  Windows 8 Pro with the media library is enabled, and the watermark is still visible

  Hi all

  I have recently opted for the offer to upgrade to Windows Media Center from Microsoft and everything is is well spent, I had my product key, installed library and all was good with all countries, UNTIL I noticed that the watermark from Windows 8 is now visible saying '\n Mode Test Windows 8 Build 9200 of Pro with Media Center \n ".

  Once again that Windows is activated like her, and I quote "Windows is activated".

  Help please

  Aiden

  Open the command prompt (Admin) and then enter:

  bcdedit/set testsigning

  Now restart your computer and the watermark will disappear.

  The test mode is for test drivers. You have probably run Windows Experience Index.

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• After the installation of Windows Vista, I get this error: winload.exe tries to load a 64-bit application, but this processor is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.

  Hello

  Do a clean install of XP with the XP disk provided by Dell, if you.

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/instxpclean1.htm

  If you do not have your XP disk, you can contact Dell and ask them to send you a XP disc.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the order of startup and startup disk:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Vista installation was able to destroy this option of relocation:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall XP back on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  A Dell must rely on Ctrl + F11 at STARTUP to reinstall XP

• Win2K8 - this processor is not compatible with the 64-bit mode

  This is my first shot to create a virtual machine VMware

  We just got a new server in a data center

  Its windows 2008 Server. (the 64-bit version)

  My plan is to run a Server 2008 ontop of a host of Server 2008 virtual machine

  First I used a converter for P2V - this bit has been successful, so basically I took a picture of the host and converted to a Virtual Machine.

  I put the image to use 1 core of the dual core CPU and the memory (4gig) half and half of disk space on drive D (50 GB)

  Then I installed virtual server 2, and any

  Then I installed the thing that makes you see the window in Internet Explorer (some may be active x thing?)

  In any case, at the time of starting the server VM, I get the message:

  -

  Windows Boot Manager

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to solve the problem:

  1. Insert your windows installation disc, and then restart your computer

  2. choose your language settings

  3. click on repair your computer

  If you do not have the disk contact sys admin...

  Info: attempt to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.

  I'm a little confused on this, the server is located in a datacenter somewhere and I don't think that the CD option is viable, because they will probably be responsible for a lot of things to do

  Any ideas what I should try?

  the cpu is 64-bit but because I split at the image, I'm not sure if that is break things

  Any advice appreciated

  Thank you

  You can run virtual servers, they simply can be 64-bit because your processor doesn't support VT

• Cannot repair Windows XP Pro with MS. original disc This is SP2 and SP3 system level.

  I moved my a new motherboard boot drive and need to clean up the mistakes.  I was not able to repair or install a new system of my
  original disc.  I installed a 3rd party PCI to IDE 2 channel for the disk controller.  There is no drive floppy or IDE interface on the new Board of Directors.
  I installed the driver before moving the drive because it was the only way to get the drive to boot IDE.
  It works fine except the occasional freeze on the internet.  I don't know that I have a few tips in the registry or possibly missing files.
  I've updated my system to a Pentium III processor i5-3550.  Memory max on old Board has 512 MB and new one is now up to 4 GB with room for 32 GB.
  Can I buy a new drive to install Windows XP Pro to the last level, or there at - there a way around this problem?

  Should I turn off my Anti virus software is what could be stopping my updates? some sites would sugest that I use Kaspersky 2012, if that's the case, then why do all my other programs that are installed to date OK?

  Hello

  Check your level of service current pack...

  • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
  • Examine what is listed in the system: section

  If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

  .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.

  Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

  For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

  So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.
