  I recently formatted the partition boot and recovery of a laptop Medion2230, then merged the two partitions in a single NTFS partition.  Don't ask why, it's a long story.

  Then, tried to install a new copy of Windows XP Home.  Everything is OK until the final phase, when the "Blue Screen of death" appeared during the installation of the drivers. Restarted and installing XP as normal to repeat the first onboard staged and went to the "blue screen" at the same point as before.

  Using some diagnostic software, I reformatted the drive again, loaded XP set up and I had the same problem.

  Someone knows what to do?

  How to impose a layer of HAL during an upgrade or an installation of Windows XP

  Impose a HAL

  To prevent Windows XP to automatically determine the system HAL during the upgrade or installation of Windows XP, you can manually force in a system HAL. To impose an Abstraction Layer HAL during a upgrade or installation of Windows XP, follow these steps:

  1. During the phase in text mode of Setup, when you receive the message at the bottom of the screen, press F5:
     Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver.

     Note If you press F7, the Standard PC HAL loads and the ACPI enforcement is bypassed.

  I would not need this except in the systems of many older and low end... :-(  After all, in the same article, for Standard PC they say: "the CPU can be a 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium II, or Pentium III '...

  Thanks for letting us know what you were doing.  Do you have all the necessary drivers after loading Windows XP?  I would not recommend using the default drivers for any hardware - always see what the manufacturer offers on their web page for each component of your system - card motherboard chipset, audio, video, network devices, etc.

  I tried to activate and update; the update was very good, but I got the message on a copy of Windowsdid topic does not pass Genuine Windows Validation.

  I tried to follow the instructions... while I can reactivate with my product key, but after the procedure:

  Click Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools... There is no command "Activate Windows" to do.

  Sounds like a bad copy of windows... I would ask your tech guy how to activate it.  Even if the computer is turned on, she would still have the windows command activate.  It almost seems that it put on an illegal copy.

• "Build 6002: this copy of Windows is not genuine".

  Hello world...

  I've had my TOSHIBA Satellite L40-139 for more than a year. She was purchased by PC World and came with a preinstalled version of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. I don't have the disc that came with the laptop, but the Windows installed is genuine.

  I went to install Vista Service Pack 2 after you download. I restarted my laptop only to find my desktop wallpaper disappeared and was replaced with a black background and the following text in the lower right of the desktop:

  Windows Vista (TM)
  Build 6002
  This copy of Windows is not genuine

  She was followed by a pop-up with two options, 'Activate now' or 'Activate later', followed by a pop up an error that says Windows must be reinstalled as a "unauthorized modification were made...". Please insert the CD or DVD. If I press 'Activate now' he's just another pop up that says I can contact TOSHIBA. If I click on the link it will just a standard screen for "help!"

  I don't know what to do... I have the sticker intact COA product key and tried to enter, but she returned with various errors. It's like as soon as I installed service pack 2 I had problems. Yet once again, I don't have Vista or a toshiba recovery disk (I don't even know if it came with one). I tried to restore Windows, but it returns with the same screens!

  Help!

  PS. is the Toshiba support line a toll-free number? Does anyone know a number that is free to call mobile phones? (I don't have a landline).

  Your model of laptop is not delivered with the recovery disk, but with recovery image stored on the HARD drive. In s manuals document clearly describes that you must fund recovery DVD only tool preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator.

  Version of the OS pre-installed (Toshiba recovery image factory settings) is definitely authentic and I really don t understand how it can happen. I mean thousands of people do the same update, and there is no other claim on similar problems.

  Anyway, if you didn t create recovery disk you can try now is to reinstall the OS using the HDD recovery procedure. How to do this you can read in document http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm Toshiba FAQ
  This will remove all HARD drive, extract second partition so if you have some important data backup.

  If it will not let me know.

• Request OEM licensed copy of Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a desktop with pre-installed Windows 7. I would like to do a new installation on a new HARD drive but I don't have Win7 installation disc. How can I request an ISO?

  I read this post https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Discussion/Windows-7-Install/td-p/1099861. All of this post links to Microsoft software Recovery: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery. I tried to request a copy of Win7 from this site, but I get an error message indicating that I have to contact Microsoft Support. So, I did. Office Microsoft Help companion checked my product key and said it was valid, but in order to get the copy that I had to contact the support service for the OEM. They gave me the phone number, but I can't reach it from my current place of residence.

  Is there a way to contact Lenovo support by e-mail or by any other means except for the phone?

  Thank you.

  Finally, I managed to contact Lenovo support team and they confirmed there is no ISO standard for download.

  However, I found this post which provides a link to a mirror that contains all the ISO of Win7 official the times supported by DigitalRiver.

  Kind regards.

• I am trying to run Halo 2 on windows 7 n 64-bit OS. MFPlat.dll problems

  I am trying to run Halo 2 on windows 7 n 64-bit OS. The game installs properly and is registered. When I start the game it says the the mf.dll and mfplat.dllfiles are absent. I downloaded both of dll.com and install in my system 32 file and file of halo 2. The message I get now is that "point of entry" is missing from the file mfplat.dll.

  Hi, Landon5050,

  If you get to the missing file mf.dll errors or any other errors with the mf.dll file, we suggest that you re-install the program, uninstall and reinstall a newer version, or check to see if updates are available for the program associated with the file instead of trying to copy a new version of the file on the computer. File errors are often caused by more than just a missing or corrupt file and copy a single file could cause more problems.

  http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/process.pl?p=MF.dll

  These dll files exist in Windows, but there are also in the Halo installation directory. The equipped versions of Halo are older and is not compatible with Win7.

  Rename the files in your directory of Halo or replace them with newer versions of your directory %windir%\sysWOW64 or % windir%\system32.
  http://www.computing.NET/answers/gaming/Halo-2-missing-DLL/11709.html

  For re - save these files follow this step:

  1. Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.

  2. type regsvr32 mf.dll and then press ENTER.

  3. new type regsvr32 mfplat.dll and then press ENTER.

  There is a patch for this game as well. Have you tried to install the patch and check if it helped.

  Here is a link to download the update for this game.
  http://download.Microsoft.com/download/b/0/e/b0ec1acf-8623-4520-9764-75baaffc0718/Update.exe

  Run this update after the game is installed.   -DivyaR - Support Engineer
