Swap OSs Between PCs

Dec 28, 2007

I've got 2 PCs, one running XP Home, and the other running XP MCE. I'm planning on swapping the roles of these PCs, and am wondering if I'm going to run into activation problems once I'm done formatting/reinstalling windows on each of these machines.Think I'll end up having to contact MS? Will they let me do this without having to purchase new keys?

Jan 26, 2008

My daughter has XP Pro on her laptop and I have XP Home on my laptop. Both are legal and registered but we'd like to swap the operating systems. Hers is a smaller, slower and older machine then mine so there shouldn't be any hardware problems or capacity issues.

Can Swap Licences Between 2 Pcs?

Dec 17, 2008

I have xp pro on my laptop and xp home on my computer. however, in order to use the windows remote acess service my host computer (home) must have xp pro. Is there any way to swap the two licenses without wiping my computers and reinstalling?(Some of you will doubtlessly mention other remote access programs such as LogMeIn, etc. I've considered those but they are not my first choice, which is why I am wanting to go down this avenue before I default to a 3rd party client such as logmein)I've considered asking Microsoft but they charge up the a sshole.

Swap Space Usage

Oct 17, 2007

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question because it's not exactly a problem, but why is my system using 250 odd mb of swap file space when it's only using 67% of physical ram? I think I must have misunderstood the way it works because I thought that swap space was used when you 'run out' of physical ram, and that it was undesirable because it is alot less efficient using the hard drive for memory.

Fail On Mobo Swap

Feb 4, 2008

I recently had motherboard problems with my computer.Swapped the motherboard for one given to me off a forum.The problem now is that on boot I get past the windows splash and get the BSOD.The error code was just a hex code for which google was not my friend.I could boot in safe mode (without cmd prompt or networking only), but I could not work out what the problem was.I have compounded the issue by using the XP install disc to perform a repair.All that has done is made it so i cannot boot in safe mode at all now due to the setup restriction with safe mode.I believe this is all to do with motherboard drivers that I need to fix.I probably need help in canceling the repair, and how to clean out the existing drivers.I have in the meantime installed Ubuntu to allow access to attempt repair.I would prefer not to have to do a full reinstallation if could be avoided.

Jul 17, 2008

I have just reinstalled Windows XP Pro on my PC and need to find a way to get my programs from a user that is no longer recognized by windows to work with my new user. The first thing I thought to do was copy the registry from the old user and replace the new one's with it, but I'm not sure if that would work, or how to do it.

Motherboard Swap On System

Aug 31, 2005

My main XP Pro machine failed last night, with symptomology consistent with an actual failure of the motherboard. I'm going to try and attack it methodically tonight, but realistically I think the board will be "pining for the fjords.".I would like to take the primary disk from that machine, and cable it into the
old backup desktop machine in place of that machine's primary hard drive while I figure out what to do. That way I won't have to spend major amounts of time getting the Outlook .pst file moved and configured, not to mention all the other relatively important stuff sitting on that main machine.When I've done that in the past, that has always required a reinstall of Windows because the motherboards are totally different architectures and obviously take a different set of drivers and dlls and what have you.But I have a hunch this is not necessary if one knows the right tricks or perhaps how to run the mysterious Repair console.

Can anyone talk me through what I need to do in order to stick a hard drive with a good, running XP Pro installation onto a foreign machine? A second question: I run a small network at home cable modem into SMC .Barricade 4 port hub. The failing machine connects to the hub, as does a wireless router. I've found that when my primary machine is turned off (or in the case of this failure, is dead) that none of my networking works wired or wireless. I had to cable the backup desktop machine directly into the cable modem in order to have any connectivity. Just wired into the hub it waits forever for an IP address. I just don't understand what the main machine has to do with the networking process thought that was the job of the hub.

Swap Memory / How Much Is Needed?

Aug 18, 2009

I've recently switched from Linux because it overheated my laptop. I installed Win XP SP 3. I partitioned my hdd in only 2 primary partitions, c and d. I don't know how to create the swap memory, as I did at Linux installation (at the first partioning). It appears that Windows did it already, because at Virtual Memory it says: minimum 2024 and maximum 4096 if I remember well, and allocated curently it is 2024MB. I don't know if it is ok, I didn't touch anything here. My RAM is 4 GB in Bios, but windows recognizes only 3 GB.

Virtual Memory Swap File

May 29, 2007

I've set up a 2 GB logical drive in my extended partition which I have dedicated to the Windows virtual memory swap file ("pagefile.sys"). I went into the "Performance Options" panel, clicked "Change. " within the "Virtual Memory" section, then set the size of the swap file for the logical drive. I then tried to set the size of the swap file on drive C: to zero.

