• Windows Storage: what version of windows and updated to reflect later

  Hello

  I am very new to Windows storage space. I have a few questions:

  1. what version of Windows is the best (only for storage purposes): 8.1 Windows Client, Windows Server R2 Windows Server 2012 Essentials 2012?

  2. in the scenario that I have only 1 HDD now for this. My ultimate goal is to have a mirror put in place when I could buy another drive. Is it possible to go game now and add another disk to mirror later? Do I have to re - format the drive being installed with the new disk mirrored do? Any instructions somewhere?

  Thank you

  Bao.

  This system, which is used for?  Business with several users who connect or personal?

  That would certainly answer your questions...

  Personally, I still hope an array of material on all the rest.  Just as software RAID could you create a mirror RAID with through previous editions of products 'professional or better' Windows - space storage is always based software. ;-)

  With the help of Google:
  https://www.Google.com/search?q=use+storage+spaces+to+create+mirror

  Probably, that's what you're looking for (according to ISO how you asked, etc.):

  http://www.howtogeek.com/109380/how-to-use-Windows-8s-storage-spaces-to-mirror-combine-drives/

  ... and...

  http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-8/create-RAID-like-data-backup-using-storage-spaces-Windows-8/

  Not to complicate things.  It is really as easy as adding the physical drive and selecting the one-way glass, given what you have so far.

  Of course - backups should always be verified (image of the system if possible) before doing anything.  While you might lose data by READING this for various reasons - you increase the risk when you start to play with the data in real time.  ;-)

• Is there a 64-bit version of Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation?

  I have a desktop 64-bit I need to reinstall Windows XP on. The installation disc comes with SP1, so I'll need to install SP3 on it, but I can't seem to find a 64-bit version.

  There is none.  SP2 was the last version for 64-bit Windows.

• Activation of Windows XP Service Pack 3

  My three questions are on this topic:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=2fcde6ce-b5fb-4488-8c50-fe22559d164e&displaylang=en

  They revolve around a little story:
  My disk of Windows XP Professional has been stolen. Now, I am trying to install Windows XP Service Pack 3.

  1.) this is a full installation of Windows XP?

  2.) is a key product required during installation? If so, do I use my Windows XP Professional Edition product key?

  3.) when burning a disc, I just extract the ISO and extract the files in, or do need formatted the drive with a special program?

  4.) is what type of Windows XP Service Pack 3 for Windows XP? Professional? Home Edition? It's its own thing?

  Thanks in advance!

  1 spend it says on the cd before it was stolen?

  2. for XP Yes. Unless you he slipstreamed and added that the key then burned the ISO. You can try your XP Pro key, if it does not, it can / or say its invalid

  3. No, you don't have to format the cd, before that he would burn. It will focus any program you use. You use something like cdburnerxp . If you get this, click more download options, and then download the default installer without opencandy 32bits version.

  ISO is a disk image, for use, there need be burned to a cd or DVD. According to the ISO standard. In the case of XP SP3 (if its ISO format) it is burned to a cd

  4 SP3 is for XP Home and Pro. This isn't a version of windows (you can't boot from by itself) it's a service pack, it will update XP

  Thus, the link you gave above, even if you have a key, you can't use this ISO to boot from. You still need the XP cd

  I have a problem getting Media Center 2004 version compatibility to work with Windows XP, Service Pack 3. Does anyone know of a problem here? Are they compatible? If not, anyone know if there is a fix for this?

  The material that I was referring to is the material that you were talking about, namely your card graphic and sound card. I thought that this could be as simple as installing the correct hardware drivers.

  As I am not very familiar with your particular PC, it is not that I do. You can switch to the thread where PA bear you helped:

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

He also says that it is more optimal to download the much smaller file, through Windows Update, rather than on the site. But when I check the Windows Update, it did not for me to download. Update verification that history does not display it has been downloaded before, even if the other Windows updates have been. Do I need? Should I download the version + 400 MB of site or there at - it another way to download smaller files for my PC only? Any help appreciated. Thank you!
