• Incorrect Windows XP Pro system allocation of boot drive

  I have a friend coming to rebuild a Dell PC with Windows XP Pro, number of hours I mean, reinstall XP Pro from scratch, updating the version with all updates and you know how much time that takes, all is well with one exception, for some reason, the system startup disk is "F". , instead of 'C '. Is there a method to rename the startup drive 'F' to 'C' system, without rebuilding the box?

  Lol your friend must have had other drives connected to the computer when he reinstalled Windows. There is no real problem with XP being on F: instead of C:, but if it bothers him, he will need to reinstall Windows in order to change the designation of your startup disk.

• Can't access BIOS laptop Windows XP Pro system, because it is secured by an unknown administrator password.

  I bought a laptop Compaq Presario X 1000 Goodwill Industries. It has Windows XP Pro installed and is secured by an unknown administrator password. When I try to access the system BIOS at startup, it calls the administrator password and denies access. How can I remove this password for the BIOS settings? Everything I've tried so far has failed. Please notify.

  If you're at it, you could open the laptop and find the BIOS battery - I think that if you remove for about 15 minutes, and that should reset the BIOS.

• Windows 2000 Pro system/disk physical conversion into virtual machine

  Fairly new to the world of the VM and was directed to VMWare for possibly a problem for us.

  We have a gentleman with an older system running Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) with a ton of software installed.  We put in place a new Win7 Pro system for him, but he won't Cross and reinstall everything (in addition to the time involved, some of the software is older and Win7 compatibility is probably a problem).

  We were originally at a switch KVM allows you to switch between systems, but then I found in the converter and thought this would be a great solution for him.  My thoughts are to use the converter to create a virtual machine from its old system/hard drive and install Player on its new Win7 system, it can fire up to his old Win2000 environment when he needs to work - and we can empty the old physical system.

  I have scanned through the documentation for converter and understood that I would need a version of Converter before 4.3 (like, 4.01 or earlier?).  Now, what should I install on it have to happen?

  Do I need to set permissions on its legacy system to expose the discs on the network?

  Can I get the old HD and connect it to the new system and convert this way?

  Do I need to install something on the source and the host system to do this?

  Once I can understand this point, we may need to conduct a number of other older systems, it keeps alive for the same reasons.

  I guess I should ask first - is that what this application is designed to do?  Or it fits into another software solution?

  Thank you very much for any information/guidance someone can provide - greatly appreciated.

  (PS.  Please don't just live/link me to the documentation.  As mentioned, I went through that, and I'm not real familiar with the setting/process, so that really helped a lot.  Thank you once again.)

  VHDs are used by VirtualBox and VirtualPC
  VMware uses the vmdk files

  You start converter on the Win2000 and tell him to "convert THIS machine.
  It then creates a vmx file plus a vmdk file.

  On the Win7 host you install VMplayer or workstation, and then simply double-click the vmx file... If everything works as expected

• Palm TX 32 bit Windows 7 Pro of XP Update: use XP mode? Or Win 7?

  I'm really good at making fatal mistakes with technology and my Palm is too critical to risk, so I bought a portable 32-bit, Windows 7 pro and XP mode installed.

  I've scoured the forums, but all I can find are problems/solutions with 64 bit (which is what scares me in the first place, of course).

  First of all, I should install in XP mode?  Or install Win 7 on a 32-bit computer will go smoothly?

  Secondly, can I use my original disc with the 4.2 version of Palm Desktop?

  Finally, for my peace of mind, you kindly check my checklist of errors, omissions or dangerous areas.

  (1) synch the device from Palm desktop

  (2) backup on my SDCard with NVBackup

  (3) open the XP mode - or do not open XP mode as you recommend

  (4) install Palm desktop (disc or download that recommend)

  (5) enter the same username as on the device / xp computers

  (6) change in Organizer substitute Office

  (7) with the sync cable. Make tea. Be calm.

  (8) check data on handheld and the desktop to find errors.

  (9) when somewhat confident everything goes well, return led to synchronize except for stays of backup as handheld overrides desktop. (not sure why, but it's the default I guess.)

  Thank you

  Off the hook

  SUCCESS!

  Thank you all very much. I danced around the kitchen.

  I had a few problems, and that means a question.

  After installation I plugged the cable in and upward jumped a box "Installing the driver software" telling me "software device driver was not installed successfully. I thought it was over, and that's my question. What does that mean? Because the next thing that happened, thought I had nothing to lose but hope, I tried a synch, and incredibly, it worked. I made a small change in the calendar and it synchronized at the back of the unit.

  He also tells me there is a problem with the quick installation then took me to do nothing.

  In addition, in case it might help someone, disable UAC in Win7 is slightly different from that of Vista. Go to "edit your user account settings" and set the cursor to "Don't warn.  At this time, I went on the internet for security. And it's a little annoying, because after that you have to restart the computer. And when HotSync is done, you go back to the control panel and restart and then restart.

  WyreNut, I smiled when I saw your post.  I always assumes that the volunteers on the technology forums (which, in a just world, would be paid buckets of moolah for their help) are early and that you would be all Win8 (and the curse, I suppose). But I guess that help you here because if something works (such as Palm) why spend.

