  Have you pressed a key after this part of the 2nd message: "press any key to boot from cd or dvd"?

  If you haven't done so already, it's trying to boot from the hard drive, and that's why you're the "BOOTMGR is missing" part of the message.

• Pro Clean install XP with SP3 but the registry indicates SP4?

  I did a clean install with the i386 out of my original image. It came with SP3 integrated. Trying to install the drivers, I noticed registry service pack back to SP4 not SP3, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP4. I have not found any performance issues, but is that what I should be concerned with, and if so, how could remedy?

• Why can't I do a clean install on my Dell laptop?

  I bought a Dell Inspiron 17R laptop SE 7720 computer a few months ago. I would like to do a clean install with the installation disc that Dell sent me for the computer. But, when I try to install Windows 7 the DART player does not appear in the select drive window to install. The window is empty. I put the driver CD that was sent with the disc of Windows 7 Instillation. And it says drivers not found. I installed systems before, but I've never run it before. Hope that it helps. Maybe someone else has gone through this.

  When you install Windows, the installation disc normally contains the drivers required to run your disk controllers HARD is connected to, and as such, you will see the HARD drive and be able to create partitions, etc as and install.

  If for any reason, the controller drivers are not on the installation disc, you will not see the HARD drive and have nothing to the partition. This lack of a good pilots can occur if the controller is a RAID card or the motherboard controller manages the RAID functionality and installation disc doesn't know about them.

  Normally drives OEM must contain all the drivers for your specific hardware, so maybe you have the wrong disc or the disc has not been good...

  To work around this problem, when Windows Installer boots drive upward, you always get an option to press F6 and then load the appropriate drivers for the controller used (for the motherboard or raid card).

  Not knowing your laptop card mother, I assume you have a chipset intel AHCI + RAID features. You can check this by starting at the current operating system and looking at the Device Manager where you should see "Standard dual channel PCI IDE Controller" or "Intel Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset STAT RAID Controller". If you see the later, you must find the Dell IRST driver and download it. Yes, you have TSRI and this driver should be correct.

  After downloading, run the executable that should create directories, to not proceed with the installation. Check to see if there is a Readme in the directory created and/or an F6 disk (or something similar) directory. Read the "readme." If there is a floppy F6 directory, place this directory on a USB key and when you start windows installation disc, press F6 and insert the stcik USB into the laptop and go to the F6 floppy disk to the USB directory by selecting the appropriate drivers. Windows Installer should then continue and you should see your HARD drive.

  Once you have installed Windows, make another trip to the dell laptop driver page and update all the relevant drivers to the most recent available

  I hope this helps...

• Laptop HP 15-f111dx: 10 windows clean install

  My laptop came originally with 8.1 Windows preinstalled (purchased in 2014). Last year, I did the free update for Windows 10. I also did the original OS HP Recovery disks for the supplied Win 8.1 system with my laptop, and I did the 10 Windows upgrade USB recovery.

  My question: I plan to do a Windows 10 'clean install' because I don't think I necessarily need ALL the pre-installed software HP initially installed on my computer, which of course remained after I did the upgrade to win 10. However, my question is if I do a clean install, I'm aware that NONE of the software original HP and drivers (including the HP Support Assistant who helps with updates software/driver) would be installed.

  I have concerns not to get the updated drivers if I did a clean install.  I assume that there is no possible way to later install SOME of the software that came with my original installation, as the DVD burning software (CyberLink), Foxit Phantom PDF program, etc.

  Can someone shed some light on this topic, especially if you did a clean install of win 10? Thank you.

• Clean install on laptop 2008

  I was given a late 2008 13 "MacBook aluminum 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/w 2 GB of storage. It has installed ElCapitan and is slow as molasses. It took 60 seconds for the window "about this Mac" to come!   I want to do a clean install with a BONE that will make it as fast as possible and see if it is fast enough to be functional for Safari, Mail, numbers and Pages. My personal computer is a current 15 "Macbook Pro, which I could connect at 13" via USB 2.0.   I also have a 32GB USB key.

  (1) what OS if I put on this laptop? According to the Apple support, it is the older model which will work with ElCapitan. An earlier operating system, (i.e. Lion) would go smoother? Or model would be more effective?

  (2) do I need to find the original installation disc provided with the 13 "to start it for a clean install? Can I use an installation of Lion from a laptop disk 15 "former and then update to model?
