Hi:
If you make your set of W8.1 recovery media in case something goes wrong, you can find the W7 x64 drivers you need for your model at the link below. Do not use any of the BIOS or firmware files from this model on yours.
http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-15-p000-Notebook-PC-series/6936226/model/7174371/dri...
You will also have to go into the BIOS, enable legacy mode and disable secure boot in order to install and run windows 7.

Can you put windows on a new macbook pro

can you put windows on a new macbook pro ? yes or no, which notebook can i put windows on if not the macbook pro?

WIndows 7 is the only Windows OS supported by the new Macs.
You usually use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive and install the Windows product on the Mac.
This creates a system where you boot into Mac OSX OR Windows.
see more at http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
There are programs such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion that can create a Virtual Machine within Mac OSX - giving you access to both Operating Systems at once. You may get slight performance issues as you would be essentially running two Operating Systems at once.

HT3986 can i put windows on a second hard drive that is partitioned.

can i put windows on a second hard drive that is partitioned with out boot.camp deleting the second partition and making one bootcamp windows partition?
i want one partition to be OS extended journaled and one partition for windows. Or do I have to create the bootcamp partition on my main drive? . my main drive is a solid-state drive which I run OS X and it's not as big as my mechanical drive. I would like to put windows on my mechanical drive but still save a lot of the drive for my mac data. So I would like to have that drive partitioned with OS extended journaled. Whenever I run boot camp and choose that hard drive boot camp will only allow me to erase the whole hard drive and make one partition for Windows. Maybe if I put OS X also on the mechanical drive and then try? Would that work. Thank you for any information you might have. Robert

Yes! why not.Just make sure after you install windows,linux,freebsd or any other os set to use mbr if there is a gpt partition first ALWAYS gptsync.

Can someone please help a friend of mine get a permanent registration key (not a trial key that expires in 30 days) to replace his lost registration key for Adobe Photoshop CS2? His previous hard drive crashed and he no longer has his registration key. Th

Can someone please help a friend of mine get a permanent registration key (not a trial key that expires in 30 days) to replace his lost registration key for Adobe Photoshop CS2? His previous hard drive crashed and he no longer has his registration key. This is vital for his wedding business.

Thanks to everyone for the tips on my CS2 question. It turns out in the end it was some plug-in filter software that was causing the glitch, not a lack of an Adobe registration key. As for why he still uses CS2, it does the job for him, so that's all he needs.

I can't reinstall Windows Xp pro SP3 from installation disk on my IBM Thinkpad T40

Dear folk,
I have bought used IBM Thinkpad t40 in Germany.
It has Windows XP in German, wich works well but it makes some dificulties while I am using some functions.
I decided to reinstall Windows XP Pro in English.
My Windows XP Pro CD instructed me to install XP from BIOS.
This is how it works.
I got to BIOS by clicking blue button "IBM acsess".
I have got to BIOS released in 15/05/2003.
My Win XP Pro CD instructed me to press Delete to boot Cd-Rom and run Win XP installator.
Meanwhile, pressing "Delete" button did not produce any effect.
I got to Start up menu in BIOS, then I tried to run CD-Rom to run Windows XP from my installation CD.
But it has not produce any effect.
System stayed still.
As result, I can not install Windows XP English version.
Please, hint me how can I reistall Windows XP English on my notebook.
May be something with old BIOS version and I has to update it?
Should I use other menu in BIOS for installation (actually I used all of them)?
Or anything else? Please, advice.
Or I has to learn German? )))
Looking forward for any help.
Cheers
Vittor

Hi and welcome..
leave short your german XP on your T40 ... you need it to update BIOS..
first i prefer to update your BIOS ... Download this T40 BIOS
Version: 1RETDRWW (3.23) Release Date: 2007/07/03
you see this is abit newer ... follow the instructions to update...if update is successfull...you can go in BIOS
look at tab startup ... change startup sequence so that DVD/CD Drive is on first place and usb-device on second and HDD on third you can move this via F5 / F6.. exit and save with F10 ...
Download all drivers that you need from this page and save them on extra USB Stick or external HDD...you will need this to complete your install after XP is fresh installed
T40 Driver Table
Insert your English XP with SP3 in DVD/CD Drive and restart...
if a message comes press space to install from CD ...
follow the instructions.. delete (format drive C: where the german XP is ... and install XP in english..
when installation process is done... look at device manager you see many yellow questionmarks ..no installed drivers... Now use the pre-downloaded drivers from external HDD/USB Device... keep in mind that drivers are compressed when clicking on that the driver first deflates to c:\drivers\win\ [foldername]... sometimes you have to go in the correct folder and start setup to install it for real...
or you can install TVSU ThinkVantageSystemUpdater:
TVSU
that helps you .. but in that case you have to install Wireless or Cable Network first...
i dont prefer this because at this time you dont have a antivirus program ..
a small and good advice is AntiVir you can freewareversion download here
Free Antivir English
So good luck ...with fresh "english XP" on your T40...

Can i extract Windows XP pro from Virtual PC 7

Just purchased a new iMac and have installed Lion. I would like to load Windows and run Quicken 2009 using Bootcamp. I have Virtual PC for Mac Version 7. VPC7 has an embeded copy of Windows XP Pro. Does anyone know how to extract Windows XP Pro and load it on my iMac. Will Bootcamp recognize and utilize Windows XP Pro?
thanks for any advice

Yes, you can.
See the instrcutions here http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060527175405403
But be aware that the newer Macs (the 2011 released Macs) no longer support XP or Vista with BootCamp.
Only Windows 7 is supported on these Macs by Apple.

