uninstall of one operating system to another

have ibm thinkpad w / vista but don't want vista. you want to use my xp. ???

You don't say where you got it from XP.

If XP is preinstalled on another computer or if you have purchased an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

The license of XP OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

If a license of XP at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

See you soon.

  • Installation hard drive with Windows XP operating system in another computer

    Why can't I remove the hard drive with Windows XP already active and install in another computer?

    No, you need to reinstall the operating system.  However, if XP and vista came with the computer as OEM software, it cannot be legally activated.  The reason why it does not is the difference in hardware.

  • HP Device Manager - unable to deploy images taken with a particular operating system to another OS

    Hi all

    I tried to deploy an image from a HP T5565 (Thin Client) with the operating system HP ThinPro 4, an HP T5565 with the HP ThinPro 3 operating system. Anyone know if this is possible?

    I am also having the same problem when you deploy an image from a HP T610 - thin thin clent Pro 4, a HP T610 - thin Pro 3 thin client.

    I take the image by right clicking on the client, by clicking on "Send the task", imagery, and then capture Image.

    I deploy images in the same way, but instead select the picture in the Templates window. It works very well for Thin Clients running on the same OS.

    I would be grateful for any assistance with this!

    Kind regards

    Remo

    This is the version of the image I want.

    So bascially your problem is: being ThinPro 3 devices ThinPro 4 different OS, you are not able to find the captured image of ThinPro 4 tab ThinPro 3 OS.

    Two methods for you to Imaging cross OSes.

    1. you have model result to capture the image on your DM console task

    In this case, just click with the right button on the model of result and select "Copy to other OS", it should be ThinPro4 in your case, then you should be able to see and use the model on the ThinPro4 tab.

    2. you have a gold statue want to deploy, but no model of result in the console HPDM.

    1. Locate the gold statue.
    2. DM console, switch to tab ThinPro 3, import the image by clicking on the "Template"-> "Import"-> "Image Files"-> "to deploy without PXE.
    3. Browse the file in step 1, select ThinPro3 as the OS tab and enter a model name.
    4. Wait to build the model on the ThinPro3 tab.
    5. After that these, you can use the model to upgrade unit ThinPro 3 to ThinPro4.

    Just FYI, we strongly recommend to update DM agent before performing all tasks with HPDM.

  • When you run Fusion on a Mac, where a shared folder appears if the virtual operating system is another version of Mac OS?

    I have a Mac under VMWare Fusion with "Snow Leopard Server" running as a virtual OS, invited.  The instructions say I can specify a shared folder to shared between the Mac OS and Mac OS virtual.

    I've specified a folder, however, this folder is not matter where displayed on the virtual server. Maybe I have no idea where it should appear, then maybe that I'm in the right place.

    Anyone know where I can find the shared folder in a version of the Mac OS running virtually in VMWare Fusion?

    (There are instructions on where to find a shared folder for Windows and Linux, but none for where it should appear for a virtual machine running under Mac OS). Thanks for your suggestions, you can offer!

    Best wishes

    Jeff

    Using VMware shared folders requires VMware Tools installed in the guest operating system, you have installed VMware Tools?

    If so make sure that you have enabled in the settings of the Virtual Machine to the shared folders and have added a shared folder.

    If this has been done should be a customer alias for shared folders of VMware desktop operating systems.

    If there no client VMware Shared Folders alias on desktop operating systems then in a Terminal doesn't issue the following command to make sure the system and user VMware Tools Daemon to run.

    PS to the | grep vmware

    The output should display information for two instances of vmware-tools-daemon.

    kextstat | grep vmware

    The output should list several extensions however is that associated with the VMware shared folders: com.vmware.kext.vmhgfs

    Also search /Volumes VMware Shared Folders as is the mounting point on OS X for VMware shared folders.

    Post edited by: WoodyZ - additional command to check the extension of the core related to VMware shared folders.

  • install another windows on windows xp operating system

    Hello, I'm hoping to find someone who can point me in the right direction or assistance.

    My daughter has a series of N Fujitsu Lifebook with Windows XP preinstalled (I know that xp is no longer supported, but please hear me first)

    The stupid thing is stuck on the guest user account and I can't try any diagnosis due to each attempt being blocked by the error message counter

    "You must be logged in as an administrator to perform this action", and as you can probably find, I can't do it.

    In addition, she has more the recovery CD for its Windows xp.

    So my question is this:

    How can I force to Factory Reset, to allow either a different user account be accessible or

    I can install another operating system of Windows on Windows Xp and if so... How can I do?

    The computer notebook peut come with a recovery partition, press F12 repeatedly when the when the Fujitsu logo appears and see if you can get the recovery options.  If the laptop has no recovery partition you will need the restore cd, you can check with Fujitsu and see if they can provide you with a set of recovery discs, fault you need to find/buy one copy of your OS of choice and install it.  Please note that if you want to install one operating system other than Windows XP you must first check on the Fujitsu support site to make sure that the correct drivers are available for the operating system.

    If it is a version of Windows XP Professional, you can press Ctrl + Alt + Delete twice in the log on screen and try to connect with the local administrator account, just type administrator username, and press .  Often the local administrator account is left without protection of password by some who do the installation, you will be able to login with an empty password.

  • Dell studio one 64-bit operating system

    I have a Dell Studio one operating system 64-bit and need to know if I can install a 32-bit operating system on his computer without any problem.  I have several programs that can only be used on a 32-bit system. Please tell us if this can be done and what to buy to do.

    http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx

    Check on the Dell site above to ensure that the Vista 32-bit drivers are available for your model computer.

    You must then buy a license and Vista operating system 32-bit full disk and do a clean install of the 32-bit operating system.

    How to do a clean install:

    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

  • Move from Vista to Windows 7 AND transfer on a different hard disk operating system

    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit and in the same movement of time the OS Vista Home Premium 32-bit & a Seagate 80 GB HARD drive to two 250 GB hard drives in a RAID configuration. I intend to replace the 80 GB HARD disk with a faster drive Windows XP, so I find myself with a dual-boot system.  Apart from the exchange of small hard drives, the system will be unchanged compared to when I activated Vista.  Since it seems I have to reinstall all the programs on W7 in any case (damn and the breath), I wonder if it will be necessary (for reasons of product activation) or useful (for operational reasons) to first clone Vista to the larger players. I am aware that Seagate provides cloning software, also free that 250 GB seems a little bit today - but he will do well while this PC is still working. In case it is relevant, the Vista is OEM (I built the PC and I bought Vista with the motherboard), but I will get the retail version of Windows 7.  Most experts with thanks...

    Hello
     
    We cannot move the operating system from one hard disk to another. However, we can install the operating system on another hard drive or take the whole operating system if necessary system image backup.
    NOTE: You'll have to do a custom Setup to upgrade to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
    Windows Backup gives you the opportunity to create a system image, which is an exact image of a disk. A system image includes Windows and your control panel, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working. When you restore your computer from a system image, it's a complete restoration; You cannot choose to restore individual items and all of your current programs, Control Panel, and the files are overwritten.
