The upgrade of equipment and installation of windows on Equium M40X

Hi guys,.

I bought a M40X-189 in 2005, which came with win XP Home Edition on a toshiba CD.

I don't know if this is common worldwide or for different models; but my installation CD verifies only that it is in the computer on which it was purchased with and then coppies an image disk pre-installed and pre-activated windows XP on the computer. I love what it means I don't have to use the serial key and I am not limited to 3 activations on my serial key.

The only complaint is that when I needed a CD of windows for fixing the computer (starting in recovery mode), this CD did not work and I had to download a pirated copy of XP home (I only it used once to start in recovery mode, and I never installed windows, so I hope that's ok).

Anyway, the computer comes with a Hitachi HTS541060G9AT00 hard drive (60 GB, ATA - 6, 5400 RPM, 8 MB cache, 12ms search) and I wanted to upgrate to a 250 GB western digital drive with the same cache, research, interface and rpm.

I was wondering will the CD still be able to install windows or he thinks that it is not the computer, it came with and therefore not let me install?

Hello

If you want to install Windows XP using not the recovery disc, then you will have to enter the serial on the right key.
If you don t have a serial key on the right then you will not be able to complete the installation of the OS.

With regard to upgrading the HARD drive:
I know you can use a 120 GB 2.5 IDE HDD for sure, but I don't very well if the 250 GB would be recognized due to the LBA 24 bit m.

I recommend you to choose a 120 GB HARD drive

  • What is the reliability of Plug and Play in Windows 7?

    What is the reliability of Plug and Play in Windows 7? I mean he came in windows in Windows 98. Sometimes, when you plug a USB device, you may need a set of 60 seconds to restart your computer. Our company become lazy 60 seconds is too long to wait to use a USB device? It might be a good improvement in the next generation of Windows operating systems, but is it reliable, Plug and Play in Windows 7? Any ideas?

    There is a finite amount of drivers that can be incorporated into Windows such as Windows recognizes the device. In addition, device manufacturers must submit the drivers to Microsoft to incorporate into Windows at construction time. Out of the box Plug and Play does not work for all possible configurations of hardware.

    Windows 7 Service pack 1 is released in 2010, the last chance for drivers to be incorporated into the build. Devices with their own hardware ID, which were released after the construction cannot be identified automatically and must, by definition, provide the required drivers for the start install but after that, they should recognize the device automatically. Although the USB 3 specification has been ratified by little around the time of the release of Windows 7 more material supporting this specification came out that shortly after. Windows 7 does not natively support USB 3.

    Windows 7 of Plug-and-Play support works very well, but depends on the hardware manufacturer provides drivers reliable and other support files when it comes to new hardware. Your problem is not with Windows, but your reception units. Windows 7 is now disabled standard support.

    Is there a default value for the color management in PSE10? Beautiful photos from iPhoto, but blur with elements. I need help with this before as I consider that the upgrade to PSE13 and beyond.

    Printing which forms an angle seems ok, but one that is horizontally seems faded, incomplete.

    I was wondering if I saved a layer somewhere and set it as a default value.

    If you group the layers, you will be left with a single layer, thus spreading your concern.

    Suggest that you do the following:

    1. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your printers
    2. Reset the default preferences.

    Hold the Alt, Ctrl + Shift keys when you click the icon to open the items. When asked if you want to delete the settings file, say Yes.

  • Upgrade of equipment and went from XP to Win7 - how do I transfer/install CS5 on the new SSD?

    I've recently updated the workings of my computer; new mobo, Samsung SSD (solid state drive), CPU and ram. Continued XP Pro Windows 7 Pro with Win 7 Pro now residing on the new solid state drive. I still have the old 1 TB Serial ATA hard drive connected as a storage device, and that is CS5. But of course my CS5 applications are now unusable.

    Can someone please give me some advice on how to transfer the old HD (XP Pro) CS5 installation for the new SSD (Win 7 Pro)? I started to do some research and reading on the first "off-setting" CS5, but I can't open any of my CS5 applications to 'disable '. So I'm puzzled. I am reluctant to try a new installation of my disks in CS5, until I learn the regular procedure...

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Both computers are guaranteed officially custom and past.