  I kudo has you all and would buy you champagne if I could.

  Confused, but less.

• Creating Windows 2000 Pro VM Media update?

  Greetings,

  I have Windows 2000 Professional upgrade installation disc, the drive SP4. I tried to install from the disc of Windows 2000, which is an upgrade, but cannot get the program to recognize a number of previous versions. Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, even a start HP Vectra 500 product recovery CD which was the initial purchase. All legal upgrades. I tried all the previous albums in both the CD where I installed W2k and from another CD on the same machine, all got the same answer, which was that the disc cannot be read.

  It's a question that I have found no information on the abandonment of a new configuration of the machine. No option in the program to delete a virtual machine. Nothing that I could find in the manual on the failure index settles; or remove VMs. in addition the virtual screen would not hear my F3 or ESC. Finally, I deleted the list of "Favorets" closed the program and delete the VM installation folder. " I hope that I have not tested things upwards, and I would be happy to know what I should have done.

  I had no problem installing Windows 2000 on a real computer. And executed him on another computer right now several generations of the original HP Vectra 500.

  Next attempt was to try to install the beginning with the SP4 disk to see if it will be happy with the upgrade disk to check. Of course, it did not work.

  I then tried to install update for Win 98 and Win 95 thinking about upgrading, but the screen did not recognize any OS on the disks while the workstation saw them in both cases.

  I remember I have a fresh install of W2k on a scsi disk and I could do a new installation on the other machine as a BONE double fake. So I guess the question is: is it possible to use this version to install the virtual machine? Copy the installation so that iso? Import in some way?

  It is important that I get a w2k system that works on my system see: W7 64-bit with hardware that won't allow installation of w2k.

  To answer the easy question first. To remove a virtual computer, simply to click with the right button on the VM in the Favorites and select "remove disc.

  Now to your question with the installation. Try to follow these steps:

  create a new virtual machine and make sure that you specify "I will install the operating system later.

  • power on the virtual machine (it should boot to the PXE boot screen) and let it powerd on
  • connect the CD or an ISO on the virtual CD-ROM drive
  • Click the virtual machine screen and warm starting the virtual machine (CTRL-ALT-INS)

  If you're fast enough you can also press 'ESC' once, while you see the white progress at the bottom of the screen, bar to access the start menu.

• Windows 8 people's Republic of CHINA (unilingual OEM version in simplified Chinese) can be upgraded to Windows 8 Pro * full * English?

  I bought a Dell XPS One 2710 in China that came pre-installed with Windows 8 RPC. It seems that it is a unique language locked in simplified Chinese version.

  The standard procedure to add another language changes only partially certain interfaces of applications in English, but the operating system is always in Chinese.

  I think so

  1 - is the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with Windows 8 Pro Pack as described here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs

  2 - or buy a Windows 8 Pro System Builder and just reinstall

  Solution 1 is my favorite option, I want to keep the existing configuration and the Dell applications.

  Does anyone have experience making 1 or 2?

  Thank you.

  You should upgrade to Windows 8 Pro in Chinese, then you can download the English Language Pack for free:

  To the top of Windows 8 for Windows 8 Pro:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/feature-packs

  Language packs are available for Windows 8 and for Windows RT

  Thank you Andre, everything is now in English!

  For all the foreigners living in China who want to have Windows 8 English I highly recommend to do as described below. It will add the cost of a license of Windows 8 Pro Pack, but will save you hours of waiting, of discussions, resettlement and uncertainty.

  Windows 8 CPP that comes pre-installed on all computers OEM in China is locked with simplified Chinese only to the language of the OS.

  You can buy Windows 8 Pro Pack, which upgrades the CPP of 8 Windows preinstalled on your new computer to a full-blown Windows 8 Pro with Media Center

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/feature-packs

  Pack Windows 8 Pro can be purchased online from China, and you can pay with Paypal

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/terms-conditions-feature-packs

  Windows 8 Pro has all the features to download and add language packs.

  Start the upgrade using the following screenshots

  http://winsupersite.com/Windows-8/Windows-8-release-preview-add-features-Windows-8

  You will need an address in China and turn off your VPN before you start the upgrade.

  There is only one choice of product to buy the Windows 8 Pro Pack.

  The update took a few hours of downloading so start at night and sleep at home.

  After the upgrade you have Windows 8 Pro with Media Center always configured with Chinese as their main language.

  You need then download and install the English language according to these screenshots pack

  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5850-language-pack-install-uninstall-Windows-8-a.html

  The US English language pack is 154 MB and may take a few hours to download as well.

  Restart, then return to the screen of language making English as your primary language, as described in these screenshots

  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5853-display-language-change-Windows-8-a.html

  Reboot again, and voila!

  PS: after upgrading your Windows 8 Pro is activated automatically with the new product ID, but you haven't lost all common applications of OEM and warranty (Dell in my case).

  You always connect to the app store Windows of China and are able to install apps * except * those made specifically by the OEM. In my case, there are only a few and I can't install Renren for Dell for example, but there is also another version not OEM in the app store.

  This limitation is explicitly mentioned in the notes here, and I confirm.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/feature-packs

  OEM applications that I have installed upgrading are still there and working, then you might want to install everything before the upgrade.
