  • I downloaded Windows XP from the Windows Service Center. It is an exe file. How can I extract this to a disc and burn I can install it?

    I downloaded Windows XP from the Windows Service Center. It's a .exe. When I click on it, it is extracted to a folder I called "xp". How can I obtain these data on a disk to install XP from a CD? Should what steps I take? I am running Windows 7.

    original title: Burning a disk XP

    Putting aside if the 64-bit version of XP is what you need, when you ran the exe, the file that was extracted (i.e., in the folder named "xp") should have been an ISO file.

    Files ISO are CD images and are intended to be burned (NOT copied) to a writable CD.

    Assuming that you have the correct hardware (CD burner), you can burn your ISO as described here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Burn-a-CD-or-DVD-from-an-ISO-file

    Note that what you downloaded is NOT "Windows XP Mode" which is available for use with Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition.  The image you uploaded is for installation on a separate computer (or in a dual-boot configuration) - assuming you have the required license keys.

    I own a dv7 - 3186cl and recently bought a new hard drive to replace the damaged one.  When I go to install windows 7 from the recovery of the system DVD purchased by hp, it loads a blank screen background image and stays there.

  • Code product key? had reboot my computer and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop

    Hi, I'm having a problem with my laptop. I bought my laptop online, a year ago, and I got a virus. Then, I had my computer reset and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop. After looking through records and information, we found that he had no number. He worked initially but then recently he was asked for a product key or something of the sort code. I was using my laptop but I cannot customise my background etc.

    Can you help me?

    Thank you very much

    The code is located on a label and is a 25-digit alpha-numeric (and very hard to read) code separated into 5 groups of 5 numbers separated by dashes.  If you can't find it on the bottom of your laptop, open the battery housing and remove the battery and look there - I know of cases where this is where it was placed.

    If you can't find the product key, your only choice is to contact the manufacturer and see if they can help.  Sometimes the relocations made with recovery disks don't need to be activated (depends on the manufacturer and their recovery process must ask them and confirm before you spend money on the recovery discs).  A valid product key is required for activation if activation is required - there is no way around this problem.  And in case you are considering on it, you can't switch from one product not enabled - you need to do a clean and complete installation (update disc will not work).

    I hope this helps and that the manufacturer can help you.

    Good luck!

  • I use the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 from the Satellite on the Qosmio?

    Hello

    I have 2 laptops Toshiba, Qosmio X 300 - 14U and Satellite T130 - 12 K, and my question is:
    I use the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 from the Satellite on the Qosmio?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi frakri,

    What drivers tell you exactly? Display, chipset, sound, etc. ?

    Theoretically, it should be possible, but it s according to the material. For example if your Qosmio has the same chipset as satellite you can use these drivers. Otherwise it wouldn't work because the hardware is different.
    First, check the features!

    In addition, you can get all the drivers here:

  • reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office

    We have 4 old desktop computers with windows xp I want to reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office

    I bought a HP desktop computer and dell preinstalled with Windows XP. The office has not worked for a few years, he has the processor are P4 and slow work.

    I recently bought a desktop computer and wanted to know can I use the same license key to get Windows XP installed on my new desktop computer.

    Note: I have lost my original installation of windows CD but have the office and Windows XP product code is available to me.

    The old HP desktop and dell came with a license with the sticker on the side.

    Any PC which came with a sticker with a key to activate product on it has a license that is related to this PC (and only this PC) for ever. It is not legal to install on a PC using the key videos from another PC.

    If the PC you want to install XP on still has its sticker, then as much as you have a compatible installation XP CD, XP can be re-installed using the key on the sticker.

    Only commercial versions of XP can be moved from one PC to another. With the commercial versions, the activation key came with the media, not on a label stuck on the PC.

  • Windows vista USB flash drive installation AND recover the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disk

    Hi all

    I formatted my laptop some time ago. Now I want to reinstall windows vista (came along with my laptop). The thing is due to a problem that my CD drive does not work so I would like to install windows vista by using a USB key. Can you get it someone please let me know if this is possible... If Yes, how I've go ahead make a bootable USB.

    As someone can tell me if there is a way to retrieve the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disc.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    This can help, but you will need a Vista system to create the working bootable USB key:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista/

    As for the product key, it should be on a sticker on the laptop (usually on the bottom). If it is not readable, contact the manufacturer for further assistance. As we said already, the product key is not on the installation disc.

    Replace broken laptop optical drives is not too difficult, you can see this as another option.

  • Download black screen during installation of Windows 7 from the disk.

    Original title: loading Windows 7 with windows 8 is already installed

    Dell computer brand new.  (Terrible dealer. They charge $ for help on something other than the material.)  The new computer comes with windows 8 is installed.

    Like any windows 8.  Ordinate of windows 7.  They sent the disc and no key.

    Dell will not help with installation unless you pay them $!  They say that it's a Microsoft product, and they are not obliged to help, even if it was purchased from them!  It's like buying a new washing machine or a car.  You need to contact the manufacture to get help with it?

    No, you communicate with the store, it was purchased from.  This applies to any new product I know. But not with Dell!

    Sorry for the rant.  I just found this totally outrageous situation.

    MY PROBLEM:

    Installing windows 7 from the drive, they sent.  Ten minutes into it the screen goes all black.  It is said that there is a file on the disk.  Also a button to continue.

    I stopped the installation and am at a loss as what to do...

    Thank you, Al

  • How to uninstall Windows 7 from the recovery disk?

    By mistake, I installed Windows 7 on the recovery disk. I have only windows 7 installed on my Dell Inspiron. However, it is now a multi-boot, as Windows 7 is stored on the operating system and the recovery drive. How delete/uninstall Windows 7 from the recovery drive (more free space on it is exhausted). I already tried to 'Format' and 'Remove the Volume' in the disk management page, but the options are grayed out and I can't access it.

    It's probably that you managed to install on the Dell recovery disk victory because it would be too small.

    Open the recovery partition in Explorer to view the files.

    Use msconfig to remove incorrect boot entry

  • After upgrading from Vista created a new documents folder and now ignores the original

    Last week I updated my computer (which I believe has an update of the graphics card and some windows stuff) using Windows update and left while he was closing. I guess what he finished close, but as I was leaving for the weekend, I can't be 100% sure and this weekend my house loses power at least once.

    As for the problem, at windows startup today made first time setup that works normally when you connect to a user account for the first time. Applications of Sidebar by default loading, the default value of the user interface (that I don't use, so it was the first sign), and I found that on the opera opening, all my favorites and settings were gone.

    At the opening of my documents, I found that they were completely empty of content, including all hidden folders where all of my settings the user should be.

    Navigation around the computer, I find that this will C:\Users\USERNAME\ my documents are still intact, but are ignored, with all the shortcuts leading to my documents redirect me to the 'new' documents folder, which means that for all purposes useful all my user settings for all programs that store data in the documents have been reset.

    Maybe someone has an idea of what may have caused this?  Personally, it's one of the strangest bug I've ever seen in any version of windows, and I'm not sure how I should go to deal with it.

    Update:

    To check the path of the 'new' documents folder, it appears as C:\Users\TEMP

    This means at least all of my original documents folder has not been deleted, but I'm trying to support everything up to an external drive where vista decided to replace my old documents folder entirely.

    Hello

    You can perform a restore of the system on the computer to restore the previous settings again.
