If I had to format a hard drive, it will delete everythink including windows xp disk if yes I would be able to see all thinking when I turn on my computer, as if that were to happen I could use windows install for install windows xp
Gaara_2k6,
Welcome to the responses of the Forums. The short answer to your questions are Yes and no and no.Depends on how you format the drive, it will delete everything on the drive. Now, it may still be recoverable with a software specialist or moving to a data recovery company.
If you formatted your hard drive you would not be able to start to do anything, because there would be nothing on the startup disk. With the Windows XP CD or with the recovery media provided by the manufacturer of the PC is the only way to reinstall Windows. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

When I type the text in the latest Illustrator, the text is in a white box. I never had this problem before. I can't find out how to make the box go away. What I am doing wrong?
Today I tried to close Illustrator and re-boot the computer. It did not help. I went on a second computer video/graphics/animation and open Illustrator here. I did a few tests, and he managed to create the text without a box. Then, I opened my first computer Illustrator file form. The boxes were there. I tried to type the new text, and the box was there. When I open the file it says something about a missing font and a replacement. I tried to use this area to locate the police but couldn't. It's the default font on Illustrator on the other computer. A variant of Myriad. I tried to type in the text with a different font. No box. The default font selected by the Illustrator has apparently a box. I didn't try to change the font because it was going well, and because I didn't know any font came with a box. At first, I did all of the text, which was on a white background, so I don't see the boxes of cream. When I added the background image of the boxes appeared. If the problem is resolved. It was a font with a box.

I get disk boot failure when I restart my computer?
I have Windows XP on my computer. To remove a Trojan on my system, I tried to put my computer in safe mode. After that, all that came was a white text on a black screen. I waited for a while, but nothing else came. So, I turned off the computer. After turning it back on, the computer says "disk boot failure". She also asked me to insert the disk system, but my computer never came with the Xp disc. It was already loaded on my computer. To compensate for this, I bought a Windows Vista upgrade disc, but is not let me load because it is an upgrade. Please, help me. I'm at my wit's end. Also, I am very computer illiterate, so that all the instructions, please be as simple as possible. Thank you.
There is no way to get this properly diagnosed and fixed is going to be simple and Basic. I'll take the word regarding the level of your computer skills.

Disk Boot Failure
I recently learned that so that my motherboard compatible with my operating system, I have need to uninstall the current one and install Windows XP. I use Windows 7, so I booted from this CD and deleted all the partitions and data (nothing is important there), then I went to start my new Windows XP CD and it says "Disk Boot Failure... etc.
I changed the BIOS to boot from the CD, seeing as the other CD has worked to boot from, it doesn't seem to be a problem with my drive. I can't understand. Maybe it's a dodgy CD?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the manual of your motherboard you may need to reset the CMOS or make a hard CMOS reset to default.

My new r3 Alienware x 51 will not start windows when I turn the first time on the computer in daily life.
When the Alienware logo is displayed on the screen, the computer will not load. (No loading cycle appears under the alienware logo). Then the screen becomes black. Keyboard and mouse lights are turned off. Some time, the screen becomes blue background of windows, then the loading cycle does not work any time more and some, the screen has crashed on the Welcome screen of win 10. However, when I turn off the computer and start again immediately. It works normally. If I switech it off and then start it about 2 hours later, the computer will crash again. Every day the first time to activate it, I have to run it twice.I used Dell diagnostic software to search the computer, everything is OK. But it's my second X R3 51 during this period of a month. The last graphics card problem, I switched to this one. But the other also has the same problem. Therefore, in my view, it is that my other hardware problem? I connect a keboard Corsair K95 RGB, G502 mouse, joystick Thrustmaster and a saitek rudder. I used a USB 1 4 adapter to connect some of them. The X 51 system is widows 10. I've also used these materials with a X 51 R2 two years previous. Never encounter this problem.
Got my X R3 51 in December. All of us have had this problem of gel. I "think" what fixed my X 51 R3 rose dating drivers for Intel hardware. Download and run Iobit Drive Booster or snail Majorgeeks.com driver and see if it helps.
ATTENTION:
If you use Iobit Drive Booster, uncheck download AdvancedSystem care before installing the Booster Drive. AdvanceSystem Care blocks every time my hard drive.

Windows XP Activation loop.
When I turn on my computer it tells me that I need to activate windows. I click on 'YES' it takes me to the activation page and says that Windows is already activated. All I can do is, click 'OK' and he takes me into a log on screen with my name on it and goes through the same process, as described at the beginning of this statement. I'm in a loop. The only way out is to wipe my hard drive and reload windows new who, within 30 days, it will do no doubt once again. How to do this?
For 3 years I rebooted my computer. That's why I reloaded it in the first place. I sent this version of Windows XP by Microsoft and have recharged the system at least 4 times in the past 10 or 11 years.Ken
