• Preferred Windows - USB or disc?

  I have just been offered a copy of my OEM Windows Installer from Dell, and they gave me the choice between USB or disk...

  For the life of me I can't decide which would be better, or why...

  Any thoughts?

  I intend to clear my machine - I'm less likely to encounter problems starting with one over the other?

  I just wanted to make an informed decision, rather than a coincidence... :-)

  Thank you!

  Download one or the other. You can make as many copies of it (for your own use)
  as you wish. More than one is good for backup. And you can copy from
  one medium to another.

  Hello

  As far as I know that booting from USB stick or HARD drive is not supported by the BIOS for this series of mobile.
  As far as I know you can boot from the HARD, ODD, LAN and USB FDD (floppy) disk, but I think that you can not boot from USB HDD.

  See you soon

• AC2400 (E8350) router cannot map USB hard drive in Windows network.

  Hi all

  I recently bought the Linksys AC2400 wireless router and a USB 3 Western Digital Elements 2 TB hard drive.

  The network works perfectly, except for the USB hard drive. The firmware on the router recognizes it okay, but in the windows network, I can't access your hard drive. I simply get a path not found error.

  I tried:

  Y access inside or outside Windows Homegroup.

  -Re - formatting in the linksys configuration (Fat32... There is room for improvement)

  -Test the USB drive directly into the PC, works perfectly and formatted in NTFS.

  -Turn off all firewalls.

  -Tried the port USB2/Esata instead of the USB3

  Also, from another computer on the network, I get the same error.

  Pre-installed on the hard drive was a mediaserver program called Twonky. He wants autoconnet to my router using port 9000, but the web interface I get then does nothing. Also when I enable the mediaserver configuration linksys website, he created a mediaserver in windows network, wth pilots twonk. But I can't change that.

  When I test the ftp server, I had access to the hard drive without any problem. This suggests that it is not a compatibility problem.

  I could also map the Windows ftp server, but that does not work on my mediaplayer, I need for this network interface.

  Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong and why windows is unable to connect to your hard drive?

  I didn't install the new version of firmware, because the changelog mentions nothing about the functions of the USB or storage.

  I've added a few photos with the settings, it could be useful.

  THX in advance for any response.

• How to make a USB bootable rKill and manage to get a copy of a Windows Vista repair disc?

  I had a Trojan horse, don't know what kind of Trojan horse, but a Trojan none-the-less. Now I would like to repair vista, like you used to be able to repair XP with a disc. First of all, I would like to remove completely all the malware from my computer, BUT, I need rKill to kill all processes that can be associated viruses.

  So, nobody knows how to create a disk bootable rKill (that there not using Solution Explorer, the [portable] mouse pad)
  Also I need a copy of the ERD for vista please, don't know where to find one, but it would be nice to have one standby.
  Thank you.

  How to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  I have a drive external hard Iomega LDHD-UP that I want to connect to my Airport Extreme (running the 7.6.4)... version but I can't seem to do.)

  Currently, the airport is set up as a bridge to my Verizon Fios router.  It all works very well.

  The instructions from Apple don't seem to help me, because I do not have "Airport disk utility" - only "Airport utility" - and I'm hit a roadblock there.

  Normally, I can understand something like this, I thought I would ask for help rather than making circles for another hour.

  Any advice?  Thank you.

  OK, so I read all the info in this article,where to get the Airport disk utility >

• Caught a virus. Want to just erase the HD and reinstall. Cannot get Windows original XP discs do. Help?

  Click son on some site that I can download a Trojan horse.  Disabled Malwarebytes and AVG update did not find. Saved that I need and now want to erase the hd and reinstall.  Cannot get computer to read what whatsoever. I myself once in safe mode, but now it tells me that it cannot find a hard disk.  I can refer to boot from the CD drive, but it gives me a blue screen error "cannot find a hard disk. Any help?

  Your computer most likely has SATA drive and the Windows XP installation disc does not include the SATA controller drivers so Setup can not 'see' the hard drive.  You have several options:

  1. to detect the drive, you must use the F6 method to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, note that when you use the F6 method, the pilots MUST be provided on a diskette, the installation program will not accept the drivers from other media sources.

  Adding third-party or updated during the installation of Windows driver
  Mass storage drivers and the Setup process

  2. you can integrate the drivers into your installation CD:

  3. you can go into the BIOS and change the SATA controller in IDE mode and the Windows Installer will be able to detect the drive.  Most of the BIOS have this option is available, if you don't you will need to use option 1 or 2 above.

• Is someone can you please tell me how I can get a windows XP installation disc?

  I have an old computer with windows XP that crashed recently. The thing is that when I bought the computer, it did not come with an XP Setup disk. So can someone please tell me how I can get a windows XP installation disc? I tried several ways to fix the computer. I installed a hard drive with win98 and tried to recover my files. Also, I deleted the original hard drive and installed win98 to try to connect to the internet so I could install Ubuntu or Pandora.

  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).