What 1TB HDD can i put in Macbook Pro 3.1 A1226

Hi
I want to replace my HDD in my Old Macbook Pro 3.1 A1226 - I have done this before , so that no worries
However Just need to know which HDD is Compatible , I am looking for a 1tb HDD, Not SSD as to expensive for that size .
Maybe the new HGST 1TB " http://www.hgst.com/travelstar-7k1000 " or something Similar
Will this one work - it's the correct size 2.5" 9.5mm thick but I do not Know about the SATA I , II, III - Mine is I believe Sata I , 1.5GBs link speed
So question is Can i put different SATA versions in are they all Backward Compatiable , would they just run on a Slower speed ??
Can someone recommend best Drive for my Computer
Thanks All in Advanced
Mark

There are only three major drive manufacturers left standing. You choices at that 1TB size in laptop form factor are few.
HGST stands for Hitachi Global Storage Technology, same as Hitachi, which bought IBM's drive business and the Deskstar and Travelstar brands years ago
WD is its own company,
I think Toshiba's drive operations disappeared into Seagate.
Would you be better off dividing your files into two groups -- those that you need to be portable, and those that could be on an external drive on your desk?

Can bootcamp run Windows 8 Pro in OSX 10.8.2?

Can Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2) run "Windows 8 Pro" in Bootcamp? Since Windows 8 Pro has the ability to run program from passed versions of Windows. This way Windows 8 Pro can run Bootcamp, even though it was made for Windows XP/Vista/7 specificly.
I need to know whether it can damage my MAC, or I am able to install Windows 8 Pro.
Thanks guys.

Windows 8 is not supported by Bootcamp. There are no Bootcamp Windows 8 drivers http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899

HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC: Can't Activate Windows 8 Pro after a Factory Reset (Hard Disc reformatted).

Hello:
I had to perform a drastic cleanup of the C-drive of my ENVY 17 Notebook and did a Factory Reset. I was able to reload Windows 8 Pro from my recovery USB drive.
However, Windows 8 Pro cannot be reactivated stating that the Product Key is Invalid or Blocked. I understand this is caused by having the OS drive formatted and completely cleaned.
My questions are:
Will the HP Recovery Disks (which is available for ordering) be able to help solve the above situation?
Will it allow me to reactivate my Windows 8 Pro?
Will the HP Recovery Disks/media contain or marked with the proper Windows Product Key?
Thanks,
Rico.
This question was solved.

Resolved! HP Tech Support took care of me Thank you so much.

I am trying to install Corel Draw x5 on windows xp pro via Parallels 7 and having an issue . it states about 99% through the install that it is missing a file any suggestions?

I am trying to install Corel Draw x5 on my new iMAC. I am trying to install it on windows XP Pro via Parallels 7. I have already installed some other programs without any issues so this has me puzzled. whenever the install reaches about 99% complete it says it can not find 2 files(sorry I cant recall what it was).

The error message I get is that iTunes is trying to incorrectly open Visual C services.
Is there somebody at Apple who actually read these things or are we on our own without any iTunes?

I can't drag files to my iPhone 5 from iTunes. I get an alert that says files can't be copied because I have iTunes Match enabled but I do not have iTunes Match that I know of

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

Thinking about putting Windows XP Pro on my 2011 13" i7 , 32 bit or 64 bit?

The title pretty much explains what I'm looking for feedback on. I understand the benefits of running a 64 bit OS, but any windows use will be light and I won't be likely to run any 64 bit programs in windows. So, would I have any problems with a 32 bit version of XP Pro? I already have a license for that, and I don't believe my key would be valid for a 64 bit install, unless I'm mistaken.
The off chance that someone out there is already sort of doing what I'm going for, is the only reason the Windows partition would exist would be for Crestron control system programming, or QSC / Lectrosonics DSP configurations via crossover ethernet, USB, and USB to serial adapters. Any chance anyones had success doing this with Apple machines? I'm looking at ditching my Acer PC that works assigned to me and with these exceptions, I can do the majority of my work stuff on OSX.

The new Macs do not support XP or Vista full stop - they only support W7 (32 or 64). As far as going around BootCamp there are loads of websites in cyberspace that show how, but get ready for a steep experimentation curve. W7 has Virtual XP in it (all but the least expensive edition) for those applications you hate to give up. Parallels (about $80) will allow XP right on OSX and is quite sophisticated and popular - no partition needed.

What type of expansions can be put in Mac Pro's

I've owned MBP and iMac but now I own a Mac Pro and I want to know what kinds of things can the system be expanded with besides HD, extra super drives. I need some ideas here, this is actually my very first tower computer and this is all new to me. I'm using the computer for video and some music. I hear of people installing Blu Ray but I thought Macs do not support them, I've heard of this e-sata thing, and I've heard of people putting different graphic cards. Give me some insight if you guys and girls don't mind.

You'd be surprised...! People come to Mac Pro not knowing how much RAM their apps will benefit from, or how to configure primary scatch, or never used any type of RAID and not sure what it means, and want to use mirror for their backup.
Of course then we get to, "if you have to ask if you need Mac Pro or not, or could get by with a _____" the general snap is, "if you have to ask, then you don't need one" too.
Or they get into these FW hubs and daisy chain and run into all sorts of problems as a result; or don't know that eSATA/USB/FW may not be native SATA.
The first time I got into SCSI controller, and first time it was a real option, I had a headache for months going over Ultra2 vs Ultra160.
