Hi all

recently, I have a hp dv4series 1318tu notebook with vista preinstalled home premium basic with core 2duo trial, 4 GB of ram and 297 GB of hard drive. I tried many things to install xp sp3 on it and installed it (nlite) with the help of the thread with the link below. but the probleum his presist. After all my efforts sound does'nt installed. so I recovered using vista recovery disks.

http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and/problem-in-Instlling-XP-in-HP-DV4-1318tu-series/m-p/126411

So I decided to install xp as os double with vista. Sir I repuest know how to install xp sp3 (either using nlite or n - lite) and the legacy of this facility on the performance of the pc as the system will become slowly etc.

I heard that if installing xp on vista preinstalled the i will have to manage the startup option using third-party software, as I don't have the vista installation disc; I have discs(3-DVD) of recovery.

so, if I need to use any software for Startup Manager then please post a link to free software.

I'll be oblized to the answer of the year...

Ok.. Finally, after 3 days of my effort of aggrassive, I found the solution.

required system:

(1) windows vista recovery disk (can be downloaded from the following link)

(2) easyBcd 2.0.2

(3) Windows XP sp2 or higher and and nlite.

Steps: -.

(1) initially simply xp can'nt be installed. wake so this xp on a cd as shown on the following web:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/Problem-in-Instlling-XP-in-HP-dv4-1318tu-series/m-p/126411

(this step is for hp dv4 series laptop. I have the same.)

(2) go to the following web page and learn how to reduce the disk to create a new partition for xp must be installed. and install xp (as shown) on the new partition. http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/install-Windows-XP-on-your-pre-installed-Windows-Vista-computer/ now you have pc with xp and no option to boot from vista as vista bootloader is currupted.

(2) go to the following web page and download windows vista recoverydisc. Download http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 easybcd2.0.2 and install (note that easybcd does not work and gives an error). Copybootsect.exefrom the bin of easyBCD (where it is installed) and paste it into the recoverydisc of vista (downloaded above) > startup folder.

(3) now to create a bootable disc of this updated (after gluing bootsect.exe) recovery disk. You can can create bootable USB drive. Goto http://torrentz.eu/ and download UltraISO > intall > select the vista (with added boosect.exe) recoverydisc the bottom > menubar > Bootable > write disk image and follow the instructions to create a pen yr starter drive.

(4) now insert your bootable cd/USB with vista recovery disk > yu restart > device(cd/pendrive) yr to boot from to choose. > Click Next > fix your computer (not install now)> vista recoverydisc > select command prompt > type exactlyas follws byreplacing X with the letter by which your system assigns a boot media.

Bootrec.exe /fixmbr x:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt60 all/force
now restart your pcand it will boot with vista.
(5) install easyBCD and goto edit menu start > select the drive letter from manually where xp is installed > add new entry. and reboot and you did.

  • Cannot install Windows 7 on the computer

    Hi my name is Mauricio Osorio, recently, I tried to install Windows 7 on my computer, but it does not work, then I tried to re - install my Windows 8.1 license, but my computer has two drives, all first it's a ssd (Solid disc) and the other is sata, the most common of the disc type. My problem is: I don't know how to use this because it is so small (25 GB) ssd drive, but it is really fast, I tried to install Windows on it, but is so small and it does not work. What should I do?

    If as you indicate the SSD is small it almost certainly was not used as a disk operating system, but as a buffer high speed for the main SATA drive.

    The factory restore should recover the disks in the correct way before you tried to install Windows 7, you have created the.

    If you want to set this function yourself then how exactly depends on the chipset. With the driver Intel Smart Response Technology, you will need to install Windows on the SATA drive then in the driver control panel define the SSD as its buffer.

  • Compaq Presario CQ56: a problem with the computer keyboard laptop presario CQ56

    All keys (F) Act as the FN key is been held down when it is not. This just started today. I have a free prog called "keyboard test utility. Now, I have discovered that I can get 1 clean tap of F4 and the prog to test keyboard shows only illuminated F4. The next time I hit the letter (P) F4 and the Windows key are lit. Now, if I tap the FN key, and then press the F4 key. Again, F4 is the only 1 who turned on the prog of test. It's almost like the FN button nosed. I just to confirm. Rather than hold down the FN key to get things under the keys (F) (as a volume-, volume +, cut and so on). Now, I have to hold down the FN key to get the regular F1 to F12 keys. The rest of the keyboard is fine. A regular toggle switch or a switch in a radio push button. The FN key acts like someone ripped the wires to the back of the switch and reverse the wires and the switch can operate in reverse. Beats me how this can happen to a laptop keyboard.

  • Cannot install Paintbrush program on the computer.

    Original title: Install Paintbrush.

    I am running XP Professional. I want to install the paintbrush program, but when I go into the control panel and try to install it, the Add/Remove Windows components does not find the file. I tried to use the home edition of XP and it did not find the file either. How can I install the brush on my computer.

    Do you mean "Paint" rather than Paintbrish, i.e. the standard program bundled with Windows XP?

    In Add/Remove Windows components, you must click the button of Details for accessories and utilities, then the Details button for accessories. Paint should be registered.
