Reformatting my HDD with my versions of OEM XP PRO & Office

I have Windows XP PRO and Office OEM versions and I need to reformat my hard drive, I'm not changing all the components of my computer, will it get new product keys.

As long as these OEM versions will be accommodated with the same PC, you can use them as many times as you want. And you must use the same product keys, too, since it is the same product.

  • Replace the HDD with SSD boot disk and use the disk HARD now as secondary storage

    I would like to replace my dv7 - 6143cl HDD with a SSD boot drive and using the OEM HARD drive as secondary storage.

    I have the SSD and the caddy

    I need to:

    delete the original OEM HD

    Install the SSD

    install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

    Install Win 7 (I don't have install disks - what is on the HARD drive in his backup partition)

    or I have to

    delete this HD

    Install the SSD

    go into the BIOS, and then assign him drive in AHCI (etc.)

    Install Win 7

    install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

    etc.

    I want to dual-boot, if possible, but I think that the second HD (start-up disk) does not start, even if I change the settings in the BIOS

    is this true?

    Pavilion dv7 - 6143cl

    Win7 (64)

    Thank you very much

    Hello:

    Your BIOS is set to AHCI (or RAID) by default. It cannot be changed.  Look in your device manager and in the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section, look to see if there is a controller SATA ACHI he.

    If so, you have an AHCI BIOS default.

    If you go further down the line in Device Manager and see a section of storage controllers, click on that, you would see a SATA RAID controller and your BIOS is set to default RAID.

    I don't have your model laptop so I don't know if HP has implemented some models double disk RAID or AHCI.

    So... First, copy your original C:\ drive SWSetup folder and save that to a portable hard drive. That must contain all the files installation for the drivers and the software provided with your PC. You can search this folder for programs that you may want to reinstall after your new SSD drive HARD primary.

    To install W7 on your SSD, check your own install of W7 disc.  Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • How to upgrade the already encrypted files on the USB HDD with new XP Recovery certificate

    I backed up the files encrypted in My Documents on a USB drive on which these files are also encrypted state. My computer crashed so I reinstalled the operating system. I wanted to send records encrypted USB HD to my computer or tried to copy projecteurDu and paste them into My Documents. I could not do this because I got "an error occurred in the application...". access privilegesDo i., access is denied. "I created a new recovery certificate and put in place a recovery agent. From there how I update the previously encrypted files on th USB HDD with the new recovery certificate? I'd appreciate a step by step procedure. Can I select the USB drive in the command line and run cipher/u on this drive or make the command/u of encryption on the computer without connecting to the USB HDD

    Sorry to say that my bet is that you never gain access to these files again.

    When you created the files encrypted, Windows creates a key for decryption to access these files and stored, encrypted in your certificate store.  When your system crashed, the decryption key has crashed with it.  Without this key, you will never have access to your encrypted files.  If you have recovered from a backup image-style, you should be able to access these files.  If you've recovered by installing Windows from the installation disc, then you have created a new and different installation with different Secure ID (SID) and a certificate store empty.  A recovery agent will only retrieve encrypted files that were created after that recovery agent was in place - as a new certificate.  What you really need to do, it's your old certificate to restore the backup that you created when you started using EFS.  The following article is mandatory for anyone using the EFS file system.  Special attention to the paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

    "Best Practices for encrypting file system"
     <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316 >

    If you do not have a return to the top of your certificate, then things look dark.  There is a program called "AEFSDR' whose 'professional' version comes through what has not been overwritten on your hard drive in search of remains of certificates that could be delivered together to recover.

    Good luck

  • Can I install Windows vista 64-bit for free if I have the 32-bit version preinstalled (OEM)?

    I have Windows Vista 32 bit pre-installed on my computer and now I'm ready to add more memory to my machine.

    I've already paid for Windows Vista, when I bought my Dell computer a few years (I "réinstallation DVD Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit").

    I guess I can legally get and install the 64 bit version of the same operating system (I mean for free, of course)?   I don't want to pay for Windows 7.

    Whether or not it is an option would be between you and Dell.  Copies of the retail Windows come with two discs, but OEM copies that are sold with computers come with one or the other, the one that you ordered when you ordered the computer.  If Dell doesn't want to or can't provide you with a copy, then no one else is able to.

    Two points:

    1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
    you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

    2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
    motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
    disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
    the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
    If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
    legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
    the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
    license dies with him.

  • Problem with iPhone and iPad ios10 connect with iTunes version 12.2.2

    Yesterday, I upgraded my iPhone and iPad to ios10 successfully. However, when I try to connect to my Macbook OSX version 10.7.5 running with iTunes version 12.2.2.25 it gave me this error "iTunes could not connect to the iPad because an invalid response was received from the device." I got the same error when I connect my iPhone as well.

