• Windows Vista install the new WD hard drive empty - does not not :(

  It was my original question: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/HP-Pavillion-a6645f-No-hard-drive-detected-BIOHD-2-err...

  And now...

  I got my CD of HP recovery and ordered a new WD 500 GB HDD... same features as the seagate who pooped me and I can't get windows install on the new HD

  No matter what I do, computer wants to open the Recovery Manager and according to the available procedure does not work.  It works me in circles asking for #1 drive, then the drive recovery supplement and back with no progress.

  What I have to do is use this form: http://vistahomepremium.windowsreinstall.com/installnewhdd/installnewhdd.htm but only the Recovery manager opens when I boot from the CD.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  If I followed your questions correctly... you had a BIOHD-2 error, ordered HP recovery discs, replaced the hard drive and tried to restore your system with no luck. Is that a correct assessment of the situation?

  OK, you need to make a Windows Vista install screen... not who's going to go with your HP recovery CD/DVD. The disks do not contain the Windows installation routine, only the HP Recovery Manager. These discs contain more or less, an image of the HP installed OS and software, plus some drivers and applications. To the best of my knowledge, you should have three DVDs (1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3/3) more an additional drive. You should boot from CD 1 of 3... Then, when asked to insert the 2/3... Then, when asked to insert 3/3. And finally if/when necessary additional drive.

  Hi Gordon

  I just downloaded drivers from the Dell website in support of xp

  I have tried to reboot from the XP cd but got the following message when I tried to install

  "This program is blocked due to compatibility issues"

  Program - the installer of Windows

  Editor - Microsoft

  Location: D:\1386\winnt32.exe

  Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the cd. If you decide to remove the version latest Windows that is currently installed the files and settings cannot be recovered"

  I don't want Windows 7 at all so I'm ready to lose all data, so how can I do to remove it?

  You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
  you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a
  clean install. A new installation by formatting the
  drive and does not care what version of Windows is installed (or
  even if any version of Windows is installed.

• Windows Vista Business still don't not patched with SP1 via auto-mises to update or manual updates

  Our laptop Fujitsu is installed with Windows Vista Business. We have been used for about 1 year more, get the updates via automatic updates.

  I read that Vista has up to SP2. But check the details of the system shows that no service pack has been applied. So I trigger the update via IE-> tools-> Windows Update. He said that "no important updates available.

  I think that when you apply SP1, it will move from IE7 to IE8. So, we still have IE7.

  Why the service pack is not available for our case?

  Kind regards
  Ben

  A1. Yes.

  A2. You are 'safe' for now, as long as the computer kept fully patched to Windows Update otherwise. That being said, there will come a time in the not-too-distant that a computer without SP1 installed will not offer still updates all founded. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

• Windows Vista, installed McAfee AV 2012, will activate, McAfee said it's a windows problem

  Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, running IE 8, had installed IE 9 but McAfee said they had problems under IE 9. Have executed APPREMOVER and cleaned all security software. Have installed McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012, but cannot activate it?

  Any reason, you must use McAfee? I bought three computers with McAfee already installed, and the first thing I do is get this crapware off my machine. I would never use the programs made by McAfee or Norton.
   
  Norton and McAfee are the two least friendly Windows security and swine resource to start programs. My ISP offers the McAfee security suite for free and I refuse to use it.
   
  I used to use Avast in conjunction with Windows Defender, (still a decent option), but since MSE became of age, I have used which. MSE is an anti-virus, Anti-Spyware and Anti-Malware program all in one. IMO, it is a program MS got it wrong. And all of these options are freeware.
   
  If you choose to give it a try, download and save the MSE. Remove McAfee and install MSE.
