You want to add hard drive XP on my Vista computer.

I have Vista on my computer and you want to add XP to use an old program. The XP is on a computer sooner I could add the drive to the computer later?

Someone said I need to partition the HD on the Vista machine and install XP on it. That doesn't seem to be difficult to achieve. Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

N °

Installing XP will have different drivers from the motherboard installed on the old hard drive; so it would probably not start.

It would take a clean install (if XP drivers are available for your newer computer), according to the XP license:

If XP was preinstalled on your computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

The license of XP OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

If a license of XP at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

A single license is a single Installation.

Try this instead:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
It works for some programs, but not all.

This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

Download the full version of Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.

Buy and install a Windows operating system earlier (XP, Windows 2000) in the above Virtual Machine and try to run your program in that.
Vista Home Premium is not supported by Microsoft using Virtual PC above, but

See you soon.

  • How to stop the pop up message: do you want to add the _ directory to your search path?

    After you install LabVIEW 8.6.1f1 on a new PC, every time I choose one of my screws via her select a VI... palette, I get a pop up message saying: ' you want to add the "P:\CWalker\COREYs LabVIEW subs projects\Phoenix" directory to your search path?

    I've already added 'LabVIEW P:\CWalker\COREYs subs projects\Phoenix' in the option search for VI and restarted path LabVIEW, but the message does not appear.

    Yes, this is how I added the directory.

    Since then, I managed to stop the pop-up message.

    Of course, I had deleted some of the default values, such as "-*" of the VI option search path and that caused the popup message.

  • Windows media player - "you want to hide the drive.

    Hello

    Can someone help me with something that leads me into the wall? Since I installed SP2 on my desktop and laptop, when I close WMP everything a video or track is playing, a dialog box appears on the screen asking me "Do you want to hide the drive instead to shut up?". There are two button (Yes & No.), and a checkbox to say '' do not ask that in the future".

    More often than otherwise, this dialog box appears mainly outside the screen area, and I have to drag in the main window. But more annoying than anything else, is that no matter if I check the box "don't ask again", I'm ignored. Whenever I close the player with the closing this window 'X', I get the same dialog box.

    It was not the case prior to SP2. I looked all over the internet by using the text of the dialog box to see if other users know this, and I can't find a thing. I am logged in as administrator (the only user on both machines). I am running Vista 32-bit, l i've got things like FFShow installed and the combined community codec pack. However, my brother also has it installed on his vista machine and did not see the dialog box.

    Is there some sort of registry setting that is corrupt, is not being written because of UAC, or something (anything!) that I can put to stop this dialog once for all to come?

    Much recognition for everyone and anyone who can help you.

    Am I just that you said this happens on both machines? Must be something in common.

    I don't know what you mean by setting the jumper on the discs correctly to master and slave.  After plugging the older hard drive of the computer in the new computer, it tried to start the computer in

  • Formatting an external hard drive to FAT32 using vista

    Hello

    I own an Xbox 360 and a Windows Vista-based computer.  I wanted to store music and movies on an external hard drive and connect it to my Xbox 360 so I can make use for more then just a game.  I first tried this using a 2 GB USB key and it worked better then I could have hoped.  However, given that 2 GB does not go very far, I went out and bought a FreeAgent 1.5 TB drive external hard.  I can use it in Vista and works very well, but it does not recognize the Xbox 360.  I read in a forum that the 360 requires the external hard drive to FAT32, but Vista cannot format the disc in all except exFAT and NTFS.  How can I get the external drive in a format that can recognize the Xbox?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello, Durandal95

    Please use the Forum for answers.

    You can format a drive using the FAT, FAT32, exFAT and NTFS filesystems using the format command-line tool.

    WARNING: Formatting your drive will completely erase it, exercise caution when you use the format features.

    To do this, go to start, all programs, accessories, click with the right button on command prompt and choose Run as administrator. In the command prompt window, type the following command and press ENTER: format X: / FS: FAT32 / q
    Note: Replace X: the good reader.

    You can find help on the XBOX on both, the help and the community pages:

    Hello

    What you do to a hard drive with an operating system preinstalled / license for a Compaq laptop a Sony, are not allowed under the rules of licensing.

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    ___________________________________________________

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Reinstall Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the Sony.

    As you have a pre-installed on the Sony OEM license, contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee, if they're still available...

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    The COA sticker with the product key is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

    With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.
