Why an installation of XP on a Tecra S1 takes so long?

Hi all
Just bought a computer laptop tecra S1 hand 2nd off ebay. The hard drive didn't work more to have bought another and I'm trying to do a clean install of windows xp. I've done it before on many desktop computers, but never on a laptop. The installation takes a long time - so far, happened for 13 hours. It goes along, but I don't understand why it takes this time... Normally on a desktop computer it would take me an hour approximately. I do the same as you would for a clean installation on a new hard drive to a desktop computer. Any ideas why it takes so long?

Hello

Have you installed the HARD drive compatible and fully supported?
I put t think because the installation should run a lot faster. 13 hours is amazing!

  • J6450 software installation takes a long time.

    Hello

    I install the software for J6450 all-in-one on a Windows XP SP3 laptop.  I first tried to install from the CD supplied with the printer.  The progress bar shows 5% after 2 hours, 15% after 5 hours and 25% after more than 24 hours.  I gave up at that time.  The laptop is a high end machine, so the speed of the system is not a problem.

    Now, I downloaded the latest version of the software package and the driver from the HP website and try to install again.  After waiting for 4 hours, the progress bar is still 15%.   (The laptop has McAfee virus scanner.)  I don't think that it does not block the installation software.  At least that I saw all the messages saying that it doesn't block.)

    It's frustrating.  Can anyone help please?  This will never end?  Why does it take so long on a fast machine?  Is that what I can do to speed it up.

    Thank you.

    That did not help.

    However, the problem is now resolved.  What I did was to follow the installation instructions on http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00836418&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodSeriesId=3635376&prodTypeId=18972&docLang=en and that did the trick.   Note that my printer is on a wireless network, but still this procedure (uninstall of level 3, disk cleanup, turn off virusscanner, selective startup and install the software) worked.

    Thank you.

  • Custom installation of Windows 7 Pro takes too long

    Well, last night I was installing Windows 10, where first steps easily on the past, as in 30 minutes the computer rebooted and reached the point of preparation, with pimples circling above the line. But in the meantime Windows to boot completely, thinking that it won't be more than a few minutes, leave the laptop on battery, I fell asleep, as I was so tired. I woke up this morning to find the computer turned off. I started it. Dotted circles appeared and after some time the dialog box, to show something like "computer is suddenly off, so that Windows cannot continue the installation.

    No problem, I thought, however feel bad.

    • I restarted the facility, the same box appeared.
    • I took the car and formatted the 469 GB primary partition, formatted the partition, MBR, revived the installation, the installation process ran more slowly than ever, everything as it was when I tried to install Windows 7.
    • I took out the disc and deleted all the partitions by using the Partition Wizard, revived the installation, the same. horribly slow. Now more than an hour has passed, and he exceeded not copy files.

    I try to keep my wits about me, as I wonder whatever happens, whatever the change, happens to the configuration of the hard disk!

    I would really appreciate if someone told me exactly how to prepare a hard drive for the custom, clean installation of Windows?

    • Here, I created a partition MBR before or during installation?
    • If Yes, then what is the size? (I think that 100 MB is standard)
    • If so, then in NTFS or FAT32?

    I can't really understand why the installation process changes the way it works.

    Is it possible that the information are rewritten on the installation media to cause this?

    I'm asking questions, but I am open to any suggestions!

    Thank you

    You confuse the Master Boot Record (MBR): https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc976786.aspx

    with a score, they are not the same.

    A new fresh out of the box has no MBR and no partitions. Connect it to your computer as a second drive and you will be prompted to 'Initialize' the reader. Initialization creates the Master Boot Record (but not partitions). When you install Windows partitions (C: Windows and system partitions are created). The system partition is for Windows 7 150 MB (very small partition that contains data for Startup Configuration that needs to load Windows), the Windows C: partition occupies the space remaining on your hard drive. The exceptions are HP, Dell factory installed systems, Etc. which additional scores.

    So if you want to start again simply remove all the partitions that Windows created 10, the Master boot Record (MBR) will remain in the tack room.

  • Visual Studio 2008 Pro takes a long time to start after the installation of measurement Studio 2009

    After installing Measurement Studio 2009, I noticed that it takes a long time (30-60 seconds) to open a Visual Studio project.

    I do not have an internet connection on my development computer and suspect he might be waiting on some kind of operation of the network to time out.  I had problems with Visual Studio in the past as well and had to work around them by adding entries to my hosts file (to redirect some addresses of Microsoft to the local IP address - this causes network operations to expire immediately).

    Just curious if anyone has encountered this kind of slow startup time and found a solution.

    Thank you!

    You should take a look at your startup programs and decide what is really necessary and what is nothing more than useless clutter. There is nothing wrong with the startup programs, some may be really useful or even necessary for your personal needs. But keep in mind that many programs build to start when you start the computer and that most of them must not start when the computer starts, all they do is slow down your boot time and clutter of things when you're trying to solve problems, and some are downright harmful!

    I mean, have you really need things like real Planner and Gadwin Print Screen running all the time? These programs will run very well, even if they are not started automatically every time that you start the computer. Go to these programs and change/disable their boot option. Some may be difficult to kill for public assistance services can be useful when you try to control startup programs. Try CodeStuff Starter, it's safe and easy to use, I think you'll like it, download it here:

    http://CodeStuff.tripod.com/products_starter.html>

    Use AutoRuns to check axis start, Richard:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx>

    Use Cclenar-> tools-> start

    http://www.CCleaner.com/download/builds.aspx>

    I can't tell you what to keep, startup items it is a personal preference, but pretty well all the startup items indicated by CodeStuff Starter are safe to disable, and changes are easy to reverse if you change your mind. Searches for items it shows you and decide whether or not these things are really useful or necessary. Some programs will be started at startup without your knowledge and over time, that list can expand to include useless parasites, part of good computer maintenance includes regular control of these startup items and the removal of the unnecessary.

    Suggest that you first spread malware as the cause of the problem by following these steps:

    I. - delete your temporary files

    Clean the system (compensation to all temp/tmp folders and included all the content offline, the tif browser, delete the cookies of compensation.)

    Do a disk cleanup. Click the Start button. in the search box, type disk cleanupand then in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup. Better and easier to use - ccleaner.

    Download the basic version (slim) via

    http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner/builds>

    The basic version (slim) does not contain the toolbar disgusted

    DO NOT USE ANY cleaning of the advanced options. DO NOT TOUCH THE REGISTRY OR TOOLS. At least not for now.

    Reset

    II. - have your system scanned as a result of security/antivirus installed.

    III. - download, install, update and run both of these tools to a-squared free scans:

    Hello

    I live in France and I have the same problem with the Xperia for Windows companion software. I bought the new XA Xperia a week ago. I connected with USB on my computer, I started companion Xperia and I launched the backup point. I selected all the boxes (documents, contacts, photos, videos, music). The backup process took several hours (4 hours precisely) and stopped at about 50% without any error message. So I cancelled the process of backup at this stage.

    I tried a new backup process by selecting only 'music' backup piece (I 314 music this cost 1.3 GB on the Xperia XA) and here, it worked and the backup process took about 5 minutes and finished.

    So, there's a big problem with the companion software when all the boxes of the savepoint are checked.

    I contacted Xperia Care France and Xperia care told me this very short message: "(1) (download the software companion Xperia 2) (plug the Xperia XA your computer 3) launch of the companion software and follow instructions on the companion show...» »

    For example, to get help, I write this message on this forum for Xperia. Please help me or tell me which Android App that I can use to back up my data (contacts, documents, settings, photos, music, videos).
