The OEM Win XP OS can be installed on a hard drive to another PC to use the OEM PC?

Hello

I have a problem. My PC has only one hard disk, I could not format a new HD.

I need to rely on someone to get in shape for me.

If I give him my XP OEM installation disc to install this hard drive for the sake of practice, will it work?

If it works, I get this hard drive on my OEM PC and install it to start and use?

Or is it necessary for the installation will take place from the DVD on the PC OEM itself drive after formatting by a third party?

Thank you

Hello

In addition to problems of licenses with the OEM licenses, you cannot install XP on a different computer and then swap disks as bad hardware drivers (motherboard, etc.) would then be included when installing.

"Or is it necessary for installation will take place from the DVD on the PC OEM itself drive after formatting by a third party?"

You don't need to get into shape by a 3rd party.

This should be done during installation

  • Can I format my secondary hard drive on another PC?

    I understand that you format a secondary hard drive before using this, but what happens if I format it in another computer and place it in another computer? I basically want to just send my files on the secondary hard drive then put the hard drive in another computer and transfer the files on the primary. Should it be formatted when installed in another computer, every time and will it be ok if I just send my files to real vivid primary in another computer? Thank you

    Format on a computer and you can use it in all that are supported by the type of file system.  Use NTFS for windows computers.

  • Can I install a new HARD drive and use an old backup

    Just, I got my new Dell's HARD drive and need to install it in my Dim 9200. Can I use the old hard drive as a backup drive or secondary without deleting anything or reformatting? I have too many things on the old drive and am not crazy about cloning, I prefer to do a clean install of XP and be able to do things more when I feel the need. Is this possible or am I dreaming.

    After installing the new drive hard SATA and windows installation, etc. and when it works to your satisfaction, put the 'old' drive as the secondary, transfer all the files and folders you need in the new C: / volume, using the option "send to."  Providing the old hard drive has no problems, then the format and partition the drive for additional storage.

    Note. Only files and folders can be transferred, all programs and applications must be reinstalled from their records, or downloaded from the site of the publishers.

    computer or the old hard drive?

    Yes, implying that the old disks hard XP is in good health.

    You can use a USB external hard shore caddy for the old disk or you can directly connect via the SATA port on your motherboard you new computer. 99% of the time there will be connections of additional power from the power supply on your new machine to feed the old drive.

    All of this assumes that the old drive is SATA interface _ we IDE, in which case you would need an adapter to connect directly to the new MoBo computers.

    I don't think that even though you can check to make sure there is no IDE USB external hard drive caddies.

    The top is SATA and the bottom is IDE.

  • Can I save one external hard drive to another on a mac?

    I have an external hard drive that is used for the pictures I use Photoshop and Lightroom. I want to know how I can backup this disc on an another external hard drive and update only the files that have changed on the original disc.

    It would be also possible to save the iMac to a third external hard drive?

    The best way to save your Mac's Time Machine. It can save the Mac gradually and keeps a history of backups, so that you can go to different moments in time when you restore your Mac.  Time Machine can also include external drives to the backup, see this link: the basics of the Mac: Time Machine

    If you want to save your Media Player separately use cloning software for updating a copy cloned, for example carbon copy clone.
