• Tecra A2 - new drive HARD and have no idea of installing the drivers of Windows XP Home edition

  Hi all, have not been here in a while...

  Where should I start... Have Tecra A2 and the HARD drive died on this issue... was not able to recover whatever it's him so bought a new HARD drive.

  Rather than taking it to a repair shop, I would like to re - install Windows XP myself, save money and have a clean install.

  I know that I have to download the drivers from downloads for Tecra, but haven't a clue as to who and the most appropriate.
  Could someone be so kind and point me in the right direction to get my operating system again?

  Thank you.

• Stop error: 0x0000007b while trying to install Windows XP Home Edition on SATA hard drive.

  Original title: new hard drive Blues.

  got sata disk hard western digital 500 GB installed, I have tried to download winxp home, got a blue screen

  stop: 0x0000007b (0xF78D663c, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000

  I need help

  Hi aqm0207,

  How you try to install Windows XP Home Edition?

  You may receive an error message "Stop 0x0000007B" in the following scenarios:

  (a) a device driver that your computer boot controller needs is not configured to start during the startup process.

  (b) a device driver that needs your computer startup controller is damaged.

  (c) It can also occur if the hard drive in the BIOS configuration is bad.

  You can check if the SATA hard drive is correctly configured in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) & can also update the BIOS. If you are not comfortable to do, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

  Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  You can also check this link:Advanced troubleshooting of errors "Stop 0x0000007B" in Windows XP

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• Tecra S3 - need SATA / RAID driver for installing Windows XP Home edition

  I'm doing a new installation of windows xp on a Toshiba Tecra S3 model PTS30E-0DT03FDU
  Who knows where to find the RAID driver to load when you start the installation of xp?

  This model no longer appears in the driver download section.

  Of course, it is listed by download, but the older models are listed in the ARCHIVES.

  Please visit the download page for Toshiba - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp - once again and the slot type of product choose Archive.

  For Windows XP Home edition, you will find RAID driver for download.
  Can find you it?

• Satellite C660-108 - Windows XP Home Edition does not install

  I try to install Windows XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satellite C660-108, without success.

  I changed the BIOS disk in "Compatibility" mode (what is the same thing as "Legacy IDE"?) by following the instructions on a Yahoo Answers question on the same issue.

  What has improved the situation, in what I now get an error message a few minutes after installing XP said "Starting Windows" instead of immediately after. The error message is the same that I have already received and is as follows:

  "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". "Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D663C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  Thanks in advance for any help,

  Luke

  PS - I'm a mac user and do not have much experience in the use of Windows laptops, so I need instructions spelled out clearly enough if possible.

  The error could be related to drive HARD and the setting in the BIOS of the controller...
  Probably, you need to install Win XP using SATA AHCI mode and to add the driver SATA as described here:

• I installed Windows XP Home Edition. Can not find the wireless network drive

  I installed Windows XP Home Edition on my spare PC.  Now I have wireless network card in the computer and problems to find the drivers for it, and I don't know what brand it is, so I know it's kind of makes it harder too.  Then I also have to start the computer, but if I press F1, the computer starts well

  I was just wondering how can I get rid of this?

  

  Disable all devices that can connect to your router (wired or wireless)...

  • PCs
  • Laptops
  • Tablets
  • Smartphones
  • Smart TV
  • Printers
  • Networked storage
  • Another thing that I have not mentioned above!

  Put on your router and wait for the normal light distribution. Then turn on all devices.

  I hope that your ip address conflict went away. Generally ip conflicts can happen when the router is running again without doing the same with all devices later.

  If you have even an ip address conflict, it is possible that you forgot something above or can someone use your router without your knowledge.

  Your router's wireless network is secure? Ideally with WPA2 encryption?

• I am trying to install Windows XP Home Edition on Xp Pro. How do I?

  I am trying to install Windows XP Home Edition on XP Pro. How do I? I load it in the drive, reboot and it won't work.

  Without going into why you might want to do this, you may access your computer's BIOS and change the order of boot devices so that it looks first at the CD player.  When you start the computer, watch the screen carefully.  There will be a message that says something like, "to change the system settings, press F1.  The exact text, as well as the key, may be different.

  Restart the computer and press the key as soon as you see the message (you'll probably just a few seconds).  Once you are in the BIOS configuration utility, navigate using the arrow keys, the tab and button.  Navigation instructions usually appear at the bottom of each screen.

