• New installation of XP PRO sp3 does not recognize the 500 GB HD

  OK, here are the details:

  System: Computer PORTABLE of Acer Aspire 1700 Pent4, 2 GB of RAM, 80GB (3.5 "full-size, trainee) IDE HD [this is the original HD on this laptop of size important which is designed to use disks 3.5" hard].

  Initial situation: Windows XP Pro (SP3 integrated) installed on HDD of 80 GB and works without poblems. BIOS does NOT show the ability of the intern HD in the BIOS screen. BIOS reports only the model and the serial number of the HD, and there is no options to specify the HD type/format (e.g., MLA, etc.)

  Available: Win XP Pro bootable CD slipstreamed with SP3; It is tested and verified work well to install PC or laptop!

  When running XP Pro on a partition internal 80 GB HD, and when I join a brand new WD 500 GB IDE HD via USB, HD is recognized correctly. I can partition and copy data on the HD 500 GB with no problems!

  When I replaced the old 80 GB HD with the new HD 500 GB HD interning on the laptop, I have the following problems:

  1. I can NOT boot into Windows XP Pro (SP3) which was Ghost on the HD 500 GB of the old 80 GB portable HD it recharges, and if I try the console recovery or secure boot, then the laptop restarts also.
  1B. I have Ghost xp partition to 80 GB HD to a piece of spare HD (40 GB) and replaced the 80 GB with the 40 GB HD and was able to start the laptop without problem. So the problem is NOT related ghost!

  2. I can't perform a clean install of Windows XP Pro (SP3 integrated) because Windows XP Setup recognizes the HD 500 GB GB 131 HD. Therefore, the remaining capacity is not recognized.

  3. I can NOT perform the installation of Windows XP pro (SP3 integrated), even if I have previously partition new HD 500 GB by attaching it to a free desktop PC and use Partition Magic, partitioner of Paragon Disk or other partitioning tools. After partitioning prior, when the 500 GB HD is installed on the laptop (as a trainee HD), then win xp installation lists quality HD of GB 131 and lists the existing partitions as corrupt!

  4. Curiously, if I use Knoppix, Debian, Ubuntu or linux boot CD Mint and start the laptop computer with one of these linux distributions, then the linux installer recognize the HD properly during the phase of recognition of material and later during the phase partitioning HD, the linux system to report a full capacity of 500 GB available for partitioning. In addition, when there are partitions, partitioning linux program then lists these partitions properly as well!

  Considering the 4 points and especially MS Windows XP PRO (integrated with SP3, which should recognize HD with sizes exceeding 137 GB limit - from MS says you must be at least XP SP1 to overcome the size 137 GB limit - and that the different distributions of linux can see the full-size HD 500 GB with no problems) which is exactly the problem with Win XP? Why it does not recognize the full capacity? And how to win xp recognizes a 500 GB capacity, if the new HD is attached to the laptop via USB as an external drive when running XP PRO (SP3) of the 80 GB internal HD?

  so... Can anyone sheds light on the issue with Win XP Pro installation on HD 500 GB IDE?

  Nicely,

  Hi Palcouk and Doc,

  I think that's the final answer!

  Although, there is a mixture of simple to complex responses to the problem at hand, what it all comes down is that there is a significant difference between the installation of Windows XP and Linux installer program. The XP installation program needs help from the BIOS to deal with HD, and if the BIOS does not support, XP not has no facility to remedy the situation. OTOH, most of Linux new kernels rely on the BIOS for a limited number of extended, but communicate directly with the hardware, in this case, with the HD and therefore manages the material accordingly.

  It seems among users of dual-booting (win/linux) using old PCs, it is a matter of very pretty. What they end up doing is using the first 137 GB that is seen by the BIOS without problem for XP (either as a single partition or divided into several partitions), and the rest of the space is used for Linux because linux has no problem.

  I guess that it really nails the problem with my laptop to a BIOS NON-lba-48-bit!

  Then close this thread as answered or matter who has more to say about this?

  P.S.: It was very nice meeting you fellows and appreciate all the help and tech expertise.