    Hi Robert,.

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    You can install Windows XP by using the CD, however it is not possible to use the same product key to activate that has already been used on the desktop. I suggest you perform a new installation of Windows 8 on laptop with the new retail product key. Therefore, you may need to purchase 2 product key of Windows 8 to activate both computers.

  • delete the partition after a failed installation of windows 10

    Hello world

    How is it possible to delete partitions, if in disk utility, there is no possibility to click on the '-' key?

    So I made a failure (several) attempts to install windows 10 on my new iMAC.

    I could download an ISO of windows and start the bootcamp assistant.

    In the last attempt of last night, I selected the bootcamp in windows installation partition, however, installing windows said it was impossible to read the hard drive.

    I then re-formatted this partition (BOOTCAMP) in the installation of windows, and after that, still could not read.

    Then, I deleted the bootcamp partition in windows and re-created a partition on "unallocated space" in the windows installation.

    Installing windows 10 still wouldn't move forward then I've bailed out and went back to OS X with the hope of turning it back on (again) by deleting partitions.

    I was unable to delete the Mac partition.

    Then, I deleted this partition (the one original bootcamp) and reformatted as OS x journaled. At least now, I can see the Partition.

    However in Diskutil, I was then impossible to delete this Partition. There is also a small partition 16 MB that cannot be erased.

    Wizard bootcamp will be past a pop up station: the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

    So I will now try to delete these partitions (the boy and the training camp original one) merge into the original and give then installing bootcamp, another go when I have a lot of energy!

    any help would be appreciated. I'm a little cautious to use Terminal command lines for fear of ruining my new computer.

    concerning

    Evan

    1. your iMac has a Fusion drive?

    2. don't mix to disk utility and Wizard of BC. They can lead to a host of issues.

    3. If you do not typos in the Terminal, they provide much more rich in detail. You have a Time Machine backup, put in place?

    4 can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

    diskutil list

    Cs diskutil list

    sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

    The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

  • Pavilion 15-ab043sa: cannot reset to factory settings after the upgrade computer laptop brand new 10 Windows

    I bought 2 new laptops, they seem to be special models not listed is not in the HP support site, purchased from Currys PC World in the United Kingdom.

    First HP Pavilion 15-ab045sa laptop computer 15.6 "-red, upgraded to windows 10 perfectly well and I made a backup of the system while I studied the creation of recovery media (this info must be printed with the laptop in the box, rather than letting the user have to find BTW)."

    The other a HP Pavilion 15-ab043sa laptop computer 15.6 "-blue, for my parents, has turned into a total disaster."

    The two models are the same, except that the first is red and the other is blue, that's why they have different product numbers?

    I was now in a position where the recovery on the D: drive partition is not a factory reset.

    I did not even recovery disks as having the first one to go smoothly, I thought the same thing would happen on the second laptop and I got the recovery disc then.   I tried to create a USB stick recovery, but I had no one who can save the system settings - need at least 32 GB free.

    This occurred as first I started the laptop, made of windows, MS Office 365 updates, added then waiting 2 days for windows 10 to arrive.  When it came it installed fine and then I added a printer driver for an HP printer and made some configurations of the operating system.  At the next reboot showed something was wrong as the boot took over 7 minutes.  As the synaptics app was referenced twice in the tab start Task Manager also had strange things in the system.  Rather than go back to a previous system restore point that I attempted to identify what was wrong and uninstalled all without success.  I then had the opportunity to go back to 8.1 for Windows or "reset the PC.  Not a lot of explanation on delivery to zero and certainly no warning options that the D: partition was no longer valid.  Windows options were "in my face" so I don't think watching HP recovery.  So I chose to run from Control Panel 'Reset the PC and keep the files'.  So, indeed, I now have a clean install of Windows 10 but have lost all applications that were on the factory orginal building.  I see no way to re - install all of these programs and find the license keys.  I have more HP recovery at all.

    So I have no way to put the blue doesn't return to the factory settings.

    Advice please, I want a laptop blue, the same as the red, i.e. Windows 10 with all applications that have come to the factory as well as the correct printer drivers and a time of less than 30 seconds of starting.

    You are not sure if there is anything I can copy from red to blue to get it going again?
