Update XP to win 8 needs Conversion from FAT to NTFS but CONVERT. EXE does not, any more than CHKDSK, jumps to restart
I'm updating using the MS dissk that stops, saying first convert the HARD disk to the NTFS format. Using convert text suggested for the C drive on reboot, nothing happens, he jumps through and reload Windows. Several attempts have failed so I used CHKDSK /F C: but this jump also thanks to restart.
I tried one of the etensions CHKDSK only indicating finished had erros on the C drive but running CHDDSK /F c: it skpped by.
Please can anyone suggest something else to try I would prefer to use update rather than a full installation disc...

You can use the update disk, but you have almost no choice other than
do a full install (clean). There is no way to make a direct
update of XP. Other than one new installation, your only other
choice would be a triple upgrade - XP to Vista, Vista, 7, 7, and 8.
And I strongly advise against trying it. Not only is it
expensive, but do three upgrades triple the risk of having
problems.
Also if you attempt to run Windows 8 on XP - era machine, it
most likely is that you will be medium low power for Windows 8, and
will need several hardware upgrades, and they will cost enough that it
might be cheaper to buy a new computer with Windows 8 on it.
And not only will insufficient hardware in any way a problem, but you might also
a problem with Windows 8 drivers for some of your old equipment do not have
be available.

Hi all
I upgraded from Windows 10 Windows 10 November updated this morning.
I have the Hyper-V role is installed and use it from time to time, but bcdedit to configure the boot loader to disable Hyper-V by hypervisorlaunchtype power off.
This technique has worked with 10 Windows and VMware Workstation and I could start and run virtual machines
Since I did the upgrade, I can't start VM with this standard message "VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible"
I am running VMware Workstation 10, but suspect that this problem also exists with later versions.
Everyone knows about this problem?
Someone at - he found a solution?
I'm willing to fork over $150 for 12 workstations to solve this problem, but I want to know with certainty that it is circumventing my problem.
Thanks for that.
Uninstallation and reinstallation of the hyper-v feature, following the upgrade of Windows Windows 10 November 10 update solved the problem.
I still need to run the following command to disable the Hyper-V technology
bcdedit/set hypervisorlaunchtype
Thanks to everyone for their help.

I need a driver/files mouhid.sys, my mouse support does not work. Please thank you!
Hmm, a strange thing to have disappeared. Do you have a virus or checked for malware scanner?
The mouhid.sys file is supposed to be in % systemroot%\system32\drivers. You pouvez find a copy of it in % systemroot%\dllcache. If it's not in... \drivers and is in... \dllcache, recopy the... \drivers. (You may need to do this in Mode safe.)
Except for the above bit of luck, there are several ways to recover.
1. use msconfig:
Get your installation CD or locate a copy online
Since an administrator account, run msconfig ( -R, msconfig)
When "msconfig" opens, select the "Général" tab and click on the button "expand file...". »
(This will open the window to "Develop a Source of Installation file")Enter 'mouhid.sys' in "file to restore:
Enter the path to the DRIVER. CAB file in the \i386 on your installation media directory.
(or browse to...)
Enter "c:\windows\system32\drivers" in the "save in:" entry.
Click "expand".
'mouhid.sys' is now where never told you develop to...2 use the utility auditor of system files (SFC) to check the missing files and restore them if necessary.
You will again need your installation media and, if you have installed the Service Packs, the CD-ROM for
the latest Service Pack, you have installed.From an administrator account, type: -R, sfc/scannow
SFC calls for, first of all, your installation media, and then later the service pack CD-ROM. If SFC wants to replace the files, leave. If the SFC rejects your Service Pack CD-ROM, read the KB900910 Microsoft Knowledge base article. Note that this article applies to SP2, but is also applicable to the SP3. Just use your common sense and use SP3 where the article refers to SP2.
If you don't have a CD-ROM Service Pack 3, or order it (U.S. / Canada , Europe, Africa , Asia or South America ) from Microsoft or download the ISO (here ) and burn it. Be sure to Select the appropriate language if you download ISO. Note, I recommend that you install Service Pack 3 on a CD-ROM, rather than through Windows Update so that youpouvez use SFC with success!

How to change from fat to ntfs
I'm trying to update my bios, when I went from vista 32-bit to 64-bit windows 7, I had to change most everything in my laptop. My laptop is an acer with all amd products. He came with a very high range graphics, but I've improved it best I could. I continued to get problems such as that of crashing and things like the normal blue screen, so I did a bit of reading on the problem and found that I need to update my bios to accommodate improvements to the rest. NOW IS where the bat hurt. My file system (NTFS) is I think that I spelled correctly, however I tried and tried to update without success. That's when I looked at the properties of the specific file and he said down that (FAT) is the host file. This is my problem and if so how can I fix it. I worked on it for a year or better - I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY GRATEFUL FOR the HELP!
Hi Timcruce,
As you are facing problems with the update of the BIOS (Basic Input Output System), I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the computer as they realese the BIOS updated.
Warning: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
Changing the file system from FAT to NTFS is recommended in the Windows 7 operating system. However, the change of the file system is not bound with BIOS update.
You can see these articles for more information on the change of FAT to NTFS file systems:
Convert a hard disk or partition to NTFS format
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/convert-a-hard-disk-or-partition-to-NTFS-format
Comparing the NTFS and FAT32 file systems

Hope this information helps. Please return back with the results so that help you solve the problem.

After updating my iPhone 6 (9.3.4) the WiFi signal becomes very low! I did everything, but the problem does not stop! I don't a not update my other devices & their very good WiFi signals. Please help me solve this terrible problem...
Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.
(1) restart you device.
(2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.
(3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth). Channels 1, 6 or 11 are recommended for 2.4 band.
(4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4
(5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.
(6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).
(7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.
(8) backup and restore the device using iTunes. Try to restore as New first and test it. If ok try to restore the backup (the backup may be corrupted).
https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201252
(9) go to the Apple store for the evaluation of the material. The Wi - Fi chip or the antenna could be faulty.

TPSMain.exe does not start on Satellite U400 - 14 p PSU44E running Win XP
Hello
I installed Windows XP Pro SP3 on my U400 PSU44E - 14 p.
I found all the drivers on the official website of Toshiba (thank you) but one in the origin of the problems: TPSMain.exe does not start when I start the computer.Once I type my password and login, I hear a typical Windows error sound, but no message is displayed. I noticed that when you try to start the Toshiba Power Saver utility from the Control Panel, I got an error message telling me that I have enough privileges to run this utility...
I am the administrator!
If you guys encountered the same problem and got a hint of trouble, feel free to post here. THX.
I have a Toshiba Satellite U400 and I installed Win XP too.
I have a user account administrator and Toshiba Power Saver works properly!
No problem don't like on your system!However, in the Toshiba Power Saver Settings (installation options), you can find the option called limited allows the user to change the settings and allow different actions for each profile.
Check that both are enabled!
If this doesn't help then reinstalling again this tool.

How to fix iTunes?. It no longer starts. I reinstalled 10.3 and updated 10.6.8 repaired, repaired disk permissions, but it still does not boot to the top. TIA Pietrowiak
There is a Snow Leopard update that would probably help. It's called 10.6.8 Combo update. Download and apply. Then discover iTunes.
https://support.Apple.com/kb/dl1399?locale=en_GB there is also a supplement that should also be downloaded.
