  original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM

  If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:

  1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.

  2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.

  3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

• Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP? I have

  I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer.  All new computers come with Windows 7.  Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)?   I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back.  AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it.  I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years.   I would like to use XP on a new computer!   I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer.  Thank you very much!

  Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.

  If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.

  Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.

• Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001) - remove Vista and install Windows XP

  I'm waiting for delivery of a L300. I also bought XP I want to install XP as soon as I get the L300. The laptop comes with Vista installed which I never liked.

  I intended to create a Vista recovery disc just to make sure before you start the conversion.
  I was going to do the installation of XP reformat the disk and partition of the HD.
  I was also going to download all of the drivers XP for my model on the Toshiba site, the installation then the XP installation had finished.

  Is there anything I should be aware of, or have missed?

  Hello!

  I think you are right but before doing something I will give you a few words of advice:

  Before you do something on your laptop or begin to install Windows XP, you must create the Toshiba in Windows Vista recovery disk. I know that you n t like Vista but with these discs every time you can restore your laptop factory settings. Independent that you have installed on your laptop. You must start only to drive recovery and follow the instructions on the screen. The factory settings will be restored in a few minutes and you should not install additional drivers. The disc already contains all the drivers and tools of Toshiba and so you can save a lot of time! Also if you have problems with your laptop you can test with the settings to determine if it s a software or hardware problem. As you can see it of very useful and easy the recovery disc.

  According to installing XP you need a disc of Microsoft. You must format the HARD drive and you can then create the partitions you want. In your case, I'd a partition for the system and one for your data. The point is that if you need to reinstall Windows XP at a certain point you should not back up the data first because they are already stored on the second partition and to reinstall Windows XP, you need to format only the first partition. Of course, you can do what you want, but then I install Windows on my notebooks.

  Finally and above all drivers that you find on the Australian site of Toshiba, that of right. I think that it shouldn't be a problem to install it so just download all the and the tools of Toshiba. After that, the XP installation is complete and you can do what you want.
  In addition, if you have installed all the drivers and tools for XP you can make an image of your installation. For example with Acronis True Image. Therefore, you can restore your installation of XP every time and I think it can help you save time. I have good experiences with Acronis and I do a picture of my too custom installations.

  I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any other questions, please let us know.
  Have fun with your new notebook from Toshiba! :)

  Good bye

• want to remove vista and install Windows xp

  I want to remove Vista and reinstall XP. My machine came loaded with vista. If I install XP need me drivers XP for my machine is a Lenovo IdeaCentre K210.

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Then buy a disc XP and license.

  Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

  Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

• How can I remove Linux and install Windows XP?

  XP installation

  How can I install xp on my laptop with xp disc? I gave her family having installed Melissa on it and came back and need xp back on it. I have the key for xp of origin. I prefer not to pay for it again. Thank you.

  It is possible that the recovery partition "can" still be fuctional if Linux has not deleted it. Check the manual of the owner on how to start and start (press key during the initial boot process) the process of recovery. If this does not work then contact the manufacturing of the laptop and see if they can still provide you with recovery media.

  Hello

  You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

  Read about Defender:

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

  .

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

  Enable or disable the Windows Defender

  Many anti-virus have conflict Defender (McAfee, AVG, etc.), and turn it out / conflict with it.

  Microsoft Security Essentials, it turns off because it has its own version.

• 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.
