• Operating repair of windows CD installation problem - win 2 k 3 Dell poweredge servers

  I saved a Windows 2003 standard server (C drive and the system state) using windows backup and restored to a freshly installed Windows 2003 standard Server - effectively cloning the server installed.  (that is to say, boot from the installation CD, select install windows, press F8, select detected installed OS and press 'R' to repair)

  When I do this, after he copied the files on the hard drive and it recharges, it hangs shortly after starting windows screen.  It seems that whenever that happens, I have to run Windows 2003 a second time (I choose ultimately "press ENTER to retry the upgrade,") before he's going to fix the system successfully enough that I can then apply SP2 and all subsequent WinUpdates.

  What is different about the second compared to the first repair attempt?

  Is it possible to tell the system to start with so I know I need to do?

  Hey Joe,

  Your question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Server on TechNet forum. Please ask your question in the TechNet Windows Server général forum.

• Replace windows 2000 Pro with Win XP Pro SP2

  What could be the best way to go about changing of OS witout losing Dat and the files on the PC. Would appreciate all comments and helwith the new facility.

  Thanks adavance

  Start the computer to the Windows 2000 Professional operating system. Insert the CD in the DVD in the usual way. Run the Setup program. Select the upgrade installation. Follow the prompts. Everything should be OK with your user files and applications still in place.

  Should be. No guarantee.

  Best to make sure you have backups of all your files of the user, including electronic stores you want. Also. Make sure that you have a way to reinstall your programs. If you need print creitical. Make sure you check the availability of the XP drivers for your printers. Remove the Windows 2000 drivers before the update and install XP drivers after. Even if the printer uses the same driver for 2000 and XP, I would like to remove it before upgrading. Less liklihood of problems.

• windows xp OEM on new HARD drive transfer

  I have Windows XP OEM with key number, but no original record has been received. How can I transfer OS to a new larger HARD drive?

  Thanks for assstance.

  Many hard drive manufacturers provide an application of free software to do this.  Visit the web site of the manufacturer of the new hard drive and maybe you'll find a.  For example, Western Digital offers their free Acronis True Image WD Edition software for use with their hard drives Western Digital. Seagate offers their free Seagate DiscWizard for use with Seagate hard drives.

• Windows 7 OEM license, cloned the new hard drive.

  I'm scratching my head on this one.

  I'm running Windows 7 Pro with an OEM license.

  Beyond December, my original hard drive started failing so I made a clone of Clonezilla and transferred to a new hard drive.  Since then, I have not been able to run Windows update and I regularly get a Windows is not real popup.  I checked the section properties and my computer Windows Activation of Windows is enabled.  I tried the site of verification but that sends me to a web page that does not seem to load correctly and 9/10 times.  When I managed to load and I downloaded the WindowsActivationUpdate tool, it gives me just a Setup 0xC8000247 error.  I tried returning my SLUI 3 product key and everything went through fine.  I checked various websites and people say that it must be good using a new hard drive, others say you can't and others are calling saying Microsoft and speak to someone.

  Can I use my OEM license when transferring to a new hard drive?  Answer, what would be the next step?

  Yes, you can use the same OEM license, because it's the same computer.

  What you need to do is probably performing a new installation. Clone software tends not to provide the best results.

  The old hard drive still works? You might try one last time to create a system image and restore it on the new hard drive:

  How to pass Windows 7 to a bigger hard drive - books...

  This of course would mean reinstall the old hard drive, create a system image and then restore it on the hard drive.

  Another option is to perform a new installation using the OEM key.

  Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

• What is the difference between Windows 7 OEM and the retail version of Windows 7?

  Can someone tell me, what is the difference between windows 7 OEM and sales vs retail?

  Can someone tell me, what is the difference between windows 7 OEM and sales vs retail?

  There is no difference in the product itself.

  Although if you get a generic OEM full version, it contains the
  even software, it has the following disadvantages compared to the
  commercial version:

  1. the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is
  that its license it permanently binds to the first computer, it is
  installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold,
  or given (except with the original computer). If the computer
  dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

  2. he can't do a clean install, not an upgrade.

  3 Microsoft offers no support for OEM versions. You cannot call their
  with a problem, but rather to secure the necessary support of your
  OEM; who take in charge may go anywhere between property and non-existent. Or
  You can get support elsewhere, like in these forums.

• Windows 7 OEM installation does not work immediately

  Hello

  I tried to install Windows 7 x 64 Premium on a new computer, but I still get this error: "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing".

  I tried two Windows 7 different DVDs, including a new copy from NewEgg, and two of them have started successfully on the drive, so I really don't see what the problem is? I used two readers different external DVD, but what specific drivers for each drive could Windows even need? DVD players must be sufficiently interchangeable to avoid this problem.

  I found this article on the basis of knowledge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2755139, but after using two different DVDs, both manufacturers, none of this applies really, unless they have both missed the combustion.

  Means that the probable error, the installation media is corrupt. You can download and create a new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, and then try again.

• Re-installing Windows XP (OEM - purchased version of njewspaper ad without mentioning it was OEM only) after the installation of the pirate Win Xp (full version). Can I retrieve pirate settings to not reinstall aps (have about 100). __

  Hello
  I'm trying to reinstall Windows XP (OEM - purchased version advertises in newspapers not to mention it was OEM only) after the installation of the pirate Win Xp (full version). Can I retrieve pirate settings to not reinstall aps (have about 100).
  (I guess I have to change registry to eventually replace OEM version with pirate version - it still would make it impossible to activate the automatic updates). Or I can just reinstall registry then replace edition OEM version? (Would still allow the applications to be installed without the re - install?) (A major pain).

• HP laptop purchased with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7 - laptop damaged

  Hello

  I bought a laptop HP with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7. Now, the laptop is damaged for the 2nd time. I would go for a locally assembled desktop computer with Intel, last configuration chipset.

  Can I use Win Vista / Win 7 license key on my desktop? What installer I use (Win Vista or Win 7)? and how do I get the installer?

  Thanks in advance

  Best regards

  PAL

  Hello

  You cannot transfer the license of Vista.

  If Windows 7 Upgrade was not part of this upgrade offering free back then, you can transfer, but you need an operating system to be installed to upgrade.

  Read this information and you will understand what I mean:

  If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

• I always have an Aspire One D250 series laptop with Win XP. All updated to windows 7?

  You can create a USB bootable for a downloadable iso file from Microsoft Setup disk. However, you will probably be satisfied with performance of slow your system on Win7 or Win10.
