two hard drives, one with vista and the other with XP and you want to remove second disk XP

I have a hard drive that came with my computer and vista on it, I added a second drive to my bench that has XP on it. I want to remove the second XP disc and simply use it as a storage drive, and I'm afraid that if I try and uninstall XP disc, it allows to uninstall vista of the first hard drive instead. or should I even try and uninstall it all and just delete all files? Since there is nothing in the registry for all the things on the second disc. If I uninstall XP second drive will be there remove all of that second drive? because there are a few things about this, I still want to keep. I should also mention that it is divided into three separate letters, if I do not uninstall XP I lose all three of these letters of partitioned drive? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

You can just uninstall XP. Anyway, as you say, you can remove the folder Program Files and Windows in that partition but personally I would just copy the files I need to another partition (on the hard drive where vista is installed) and the format of the old HDD.

  • Can I feed 2 hard drives, one with XP and one with Win7?

    I have 2 160 GB SATA HDs. C: drive is runing Win7, and I want to install the other drive with Win XP, for me to perform older simulations.

    I unplugged the C: drive that has Win7 on it and went through the usual configuration with winXP, but after all installations have finished.

    I am facing a blue screen that tells me I have a virus or bad drivers etc.

    I ask myself where I want to install Windows XP at all times, so I guess that even if I unplugged the c drive where is installed Win7

    I guess that as a 64-bit PC, it I cannot install WinXP 32-bit. Or what I have to erase Win7 first, and then install Windows XP, then Win7 after.

    Please can someone help.

    Thank you.

    First, if you have Win 7 Pro or Ultimate, you can use the XP Mode (free from Microsoft).

    If this does not work for you, what you want is called "dual-boot".  There are many sites that explain how to set up (and 32 64 bit vs has nothing to do with it).  Here's one (or use your favorite search engine): http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-windows-7-xp.html

  • Have two networks. One is 'working '. The other is the "homegroup". 'work' to the internet. "residential"local group. IE cannot access the internet. Help

    So here's my problem:

    It is a routing problem.  In short, it comes down to how to get IE (or any application) to use a specific WiFi adapter with Internet and ignore the adapter WiFi that goes to a network is private with no internet.

    This is the situation and what I tried.   No joy.

    PC hardware:

    primePC = Win7-Pro with two WiFi.   WiFi-Internet and WiFi-Local-premium

    tabletPC = Win10-Home with a (currently) WiFi-Local-Tablet (not internet from now).

    Use the Description of PC hardware

    primePC is my laptop that I use for work and all the rest.  It goes where I go.

    Tablet PC is in my mobile office and stay in the van (office) when I'm on-site customer.  I use it for

    things like control my monitors in the van (office).

    Network:

    WiFi-Internet (primePC) is connected Internet router to the Internet.

    WiFi-Local (primePC) is connected via the Local router

    WiFi-Tablet (Tablet PC) is connected via the Local router

    Objective:

    WiFi-Local allows you to share files and use VNC for remote desktop.  (Win10-Home support not native RDP).

    Use wireless Internet to connect primePC Apps IE for example to the internet via WiFi-Internet connected to the Internet router.

    A photo is included.

    THE PROBLEM:

    Because primePC has WiFi-Internet and WiFi-Local, applications such as IE are getting confused.

    How can I say (other applications) to use wireless Internet for internet connection?

    What I tried:

    Have you tried ForceBindIP on Win7, but is no longer works.  I'm sure that at some point, it has worked.

    Even if I could make it work, I don't really like it.   There *.   I don't want to link to an IP address.  I want to

    link to a Mac address is the Mac of the WiFi-Internet address.

    Other Options:

    Soft router (ugly) There must be something that can do this.  But I have not found one.  I guess it's a kind of soft router.

    Firewall, routing (still ugly)

    I have a firewall (on average by the way).   Creating a routing table in AVG is not good for the following reason.

    The entire Setup is mobile.    WiFi Internet is constantly connected to different internet routers, so learning new IP address that I have no control over.

    Future:

    Currently, the problem is on the primePC.   But in the end, I have also a problem similar with tabletPC, since the tabletPC is going to have a 3G connection / 4G to the internet.  This connection will go up and down based on (A) if I have internet with WiFi-Internet-router or not.   Using a hub of 3G / 4G for private network will not be good option because (A) the security because it allows access to my tablet, another security van mobile devices (B) cost of using a mobile router WiFi "hot spot" vs just to have two phone lines, both have unlimited data service of attachment (not unlimited hotspot service).

