Here is the situation. I had Windows 7 on my Mac as a dual boot, and it was a upgrade from XP on the same partition on my Mac. I have since formatted and sold that Mac so Win. XP or 7 is no longer on it or anything.
I am building a new Windows machine I want to install XP on and then use my Win 7 home upgrade to install Win 7 on that machine. What is the best way to get XP and 7 deactivated from the old (nonexistent) Mac and reactivate on the new machine?
What a pain MS makes a simple situation. P.S. if I need to call MS what is the number?
I had a stock machine running windows 7. I built a computer for myself and I hardly use cds so when I needed to install windows 7 on the new computer I simply removed my cd drive from my old computer and put it in the new one. I assumed that since the os is installed to the hd that the computer would still run but it does not . I already installed windows 7 on the new computer but when I went to boot my old pc up it says no operating system. Do I just need to buy a new cd drive? Or do I need to buy another copy of windows?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a windows 7 64 bit system with 2 drives that have OS on them. Every morning it asks me which one to boot to. I choose the first one (the most recent SDD I put in). I did this because I needed more room for the software we use so it is larger than the first. The problem is, when I remove the smaller SDD (that I don't boot to), it will not boot. I've gone into the bios and made sure it is booting to the SDD, it just says loading operating system ........., then, after a minute is says Boot to DVD or USB.

In windows vista and windows 7 Microsoft removed the old class Windows Explorer .The old class Windows Explorer .Show a root directory ( The root directory is the highest directory level of a disk. The files and folders you see when you open (double-click) your hard disk icon are the contents of that disk's root directory) and windows explorer the displaying of directory tree hierarchyThe only thing that comes close to old class Windows Explorer is when a user click on computer ( for old windows user called my computer) and you see drive and you click (C) and + under C on split-pane, list on left .ut this crude way of doing it and when user types in run/search box in start manue it takes you to a more user profile page of things for user to work with than the admid will work with.
The old class Windows Explorer like computer ( for old windows user called my computer) is some you really did not want computer novice or young kid to go into.That why in old windows OS computer novice or young kid use my documents folder on the desktop and to run programs click start than all programs and click on the programs in the list and the admid will lock out of other areasThe Windows Explorer back in windows 3.1 was file manager this was not for novice or young kid to go into.Why is Microsoft changing this.
Am i blind or did they also remove that or do they have a replacement for it? Also what was the name of it again on Vista ?? Desktop share connection or something like that ??
What are some good programs you guy's might have tried or use to you would recommended ? [besides gotometting, HP's skyroom, sharedview, or any online versions]

View 3 Replies View Relatedso somehow I caught the malware program known as Windows 7 recovery. As per its standard operations it made my computer seem like it was having a bunch of issues, hid all the files on my hard drive, removed my background, etc. I followed a removal guide I found here on bleeping computer and it did rid of me of that annoying malware. A lingering problem I am still experiencing is that all my start menu items are missing. For example there is a folder for Microsoft office, but when you open it it shows as empty, but if I open a Microsoft office file like say a word file the program opens as normal. I have run the unhide.exe file a couple of times, and shutdown my firewall and maleware protection, but to no avail the start menu items still seem to remain hidden.

What is the best way to reimage the installed SSD so that the files on the D partition will be included? I have partial backups of most of those files on an external HDD, but they are not complete.
I need to reinstall the OS and the drivers. The problem I am having however is that the startup repair doesn't run and the startup gives me a bluescreen (of death ). I have tried to use both discs (OS and the drivers respectively) in the system however they eould not run as the computer crashes every time I boot normally. I was originally trying bleeping computer to solve my Zeroaccess trojan problem however I took it to thinkgeek to see if there was a potentially safer way to remove it, they instead removed about my entire OS. If there is any way I can reinstall everything without any downloads that would be just amazing right now.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIve had XP 32 bit SP3 on one partition, 7 Ultimate 64 bit on another, and all my data on a third, ive been running a dual boot system for some time with both OS, and earlier, i figured i never use XP any more, so id format that partition, and merge with the windows 7 one.Big mistake, i selected format disk using Acronis disk director, waited for it to restart, and i get a message NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl alt Del to restart, searched the internet endlessly, found the most common advice is to use the recovery disk to fix the bootmanager and voilla. So I:Used recovery disk: automatic fix - didnt work Used command prompt, bootrec.exe etc etc (basically following this guide [URL] - it said, "cannot find bcd" when i used "del C:ootcd" Tried resetting the BIOS Removed all CDs and floppys Now the message has changed to BOOTMGR is missing, again, tried using the recovery disk: didnt work, the old XP partition was left "half formatted" from acronis, as i was never able to restart and finish the job.Right now i am using the win7 disk to format the old C (XP) partition and install a copy of win7 on there just so i can get into an OS and use EasyBCD to fix my bootmgr, then hopefully get rid of the "temporary" win7 partition.I sort of got it all working, and then i used disk director to make my windows 7 install the primary drive, and active. that worked fine... then i made the old OS partition change from primary to logical, hoping to then reformat it and merge with the current OS partition, now here is when i ran into trouble.Upon reboot, I could not get into my OS again, this time i just get a blinking underscore. I ran recovery disk, automatic recovery didnt work, Ran ChkDsk on C: E: drives (OS partitions), Errors on the E: drive (this was the old OS drive, nothing on it so i used DOS to reformat it... that all went well)
I tried to recover bootmgr again, didnt work, so i tried to install 7 on the freshly formatted drive, i get the message "windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation" "run ChkDsk on C:" I run chkdsk on C and it says its fine... Try to install again, i get the same message.Now when i turn my computer on i get the message "A disk read error occured, Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart"
EDIT 2: Tried re-formatting, windows 7 wouldnt install again on the old partition, so i tried installing windows XP, now the error has gone back to NTLDR is missing press CTRL ALT DEL to restart, I tried running recovery console off XP CD, it said it rebuilt the bootmanager, and is detecting Windows XP, but still... not starting. Done some more stuff - this time DISK READ ERROR, seems to be rotating between these error messages.