  Here's a 'how to' with screenshots.  Your computer may not be identical, but this should help you in the right direction: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm

• Can not install the new copy of windows xp home edition

  A friend has built a computer for me and my friend it works for me.  Everything goes ok, then it stops working because the friend has installed a pirated copy of Windows XP Professional on this topic.  OK, I'm a little angry, but I can cope.  I had bought a new copy, never been used before, Windows XP Home Edition a couple of years to my old copy that I ended up not using.  When this happened, I thought it would be great, I could install that.  So, I turn on my new computer and let it boot.  When it comes to the screen, saying that I don't have an authentic copy of Windows installed, I open my CD drive, and then press the button so he can go back into the computer.  I have no mouse or keyboard control so I can't select all and nothing happens after that the disk will inside.  Nothing, I can't even hear anything running.   I would try to solve this problem without having to take Office Depot where they charge me $ 99 for "try" to fix it.  I don't have a job, so fix me it is my only option.  Any help out there in the cyberland?  Thanks for any help.  I'm on my dad's computer if you're wondering how I'm even able to send this way.  Laughing out loud

  I do not understand what you're doing or why nothing seems to happen, but the fundamental question that you have, it's that you cannot "upgrade" from XP Pro to XP Home.

  Assuming you can still start Windows (even if you get the notice that it is not authentic), copy all your data on some external support (external drive, USB flash, CD, DVD) and then perform a new installation of XP Home.  Once Windows is installed, you need to restore these data and you will need to re - install applications (programs) that you have installed (for example, Microsoft Office), so you'll need to find the installation for the applications media.

  Because it is a home-built computer, you must obtain all the necessary drivers on the web sites of various hardware manufacturers.  Most likely you will need are motherboard (chip), display (video), (audio), network (including wireless and modem) and any device (e.g., printers).

  Use the computer that you use to post here in order to download drivers and save them to a flash drive or burn them on a CD.

  I guess that your boyfriend (ex?) didn't give you all the documents with the computer (e.g., the motherboard manual or manuals for other equipment he installed).  If you can enter in your current Windows installation, click Start > run > msinfo32 > OK.  Click on the 'Components' category and look at the different devices to determine their models and manufacturers.  Motherboard information (you need to get the drivers of chip set) is not indicated in msinfo32.  Use BelArc Advisor (free)

  How to do a clean install of XP:

  http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

  Don't forget - when installing from a Windows XP CD, you'll probably not the current service pack (service pack 3) and you will certainly not have current security patches.  You too have an antivirus.  Get instant access to Windows Update (do not go to other websites) and download critical updates.  Probably, this will take time and may require several reboots and go back to Windows Update.  When all updates have been installed, install an antivirus.

  If you are willing to pay for an anti-virus, eSet NOD antivirus (not the "suite").  Otherwise, I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira AntiVir Personal.  At some point after that things are settled down, you should also get the free versions of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware.  You don't need the "pro version" that work all the time; You must only update and run these scanners on a periodic basis just to be sure that you have not picked up a malware that is slipped beyond your anti-virus.

• How to save with pre-installed Windows XP Home edition SP3 but no install disc?

  I want to save data files on desktop with preinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP3.  I don't have access to an installation disc.   How can I get a?

  You don't need a Windows installation CD in order to backup data files.  What makes you think do you?

  [The light bulb turns]: you're probably trying to install NTBackup.  My advice to you is to forget NTBackup and get a disk imaging or cloning application.  I propose the following actions:

  Acronis True Image Home 
  Paragon backup and recovery home
  Casper 6.0
  Norton Ghost (used to be the standard for imaging applications, but I haven't used recent editions; if you really want to use a Symantec product, read the reviews on Amazon)

  If you really want to use NTBackup (worth what you pay for it), see http://www.ihatedroz.com/windows-backup-utility-without-cd

The computer that I'm talking about is 9 years old and is a Toshiba Satellite 1415-S173.

  Hi Bobby Collas,.
   
  You must have a copy of the installation CD without which you can not re - install the OS again.
   
  If it were an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) installation, you can restore the factory settings. Contact the manufacturer to do the same.
   

• Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

  Hello

  I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

  Thank you

  Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support for SP2 is valid until February 26, 2010.

  If you buy a Spanish copy, Yes. If you buy an English dub, no.
  You need ultimate, not Home Premium, change language. And even
