Can I downdgrade an NB200-12W from Windows 7 to XP Pro

I'm looking to purchase an NB200-12W for the bigger Hard drive, however I need to be running XP Pro in order to link into my company domain (active directory) Can I downgrade to XP Pro (I have a full copy of XP Pro)or will I have problems?
Thanks
Ian

You could do a dual boot install so you have both selectable at boot time. That's what I did but in reverse since XP was already installed. I created two new partitions, D and E. XP is on C, Windows 7 is on D, and all my data files, music, movies, etc. is on E. I did this with the utilities on the Hiren's boot CD. I created a bootable thumb drive and installed the Hiren's files on it.
Since Windows 7 was installed first, installing XP will overwrite the Windows 7 boot sector. To restor the computer to dual boot both OSs, you would have to then start a reinstall of Windows 7 until you get to the repair option. Then select repair boot and it will fix the boot sector so that you can select either Windows 7 or XP.
Let us know what you decided to do and how it worked out.

    Hi iTunes-1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.  
    iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
    Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
    To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
    After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
    Here is an example of what section three might look like:
    In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
    If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
    If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
    Run CD Diagnostics again.
    Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

    Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS.  Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive.   Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
    I hope this information helps ...

    hei , i was window user an just switched to ipone 6 , can i merge my contacts group from windows to IOS ? please quide

    Right, I finally managed to get it sorted out.
    iCloud only accept version 3.0 vcards, and the one I was using were version 2.1 so that's why it wasn't picking it up. So the easy way to get that sorted out is, use a gmail account.
    I know you don't wanna do it because you think it's too much hassle and stuff, but trust me it only takes 5 minutes and that's it.
    1. Create a Gmail Account.
    2. Export your Old VCard files to the Gmail Account.
    3. Now Import them from Gmail to your PC again.
    And, that's it, that's just makes the new imported version in 1 file contains your all contacts in version 3.0. Now you can just upload that on icloud and then sync it with your iphone.
    That's what I did and it worked, and I am sure if you wanna replace this file in the Contacts folder under your User Account in Windows and then try to sync Contacts in Tunes, it should work, but as I said, I did it with iCloud and it worked for me. So aye, that's pretty much it. Phewwww..
    Been searching for it for the whole day and it took 5 minutes in the end, badass...
    Anyway, don't lose hope and always Google for everything!

  • Can you convert a favourites file from windows to a bookmark file for mac?

    can you convert a favourites file from windows to a bookmark file for mac?

    I can't answer for Internet Explorer but you should be able to export Bookmarks from FireFox. If you can't export from IE you may be able to import from EI to FireFox first.
    In FireFox, menu BookMarks>Organize Bookmarks, then in the pane which opens, menu File>Export (that's how it works on Linux so Windows should be broadly similar). The result should be an html file.
    You may be able to import this into Safari on your Mac; certainly you should be able to import it into FireFox and perhaps from there to Safari if necessary.

  • Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?

    Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?
    I saw Windows XP picture on this website. And I would like to try mac os while using Windows 7.
    And does Windows 7 on MacBook Pro support high quality game experience? Im sick and tired of reducing to low quality graphics to play some nice games such as GTA 4 and new released games. Hope I can play games with high quality.

    If you have a brand new MacBook Pro or have installed Lion on an older one, you can only instal Windows 7 on Boot Camp (for some reason you can't use Vista or earlier). If you have a Windows 7 CD and a license, it's pretty easy to do via Boot Camp. See here for instructions: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macos
    If you install via Boot Camp, Windows 7 will run as fast as your computer is. Generally, MacBook Pros are very fast laptops, so you should be pretty good. That being said, just like any laptop, if it's a cheaper MacBook Pro, you won't have access to as capable graphics processing as more high-end machines. So if it's a newer game with crazy impressive graphics, you will likely not be able to tap into the highest settings on the game on any laptop.

  • Can I convert my Elements licence from Windows to IOS

    I am using Premier Elementson on a windows 7 PC, can I convert this to run only on an IMAC running IOS Yosemite ?

    What version of Premiere Elements on your Windows 7? Nevertheless....
    No if all you have are Premiere Elements Windows installation files from purchase of an online download.
    Premiere Elements Windows does not work on Premiere Elements Mac and vice versa. Also, project files from Windows version do not work on Mac version and vice versa.
    If you had purchased the box packaging you would be expected to have two discs, one for Windows version and one for Mac version. Then use the Mac disc for installation of the product
    on Mac.
    If your purchase was from online download, then all you have are installation files specific to the computer operating system to which the files were downloaded.

  • Can I use OS 9 printer from Windows XP? Software needed?

    I have a printer that I have been using from Windows XP by use a program called PC Maclan, but this computer went down and I found out that they make that software anymore. This program was great because it allowed me to browse the Mac network when adding a printer, but for some reason it doesn't do that anymore when I installed it on other XP computers. The replacement software for PC Maclan does not work on OS 9, does anyone know of a program that will?

    Is it a USB printer perchance? OS9 at the very least has USB Pinter Sharing available.

  • Can only connect to smb share from Windows as "nobody"

    I'm trying to share some folders on my Mac using samba. When I connect from Windows, I do not get asked for a username and password, and I get connected as a guest user (nobody). What do I do to get connected as a real user? I've tried playing with /etc/smb.conf, but I'm not sure what to change.

    when you enable smb in haring system preferences on your mac, did you check the box to enable smb on a specific account?
    if you did, when you initiate smb from windows try entering

    Platform swaps only apply to the latest release versions of Adobe products, so your Acrobat 9 will not qualify.  You might be able to get it working on the Mac if you install a Windows emulation program.
