• Re: Questions about reinstalling Windows XP

  Hello...
  I have a portable satellite, and I must confess that I do not understand why everything should be formatted when reinstalling the system.
  I have several questions if someone could help please.

  Is it possible to reinstall Windows without losing programs installed?
  If I use the restore CD, all partitions will be deleted or only C:?

  Thank you very much!!

  > Is it possible to reinstall Windows without losing programs installed?
  No, because programs written entries in the Windows registry and sometimes in the Windows folder.
  If you need to reinstall all programs after reinstallation of Windows.

  > If I use the restore CD, all partitions will be deleted or only C:?
  If you use the recovery disk will be formatted the whole HARD drive then back up your data first.
  After reinstalling Windows, you save your data on the HARD disk again.

• Question of VAMT/Activation: Frequently reinstall Windows from Scratch - failing HDD and is about to replace it.

  Hello

  My HARD current (500 GB SATA 3 HDD Toshiba) drive is defect and displaying a warning. I bought a new WD 750 GB HDD to replace by ensuring that it is compatible with SATA 3.

  Problem: Reinstall Windows 7 Professional and Office 2010 Professional Plus activation of both of them.

  Activation/products affected: They are "Retail" (MAK) versions, but University so the activation limit is between 2 and 5. (Yes, they are installed on a single computer, are genuine and conform...).

  Background: I'm a college student, HE takes classes and we need to install a lot of software intensive resources. I usually reinstall Windows every 4-6 months to "Start fresh" I noticed increased performance and install only necessary software. It's up to the activations MAK is expected.

  Aim: I would like to use the tool, VAMT 2.0 (or ideally 3.0 - but I have no knowledge of SQL). Also, I do not have a server, just 2 or 3 Mobile Standard (8.1 of Windows, Windows XP Home Edition and this Windows 7 PC).

  I have already watched the video below on VAMT 2.0 before posting:

  http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/using-VAMT-2-0/10tkzhtlq

  Can I use activation by proxy in this case to "preserve the Activations using VAMT to store Installation and Confirmation IDS to avoid having activation problems common? If Yes, can someone please help me?

  I tried to put the Windows WMI firewall rules allow for the Public, home and work on both PC but could not activate during a previous attempt a few months ago.

  Any help is appreciated more than. I am all my backup files and need to get this done before the resumption of classes at the college level (in 3 days).

  Thank you in advance and sorry for the long post!

• HP Pavilion 17-e119wm: reinstall Windows 10 operating system after replacing the hard drive

  Hello, I bought a laptop HP Pavilion year last for work or school. He perfectly managed until yesterday when it was freezing to close unexpectedly. Waited about half an hour to see if it would work himself, I had several programs running at the same time. With no results, I did a hard shut down and left for about two hours. Trying to turn it back on, I was stuck on the HP Home screen for almost an hour. I turned off the and tried again. Sometimes I would be stuck on the startup screen, and sometimes he would show that he was about to auto repair, then the screen turns off. In addition, the recovery menu of the system through the F11 key did not work, so I did a Quick Test of system and received a short Drive DST hard failure.
  
  I plan to buy a replacement HGST 5 K 1000 1 TB hard Drive from the manufacturer; However, my warranty expired last month, and I'm not sure how to reinstall the OS (installed with Windows 8.1 then upgraded to Windows 10 factory), once the new hard drive in place.
  
  I've never done a HP system recovery Image, and I'm low on funds, so I'm not able to contact HP directly. Help, please. I am a student and I work from home, so I am at a loss without my system.

  If you want to reinstall Windows 10, then this is the part the more easy and free.  I understand, completed after the upgrade to Windows 10, then you can clean install Windows 10 site M$.

  On a work computer, go to the WINDOWS 10 DOWNLOAD, scroll down to the purple 'Download tool now 64 Bit' click that to let do its thing.  On the next screen, choose 'Create the installation media for another PC', then what kind of media you want to use DVD or USB flash.  Once created, install Windows 10 on the PC in question - when everything that fact it is activated.

• Reinstalling Windows 10 on L50 - B Satellite

  Dear friends,

  I would like to reinstall Windows on my Satellite L50 - B 10. I do not want to reinstall through Windows settings or it will restore the software useless Toshiba and demos that I spent some time to erase me. I would like to reinstall it using a flash drive and hold mode with Secure Boot UEFI enabled.

  I have a flash drive with 10 Windows that I created with a tool from Microsoft of the ISO original (obtained through Microsoft Dreamspark). My question is, can we change the order of boot through Toshiba system settings to boot from USB, wipe the HARD drive and reinstall Windows? It will start normally later?

  Thank you

  You have my sympathy. Changing the boot order is not a problem, which is easily reversible. It will start normally then is a question you can answer only after trying to install or reinstall. I had win 8.1 and tried to install win 10. After six hours, I had a computer that did not go the Toshiba logo. Fortunately, with a lot of sweat and the use of the windows recovery disk, I returned to win 8.1.

  I don't know if it was a recovery partition in the hard drive or the Microsoft cloud saved me. Make sure that you have a Microsoft ([email protected]), your password account and associate your mobile number to your account, that Microsoft can SMS allows you to check say you who you are and you say that you have a right to the operating system.

• Reinstall windows XP on A60

  Hello

  I need to reinstall windows xp on my laptop A60 (the one with the DVD writer on this subject), the recovery disk does not all drivers to this topic and does not load to the top when you put it in the drive and the Windows XP disk came with the laptop. I'm unable to close, ctrl - alt - del does not work most of the time and CPU usage history is running VERY high and erratic.

