I have a disc under license of Windows XP Home Edition I used several times on this computer - an IBM ThinkPad T42. The player seems to be erased, but now when I try to install Win XP it goes through the formatting process I get a message that says that the formatting may not be completed and the reader can be corrupted or damaged. I tried several times, including the variant of the size of the partition, but I get the same message.

  2 questions - 1 - is - it a way to tackle this problem and 2 - if I buy a new hard drive, which will solve the problem?
  Thank you very much in advance for any help on this.

  With the help of different methods to reinstall the hard drive for a clean reinstall Vista formats.

  Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

• Upcoming games with Windows 7 will not work on Presario SR1020NX. Upgrade Advisor said that W7 would work with the exception of the Aero

  W7 Upgrade Advisor said it would work with the exception of Windows Aero.  When the games to try to come with W7 get window 'game running in software rendering... '. Hardware acceleration disabled or not supported by the video card driver"games will not work. A check says last drivers are installed.  Tried to reinstall WXP in separeat partition to see if would work like that but will not because most recent W7.

  I suggest that you use XP personally gave a computer which is so old.

  If you have a computer with XP (3 + years) and have not changed at least two of these things (CPU, RAM, video card), you should probably stick with XP. Not worth the headache of praying that things work with a material more old which probably is no longer supported on the new OS.
  Usually, people that the computer was shipped with Vista 1, 2 or less it several years ago can be upgraded to 7 without too much trouble if it was a mid-range machine.

  In addition, it seems that Windows is not recognizing your graphics card. It looks like (http://www99.shopping.com/xPO-Hewlett-Packard-SR1020NX-CEL2-8-512-80-COM-XPH) you have an Intel Extreme graphics card. However, nothing about it is extreme. Since it is an extreme Intel card I guess Windows Update should find the drivers for you, but it is not then maybe the video card is just too outdated for 7? I'm not sure.

  Moreover, I wouldn't worry much about the lack of updates for XP right now. If ever you encounter more money then get the new computer with 7 on it, but at this time I suggest you stay on XP if your hardware and software actually works and that is more important than a few features of 7.

• Windows Vista does not recognize external USB 260 GB HARD drive

  I have a 260 GB Seagate external hard drive, a laptop Toshiba satellite and Windows Vista Basic.

  The same Windows usually choose the hard drive when I plug it, it does not appear in Device Manager and in disk management, the only way I can get it to work is to uninstall all the USB root hub and then restart the computer, and then reinstall the USB root hub and plug my hard drive.

  When windows finally recognizes him, the only way to find the driver must choose c:\ manually and there's the search for the computer.
  Works for the time that I have the computer hard disk, but when I stopped it, next time I use the computer, I'm having exactly the same problem.

  I tried to remove the hard drive safely and then close the computer and by him plugging back in after windows has loaded, I tired it connected from the computer and tried to close the computer with connected.

  None of these work.

• Windows 7 will not allow a batch file to run.

  I created a batch file.  Double-clicking it in Explorer lights up only the Publisher.  It runs in a command window does the editor.  That is what it is?

  Should it run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (SP3) maybe? Right click, select Properties , and then make the changes in the compatibility tab.

  You didn't mention what your batch file has been written to do, but it must run an command with administrator privileges prompt?

  To start an elevated command prompt, click Start and type CMD but do not press ENTER. Find the program listed above CMD and right click and select run as administrator.

  If this does not work the script file, you will need to click right on the. BAT or. CMD and select Properties. Under the tab compatibility , under privilege level, check the run as Administrator option. This should be performed by the users of the human resources of the computer, click on change settings for all users and make your changes as well.