Sp3 HDD Swap - Remove The Old EIDE Drive And Boot

May 22, 2008

I've purchased a WD 500gb SATA HDD to replace the near-full WD 80gb EIDE drive. My motherboard supports SATA and using XP's disk manager I've partitioned the new drive as E: and all is well with XP recognizing both drives. I've used Ghost 9.0 to export all of the data and files to the new drive, as well as making backup image files on DVD disks. The problem is when I remove the old EIDE drive and try to boot, XP hangs up and gives me the "blue screen of death". If I put the old drive back in, life's good again. I'm assuming that XP is hanging up because my SATA drive is still labeled E:, and XP's disk manager won't let me change E: to C:, or at least I can't figure out how to do it. I've got two questions: Has anyone used Ghost to export data from one disk to another disk, and is it OK to assume the transfer got all of the files required to make a boot disk? And, is there a work-around of some sort to make XP recognize my SATA drive as C: and boot from it?

Swap File - Screen Is Black Jack

Feb 11, 2007

This machiene has Fedora core 6 currently loaded on the ATA133 150 gb segate drive with an AMD 3200+ 2.2ghz and 1.25 gig of ram along side a Geforce 5900xt all riding on the a7n8x nforce 2 chipset. This is a kick butt system however Vista does not support my hardware and linux is not using my swap file correctly.I put in the legal copy of windows xp sp2 and boot my pc asks me to press any key to boot from cd and upon completion the screen reads Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration. then the screen is black jack and there aint no going back I've left it up for hours. Tried booting using the BARTS ultimate boot cd, same thing. Tried a floppy boot disk and I get a similar issue. Even when trying to boot from a USB I have trouble. But Fedora core still comes up fine and I can boot into that setup.

Compaq Recovery Tools CD /Compaq System Recovery

I'm running Windows XP SP3 with everything up to date as far as I know. I have the complete set of my PC's OEM Disks that I've used once when my OS was completely messed up, had Geeks Rescue out and they couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I know what they are for.What I'm not understanding are the several tools I'm afraid to open listed in my "Start"/"All Programs" I have both "Compaq"/"Compaq Presario PC Tools" with "Compaq Application Recovery"/"Compaq Recovery CD-DVD Creator"/"Compaq Recovery Tools CD"/"Compaq Support Information"/"Compaq System Recovery"/"Remote Assistance"/"Safety and Comfort Guide"

Either A Or Hp Pavilion / Could Be Sent Through Restart

Dec 6, 2004

Have a hp Pavilion 4600ze. Nice laptop and running Windows XP. Have always (almost always) had the situation that if choose restart it will log out and go to black screen and not restart (I'm sure it isn't shutting down). Just sits there and only by powering down can one start back up. I recall finding something on the web to make a change so that Windows XP could be sent through restart OK.

HP Pavilion M50 Monitor Microphone

Jun 27, 2006

I have a Pavilion M50 monitor that i'm using for my computer with windows 2000. The monitor works fine and all, but the microphone that comes attached doesnt.(comes with a cable that plugs into the mic jack)I thought this might be a driver problem, as windows simply recognizes the Monitor as a "Plug and Play Monitor" and when trying to download the driver from the HP support site it essentially said that the Pavilion M50 had no driver for Windows 2000/XP.I don't have another micropohne to plug into the jack, only USB ones which work fine. The Audio output of the jack right beside it works fine so i don't believe it is the sound card driver.

Recovery System On HP Pavilion

Oct 8, 2007

I have been trying to help a friend update or correct her winxp on her HP pavilion 520w I have a copy of my winxp cd from my dell system however I dont have the product key code to use it. So I have tried repeatedly to reset her computer to boot from her cdrom without success. I even posted here last week and someone suggested to tap the delete key when rebooting to change the boot sequence. I wasnt able to get it to work. However I did accidently discover that tapping F10 brings up the Recover system on her computer. Not knowing exactly for sure if I could just correct her winxp with recoverying the whole system I turned off the computer to stop it. I have 3 questions if the Recovery System on this HP model allows you to correct a current copy of your windows without reformatting? how to set this HP model to reboot from the CD-rom?

Virus Damage - New HP Pavilion

Sep 11, 2005

I have an almost new HP Pavilion zd8120cl, and run windows XP. I have all of my Virus protection (Norton System Works Premier 2005) updated ( I do it daily along with any MS updates).Yesterday I opened an email from a friend that was sending me some documents, right after this is when all the trouble began. The documents did not open but a quick screen note that said something like "downloading giant anti spyware program" I turned of my modem right away. I don't know if this is all related or just happened at the same time
