Removal of Windows XP from a multiboot with Windows 7 installation

I have Windows XP to OEM on my Dell laptop. Subsequently, I installed Windows 7 Ultimate in dual-boot configuration, in a separate partition which is default OS.

With the end of support for Windows XP, I intend to delete this version of the operating system.

In MSCONFIG in Windows 7, I only see one entry: Windows 7, default OS, under the Startup tab

How to do it please.

  • When to remove the Windows 7 installation disc during installation

    Hello;

    I read the response on the withdrawal of the installation disc. "After the first restart, change the settings to boot from the hard drive.

    Exactly where the first reboot happens so I can see for this? For example. After the installation of windows files.

    After developing the windows files.

    After installing the updates. I tried 4 times with a facility clean and every time, because it is always start from the disc, windows loops in the installation all over again.

    Wait while Windows installs

    When this phase of installation is completed, Windows will restart automatically and restart in Setup again. You can unplug it at this stage.

  • I'm trying to uninstall iTunes from the PC with Windows 7, but get a message "the feature you are trying to use is on a network unavailable resource." How to get around this? (Apple don't give customer service!)

    For the third time! I'm trying to uninstall iTunes from my PC with Windows 7 Home Edition premium as the statement on Apple's site, but get a message "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." I'm then offered a chance to "try again or enter a different path to the folder that contains the package"iTunes6464.msi installation in the box below. " With my limited knowledge, I can't find such a record.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates. Start by Missing MSI errors .

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

    I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

    My victory is xp professional ver 2002 service pack 3

    It's usually easy to fix, but if you removed all the dll and inf files, you can have a bunch of other problems that you have not yet discovered.

    If you mean when you try to use Add/Remove Windows components you see a message like this:

    Install was not able to load the master file.
    The application could not be initialized.

    This happens because this file is missing:

    c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf

    There is no copy backup of this file on your system and run the System File Checker will not replace the missing file (sorry, that Microsoft committed Support Engineer 'experts').

    You will need to get a real copy of your XP bootable installation CD or from a reliable source.

    There's a copy on my SkyDrive, you can download - here's how:

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, put a copy of the file in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\Inf

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file named sysoc when the name of the file should really be called sysoc.inf (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You must then copy and paste the downloaded folder appropriate on your system.

  • How can I remove the Windows, "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer

    I use another software Photo and picture Windows and Fax Viewer interferes with my work with the other program. Therefore, I would like to remove the Windows, "Windows picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer.

    Info for WIndows XP - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    OK... but be careful... you'll lose thumbnails of photos in Windows Explorer...
    your 'My pictures' folder... for example... does not display photos.

    And... FWIW... WP & F Viewer is not a program... it's just a .dll file. Disabling
    the .dll file is basically identical to uninstall. (in this way... If you do not
    as the result... you can reactivate).

    But if "gone forever", that's what you prefer... just delete the shimgvw.dll file.

    Attention last... your thumbnails in the Explorer will be gone.

    How... Disable WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and you is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    (You should see a dialog box indicating:)
    DllUnregisterServer in successful shimgvw.dll)

    How... Reactivate the WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and space after that the i is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    You should see a dialog box stating:
    DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in successful shimgvw.dll

    To remove shimgvw.dll go to the following folder and do a right click Delete shimgvw.dll.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll

    If you can't find the path, you must go to...

  • I have a black screen when I install Windows 8 on Multiboot with Windows 7?

    Hello

    I tried, again and again, to install Windows 8 on a custom installation, so that I could Multiboot Windows 7 and 8 together.
    I already have a genuine Windows 7 Ultimate installed, and I purchased Windows 8 PRO download site Australian Microsoft windows, the operating system on my computer (using software that I installed from the windows Web site once I bought it), and burned the Windows 8 PRO ISO on a DVD.
    I did a forum on how to use disk management to create a partition for Windows 8, it's not the problem.
    Once I run the Windows 8 installation DVD in the Boot menu, I entered my product key and the installation continues its way and the computer restarts like twice, but the third restart it comes up with a black screen! I waited 15 minutes, but still nothing around. I also tried different ways to install Windows 8 on a multi boot (as I don't want to lose Windows 7 and all my files - I NEED multiboot), but she always ends up with a black screen with no end!
    Someone please help me, as now Im left without windows!
    Thank you
    -RJ

    Hey

    I found a solution for the problem of black screen!

    Thank you to all the guys who have tried to help me solve this problem. I really appreciate it!

    There seemed to be a problem with my monitor, or my graphics card drivers and windows installation 8.

