Can I use Win Xp setup apllication, found in "I386" folder?

Is it all possible, to reinstall win xp using the setup file found in the I386 file on my harddrive, it asks for a cab1 file, but I can only assume it has only been extracted as there are a load of files with the last letter of their file name replaced by an underscore, if not is there a way to reinstall from the recovery CD's without reformatting, and recreating the partition on my harddrive>

Hello Evan
As far as I know it is not possible to reinstall the unit using I386 folder. For installation you should use recovery CD. Before the OS installation the partition must be reformatted but it must NOT be recreated (free space changing).
In this case you must use Expert mode installation and you will be able to install the OS on persisting partition (C).
Please do not choose the option to create a new partition because on this way the whole HDD will be formatted, just installation on persisting partition.
Bye

    can i use win 10 in gigabyte q2006

    Hello,
    If the drivers for the gigabyte q2006 work on Windows 8.1, then you shouldn't have any trouble with drivers not working in Windows 10. If you do have issues installing the drivers, install them with compatibility mode set to Windows 8.

    Perhaps it is a bug in french translation.

  • How can i use text only instead of text plus the folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar; older firefox allowed this.

    I prefer using text only instead of text plus a folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar because it used less space and I can display more bookmark folders in that toolbar. Is that possible in Firefox 4.0? It was possible in the earlier versions of Firefox. If it is possible in Firefox 4.0 how do I do that? Thank you.

    First install the "Stylish:" extension then you have thousands of styles available to choose from, most consist of only a few lines, and you can modify them to suit yourself.

  • Can I use WIN 8.1 drivers for WIN 7 ?

    I have HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p147ne
    it is coming with windows 8.1
    I've installed widows 7 on it, coppied the drivers from win 8.1 
    now when I installed the drivers on win 7 , it keeps telling me that these drivers may crash the system 
    I continued the process >> updated the drivers after installation 
    windows is now working 
    The question is
    Are these drivers (which are extracted from windows 8.1) will affect the hardwares of the PC ??? even if they are not designed for win 7 ?
    will there be any problem in the performence ? 

    Hi:
    If the drivers are working, then you can reasonably expect them to continue working.
    If you ever have a problem with the performance or drivers, etc., you can use all of the W7 x64 drivers and software from this model on yours except the BIOS and firmware files).

  • Can I use Win Xp as a scratch disk?

    Just a quickie - Illustrator cs3 is on my apple mac.  But I run Bootcamp and have win XP edition on my partition (this is not the same as parallels where you can switch between operating systems without restarting) bootcamp you have to restart the mac.  But in the preferences under scratch disks it seems to give me the option of win xp in the drop down dialogue to use as a scratch disc.
    Thankyou

    Not too technical at all.
    Scratch Space is used to store common document data like Document size, Color Mode, etc.. data that can be retrieved quicky when needed.
    It is set aside when you launch Illustrator, then deleted when you quit Illustrator.
    (Photoshop works similarly)

  • How can you use Win 7 upgrade disk if Boot Camp 4 doesn't support XP or Vista?

    I've just purchased a Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade disk to upgrade my Win XP Pro. I haven't installed Lion or Boot Camp 4 yet but am concerned that if I need to reinstall Win 7 in the future the upgrade disk will require that Win XP Pro be installed first.
    If  my Win XP Pro isn't supported and can't be reinstalled in Lion/Boot Camp 4, does anyone know what my options would be?
    Can't get to Microsoft tech support without having a post-install product ID and their forums don't seem to cover this specific question for Mac/Boot Camp users or VMWare/Parallels users. I'm hoping that once activated that might be enough to turn the upgrade disk to a full version for reinstalling, but I'm not betting on it.
    Any help appreciated before I permanently remove my XP Boot Camp partition for a clean install of Win 7 Ultimate.
    Thanks

    Unless someone happens to have the exact same system and is running Windows 8 on it, no one is likely to be able to tell you definitively, given just your specs.
    However, you could try running the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant and have it check for you...

  • HT1364 Can I use this procedure to consolidate my iTunes media folder along with my wife's, both in a new, common location?

    Previously we have both kept our music folders independent. I now want to use the procedure described in HT1364 to move both of our music folders into a single, common location. The idea is to use the same media folder but still keep each of our iTunes users separate so that each can maintain its own playlists, etc.
    We share the same home PC but each of us has its own user and as such, each of us have a separate iTunes.  This way we can each keep sync'ing music to each of our separate iDevices but share the same source music folders.
    FWIW, we both use the same appleID for purchases, but each of us have individual AppleIDs for iCloud syncing. We mostly have differents songs, but I estimate that we have about 10% duplicate songs/albums, both form iTunes purchases and uploads from CD's.
    The procedure above describes how to change the location of your music files. Using this procedure I will move my media files to the new, common location. I wil then switch to my wife's iTunes user and will repeat the process.  While doing my wifes procedure I'm wondering what will happen when it detects the duplicates... will it just ignore them? ask me if I want to replace the song file, or just crash and mess up either or both of our libraries?
    I assume that this is the proper way to set up a family Apple ecosystem.  This way when a new member of the family begins collecting music he/she can join the "family music library" and sync only the songs she wants and so on.
    I will welcome your comments and implications of doing procedure above. And also, your comments on the proper way to configure a family ecosystem, if this is not the proper way to do it.
    Merry Christmas to all of you.

  • How can I use Auto Import to name files after the folder they are dropped into?

    I'm camera tethered on a new Macbook Pro Retina, Lightroom 5, all latest software and OS. Using  EOS Utility to connect and drop into a DROP folder. When Lightroom Autoimports, I would like it to rename the file after the destination folder. Capture One has this feature and I could have sworn I saw a drop down menu on one of the naming tokens in LR5 about a month ago.  ANY IDEAS?

    The closest you can come is to create a File Naming Template that includes "Custom Text" as a part of the file name.  Then, you will have to change the Auto Import Settings to use this Template when auto-importing and manually type that folder name in every time you change folders.  There is no "Folder" token of which I am aware.

  • Can I use "~" in Automator instead of user's home folder?

    I want to create an Automator action that I send to someone that can put a file in their iTunes Folder. If I create it on my computer however, Automator uses the actual file path to MY iTunes Library.
    Is there a way to use the "~/Music/iTunes/" to have Automator use a relative link to THEIR home folder?
    Can't figure this one out. Thanks

    Use ~username/Music/iTunes
    Be aware that you will have to change the permissions on ~username's Music and iTunes folders to allow you read and write access. All users be default have read only access to other users' iTunes folder and no access at all to the Music folder.

  • CAn you use excel connection manager to connect to a folder that is protected with a username and password?

    I have folder on my server that my ssis package needs to get into. I have an excel file that I am connecting to using Excel Connection Manager. My ssis package is unable to connect to the folder. How do I get this to work. Thank you

    Hi RythmMusic,
    I am not sure how the folder is protected with username and password, Are you talking about folder is at restricted access and rest it ask you to punch window credential. In that case you need to run the ssis package with account which have access to that
    folder or use a proxy account to run under.
    If it protected from third party software then it need to decrypted by that third party software only. SSIS won;t be able to help here.

  • I can no longer download and save files. They are now saved with a ".part" suffix that I can not use or open. What happened, I used to do this all the time?

    Downloads seem to be happening normally at first but the file shows up with a file extension of ".part" that I can not use or open. If I refresh the folder where it was downloaded to, it disappears as though it wasn't there at all.
    I used to do this and it just yesterday started to give me problems. It doesn't seem to matter what file type I do this with as PDF, MP3 and EXE files have all shown this problem.
    Please help!

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