    Now I can't restore my iPad or iPhone in low-grade IOS because iTunes can not see my devices.

    Someone at - it this experience after upgrade to ios10?

    Hi Had3s,

    I understand that after updating to iOS 10, your MacBook is more recognized in iTunes. I know it's important to be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes, so I'm happy to help you.

    Read this article that covers some common troubleshooting for this issue:
    If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone, iPad or iPod - Apple Support

    Note that the likely cause here is an older version of iTunes. Since iOS 10 is still new, it is important to have the latest version of iTunes installed. Currently, it is 12.5.1, that requires OS X 10.9.5 or later version must be installed:
    iTunes - download iTunes - Apple

    Since you currently have OS X installed 10.7.5, you'll want to update to OS X as well. You can see more info on how to upgrade to the latest version of Mac OS X here:
    Update of OS X El Capitan - Apple Support

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!

  • CCleaner shows a plugin in firefox without the name of the program or the Publisher and with a version number of '0', and it can be disabled or deleted.

    CCleaner shows a plugin in Firefox without the name of the program or the Publisher and with a version number of '0', and it can be disabled or deleted. It is a plugin for Firefox by default, and if so, what do I do? It does not appear in my list of Firefox addons in Firefox and a malware scan does not detect.

    It is possible that the profile has become corrupted, and you can try to start a new profile.

  • My old themes do not work with this version of FF.

    On the latest upgrades FF bit the themes available considerably decreased and now the majority of my registered themes said "not compatible with this version of FF. Whyzat?

    You are using a beta version and not the current stable version.
    Beta version using decreases your chances of having complete (full) themes compatible because the next version can use toolbar buttons that have not been used in the current version and a theme must include the icons of all the toolbar buttons to work properly and be compatible.

  • How can I update with a version without losing any data?

    I have a ZTE open regularly update with custom versions. Whenever I do this, I lose all my data on the phone, like contacts, applications installed in the store of market parameters (including wireless and send the parameters).

    All these data and recovery each time settings is extremely annoying. Is there a way to not lose in the process or to save them and repristining them later?

    Hi Enrico,.

    I know that for import/export of contacts, you can use the following commands:

    • to export contacts (excerpt):
    adb pull /data/local/indexedDB/chrome db
    

    This will store all the data of your device in a folder (in this case, called db) that is created when you opened your shell.

    • to restore (push) back of the unit:
    adb push db /data/local/indexedDB/chrome
    

    Following Github repository offers other tools and scripts for flashing, restore and backup of Gaia:

    I just tried to backup/restore a few times in the past, but it did not work as expected. Feel free to test them with caution. =)

  • How can I configure Thunderbird to open with the last box to the letters that I used as it did with earlier versions?

    I use OS 10.9.2 on a Macbook Pro with Thunderbird 24.4.0. Unfortunately, it opens with "Local folder" and I can't change that. My previous Thunderbird version 3.1.20 would always open to the last mailbox I was using.

    I transferred my old computer profile and everything seems to work very well

    I set the preferences in the same way that I did it with the version 3.2.10, but no matter what I do, it always ends up opening to local folders.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

  • How to return to the previous version? A new is not compatible with my version of OSX.

    I'm running 10.4.11 and had 3.6.something of Firefox. I installed the update of Firefox, assuming that, if it was not compatible with my version of OSX, it wouldn't install. First, huge mistake. I need to go back to my previous version. I have no system resources to upgrade the version of the OS.

    Just choose your language like for example if you want the English of the United States, see

    http://download.CDN.Mozilla.NET/pub/mozilla.org/Firefox/releases/3.6.28/Mac/en-us/Firefox%203.6.28.dmg

    If you meet the requirements of equipment in addition to an Intel processor, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6.x

  • Firefox worked, today has not started with the error the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are using.

    Computer is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Firefox has work fine for over a year on this computer. Nothing has been changed or updated updated except Windows update indicates that it installed updates on August 19. I had computer week before because only out of town, back entrance and began August 18, but Firefox has worked that day. Does not use FF again until today. Today August 22, firefox does not start, shortcut icon changed program not there. Exe in the folder when you click Poster error message says the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows, I am running. Exe of Firefox shows created on 20 August. I suspect the update, Windows or FF but lean towards windows, which was spent, who broke things. I noticed that IE 10 updates, updates of .NET framework and the malicious software removal tool have been installed. I tried to restart the computer, has not set. Tried to run as administrator, did not work. I don't want to uninstall FF, at least have to because of all the things I have here, bookmarks, last past passwords, etc..

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files (not the profile folder, where the bookmarks are stored) and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.
