Update copy, can not be used for any new installation...

I recently upgraded to vista and I had XP on my D: drive, but I took it because I thought as I didn't need. Now when I try to activate vista it says this key can be used to upgrade... what the _ I'm supposed to do now? It's not like one do not buy...

Reinstall XP > and then upgrade to Vista XP.

See you soon.

  • What partition for any new installation of Windows 7 64-bit should be used?

    I did a full install of Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop computer that is already running Windows XP MCE 2005 32-bit. I didn't know which partition to install the OS on. There were 2 choice: had the majority of hard disk space, the other had a small amount of space (I think it was only a few GB) and next to him, said 'OEM reserved. I didn't know about 20 GB of free space, so I chose the partion with most of hard disk space.

    What is the right thing to do?

    If it's not then should I install Windows 7 on the other smaller partion again or should I delete this partition?

    I appreciate any assistance in this matter.

    There are several scenarios where an untrained user this doubt. If there a 8 GB oem partition (wtf for kind of crapware they installed in some systems, ask yourself... ;-)) and a XP/Vista system 100 GB partition C and a 40GB partition and then he might be tempted to choose the 40 GB partition because that has the most available space if, for example, the 100 GB drive is full of movies or other stuff.) So it's a matter of good and valid. I don't know if the system would be able to dual boot automatically if install you on a 40 GB partition in this case, have not yet tried. You know, Andre? I suppose so, but do not know about you.

    Oh, and in any case: you have made the right choice. Since now your old OEM recovery partition is still intact, should, for some reason, want to return to your original operating system in the future (incompatibility of system or other (little likely, but ok...)) then you can. Although there are some reported problems with whom, since you may not be able to get into the medium in the usual OEM recovery partition anymore. For example, HP has for many models, a patch recovery partition available that you can apply after installing windows 7. This can often be useful, because it might be necessary at some point in time for you to enter the OEM recovery partition, since usually they do not only install the Sysprep image and crapware there, but often also possible diagnostic software for their particular type of material you might need when the system does not start because of a hardware failure.
    So, check if you can always insert the partition or if your OEM has an update is available for this, if necessary.
    Fun with 7!

  • Should what drivers I for any new installation

    Hi all:

    I have X 220

    I want to clean install windows 7 pro

    During installation, I am asked to insert a CD/DVD driver

    and I don't have it.

    I intend to download the drivers from lenovo Web site.

    But there are so many pilots, that one would be sufficient?

    Thanks in advance

    Currently, I have a linux system on it.
    So I do not have the ThinkVantage.

    So I bought the DVD of Windows 7 from the store
    and all by installing the DVD of windows 7
    the system prompted me drivers.

    You can make it complicated for help us to you. In this post , you wrote that you have downloaded an ISO file that you found on the net. Here you say you bought a DVD.

    You will need an official Win7 disk (or ISO real) that corresponds to the type of product key of Windows you have. A legitimate Win 7 disc will not ask for drivers.

    Start Win 7 installation disc

    Follow the prompts

    Enjoy

    If you do something else than that, then you don't have a record of Win 7.

  • Since the last update, I can not choose the music I bought for the first download on my phone

    Since my last update, I can not get music on my phone, re upload it, music that I bought in the past

    Hello victoriafromrodeheath,

    I understand you have updated your iPhone 6s more iOS 10.0.2, but you can not access your purchased music. The first thing I would say is to leave the music app, sign out of the iTunes (from the settings app) account and restart your iPhone.  Then try to access your purchased again music.   Here are a few resources to explain this in more detail:

    Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Open one session with another Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    iTunes, App Store and iBooks

    1. Tap Settings > iTunes and App Store.
    2. Tap on your Apple ID. If you see the Sign In option, you can change your Apple ID now.
    3. Click sign out.

    4. Go to settings > iTunes and App Store.
    5. Press Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.

    Download your latest purchases

    Download a song

    You can redownload the songs on your iPhone or iPod touch, the iPad, Mac or PC. You can listen to the song already purchased on your Apple TV, but they download on your device.

    On an iPhone or iPod touch

    1. Open the iTunes Store app.
    2. At the bottom of the screen, tap more > buy > music.
    3. Press "not on this iPhone" or "not the iPod."
    4. Find the song you want to download, and then type it.
    5. Press the download icon to the right of the title. Your song downloads on your device.

    If you can't download or do not see your last purchase, get help.

    Take care.

  • can not be used to unlock this iPhone. !!!! What should I do?

    can not be used to unlock this iPhone. !!!! What should I do? This message appears when I type my apple ID: SCOTT its my work laptop I neeedddd help urgenttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

    If you see the lock of Activation screen after update your iOS device, you want to try the following:

    -Restart your iOS device and try to connect again.

    -Visit appleid.apple.com and log in to ensure that your password is correct.  If you change something here, only to change your password.  Try to connect again on the iPhone.

    -Connect on iTunes on a computer and put your Apple ID and password when it prompts you (as it did on your iOS device).

    -ICloud.com check in the settings.  If you see your iOS device listed, remove account (do not erase or hit lost mode). Restart your device and try to reconfigure.

    -These measures should solve most of the problems.  For someone else, you will need to contact Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE or getsupport.apple.com).

    I hope that helps!

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not download Twitter for BlackBerry

    I have a flashlight and recently uninstalled Twitter for BlackBerry and installed Uber Twitter instead. Since I found that I prefer the former. However, now I can not install Twitter for BlackBerry. He told me that my device does not meet the requirements.

    The requirements are: 64 MB, 1000 KG free and BlackBerry version 4.5 or higher software.

    I have 512 MG on my device; 3.7 GB available on the built-in memory and 2.9 GB available on my memory card. I use BlackBerry device Software version 6.0.

    I'm going back with BlackBerryHelp on Twitter, but they cease to tempt me what I already tried.

    I tried to download it from the page Twitter (mobile) as well as page BlackBerry.com (mobile) with the same results. I also tried to send the link by email and download it from the link. Nada. The application does not appear in my App World.

    Help? Please? I'm tweetless.

    Hello

    Maybe it's because Twitter for BlackBerry is currently being updated.  Start by following these steps:

    1. with the unit, remove the battery for 15-30 seconds, then reinsert and wait for the device to reboot.  This will ensure that you start with a clean slate.

    2. If you have BlackBerry AppWorld, try to open AppWorld and search for Twitter here.  Twitter for BlackBerry app should be listed first.  You can then download the Twitter app from there.  This will actually give you the most up-to-date version.

    3. If this does not work, or if you don't have App World installed on your device, try to download it again from http://www.blackberry.com/twitter via your BlackBerry browser.  Now that you've done the battery pull and provided all the files are gone, you should be able to download it.

    If she won't even download, let us know.  Perhaps it is that the servers are updated and which is interrupt your ability to download.  If necessary, I'll ask another user of torch to see if it can access the download.  If he can't, then we will move the info along to those who can check it out further.