  A new photoshop CS does not or TURBO LISTER for ebay (this is what I see - sell my art of photoshop on ebay) and it also takes forever to stop, sometimes it does not allow the command ctrl - alt... does not work I have to manually shut down.

  I downloaded quarentined and ad-aware software and destroyed a lot of bugs, but I still need to reinstall windows - any ideas anyone?

  The computer has 4 months - if that helps at all.

  Thank you!! :)

  Judd (Miss)

  Hi Juddlin

  I also have professional WXP and it works correctly. Sorry, but I'm a bit confused with your ad. First of all I want to know everything was working properly when you start the laptop first time computer. I ask this question because in the beginning, the laptop is preinstalled by Toshiba.

  I do not understand when you said this doesn t recovery disc have all the drivers. As far as I know recovery disk made up of all the drivers for all the hardware components of your laptop. Just if you replace certain hardware components, it is possible that you need some updates to the driver.

  If you want to reinstall OS save your data on the second partition if you have one, or save on a medium such as DVD or CD.

• Where can I get the product key to reinstall Windows 8 on my WANT Sleekbook 6?

  Product: ENVY Sleekbook 6 (6-1110us)

  Initially, this laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8. I want to reinstall Windows 8, but a Virtual Machine, the breast so I can't use the bits of food with what he delivered. I'm under Ubuntu 12.10 as principal/host OS and will have several virtual machines of Windows running at the top of it.

  Where can I find the product key for Windows 8?

  There is no sticker on the box with a key, and I dug through all the paperwork that comes with it.

  Appears that Microsoft has changed the terms of the license with Windows 8. See the next root thread: http://superuser.com/questions/517142/running-windows-8-in-a-vm-can-i-use-the-copy-that-came-with-my-laptop

  In addition, a rather good article exceeding the various changes in the terms of the license of the new Windows 8: http://www.zdnet.com/how-the-new-windows-8-license-terms-affect-you_p2-7000003028/

  They consider now a physical PC and a virtual machine to be * separated * computers. Since the preinstalled Windows 8 use an OEM license, this license cannot be moved between the "computers".

  For anyone interested in doing something similar (mobile Windows 8 in a virtual machine), you must purchase an additional license. Upgrade license or a System Builder should work.

• Reinstalled Windows XP now WLAN is not recognized - Satellite Pro L20

  I reinstalled Windows XP on my Satellite Pro L20.

  In Device Manager, I have a number of yellow question marks, which means that the operating system has not installed the drivers and therefore does not recognize the device.

  I downloaded the v5.3.0.35 Atheros Wireless Lan Driver Atheros dated 09/12/07 and tried to install these next to the 'Network controller' device, but nothing helped.

  Someone has an idea of what I might hurt or something else I could try? Sole purpose of the laptop is wireless connectivity, so I'm anxious to get this sort.

  Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

  Hello Thomas

  It will be interesting to know what L20 you exactly (L20 - xxx). It will be easier to identify what material is built into it.

  Anyway, as far as I know this laptop comes with operating system Windows XP Home edition and will be best solution to install using the supplied OS recovery media. The OS will be installed just after 20 minutes and all the hardware components are configured correctly.

  Of course, you install OS on your own. On the download page of Toshiba just follow instructions order facilities and avoid all the problems.

  Back to the Atheros WLAN card. After you download the driver Atheros for Windows XP Home edition, open the folder INSTALL and run the setup.exe file. What happens when you do this?

• Damaged HARD disk, need to reinstall windows... but I had installed the Vista upgrade 7!

  Hello

  A few months ago, my computer (HP Pavilion a6700f) decided that he no longer wanted to live. The hard drive is corrupted and I could never get anything from him. I tried many ways, sent him, put it in another computer... it is as if there is never nothing about it initially. (Sad because I stupidly did not save my content). I have come to terms with her being gone, and I'm now looking to reinstall and start over.

  I tried to run the install disc and it won't go to the point where she wants to give me drivers... my question is, because I had updated the computer to its original operating system Vista to Windows 7 when they offered the free update, I have to reinstall windows Vista, and then upgrade again? Or it will allow me to install drivers windows 7? Also, is there somewhere where I can download the installation for my specific computer disks? I used the upgrade disk to reinstall, but he wants than signed drivers.

  I know that sounds a little crazy, but I want to fix it than to buy a new HARD drive. I have my windows for Vista key... Although I don't know if there was another key for the upgrade to Windows 7, as on the package or something... like I did that more.

  I hope this makes sense to someone! Thanks in advance!

  As you have no recovery disk, you will have to order them from service to HP customers in your country if they are still available for a nominal charge:

  If you decide to replace the hard drive, to have one that is not less than 500 GB SATA 7200 RPM like the one you have now.

• Impossible to reinstall Windows on iMac 5 k (end of 2014) w / Fusion drive

  This past weekend, I had a problem with my Windows gel partition when running games, so I decided to reinstall completely the partition from the ground up. During installation, I keep running into this caveat that I can not go beyond: "we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files. "I have made many things and suggestions to try to get installed it, but still continue to get that number. My computer is once more an iMac 5 k (end of 2014) with a merger of 3 TB drive. I had installed before, that's why I'm really irritated that I'm getting this question.

  Disconnect all the external storage and run the following two procedures.

• Reinstalled Windows XP after the installation of computer hardware, has now lost all my old icons

  I upgraded the card mother, memory and CPU.  Kept the old SATA hard drive.
  Reinstalled Windows XP.  Now, I have no icons, like a new computer.  All my programs are on the C: drive, but none of the programs appear on the start-> list all programs.
  It's like I'm a new user.
  Any ideas?  I wish I had my old office back.  At least all of my data, photos are always "there".