• How to find and remove unused files in first Pro CC

  I'm using the first Pro CC (mac) version. I have a project where I need to clear out unused files to make room.

  In the documentation, I often see references to Project menu header but I don't have it.

  Similarly, in the project window, I don't see for video or audio usage columns that are shown.

  Any suggestions (I feel that I have forgotten something obvious)? Thank you.

  If you use first Pro CC (7.0), and then the option to remove unused is under the Edit menu. In the project Panel, if you are in the display of the icon, then files will show the icon of video and/or audio, storm in the thumbnail of the file. If you have preview enabled (in the menu on the right wing) area and select a file, then it will also list how many times the file is used.

  I used a copy of XP Pro I have to format the hard drive in 2 logical drives here but he installed XP Pro as well.  It is not allowed for this machine.  I thought I would install XP Home Edition from the recovery disk and it would be more to write XP Pro, but it didn't.

  Now I have a dual boot with XP Pro and XP Home, I want to keep I want to delete.  It appears after the MESSAGE that there is an option for home or similar to a GRUB menu Pro.

  Hey guys - need help

  I have a 2015 Mac Book Pro that I have a dual boot with Windows 10 of setting, everything went well, but I found that I had lost the ability to open any program in Windows, installation of 'apps' thedesktop went, Edge Windows, search etc had disappeared off the coast of the taskbar.

  But now, I find that I can not boot into the side MAC from my laptop, if I go into my PC the "Bootcamp" of my SSD drive partition is there but no side of MAC.

• Problems with the installation of Win 7 on a dual boot Win 8 computer

  I recently bought a new all-in-one computer with an operating system of Windows 8.  However, I have a program that should be used on a daily basis for which a version of Win 8 is not yet available.  I bought a copy of WIn7 and partitioned the terabyte of hard drive with the intention of installing Win 7 in the new partition and the dual boot of the computer.  However, when I try to install Win 7 from the installation disc, it error with an error message that says in order to restart the installation.  No matter how many times I reboot, the error message occurs at the same point - a few seconds after the message appears saying that the temporary files are copied.  What is the problem?

  Of new computer models that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no support for Windows 7 and there is no native driver Windows 7.

  In addition, when you install older versions in a dual-boot configuration, you must install the older version of Windows (Windows 7), then first 8 windows.

  I recommend to install your Windows 7 in a virtual machine program and use the program here:

  You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

  https://www.VirtualBox.org/wiki/downloads

  VMware Player;

  http://downloads.VMware.com/d/details/player_401/dGpkYnRwd3didGRwQA==

  Or you can upgrade to Windows 8 Pro and turn on the built in Hyper-V that you can use to run Windows 7.

• XP Pro\XP Setup dual boot - want to remove the configuration option and go straight to the Pro

  Used my laptop (Fujitsu Simens Amilo Pi 1505/XP Pro) to install XP Home on a USB connected the SATA drive.
  SFSG.
  Now, my laptop keeps asking me if I want to boot into either Pro or Setup, with the installer has highlighted.

  Q. How can I remove the Configuration option and leave Pro as default boot?

  Thanks in advance.

  Open your boot.ini file (root partition C :), you should see something like the following:)

  [boot loader]
  timeout = 30
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Windows XP "/ fastdetect
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Setup "/ fastdetect

  Remove the entry (the entire line) that has the word "Setup" in it, then you now have the following text:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 0
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Windowq XP "/ fastdetect

  -Alternative-

  Start/Run/msconfig (this open the System Configuration utility.
  Select the BOOT. INI tab
  Click on the button "check all boot paths".

  If Msconfig detects a path not valid (you have stated that you have two)
  you will be asked to remove the invalid path.

• Satellite C660-1TN. Win XP Pro SP3. GF 315 M graphics driver

  Laptop Satellite C660-1TN. In accordance with company standards, it is necessary to work in Windows XP Pro SP3. The NVIDIA® GeForce® 315M video card driver is not established. Thank you

  Your business standards are quite old. It should be time for a corporate update to the new standards. ;)

  Anyway, new models of laptops are not supported for older operating systems, and new models of laptops are designed for the new operating system. New laptop models have newer material designed also for newer operating system.

