo so that both use Windows 7 SR1? Or. should I go ahead and upgrade the OS and transfer the files.

    I'm sure that happens with a lot of people, there will be a lot of programs that I keep less re - install on the new computer. They are trash who are picked up along the way for those of us who use or service of computers as often we brush our teeth. Oops... maybe it's not such a great comparison, but you get what I mean!

    So, I would be very interested to hear your advice, your success, Yes and even a failure or two, all for the purpose of education.

    Thank you and I look forward to hearing from some of you.

    Original title: which came first - the chicken or the egg? (So to speak!)

    As a system dual boot, the only place where the 2 operating systems interact is the bootstrapper. Windows 8 will take the priority, is somewhat different, as far as it goes, and if you select then Windows 7 system reboots so it can do a little slower. Of course, there will be a loss of disk space but you are then also 2 installs of Office and everything else.

    If you were to go down the possibility to buy a kit Windows 8.1 you avoid the need to do a complete reinstall, because it will improve instead. You also avoid the need to run the upgrade of the store from 8 to 8.1. You must decide if the cost is justified, but in your situation, I would seriously consider that option as well.

    Even if I'm not a big fan of Windows 8 I made the full switch and are accustomed to him, I'm sure you will as well.

  • My question relates to the use of Windows Vista Edition backup Home Premium 32-bit

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit backup to create a backup on an external hard drive files. the disk is almost full, I noticed the backup appears to create a new set of files each time that it will consume a considerable amount of space.  Is it safe to delete old files to free up disk space as current backup do not complete due to lack of space. I don't want to lose all the essential files in the erase process.

    Yes, you can delete the old files, because they are not needed when the new backup is created.
    My suggestion is to set up a backup incremental and will ovewrite the old backups so that you don't have to delete old backups.

  • Question related to the entrance with pci 6221 and SCC 68 analog

    I use 6221 PCI and SCC 68 analog read of voltage between the terminals of the drain and the source of a transistor. The drain is at 0 Volt and source is connected to 5 volts via a 100 k resistor. The transistor is used as a follower of the source, and therefore the output is measured at the source of the Terminal. When I measure the voltage by using oscilloscope, I see clearly the change of output as a result of change of voltage of the door. But, when I try to acquire the same by using labview, I see nothing. I tried to change the signal to the CSR, NRSE, but nothing works. Seems to be that something related to differences in impedance. Can you please advice me on this issue? Thanks in advance

    Hi rsd111,

    I understand that you measure a circuit similar to this ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_drain)

    I also get that you use an external power supply with GND connected to the Drain and - 5V connected to the Source with a 100 k resistor.

    You should be able to measure the tension between D and S setup a differential measurement and connection Ai0 + D and Ai0 - s, in fact you can youse Ain you prefer.

    You should be able to do the same measure also at configuration NRSE linking Ai0 AiSense at the Source and drain.

    The Board's input impedance is greater than 10GOhm, it must behave as the oscilloscope in pairing mode high-impedance DC.

  • Qosmio G35-AV650: how remove Vista Boot Manager and install XP

    OK, I got the g35-av650 - US. I don't see any good American forum Toshiba, so I post here.
    First of all, I must say I'm getting very frustrated.

    1: I upgraded my BIOS to try to install windows vista. Vista installed, however, it works well. It must be driver problems. I deleted the partition that I allocated for Vista. Now, how the hell do I remove the screen/start menu in vista.
    I want to get back my XP operating system selection screen.
    I think it has to do with the boot record.

    2: my bluetooth isn't all work more (don't ask me why...) After that I updated the BIOS to version 1.40 to the newest 3.30.

    The recovery CD said I use the CD in the computer wrong? Is it possible to downgrade the BIOS/solve this problem, or bypass it.

    Thanks for the responses, because they will be very appreciated.

    Hello

    (1.) you want to reinstall XP on the HARD drive or you want to cancel only the vista Boot Manager.
    Usually after reinstalling XP, the boot manager should disappear.

    But I found these tips step by step in the internet:

    -Start your computer in Windows XP.
    -Make sure you have the image of Vista DVD emulated or in the DVD drive.
    -Go to start and run. Type in e:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt52 ALL/force (without the quotation marks and replace e: with the letter of your Vista DVD).
    -Restart the computer, and you notice that the selection of start menu disappeared.
    -Format the partition/drive where you installed Vista.
    -Remove the two (Boot.BAK and Bootsect.BAK) files on your file of root of drives XP (c), it was backup of your previous boot loader files, now is more useful.
    -Optional: Restart to make sure it still works.
    -Use your partition software to merge your partitions.

    2.), I hope that you have used the BIOS from the page we Toshiba. However, the BIOS update should not has a bad influence on the functionality of BT. Try to download the latest driver for BT and install again.

    Hello waxwingDr,

    I understand that you deleted Windows 10, but are still trying to see the drive Bootcamp on your Mac. Let's see if we can understand what is happening.

    The question I have is how did you remove the Windows of your Mac partition. Let me know if you did the following steps, described below.

    If you installed Windows on a drive with multiple partitions

    1. Start your Mac in OS X.
    2. Quit open applications and log out all users.
    3. Open Boot Camp Assistant, and then click on continue.
    4. Select "remove Windows 7 or later", then click on continue.
    5. Do one of the following:
      • If your Mac has a single drive internal, click on restore.
      • If your Mac has several internal drives, the Windows disk, select 'Restore the disk to a single OS X partition' Select to continue.

    Boot Camp: Remove Windows from your Mac
    https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH17861

    There are other ways to correct if you see always the two partitions. Take a look at the following article below that passes on the partitioning of a hard disk. It will be an option to delete a partition and expand your main Partition of Mac.

    Disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk
    https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH22240

    Expand a volume

    If you have several volumes on a device, and one of them is running out of space, you will be able to expand without losing the files it contains.

    To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after him on the device, and then move the end point of the volume you want to enlarge in the freed space. You cannot expand the last volume on a device.

    WARNING: When you delete a volume, all data thereon is erased. Don't forget to back up your data before you start.

    1. In the sidebar, select the device that contains the volume you want to enlarge, and then click the Partition button .

    2. In the diagram on the left, select the volume you want to delete, and then click the button Delete .

    3. Click on apply.

      The volume is deleted, reformatted, and all the free space is assigned to the previous volume.

    4. Click done.

    Let me know if it helps.

    Take care

    I installed win 8 January last on a xp pro machine, which was in surplus. I uninstalled the victory 8 and now impossible to reinstall win xp pro

    The computer is a homemade which ran from win xp pro for several years. I installed win 8 trial knowing that it would take a new installation of XP Pro after the expiration of the 8 victory. I have reset my bios on a cd first and started in the installation cd after installing win xp, it went to boot, and the cd has been removed. a restart was launched and he went into the bios to save install and after the robot below the windows splash logo made 3 passes, he stopped at halfway. After this is is spent in attempts to bppting I noticed that whenever the start stopped he left the Num lock, cap lock, and scroll liux lights were all on on the keyboard.

    Hello

    When your computer doesn't have enough memory for all the actions it is trying to perform, Windows and your programs can stop working. To help prevent information loss, Windows will inform you when your computer is low on memory. You can also learn to recognize the signs of low memory and take measures to prevent the problem. Insufficient memory problems occur when your computer is running out of RAM and becomes virtual memory. This can happen when you run more programs that the RAM memory installed on the computer is designed to support. Low-memory problems can also occur when a program free up memory that it needs more. This problem is called memory overuse or a memory leak.

    You can consult the following Microsoft articles and check if it helps.

  • Two questions relating to the archive redo logs with RMAN backup

    DB version: 11g

    I am new to RMAN.

    My database is in ARCHIVELOG mode. I intend to make a weekly backup for my db (02:00 every Monday). There will be all the incremental backups between these windows(Monday-to-Monday) of backup that I have would function for retrieving archived redo logs.


    Question1.
    I want to save the archived logs every day (for example at 23:00). How can I configure that?

    These are the configuration setting, that I intend to implement. I don't know how to set up the archive log backup
    configure default device type to disk;
    configure retention policy to redundancy;
    configure device type disk parallelism 1;
    configure channel 1 device type disk clear;
    configure channel 2 device type disk clear;
    configure channel 1 device type disk format '/u05/rman1/datafiles/rmnabackup1_%U';
    configure channel 2 device type disk format '/u05/rman2/datafiles/rmnabackup2_%U';
    configure controlfile autobackup on;
    configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/u05/rman1/control_files/rmnabackup1_%U';
    Question2.
    After that a new full backup is taken at 02:00 on Mondays, the archived redo logs accumulated since the last 7 days become unnecessary. How can I automate the removal of the archive redo logs with RMAN?

    Archive the log delete them all input command will take the destination of the log archiving log backup archive and delete this destination.

    In the log archive destination he has archived log in the sequence 1 to 100 then will he take the backup and delete any of the destination (Monday 23:00).

    In the log archive destination he has archived sequence journal 101 to 150 then will he take the backup and remove those in the destination (Tuesday 23:00).

    In the log archive destination he has archived log in the sequence from 151 to 180 so will he take the backup and delete any of the destination (Wednesday 10:00).

    It will continue like that.

  • Question related to the Xbox; Impossible to get Xbox live or to connect to the internet

    I've had my Xbox 360 for 4 years now and have recently decided to use it. I put in place when I was first, and for some reason any, I put the setting of family on it, I asked my parents if they did but they said no, so I thought I could have done myself but I don't remember the password or my security question and now I can not their and I can't get Xbox live or connect to the internet. I looked on the internet means that I could reset the Xbox or the parameters of the family, but they include all something on your hard drive but I don't have a hard drive, I also saw that if you put your age as 18 years as the family settings are enabled and you can find your access code in the settings , but I don't know where to find it. I would be grateful to anyone who helps to solve this problem.
