  Hi the prey,

  ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

  You should check the settings of the computer BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) to boot from the CD/DVD. Check the manual or the support of the computer Web site for the same.

  Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

  Hi all:

I tried to re - install Win XP on the recovery disk (which came with the laptop) but I got a black screen with cursor. I repeated the collection, same thing. To check that all was well with the disc, I scanned and then installed ubuntu 9.04 it work perfect! What is interesting is that in the prior installation, he showed that win xp has been installed on the disk. Then I tried to re - install win xp - then I got this error Grub 17... I went back with the facilities and now I'm at a point where I get a message "error: unknown filesystem grub rescue >" (after the installation of ubuntu 11.04, then windows again). I don't know what to do. What I want is my xp back, I can't get ubuntu. Help, please.
  Thanks in advance.

  Hi ARolle,

  ·         It is reinstall drive?

  Method 1: Load default BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings, and then restart the computer. Make sure that you have the CD drive set as first boot device. Check the settings by consulting the manual or call the manufacturer to do so.

  Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

  Method 2: Try to boot from the CD and see if you can start the installation.

  Contact Toshiba to get more information on the type of disc you use to reinstall Windows.

  Problem reinstalling Windows XP

  I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP.  After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation.  He goes back and reinstall Windows again.  I go through the installation of 39 minutes, the computer restarts to complete and it loops back and start the installation again. Why it does this and what I can do to move beyond this?

  Go into the BIOS and make sure that you your hard drive is not set to off, and that is the first priority boot CD and your second HD.

  Don't push when it restarts anything just to let him do what he does and report back if anything I'm sorry I have no idea.

• I have Vista Home premium and you want to install Windows Defender, but however get the 08x800106ba error message.

  I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.

  Where should I go from here

  Hello

  You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

  Read about Defender:

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  make sure that the bios contains specific data on time system, the RAM and the hard drive, IE. :

  Make sure that the date and time is correct.

  Make sure you installed the amount of memory shown in bios the amount real matches.

  Make sure that the new hard drive and its size is denoted accordingly.

  (go to dell.com and look for the model number.  then go over the web pages on it and the faq on the bios and the size of the ram that came standard with the laptop)

  Hello... My laptop out there today and I'm trying to start it, it says "operating system not found '... I guess I reinstall windows Vista but I can't find any cd/dvd... I dontt think that I was given when I bought my laptop a few years ago... Do you think I can get another copy (free of charge)) L

  Hello

  If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your laptop 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.

  Also some manufacturers have more available recovery Vista disc.

  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:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• My HP mini crashed today, I need to reinstall Windows 7 starter I have the product key

  My HP mini is a black screen and I do a new reinstall top can get instructions step on a clean install to start windows 7. I have my product key and and the external dvd drive to boot windows with. Is anyway that I can get help with this without charge for customer support.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  If the recovery partition does not work, see the following resources:

• Lost my HARD drive and you want to reinstall windows

  I got an Acer TimelineX 4820 t. that has suddenly stopped working, it turns no more and they said that I may need to also replace the HARD drive. So I bought a new laptop, but it comes with windows 8 and I need Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (the one I got). I have the key that was on the Acer (at the back of the laptop). My question is: if I reinstall win 7 with the same key on the other pc? (dual boot) If not, can I get it for free? (legally of course)

  The preinstalled version of victory over death PC and its key on the label is valid only for the dead PC, its an OEM win version and can not be installed on a new slice of replacement/PC (or this key can be reused)

  Why do you need win7 Home Premium?, all programs that have been installed on the PC dead should also install on the new.

  You can't get a free win7 version, and its likely your preinstalled version of win8 didn't downgrade rights.

• Problems of thw whole adter computer tries to right the wrongs of a virus by reinstalling Windows XP. Especially with the sound card and microsoft components.

  I had some virus that wiped out my computer and began to delete files .exe for evrything and started to interfere with my network connections that made me unable to get on the internet. I've got rid of the virus, but still not able to get on the internet, so I decided to reinstall Windows XP from the service pack CD that I got with the computer. Now that I did it, it seems that all the components of windows have disappeared from my list of programs in the control panel. I still have everything that was on the hard drive on it, but I can't seem to get things to transfer to the new XP operating. My biggest thing I found is that my soundcard has seemed to disappear and my volume control will not work because it says I have no mixers or equipment installed. Help, please.

  You don't have a clean install of Windows. Backup your data and do a clean install according to the instructions below. Once installation is complete, you will then need to install the drivers for all your hardware.
