  Windows XP disks are no longer manufactured or sold. You * may * be able to find a place with an old stock for sale, but it is not very likely. Close your only choice is to purchase a used copy somwhere (but I would avoid eBay, where any software you buy is probably hacked).

• How to get Windows XP in case of hard disk crash

  Hi, recently my hard drive got crashed and I lost my original Windows XP that came with my laptop pre-installed. I still have the key of Windows XP with me and I'm the only owner. Is their anyway to get it from Microsoft without any extra cost. Please let me know at * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  on laptops, operating system installation files are located on the hard disk, in a hidden place.

  These installation files can be launched / executed via a procedure known as 'factory restore '.

  a factory restore is then wipe the hard drive and install a fresh copy of the operating system of the manufacturer.

  Depending on the type of 'crash' you committed, you might be able to run a factory restore, but you will lose all your personal files too in the process.

  If the hard disk is still inside the laptop, then go into your mobile home site and look for the model number for instructions on performing a factory restore.

  either way, a hard drive crash is subjective interpretation.

  You may be able to fix it if you can borrow and xp cd from someone "or" via a startup disk that you can do on the internet.

  However, you will need to provide more information on your "crash."

  Have you looked for a bit in the forum for this problem? You will find a large number of threads.

  However, you need the SATA drivers if you are installing your notebook computer with the Microsoft installation disc.
  I put t know what laptop do you have but for laptops equipped with Intel chipset, you need Intel Storage Manager.

  Download the drivers on the Web from Toshiba or Intel site, copy it to an external floppy drive and load it with F6 after booting from the CD.
  Or create you your own installation with nLite [www.nliteos.com] disc.

• Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

  The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

  Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

  Windows XP and earlier versions:

  \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Windows Vista and later:

  \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

• Export the drive letter of windows and vmware number of hard disk in csv format

  Hello

  is there a way to export to CSV, the windows drive letter (c:, d:, e:, etc.) and the number of disk hard vmware ("Disk 1", hard disk 2", etc.) to a csv file?

  Take a look at this document: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-12180

  It is based on the idea of Hugo Peeters', but it uses the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and therefore does not require a network connection to work between the virtual machine and your station PowerCLI.

  Export is sent to the Out-GridView cmdlet, but it can be easily redirected to a CSV file by replacing the line:

  $DiskInfo | Out-GridView

  with:

  $DiskInfo | Export-Csv "C:\Script\VMDiskMapping.csv".

• Windows Vista installation disc: Black screen with a cursor and then nothing happens

  A blue screen appears when I try to start Windows and I'm trying to fix the computer through my installation disc I have. But when I try to run my Vista disk installation happening by loading the files fine. It then shows a black screen with a mouse cursor that moves. After that, nothing happens even if I leave it for hours to sit. It is a real disk Installation of Microsoft for Vista.

  If a clean installation of a real Installation of Vista disc does not work, then you probably have some kind of hardware problem (and the blue screen, you got before makes this even more likely).  You can try to do some troubleshooting on your own hardware, but frankly you probably put "t have tools or spare parts to do very much.  Here are some instructions that may help:http://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot.

  If this does not work, then I suggest that you take it to a repair shop of computer with a good reputation for the service where they can troubleshoot, diagnose, identify and possibly repair or replace the problem.  Before you import it in, I suggest that you protect your important data, as it is likely that they will wipe the hard drive clean in the process.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD.  This should hopefully give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  Otherwise, slave the drive to another computer and copy the data in this way.

  I'm sorry, we can not help more, but from your description there is no option of software if you do not have to do a clean install of an Installation of Vista genuine disc.

  I hope this helps.

• Qosmio X 500/00 X System Recovery (Factory Reset) of hard disk or separate disc

  Hey guys,.

  Looking for your advice and all the links if it is... Congratulations in advance
  
  My Situation

  In December 2009, I bought a Toshiba Qosmio X 500 - model No. PQX33A-00X00J

  At the time, I improved my purchase at Toshiba dealer BD4U, ranging from the standard 1 x 500 GB Sata + 1 x 64 GB SSD... to be rather 2 x 500 GB sata drives. I bought with 3 year next business day warranty onsite, which is is now expired.

  It came loaded with MS Win 7 Premium Home Edition - but not the provided disks.

  My needs
  

  1. I need/want to reset my PC - its starts to run slowly
  2. I need re-partition of my existing 4 x partitions to just have 2

  Questions
  

  1. Perhaps as a result of the upgrade hard drives at the time of the purchase, I don't think I have a hidden partition restore to recover a system from hard disk - see attached image of my current partitions
  2. I have Win 7 OS installation discs or Toshiba Driver like they must have been installed by Toshiba

  My Questions
  

  1. Do you think that I don't have a recovery Partition - looking at the picture of the partition? I'm confused on this point coz say hidden sound!
  2. Given I have no disc Toshiba disk drivers or the operating system Windows 7 - what should I do? I think to download Win 7 (use my sticker under PC product key) and to make a disc/USB (but you have to learn how)
  3. This is where I get all of THE necessary Toshiba drivers for my PC from?
  4. Toshiba provides a link on its site and instructions on where to find Win 7 so that I can make a recovery disk?

  Notes
  Tried to send a Toshiba, but in step 1 of their process e-mail validation failed because my PC is out of warranty so will call Monday for the

  Thank YOU for any help you can give a big small ro

  See you soon

  Hello

  When you buy the new laptop with preinstalled OS (factory settings) original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive. On some older models, it was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive and it was visible in Windows Explorer. Toshiba later saved this recovery image on another hidden partition. This partition was not visible in Windows Explorer, but it is visible in disk management and unregistered.

  With the factory settings, each owner of the laptop is able to create recovery media (DVD) and use it later if HARD recovery disk image installation is not possible. In the user s manuals document described how all this works. Please note: the product key from the sticker belongs to the original version of Windows and cannot be used for activation when you install the version of the OS by using Microsoft disk.

  I can see this recovery partition is not available on your Qosmio laptop and recovery image installation is not possible.
  Now, you have two options:

  Recovery image installation 1 / original
  2 / Windows installation by using the Microsoft installation disc

  If you use option 1 you should try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask if you can order the original installation disc of recovery. Of course, it is easier to have factory again.

  Option 2 is more complicated. You must install the version of the OS and also install all the necessary drivers, tolls and the utilities manually one by one. Download page for each of them you can find on Toshiba (link is the right one).
  It is not so complicated and you can do it alone and we can help you. As I already wrote for the activation of the operating system you need valid product key.

  If you have further questions do not hesitate to ask.

• Windows 7 installation disc

  I was looking for a link to download the iso of windows 7 to create a Setup disk.

  I've failed so far.

  Inspiron 660

  The problem is that Microsoft has broken the Digital Distribution of Windows 7 and replaced it with the software recovery tool Microsoft does not work. There is no way to download a file to the Dell OEM of Windows 7 license .iso image.

  If you work the factory settings, you can create recovery media using Dell backup and restoration as demonstrated here:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/Dell-backup-and-recovery/

  Factory settings are not equivalent to a clean install, but when Windows 10 came out in late summer (which is a free update for users of Windows 7) a .iso should be provided for any new installation.

  

  Otherwise, as you are in the United States. If your system is under warranty you can get Dell installation media will:

  www.Dell.com/recoverymedia

  Unfortunately, most of the systems of Windows 7 will have expired warranty, and Dell are makes them difficult to obtain the installation simply media due to the policy of Microsoft.
