You need to remove a damaged installation of Windows XP on a partition.

Original title: redundant installation of XP.

I have two copies of XP on my pc.  the oringinal has been damaged by a power failure.  the second copy was installed following the instructions on the screen that follows.  I finally got the pc with almost all software re installed.  However the damaged copy is still present in C: and for some reason, it's a massive 11FR.  my C: drive resides on a disk partitioned, calibrated to 40 GB.

  • Windows 8 start problem, due to an accidental installation of Windows XP on another partition

    I had Windows 8 Pro on one partition and Windows XP SP3 on another partition for some time and I could choose which start. I decided to remove Win XP and format the partition on that Win XP has been installed. I tried to do it by using formatting option Win XP CD that appears before installation; However, I accidentally installed Win XP on the same partition. The problem is that my laptop is no longer recognizes Win 8 and begins on Win XP. I was wondering if by any chance I could collect Win 8?

    Furthermore, the Win 8 partition is installed, is intact and healthy with all the files inside Windows. Also, I tried to update or reset the installation of Win 8 to help to win 8 DVD, however, it did not work; as a message appears saying that the drive is locked.

    I thank very you much for your time.

    Hey Amir,

    It seems that the boot loader is damaged. You need to install the earlier operating system first, and then install the latest operating system. If you do not have (for example, if you install Windows XP on a computer that is already running Windows 8), you can make your system unusable. This can happen because earlier versions of Windows do not recognize the startup files used in more recent versions of Windows and can overwrite them.

    As you have reinstalled Windows XP on a computer running Windows 8, it has destroyed the boot loader.

    Follow these steps.

    We need to rebuild the Boot Configuration data (BCD). For this we need an installation of Windows 8 media.  If you do not have an installation, you can create a.

    Refer to this article.

    Follow the article above to download the installer of Windows 8.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

    To create the installation media, as a result of this article.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    Here are the steps to fix this problem.

    a. Insert the Windows 8 installation media and start the computer using the disc.

    Note: You will need to consult the computer manual on how to set the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device in the BIOS.

    b. Once you start using the installation disk of Windows, on the installation of Windows 8 window, click on repair your computer.

    c. click Troubleshooting and Advanced options.
    d. Select command prompt. Type the following commands in the command prompt and press ENTER after each command.

    Bootrec /fixmbr
    Bootrec /fixboot
    Bootrec /scanos
    Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    Once the order is complete, restart the computer.

  • Installation of Windows 7 in a Partition

    So I have a 500 GB HARD drive. I have a backup 210 GB partition I want to keep after the installation of Windows 7. Will it get deleted when I install windows 7?

    Marc,

    You can choose the custom installation (see installation and reinstallation of Windows) and install it in the score you want.  So you can keep your other partition.

    Many people say that the partition you are installing must be at least 100 GB [I'm under 64 bit Windows 7 in a 70 GB partition and he seems pretty happy].  You can repartition at the beginning of the custom Setup to achieve whatever you decide.

    On the computer Windows 10, I am currently typing, drives C, D & F are all partitions on the same physical drive.  Drive E is an extra disk inserted in the original DVD drive Bay.  [I have the same setup on my computer Windows 7 - even multiple partitions & an extra drive in DVD drive Bay].

    You can use the rest of your HARD drive as a data reader.  You can move all of your user files it so your operating system drive contains only Windows and your applications.  This will allow you to do more than regularly, because the image would be less than about 50 GB, even with a lot of applications installed - it would take less than half an hour to make system images and restore from a half hour.  Have regular system images on an external drive can be useful - if the initial outage does not solve a technical problem, you start the restoration of the image then take a cup of tea and then return to a work computer.

    Your Windows 7 installation disc can be used to boot from if the Windows installation is damaged while it fails to restore images.  I use this method rather than the method on board [see Windows help] because I think that it is more reliable.

    I don't know what you want for your partition to "backup".  External hard drives should normally be used for backups of partitions on the internal drive could get corrupted by a loophole that started on the OS partition [though seldom].  More importantly, if your drive hard breaks down then you want your backups to another physical disk so that they are not lost by the default that would make you wish it.

    Original title: replacement of the Windows XP boot manager.

    Hello

    A few days ago, I installed Windows Embedded Standard on a PC that already had Windows XP on it. But (Windows Embedded) has been installed with a lot of system files missing (Task Manager, System Configuration and even the application to activate Windows was absent).

    The Windows boot manager that came with Windows Embedded could not be successful because I could not access "msconfig". It doesn't even have a "repair" advanced option.

    "Windows Embedded would be useless in 30 days, so I formatted the disc that contains the" management of the computer "in Windows XP.

    But Windows Boot Manager Embedded stayed with Windows Embedded as one of the options (Option low said "Earlier Version of Windows". This driver for the Windows XP boot manager).

    Is there a way I can get rid of him?

    Thank you

    DOM

    Hi Dom,

    Did you uninstall normal Windows XP or Windows Embedded Standard?

    If you have removed Windows Embedded and normal Windows XP still installed, you can use FIXMBR and FIXBOOT from the Recovery Console to restore the boot loader.

    For more information, please visit this link: Description of the recovery Windows XP for power users Console

    If you have removed the normal Windows XP and Windows Embedded, you can ask your question in the MSDN forums for assistance.

  • you need to remove windows7 trial so that I can install xp pro on a new computer.

    Earlier this year, I myself have built a new computer and tried win7 on it. Now, I want to install win xp pro I don't like win 7. the problem I have is that I get the error process1_initialization_failed. I think that maybe I need to completely remove win7 first. I already deleted all other software on this computer.

    When I boot from xp cd it crosses the stuf loading then I get the error when it tries to start windows.

    any help would be great thanks a lot.

    Format of the hd first, win 7 has written some info in the mbr, and it needs to be deleted.
    If xp cd has formatting problems, boot with win 7 cd and format, do not allow to install, just the format.

    PMLstItms = PMLstItms + PMAddItms;

    }
    var PMItms = [PMLstItms];

    Hello

    our company bought a Toshiba Portege Z930 - 14 X, and it is necessary to do a clean install of Windows 7.

    Unfortunately there is no key working Windows 7 can be found anywhere on the unit.
    I read the installation key, but the key is not supposed to be activated, so does not work for a clean install.

    There is usually a sticker of license at the bottom of the device, but this laptop has nothing.

    So, where can I find this Windows 7 key?

    Kind regards
    GSUs

    > Unfortunately there is no key working Windows 7 can be found anywhere on the unit.

    If you want to use a clean Windows system, you must purchase the MS Windows disk containing the serial key.
    Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba image containing the OEM version of the Windows system and drivers. This image is already enabled. The series key isn t necessary.
