XP to XP: new XP install + only old HD that had XP, not the old full XP machine.

I have a new install of Windows XP Pro and I am trying to transfer the old hard disk user settings. Is there a way to do it with just the HDD connected or do I need to reinstall the old HD in a computer and run the wixzard?

AFAIK, you can't transfer 'settings' without going through a working Windows installation, although you could, of course, copy all the files of data, including the 'Favorites' (favorite IE) to X:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Favoris (where X: is the letter of the old hard disk).

Depending on what you want to copy things from the old drive, there are manual methods to retrieve the data; You'll have to ask specific questions.

Of course, you need to reinstall old programs from original installation media (or the downloaded installation files).

Just break out the old drive in any old computer as the 'system disk' is not likely to work unless you do a repair installation of Windows, which is becoming more trouble than its worth just to copy the settings of the program.

    Yes, you can buy Lightroom without subscribing to Adobe Creative Cloud.

    To purchase an upgrade to Lightroom 6 from a previous version, please see this link: products .  Scroll to lightroom and click 'buy '. Then click on the selectable text next to "I want to:" and select "upgrade". In the drop-down list, select the version that you are upgrading.  I hope that help.

    Hi Ms. PEPPER,

    1. because this game has been incorporated into Windows XP and is not available on Windows 7. I found an interesting link where he is given a work around for installing this game on Windows 7.

    2. the other option would be that you can find this game for Windows 7 on internet, use your favorite for this search engine.

  • Cannot install Windows 8, assuming that its due to the video card... Need help!

    Hi all, I'm terribly frustrated today. I think the video card, a brand specifically 6450 marked as a 7450 here, is at the origin of the problems. The pilot was a mess and when I updated and restarted windows 8 (using the stock drivers) then updated after hesitating to Windows 8. After I restarted my computer, windows 8 has been roasted and I couldn't access what anyone, I had to do a recovery install. I wonder if there are any suggestions as to what I can do here, would like any advice! Nick

    HI there - don't know why I don't post the model (h8-1227, a Pavilion), but regardless, the issue was not the video card.

    It's a seemingly simple, innocuous add-on I've used for over 2 years.

    Never heard of the Asus AI Charger?  It is used to help to "mount" the power to the USB ports on a computer, allowing an iPad draw enough power to recharge in FACT.  It has been a great feature to my computer.

    However such, it killed my first USB 3.0 ports, completely.  I would like to install the HP drivers and the USB port will work until I rebooted, then it stops.

    I completely misunderstood this as something that might have been originally, but here, I looked at the USB ports in the Device Manager and saw the tag HAVE charger which they are attached.

    Something SMALL, simple as it seems, is what was causing all that headache and frustration.  I probably lost more than 20 hours trying to solve a problem this stupid thing caused.  I even ended up buying a new video card, guess THAT's what the problem is here.

    What's happened is that the only TWO things I have installed in the computer were the new drivers for video card, Office and the charger HAVE stupid!

    Sometimes the simplest things are the most stupidly frustrating things!

  • How to stop the new tabs automatically redirect any address that I type in the search to ask?

    After the last patch, any address I put in redirects fair of me to ask search. How can I stop it?

    Hello WNxBrontus, this looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspect entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to Control Panel / programs and remove all potentially unwanted software.

    Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search

    later, you can either install the searchreset addon to get rid of the problem, or manually resetting the page that opens on each new tab - enter Subject: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears), search for the preference named browser.newtab.url and right click and reset it to its default value (subject (: newtab).

    Hello

    I'm new to xml db, and I have a scenario where I need to find and replace the xml content. The search is based on a clear text and not on any column.

    I have a table as follows:

    ID VARCHAR2 (32 BYTE),
    MESSAGE_TYPE, VARCHAR2 (64 BYTE),
    XMLTYPE OF the MESSAGE_CONTENT,
    REJECTED_REASON VARCHAR2 (256 BYTE)

    UPDATE t_xml D SET D.MESSAGE_CONTENT = replace (D.MESSAGE_CONTENT, "ABCD", "Chennai")
    (WHERE d.MESSAGE_CONTENT.existsNode('//*[*="ABCD"]') = 1;

    This works very well and replaces the two ABCD < DealerDestAddr > < / DealerDestAddr > and < DestAddr > ABCD < / DestAddr > tag values in Chennai. But the problem I encounter is if there is that a node with the name of the < ABCD > tag is also changed to < Chennai >. Please help me to fix this problem.

    Kind regards

    What happens if I need to select and update a node that has the value null. Who doesn't have any value to it.

    You can test if the partner has a child text() node:
