• Issue of license with Windows XP, a lost key and lost disk.

  I work in a church in trying to ensure that all of our licenses are legal. A few years back our Windows XP Professional and our key to Windows XP install disk have disappeared. People at that time here downloaded a copy of the internet and used a key found on the internet. Not a key that we purchased. There is always an invoice for this computer. He wasn't able to pass Windows Genuine tests. My question is, is it legal to install like this. After all, we had a license appropriate at a given time. What problems of license failed us by doing this?

  Assuming that the company that made this PC for the Church still exists and keep good records, and did not use a version without Windows license in the first place (you say you had "a good license" at the same time), you can contact the company for the correct XP Pro installation media and the right corresponding to the product key.

  If this isn't the case, you will need to purchase a legitimate copy of Windows XP Pro, which can be difficult or expensive since it is no longer available for sale through traditional channels.

  If the PC is not old and is able to run Windows 7, it is an option, too.

• HP ZBook G14 2: upgrade to Windows 8, Windows 7, no disk drive

  I ordered my ZBook on May 26, 2015. It was supposed to have Windows 8.1 Pro pre-installed on it (she has even the Windows 8 sticker on the bottom), but the vehicle currently has Windows 7 above. It also came with Windows 8 recovery disks, which I predicted on use. The problem with this, however, is that the ZBook is not a drive disc, all rendering useless CDs. I want to upgrade to 8.1 Windows as was announced without inurring no additional cost. Any advice?

  If you paid for a new system that is supposed to have win 8.1 on it, and you Win 7 instead, you should be able to (at least) a free upgrade to Win 8.1, if not provided on USB is not a replacement with 8.1 model installed at the factory.

  Contact HP support and give them the details. You should not expect to pay more if it was their mistake.

• Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume, because it is write protected.

  I can't get the start menu appears in safe mode then I have botted on a cd with the command prompt and when I type chkdsk/r, so, it gives me "windows cannot run disk checkingo n this volume because it is write protected."  Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this?

  If you encounter a problem that you need help, follow these steps:

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What you see you don't think you need to see?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  Fill in the blank: my system worked well until: _.

  If you just want to start by running chkdsk /r on your hard drive (a good idea), I would follow the instructions below:

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix all the problems.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the command prompt.

  Start by checking the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

  I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!
