Windows XP (Home) - I can reinstall back the OS to another hard drive?

Hello

Previously, I was using Window XP on the other PC. However, the disk only recently and I send for repair.

The seller is going to replace it with a hard drive of 'second hand '. She who had the drive has someone OS, can I know if I can insert my XP OS disk to replace the BONES of someone. My OS is genuine MS OS, otherwise I'll miss the updates to the window.

Thank you

Low

Yes, you can use your XP operating system CD to install Windows on drive second hand.

Second, I can open a .jpeg file and use the Photoshop software and I can save the changes, but when I turn off my calculated the software doesn't seem to be on my computer. When I go to Windows ' search program and files "software is not located here. When I go to "Uninstall" the software of the foldername is there it is. "Photoshop CS3" but there isn't any size file to it IE 400 MB, while my software "Lightroom" on the 'uninstall' section will have a file for example size 400 MB tied to it. Thirdly, I also have a photosoftware of B + W, which operated in Photoshop; It's "NIK software - Silver Efex Pro" and it is located in the subtitle of 'filter' of Photoshop CS3. I use Silver Efex and all functions are working properly, but I can't save the file, it does not save the changes to save.

  • Can I put the 80 GB of HARD drive in an Apple MacBook A1181

    Hi people

    I have the opportunity of buying one handed to nine computer 80 GB Apple MacBook A1181 laptop at a very good price (to replace a broken ASUS eee PC if someone asks why).

    In the MacBook HARD drive is 80 GB.  It is (apparently) running Mac OS x 10.7 Lion

    It's an easy task to do the following:

    (a) replace the 80 GB HARD drive with a larger - eg 500 GB

    (b) install Windows 7 (running under Bootcamp)?

    (c) install Microsoft Office 2010 (for Windows) - I have the installation discs

    If so, can someone explain HOW (knowing that I'm a Windows user in the long run, but did not use the MacBook/Macs)

    Also, if the battery does not charge, it's (relatively) easy to replace work or not?

    Thanks in advance (and Happy New Year)

    RB

    Yes, it's a relatively easy job to do, but it is worth to upgrade a macbook from 2007? It's a very old machine and it may not last that long. I would not recommend it.

    However.

    It is easy to replace the hard drive. https://www.iFixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+Duo+hard+drive+replacement/282

    Installation of bootcamp is also pretty simple before installation of Windows 7 and previous versions on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support (Please note that you will need a 32-bit version of windows 7)

    Battery can be changed easy super. You only need a coin to do.

    still more mac differs from windows because it is more pre-defined and settings are located a little differently. Also, everything you do with control is now in the order (so cmd + C and cmd + V).

    Conclusion: Yes, you can use the macbook that you could buy, but you must consider the costs of the upgrade (you will most likely need more RAM to run any programs so our) and how long you plan to use this laptop.

    See you soon!

  • How can I recover the files of failed hard drive

    Hello

    Apparently, my hard drive failed on my HP.  I'm running Windows XP with the latest service pack.
    I get a black screen that says "disk error, press ctrl + atl + del to restart".
    Given that it is a 7 year old computer, I don't see the need to put a lot of effort in intensive care there.
    But I would like to get some of the files on the hard drive.
    Can anyone suggest a way to access the contents of the hard drive?  I would like to get some Word, excel, PDF files.  Nothing major.
    Thank you
    AS

    Hello

    If the drive has indeed failed then you need professional services which are very expensive. Best
    method would be to contact your local computer store, the other his own service in-house, and have
    check out them the disc. Eventually, they can recover your files and they know all local professional
    services available in your area.

    A professional collection agency is Kroll OnTrack. Others are using Bing or Google.

  • Satellite A35-S159 - can I upgrade the CPU, GPU and HARD drive?

    Hey

    I have one in my possession and I wanted to make a good game.

    I don't know if I'll be able to cause. It hurts thinking may be able to put a processor duo or quad, and I do not know if the CPU will be able to support a really good graphics card, and I also think about changing hard drive.

    Any1 know what hard drives are compatible with what I can use which are good for games?

    Hello!

    I m wondering that you want to upgrade this old notebook. In my view, that a new laptop would be a better solution.

    On the CPU and GPU upgrade I can only say s is not possible and not Toshiba support. The GPU is soldered on the motherboard and t can be exchanged.
    I think you should read this: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    The HARD drive can be upgraded. This isn t a problem.
    AFAIK the A35 Satellite is equipped with a s IDE HDD and this means that you buy a drive HARD IDE interface up to 128 GB.

  • Transfer the information to another hard drive

    # 1 I am operating Windows xp pro and you want to add an additional hard drive. I would like to transfer all the data to the new hard drive. Is it possible to copy data from the old to the new drive without transferring the operating system? I want to format the old drive and reuse, but I don't want to lose all data.

    I'm not very smart computing and would like any help I can get.

    #2 I would like to install the new operating system on a partition itself, is it possible? How can I do this?

    I don't have a rw drive, I have a dvd drive and a floppy drive.

    I run a computer HP xw4100 with 1.5 GB of memory, Windows xp pro sp3-operating system.

    Thanks for the help.

    [email protected]

    I note you have a desktop computer and you have posted this in a forum of the laptop, but I think I can help you. Here's the Quickspecs, incidentally:

    http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/11604_na/11604_na.html

    With a desktop computer (even a workstation like yours), it is much easier than with a laptop. Just put in the new drive (I guess you understand jumpering with drives ATA/IDE and ID devices if you're dependencies a scsi disk) and format from Windows XP. Now copy the data you want to save on the new disk. You won't be able to separate programs on the new drive if that's what you had in mind. just data files. For example, you can put all your Powerpoint presentations on the new disk, but you cannot move MS Office there. It is linked in the BONE and must be reinstalled.

    If you want to be sure just copy everything except the Windows folder and the Program Files folder to the new drive.

    Yes, you can install all the operating system on its own partition, but be careful to choose to install the new software on another drive top and you may want to move my Documents on the second drive for example. This will keep the data and the separate operating system, which is what I assume you want to accomplish. Let us know if you need help here.

    During the installation of Windows XP, you can create partitions and choose which use the partition to the OS.
