Windows XP SP3 installation will erase the data on the computer?

original title: if I change my windows xp sp2 to windows xp sp3, the data of my other drives (D:, E: and F :) will get deleted? what should I back up these data?)

I currently have Windows xp sp2. I want to switch to windows xp sp3 install some software. During the installation of Windows xp sp3, the data from the rest of my readers (D:, E:, F :) will remain intact or will be deleted?)  what I need to save all that data?

They should not be made, but if you have 3 other physical disks I would disconnect the data cable for each disk to be sure.

Also would be wise to create a backup of the Image of your disk/partition of Windows XP before installing SP3 just in case there are problems.

    I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I like the text-to-speech engine in Windows. I want to have the computer voice on Star Trek to be my text-to-speech voice. How can I do this?

    original title: Star Trek computer voice TTS

    Hello

    I like the text-to-speech engine in Windows.  I want to have the computer voice on Star Trek to be my text-to-speech voice.  How can I do this?
    It must be possible, but 2012 already.
    Another way to ask, where is a large collection / selection / compilation of the text-to-speech voices I can install?  Created by Msft or 3rd party.
    Windows 8 voices are not the answer, either.

    Hello

    Microsoft does not speech engines provide additional (voice), but there are a number of third-party products that support the new Microsoft Speech API

    Please use your favorite search engine and browse for voice of Star trek, which can be used for this purpose.

  • The windows 10 ISO file will still work to upgrade my computer to Windows 7 after the date limit to install the free version?

    Original title: upgrade Windows 10

    I made an iso file for windows 10. I am waiting to upgrade until all the bugs are being developed. My question is: will the iso file of windows 10 still work to upgrade my computer to windows 7 after the date limit to install the free version?

    The ISO will work after the date limit, but you can buy Windows 10 after the date limit, if you don't improve and activate it before that date.

    Windows 10 is delivered as a service:

    Windows July 10 release - build 10240

    Windows Update 10 November - build 10586 (with many updates depuis.13,.29,. 36)

    If you want to take advantage of the free offer, you must do so before July 29, 2016.

    If you the newer versions are released before then, you can always download and install when it becomes available.

    You could also install it now then download updates via Windows Update as soon as they are available.

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

    Hello

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

  • Windows 7 for Lenovo G50-70 - the computer will not boot from the CD

    Hello world

    I hope that someone here will be able to help

    I bought a new laptop with Windows 8.1. I want to install Windows 7 on that I know well because I can't use the new windows. I changed the settings in the BIOS to get the machine to boot from the CD, but it won't be fair. I also tried to restore the system to boot from the CD, but it installs just the Windows pre-installed, new instead. Also, I can't access the CD from the drive while all my other computers are capable of (what is strange)

    Can someone help, please?

    See you soon

    PS. : I can turn on the computer through the small "boot botton" on the side and select the DVD drive to boot from. But this is not followed by the message "Press any key to boot from CD" and the computer starts just W8 yet;

    I contacted customer service and followed your advice. They refused to help him on the ground that there nothing wrong with the machine in their opinion, and since I wanted to change operating system. All preinstalled spyprogrammes Lenovo has been erased with this downgrade. So far, I've owned a laptop computer brand new and expensive for a year I used only to waste my time, trying to make it work, that was not why I bought it in the first place. What a RIP-OFF!

  • XP installation will void the warranty

    Hello

    I hope I am in the right place to ask this question - find info on the Toshiba site is not very easy! I am looking to buy a laptop Toshiba with Vista preloaded, but want to partition the drive and put XP on the partition as a dual boot. What I need to know is, this will void the international guarantee? Or where can I find?

    Hope you can help!

    Thank you

    Don t worry buddy. Installation of all applications, programs, software and other operating systems will not void the warranty.
    I recommend that you first create a new partition in Windows Vista, and then you could try to reinstall Win XP on the new partition.
