which drive to buy to repair XP on used computers

I have several computers recovered with XP. Different brands. Can I use a disk from the manufacturer-specific charging if I c a the case

Hello

If you still have the COA and product keys for the computers that you have then its best that you contact the manufacturers of computers for the recovery disks.

However, if you are looking only to repair the XP installation in computers, you can use a disk from the RECOVERY CONSOLE. :-)

  • Advice on which drive hard buy for Raid

    I'm going to buy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136544 8 these hard drives, and I'll use a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816131004 raid controller to implement RAID 3. Western Digital know that these drives are not suitable for the raid, disk only I can find, is a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136797. I was wondering if there is a difference actaul between these two that makes the difference. Also, I was wondering if anyone of you knows another hard drive that would be good for the raid which is less than $ 100.

    Your choice of reader and the controller look good for me.

    I have used a controller Areca with WD black for the past two years, and as long as you do not have a form any backup other than redundancy RAID 5 on your PC, you should be OK with the readers of 'consumer' (aka black WD, Hitachi sister, etc.) as opposed to "enterprise" drives for RAID (AKA WE RE3 RE4, Hitachi Ultrastar etc) systems.

    Records of the company are:

    -usually best parts - possibly some companies choose the best boards with defects less for their dearest readers

    -Sometimes a few features that help with vibrations caused by multiple drives in a PC working in tandem

    -almost always a feature that will keep the drive of the company to continue to try to correct any error while reading or writing beyond a certain number of seconds. WD calles this TLER (time limited error recovery);

    I've seen individuals suggesting that setting the spin-up time is increased from the default.7 seconds up to 1 second when you use consumer readers to help prevent consumer drives marked as bad. I did this and I have never had a car abandoned in two years.

    I have about 50% business (RE3 1 TB WD) and about 50% of consumer records (Black 1 TB 32 MB cache) that are very similar, with the exception of the firmware. In two years, I had a bad drive; No data has been lost, performance just the RAID and even that was pretty subtle. And by the way, it was one of the RE3 drives aren't infected, one of consumer readers! When I started with the WD drives, it was possible to download a software and to set the time on consumer drives TLER and gain many of the benefits models company without having to pay for more expensive readers. Then, a year ago WD changed their line WD Black to defeat this utility (it was a utility WD TLER!) to work with their readers of consumers; Yes, their were some upset users on this one!

  • HP ENVY 17-j005tx Notebook PC: network card wireless Intel N 2230 sporadic but recurrent connection Wi Fi problems. Which driver to use?

    I have an old HP Envy computer of 12 months with a 2230 Intel® Centrino® wireless-N wireless adapter.

    In the last 6 months, the PC has suffered sporadic but recurrent problems of WiFi connection with the failure of the connection or drop-outs. The PC connects to the router, but fails to obtain or maintain an IP address. It has been with Intel driver version 15.12.0.6, pilot day February 25, 2014, installed by Windows Update, on June 16, 2014.

    When I contacted HP support on January 9, 2015, I have been instructed to download the software from the HP Web site. This driver has an HP publication date of 1 November 2013 and installed the driver version 15.10.0.12 with a release date of June 25, 2013.

    Updated Windows ran later that day there and I wanted to install the drivers updated Windows 8.1

    • Important update - update the Intel driver for Intel® Centrino® wireless-N 2230 published on 17/10/2013, 2.4 MB
    • Optional update - update the Intel driver for Intel® Centrino® wireless-N 2230 published 07/10/2014, 101.9 MB

    If Windows Update has been set to automatic the provided HP driver would likely have immediately deleted by Microsoft update.

    The Intel Web site offers the 15.14.0.1 or 15.14.0.2 driver version as the last driver for the adapter N-2230 but Intel "recommends obtain you and use the software provided by the manufacturer of your laptop. (even if it's more than a year to date)

    It's very complicated to have the latest version on the Intel site, older versions installed by Microsoft Update and even older versions on the HP website.

    If the user must install the OEM version, how the user to treat Microsoft Update overwriting the OEM version?

    Which driver should be used?

    Why didn't the driver software HP Support was updated to resolve known issues with this wireless card driver?

    HP would provide only a pilot who has been tested on the device that is installed on a particular type of material.

    Intel would release the driver first, but then it would take some time for HP to the test pilot and release it to the public for use on their units. Some customizations can apply in order to get the driver to work on the material.

  • Which driver should be used to connect HP 34401 using RS 232

    Hello

    I'm using labview for the first time. I want to use the RS 232 cable to connect between Labview and HP 34401 multimeter. Which driver should be used for this purpose? Help, please.

    Thanks in advance!

    A search for the HP 34401A on the Instrument Driver Network reveals this page, which should have what you need. If you're using LabVIEW, you will want one of the first two projects.

    Also, for future reference, this board is for NI DMMs. For future instrument driver assistance, you will receive more timely and expert information on NI's Instrument Control forum.