    The solution has been found on the HP forums, at this link:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-display-and-video-e-g-Windows-8/Installing-Windows-8-upgrade-black-screen-after-Windows-8/TD-p/1974699

    And thanks to cSalman on this forum, he wrote:

    WINDOWS INSTALLATION PROCESS 8 EVEN AFTER THE VACUUM OF THE COMPUTER SCREEN:

    1. In MSCONFIG, uncheck "Load Startup items". Disable everything in the 'Services' tab and then restart the computer.
    2. Install windows 8. After 1 restart, the screen will become empty.
    • Connect another monitor/TV with your laptop / desktop.
    • Your windows process 8 installation display on 2nd monitor/TV, but will remain empty in the 1st monitor.
    • Complete all the installation process of windows 8.
    • Once done, change the settings of the monitor to windows. OR simply close the lid of the laptop and open back

    MY EXPERIENCE:

    • In my case, what happened, I was installing Windows 8 to my Toshiba laptop.
    • I did 2nd TV monitor and installation process begin to show in it, while the laptop screen remains black all the time.
    • After complete installation, my laptop screen stays black and would not be ' t difficulty even with the help of response from Microsoft Support.
    • So they rise to more expert and I suppose me to receive the call from them the next day.
    • Same day that I started to watch a movie with my TV monitor, then I thought allows me to close the lid of the laptop.
    • As I closed the lid of the laptop, TV erased, so I opened the lid laptop back again.
    • As I opened the rear lid, windows 8 has detected the laptop screen and started working

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

    And Voila! After disabling all services and startup items in windows 7, then using my TV as my monitor, I was able to complete the installation of Windows 8 and now I'm happy!

    Thanks again,

  • Remove objects from the AD when a virtual machine is removed from the vCenter with vCO

    All,

    I am new to vCenter Orchestrator and have bad getting started with him.  I'm trying to figure out how to automatically remove the Active Directory from the computer object when it is deleted in vCenter.  My idea is when the virtual machine is removed, it starts a workflow that deletes the object.  I don't know how to call that or if it is still possible.

    The problem I am trying to solve, is that our developers are self provisioning of servers Windows and Linux through vCAC in the realm of 50 + per day.  They also remove most of them in 5 or 6 days causing much left on objects cluttering up AD.   So I try to find a way to have the deleted object when they destroy their vCAC provisioned machines.  My original idea was to make based on the GUID and UUID but I not figure out how to actually call with vRO.  I'm open to other ideas that can adapt to this task better, no need to force this idea of the solution to the problem if someone already knows a way to do that.

    Little background information is that I'm under vCenter 5.5 Update 2, 6.1 and vCO 5.5.2 vCAC.  The objects being deleted are Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2012 R2 and CentOS 6.5 servers.

    Thank you in advance, I think that once I get more of an idea on how it works, I'll be able to deploy more ideas.

    This can be achieved by simply adding following some custom properties in your Machine Blueprint or group of companies in VCAC.

    Plugin.AdMachineCleanup.UserName-

    Plugin.AdMachineCleanup.Password-

    Plugin.AdMachineCleanup.Execute

    Plugin.AdMachineCleanup.Delete

    Otherwise, create a profile to build using above set of custom properties, this way it will be easy for you to add in several plans in your environment vCAC.

  • How to remove an application from a device with the Profile Manager?

    I use iOS devices 9.1 in collaboration with Apple Configurator 2.1 and 5.0.15 Profile Manager. Configurator locks iPads and the Profile Manager is used for the distribution of applications. We are assigning apps in device that is a great feature. However, when I delete an application from a device with the Profile Manager, the application does not remove himself. The Profile Manager back the license and I can redistribute app for iPad one another even if the application is still installed and usable on the iPad first.

    Is this a bug? It seems that it should remove the app. If I delete the management profile in distance from the unit, it removes apps.

    Click on the gear box and then delete Apps and select the application you want to remove.

    Initially, I did what you did probably has been to select the name of the application, then press the 'less', who pulled out of the app in the list, but it has not removed the iPad, he just removed their license.  Through the gearbox and to remove it it removes of the iPad.

    You may have already thought of it, but I found this post unanswered after two months, and once I found the answer, I thought I'd put it here.

  • I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine. The activation process for Windows XP SP3 failed.

    I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine.  The activation process failed.  How can I get the operating system XP Professional sp3 reactive?  I have the code original and other info.

    original title: Moving the death machine drive

    Hello CarrolScott,

    The activation problem arose because the hardware on your current computer does not match that of the hardware on the machine whose mother is dead.

    The best option for the reactivation is to use the telephone line. This, unfortunately, is automated and may refuse to turn on your system; However, don't despair just rest on the line after the automated atcivation crossed its procedure and you will be transferred to a real person. Tell this person you've done, and it should be able to help activate.
