• Can I install Windows 7 on an external hard drive and then put it back in the computer as a hard drive internal?

  Here's the situation, I reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop when it all of a sudden to stop. Now he cannot start Windows and only shows the Startup Repair tool. IM thinking if I can get my hard drive and put it in a hard drive enclosure and install windows in it as a hard drive external. And after installation, I will put the normal back on my laptop as a hard drive. Will this work?

  Furthermore, I can't boot any disk installation because the built-in DVD player does not work, also I can not change startup option because I can't access the BIOS, there the password and I do not know. Please someone help! :( Thank you!

  As a general rule, Microsoft allows not 'officially' most versions of Windows (9 x--> 7) to boot from an external hard drive.  However, there could be an exception to this rule.  eSATA pregnant use signals to 'SATA' HDD on an "external" port

• Cannot install Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 8

  I've upgraded to Windows 8 on an Asus U43Jc and I can't install Windows 8.1 on the store or iso (DXC1900101 - 0 x 20017 error), so I want to downgrade to 7. In addition, WIndows 8 crash with a Driver_Power_State_Failure. This is another reason why I want to downgrade. Whenever I try to downgrade, I get the blue screen of Windows 8 for a second then it resets. I even tried to use Hiren Boot CD to boot Windows 7 and still get the same results. This individual has Asus with Windows 7 not pre-installed so no boot UEFI or Secure Boot settings in the BIOS. Anyway, I don't want to be stuck on Windows 8 with it crashing every second. How can I downgrade to Windows 7?

  Your best course of action is to ask the ASUS recovery media:

• Cannot install Windows XP Pro on the Satellite A100-411

  Hello

  IA´ve you have a question. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-411 with Windows Vista Home Premium. Because of the performance that would have me much better with Windows XP, I tried to install Windows Xp on a second partition, but on the same hard drive.

  The problem is that it did not work, I put the Windows XP cd in my DVD player, did a restart and started from the cd.
  The first window Windows Xp installation opened and checked my system, but when he did and
  wantet to start the main installation, I got a blue screen, where stood her system was closed due to an error and that I should change my video card, or should I turn caching and shadowing in my Bios.

  But my video card really works and is ok and I can't find the caching and shadowing in bios, so I can't install windows xp.

  So my question is is it possible to install Windows XP on the A100-411 when Vista is installed on the other Partition.

  I did something wrong or isn´t is it possible to install Windows Xp after Windows Vista on an A100-411
  Sorry for my bad English and greetings from the Germany

  Hello

  Of course, it should be possible to install Windows XP on the second partition.
  First you must create the partition. Vista provide a clean option for partitions of creation because the 3rd party applications such as Partitions magic doesn't work under Vista. In disk management you can reduce the size of a partition of first and could create a second partition on the HARD disk free space.

  All your Windows XP CD contain service packs? I myself remember more old CD s WinXP don't were not delivered with SP2! In such cases, it s a good idea to create a clean XP Boot CD using 3rd application called nLite. Its freeware and you could find on the net!

• Need to install windows 7 Professional on second hard drive

  Computer of my sister was in place and I began to suspect that the HDD went wrong.  I tried to do a reinstall on his computer and had no success.  I now took his hard drive of his computer and installed in mine as a second hard drive, like that I had a working computer and could be able to explore his.  I have been formatted for virgins out there and tries to use his professional disc of windows 7 to reinstall the operating system on the hard drive.  I have windows 7 home on my hard drive, when I insert the disc that I had heard that he was asking me what hard drive, I tried to install it to, and he has not tried to install it on my original hard drive and he said that I had to use a upgrade disk and not this one.

  How to install on his hard drive, so I can then take up and put back in his computer and see if it works.  And also after that I get installed on the 2nd drive hard is there a way to try to boot from hard drive before that I have to remove to ensure it works well?
  Thanks for any help
  William

  It's not going to work, but the startup information will be stored on your startup disk (one running Windows 7 Home Premium). If you did a dual boot on your system, then reinsert the disc in your computer of the sisters, she does not start. Now that you have properly formatted the drive, put it back into his computer and try the installation again.

• Cannot install Windows XP after the purchase of disk

  I put the disk for Windows xp, but cannot be installed

  You should really start a new thread on this question of yours.  I'll send a message to the moderator to separate this question from this old thread and create a new one for you.

  In any case, if you have installed vista, xp will not be able to install automatically. It's because you try to downgrade your computer.

  However, if the computer already had xp on the computer, and then you could upgrade to vista automatically.

  You'd have to do is to format the hard disk in the first place, until xp can be reinstalled.

  But there may be another problem for you at this time.

  You see, if you have a computer that has been designed to use vista then xp is maybe not able to work on this computer.   You will have to go place of origin of the computer and see if your machine has hardware drivers that can be used by xp.  In others, you should check if there are drivers xp for your computer model.

  If this is not the case, then it means that your computer cannot start xp, even if you reformat the hard drive and install a new copy of xp on it.

  What is the brand and model of your computer?

• Reinstalling windows xp After erasing the hard drive

  I want to sell my old Dell Dimension 3000.  I want to completely erase the computer before doing this for security reasons.  No Windows CD not supplied with the computer when buying in 2005.  I think it would be easier to sell the computer if Windows was installed, but do not know how to recover Windows on the computer after erasing.  So if I erase the HD what would be my best option to get Windows on it:

  What I have to buy Windows XP?

  Is it possible to download Windows from Dell on CDs for free because they CD did not come with the system?

  Or other suggestions to divest itself of all data without erasing the HD?

  Thank you.

  If you live in the United States, you can ask the Dell XP by completing this form. Dell peut charge you for the disk.

  Hi Peter,.

  Try you to an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If Yes, please try a new and clean Windows 7 installation. It work?

  Another question: your CD/DVD drive works properly or it appears with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager?
  In your case, I would try to remove the drive from Device Manager, then restart the laptop. After that the drive will be recognized automatically.