  Problem is not Toshiba or support for Windows XP Home edition. As far as I know even Microsoft doesn't support WXP more.

  Check if NVIDIA supports Windows XP Home for GeForce 315 M.

• Installation to Pre-service Pack version of win xp on the hard drives of high capacity

  Hello! I have a version of win xp professional - it's the version before he had services packs! I want to install a new HD 1 TB as disk 0 and want to put my xp pro on it, however, the large capacity disks (more than 137MB if memory serves) are not supported by versions of xp before service pack 2. How can I format my new HD and install xp pro and still have the capacity to 1 TB? The HD I replace a service pack 3 on it. Is it possible that I can transfer the pro/sp3 of xp on the new HD or is there some files that I can wear over my installation of xp pro/sp3? Thanks for your help!

• Dual boot Win 7 64 bit and XP Pro 32-bit (win7 installed first)

  How can I set up: dual boot Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and Windows XP Pro 32-bit (Windows 7 installed first)? I have Win7 on a 2 terabyte HARD drive, with another 1 terabytle internal HARD disk and two 1 terabyte external hard drives. I have an Intel Core i7 960 @ 3.20 GHz, 20 GB of RAM. I want to keep Win7 on 2 TB drive and add WinXP on the other 1 TB internal drivw in a configuration dual-boot. The other two drives 1 TB external would be used for backups and data. I would like to be able to boot XP because I have many applications running on XP wothout having compatibility problems.  The two Win 7 and XP are complete versoins. Or that I would be better to try a virtual configuration?

  Are you aware that you can install the free XP mode on your Windows 7 system?  Once installed, you can launch in 15 to 30 seconds as a task under Windows 7 and run your XP applications without having to reboot.  It works fine as long as you can live with the graphics.  The graphics of XP Mode are great for business applications.  This would be my first choice.

  You will probably get the positions, which suggests a way to install XP and then download a program or two and patch in some places.  But for me it's much simpler to just create a small partition of 30 GB and make a 30-minute "quick and dirty" installation of a second absolutely minimal copy Windows 7 in there.  This will get all start after installing XP, if you decide to go this route.  It's not like intelectually sophisticated as more involved patchwork approach, but it is faster and easier.  As my professor of chemistry at first year said "anyone can make things complicated; He needs to make things simple.  I think the professor was very clever!

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• Last download of Norton Security seen cloud 9 virus issue after downloading Firefox opens not said 'cannot find runtime", removed and reinstall XP Pro SP3 work

  Running Firefox 36.0.1 an update has been downloaded on 3.19.2015.
  Norton said that this is a problem of cloud 9. Subsequently tried to open Firefox,
  but instead of opening, I received an error "can't find execution". "."
  Deleted Firefox of installed programs, news and everything works great.
  2 days later received an update downloaded and exactly the same thing happened.
  After removed again, installed new with 36.0.3 and everything works fine again.
  I use Win XP Pro SP3

  It's a problem with Norton and not the Firefox browser with Norton of Suspicious.Cloud claim

  She did this false positive Suspicious.Cloud with SeaMonkey for years every so often releases SM and Norton did not bother to fix it. Norton antivirus would claim a virus found in file freebl3.dll only there is not and never has been.

  You have to be such a regular occurrence that they still singling out Norton in the known issues for SeaMonkey version notes for a few years as can be seen in http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.33/#issues and appears until Norton finally fix it.

  Messages on the claim of Suspicious.cloud with Firefox here (and mozillaZine) were infrequent compared to SeaMonkey.

• Xp pro sp3 updated drivers

  My OS is Windows XP Pro SP3 and when I bought my computer in 2004 he had these drivers for xp pro. I want to know if I can update the drivers to the latest versions for XP Pro SP3?

  IMO updates driver update should not be attempted unless you have a specific problem that you know or suspect will be fixed by a driver update, i.e. follow the maxim "don't"fix"something that is not broken".

  What makes you want to update the drivers?
