• XP Pro - unable to detect the hard drive during the upgrade

  Hello

  I was trying to add a second IDE hard drive to my PC, after the installation of the system tells me not hard are detected. Press FI to try again. F2 to set up. I did both, but the drive still not detected and the system could not start.

  I try to install back my original drive (a drive), but the problem persists.

  Can I know how to fix this?

  It can because of the IDE Hard Drive cable?

  Thank you

  It is not at all what you did (for example, why do you of the re - install your original disc).  However, if what you were doing was to connect the new drive to the middle connector on the cable and then disconnect it, maybe all what you did was disconnect the cable at the end of the motherboard.

  Yes, your problem may be a faulty IDE cable... but that seems unlikely given that it worked before... unless you damaged the cable while you were trying to connect the second drive.

  Look carefully at the end of the motherboard of the cable and make sure it is properly connected, do not offset by a PIN or two and - if you had unplugged, that you do not bend the pins when you reconnect it.

  Hi tomgold,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  This can also occur if an incorrect device driver has been installed for the DVD-ROM device.

  I suggest that you visit the DVD drive manufacturer site download the latest drivers for the drive and install on the computer and if it works. Make sure you download the Windows vista 64-bit driver.

• Error: The installer cannot set Windows XP required configuration information during the upgrade to Windows XP Home SP3 of Windows XP Pro.

  Original title: OEM Windows XP Home SP3 update XP Pro

  Here is a compilation of the messages from another forum regarding
  My problem:
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  I'm trying to upgrade a Windows XP Home Sp3 OEM system to
  Windows XP Pro. (There are a few Pro features
  that are not available in the House I now need: (1) the files offline and
  (2) an add-on available for free to Onenote 2007, Top2onenote, requires a Pro).
  I don't want a clean install, but an upgrade. I bought a Windows XP Pro
  Upgrade CD on Ebay that was Windows XP Pro
  Gold (v2002). I'm sure that's true for the following reasons:

  It has been listed as an upgrade, but the CD is not labeled "Upgrade".
  It seems very authentic with all Microsoft holography.
  He came in the standard package of Windows XP (without box),
  and it was sealed.
  The name of volume for the CD is WXPFPP_EN. The Internet,.
  It is the retail of Windows XP Pro RTM (gold)!

  Here are things I tried initially.

  (1) I tried to upgrade to Pro from the purchased CD. It is immediately
  has refused to upgrade indicating the upgrade OS (Pro) is older than the
  installed OS (home)...

  (2) I read about "slipstreaming". "Slipstreaming" allows to integrate
  a service pack with an earlier version of the operating system. I created a
  upgrade XP Pro SP3 with Nlite slipstreamed CD image (and
  Autostreamer later, but it made no difference) from the purchased CD
  and a file containing SP3.

  After you burn the CD and start the upgrade
  (Windows installation), the upgrade process
  product through "information collection."
  "Dynamic update" and "Preparation of Installation" with
  no problems. My computer restarted and returned to
  "Installation preparation". A progress bar called 'Progress '.
  quickly filled to about 90% and the hanging system
  at that time there for about 15 minutes.
  Then, I got the following error message:

  Setup cannot set the required Windows XP configuration
  information. This indicates an internal Setup error.

  This is where I am stuck. I had to leave the installation at this point.
  My drive is starts raining and I had to restore a backup.

  (3) just for the heck of it, I formatted my hard drive and
  reinstalled my original OEM XP Home SP3 OS (no clean up, no user file).
  I immediately used my XP CD slipstreamed Pro to try one
  upgrade to XP Pro and IT WORKED! I need to find out why the
  properly clean XP Home OS upgraded to XP Pro but my pre-existing
  (with the files users, drivers, etc..) XP Home OS does not level
  successfully to XP Pro.
  -------------------------------------------------------------

  Another post:

  Yet once, today, I installed a new copy of OEM Windows XP Home Sp3.
  I continue with installation of all the essential and the add-on
  pilots (essentially all my original version). Then, I
  set up a network connection and firewall. With this configuration,.
  I ran the Pro XP slipstreamed SP3 CD. The upgrade to XP Pro
  success (even if the upgrade not configured my graphics
  card properly). I guess my current problem is either the registry,
  the WINDOWS, some user file or parameter file.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  Another post:

  I made a file and the backup of the folder C:\Windows folder
  on my system that is pre-existing (OEM XP Home Sp3). I also did a
  separate the backup the State of the 'system' on my pre-existing system.
  These are added my full image backup of her pre-existing
  system a month ago.

  I did a backup image of my system (minimum fees OEM XP Home
  SP3 with all the original installed drivers over a network configured
  connection and a firewall configured). This system will upgrade
  XP Pro with XP Pro SP3 slipstreamed CD successfully.

  Experiment 1:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the C:/Windows folder
  and the State of the pre-existing system backup system. A startup
  has managed (with a minor irritant). I had to activate Windows.
  Then, I tried upgrading the slipstreamed XP Pro processor. He stopped
  at the same place during the upgrade and gave the same error as before:

  Setup cannot set the required configuration information Windows XP.
  This indicates an internal Setup error.

  Experiment 2:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the system state only
  the backup of the pre-existing system. After startup I was asked to
  activate Windows, but answer Yes to the question would be to disconnect me
  the system. I couldn't get connected to try the XP Pro upgrade.

  Experience 3:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored only the C:/Windows
  the backup of the pre-existing system folder. Once again, as in experiment 1,
  the upgrade failed at the same place with the same error message.

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

  Before the experiment 3, I hoped that 3 experience would succeed so I
  could conclude that I had a registry problem. I'm not sure now.
  I don't know what to try next. Take the minimum system and reinstalling
  my files of the user is not an option that my hard drive has over 200 GB of
  programs! If I restore all files and folders of my pre-existing
  I would still have backup to restore a system state the reliable (read the registry).
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  Sorry for the length! If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate your responses.

  Thank you

• Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the origianl certificate?

  Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the original of the certificate?

  I had photos/files stored on an external drive and have been encrypted with EFS in XP. The main drive crashed, all keys have been lost. Got a new main drive, installed the new OS and now can't access encrypted files.

  Unless you can retrieve parts of your old drive or have a backup of your encryption certificate, you have probably lost all of your encrypted data.  Recovery agents work only if they are in place when the file/folder is initially encrypted.  A program like AEFSDR might be able to resurrect your old certificate from your old drive if it is readable at all.  If you plan to use EFS in the future, make sure you read the following article the court - particularly paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

  "Best practices for EFS file system.

• Protection of the projects during the upgrade of the Lion in Yosemite

  Hello world!  Does anyone know how to protect themselves from projects during the upgrade of the Lion to the operating system of Yosemite?  I heard shops of the horror of people the upgrade of an operating system to another and then having to rebuild their projects in the new operating system and I want to avoid if I can.  If there is no way to do so, any ideas on the record of ongoing projects would be greatly appreciated.  I have been turned off of this update forever and you have to do as soon as POSSIBLE.  I'm currently under OS X 10.9.5 and FCPX 10.1.4.  Thank you!

  10.9.5 are Mavericks. Could indicate you these horror stories? They may contain information that is largely obsolete. You want to check any third-party software and plugins to make sure they are compatible with the latest operating system.