    Hello

    According to the description, I understand that you have a routing problem, you try to get IE to use a specific WIFI adapter with the internet, while ignoring the other WIFI adapter that goes to a private network.

    It is not possible to connect two computer to the same WIFI cards. You must unmark a WIFI to use the other WIFI adapter.

  • I am running vista and you want to go back to Windows XP. How to switch back?

    I bought a new hard drive. I installed vista. Which turns out to be is not very compatible with the rest of my equipment. I would like to go back to windows XP and get rid of vista completely. How do I do that?

    If you do not have your XP disc:

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send an XP Recovery disk.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    You are doing a new installation of XP, wiping the Vista operating system Partition from the hard disk containing Vista in the process.

    Follow the steps below in the link, to do a clean install; read the part where you remove the existing Vista Partition, create a new Partition, format, etc...

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • I have Windows Vista and you want to know, if I switch to Windows 7, will I lose my files, programs, settings and virus protection?

    Currently I have Windows vista. I want to upgrade to windows 7. I would lose my files, programs, settings, and virus protection

    original title: upgrade

    If you do an in place upgrade your files and programs will remain on the computer. If you perform a custom installation, you will need to back up your files and reinstall your programs.

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    For more information, see upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 . (http://windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-vista )
    You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, a clean install is required. If you have any questions about the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa, please see this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

  • Put a hard drive of 1 laptop to the other now Windows 7 says it isn't true.

    I pulled my Toshiba screen came out on hard work and I put it in my Dell, and now the Dell says that he is not a genuine copy of Windows. This is a genuine copy of Windows 7 Professional, who has been in the Toshiba because it was new.

    How can I get it to stop saying that I need to activate? When I click to activate it he says that's not authentic.  * smh *.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    The DELL is allowed to run Windows 7 Professional? No, unless you have a valid license for Windows 7 Professional, who is not related to another machine (OEM) or a license to retail that is can not in use otherwise you do something like that.

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  • How to install Win7 on new hard drive and still access all the files from the hard drives of previous Vista?

    I currently have a Windows Vista PC. It has two SATA drives, one with the operating system, the one I use for storage.

    I want to buy a new SATA hard drive and install a new copy of Windows 7 top.

    I want to know the steps to follow to do this. My plan is this:

    1. turn the pc power off and open the case.

    2. remove the old hard disks

    3. plug the new empty hard drive

    4. turn on the pc and the insertion of the disc to install to Win7 for DVD-ROM drive

    5. enter in the bios and put the DVD-ROM as first boot device

    6. install win 7 on new hard drive.

    Is this correct?

    Because my next question is important:

    7. Turning off the computer.

    8 reconnect the two old hard drives. New total number of SATA drives connected = three.

    Now when I restart the PC and login to Win 7, it lists two other drives as, for example, D:\ and E:\ readers?

    How can I make this work?

    Thank you very much!

    Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to dual boot. I just want to have the hard drive as the master drive Windows7 and the old two drives as slaves, where I can access files as the pictures and letters.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Well, I would disconnect all drives hard current interns, then connect the new hard drive, reinstall Windows 7, re - attach the old readers as slaves and copy all the data you need to on the disc of Windows 7.

  • XPS 410 (Dimension 9200) hard drive upgrade. What is the limit?

    Currently, I have 3 hard drives in my XPS410: year 80 to run programs and the Windows host and two 500 GB (configured as RAID1 for mirroring) for documents, music, etc. I make an edition of AVCHD movies and would like to add additional hard disks to my computer for storage/backup of the images.

    The two slots in the hard drive inside the case are busy. In addition, the 3rd hard drive lies in the 5.25 "bay - using an adapter. I have no floppy drive or media card reader. So, I think to put two hard drives in these slots and their establishment as a separate RAID1. Are there problems for 5 hard drives in this particular machine? I definitely have available SATA ports... Then the power supply handle this situation (my graphics card is nVidia GeForce 8300 GS)? Since space is tight in the area of card reader floppy/media, put two hard lead create a problem with the temperature of the hard drive?

    Thank you very much in advance for your time and help!

    I have the first two in the lower bays and the other two are in the two upper bays, which are for the floppy drive and the card reader. You don't need any additional hardware, just the additional screws that are already in the case.

    Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

    The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

    Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

    You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

    By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

    Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.
