Correct way to install new MotherBoard?

What's the correct way to install a new MB?
Do I format first, unhook the old stuff and hook up the new then install windows?
Thanks for the time.

Please read this - Moan Guide
Please create a signature of your current system (if you have one!!!) or else of the individual parts you wish to assemble.
When first building a new system it is always preferable to start afresh with clean hard drives, and a fresh OS install.
However, if you already have a system up and running and you are just upgrading the motherboard, then it is possible to keep an existing OS + data installation and update the relevant drivers.
IMHO, unless I had some VERY precious data and no other way of storing it whilst updating, I would start with a newly formatted hard drive and a fresh OS installation.

Best way to install new motherboard

I'm thinking of getting a new mboard - MSI of course (probably, maybe) - and was wondering what the best way was of installing onto an existing system with an os configured with different mobo settings. I had trouble installing my current nforce2 board because my os rejected it, expecting the via board that was there previously, so i had to reinstall windows. Is there a best practice for installing new boards with an installed os?

It can be done several ways, but it's not recomended.
From Via to nForce, you can DL and run the VIA Hyperion Installer and select to uninstall the chipset drivers rather than install. Look in the Control Panels Add Remove Programs and Uninstall any driver installation programs found. In most cases this should work, in some cases it doesn't. Then restart to complete the uninstallation, then shutwon completely and continue with the hardware swap. Do this and your Registry will become even more bloated if it's been running on the last installlation for some time and your the type that likes to tweak and try new programs all the time.
You can also Insert the XP CD and there are several options available to repair the OS or install right over the top of the current OS, I only recommend the latter as it's more of a bandaid and more to making sure you can recover your files before you do a proper installation.

Correct way to install patch in Oracle RAC

Hello,
What is the correct way to install a patch in an two-node Oracle RAC 11g on Windows server 2008? Each node has its own ORACLE_HOME.
Do I have to shut down one Node before I patch the other Node?
Or both nodes can be up when installing patch? First do it on Node 1 and then on Node2?
Thank you

Typically you can do a rolling upgrade, patch one node, then the next node without bringing down the entire cluster, but as rui_catcuddler suggested, follow the Oracle instructions as closely as possible.
We have found several bugs with RAC 11gR2 on Windows 2008 R2, some minor, some critical. If this is your Oracle version and platform then try to get to the latest Oracle RAC release 11.2.0.3.

Kevin

Installing New Motherboard

A month or so ago I got some advice here in the forums with regards to frequent freezes, and hangs on my 4 yr old eMac 1.25G. I was advised correctly, that there had been a problem with a bad batch of caps for a power supply on the motherboard. Apple ran a repair extension program that has since expired, and there doesn't seem to be any way to contact them.
I even went to the nearest Apple store (3 hours away), and tried to get with a genius. I was told It would be about a 7 hour wait.
After looking around online, I've found I can buy a whole new motherboard for my machine for about $200 bucks. I'm thinking about purchasing it and installing it myself.
I have a service manual with instructions for the installation, and have been inside the eMac before just looking around.
Any advice?
BTW: I don't have the discharge tool that the service manual calls for, so I am going to leave the machine plugged in and off for at least a week before attempting this to allow the display cap to discharge.
Thanks
Chris

I just replaced the logic board on my emac myself. It's a lot of work, but as long as you follow the service manual, you can do it. I did not discharge the CRT, since I was not working near it. Just use one of those wrist grounding straps. Here's some advice:
Keep track of all the screws, i.e. what part they belong to - since you have to remove SEVERAL components to actually get to the logic board. I wrote down on a piece of paper the name of the component, the order in which I removed it, the number of screws, and then put the screws right there.
You will need thermal paste (Radio Shack) when you put the heat sink back on the processor.
Be careful when re-connecting the down converter to the logic board. I had trouble getting the male pins lined up with the female socket, and I actually mangled one of the plastic sockets. Luckily, the pins still make contact, so no worries.
While you're inside, give the fan a good shot of compressed air to clean out the dust.

What is the correct way to install Leopard?

It seems like everytime I upgrade to a new OS, I end up screwing something up. I am borderline thinking about taking my laptop up to the apple store and having them install Leopard for me. Last week in another thread someone posted something saying I should backup my home directory? and save it to my external drive then install leopard and then drag that home directory back over. This was said to be a work around instead of using Archive and Install. I guess I could do that but are there other suggestions out there?
I just don't want to happen what happened when I installed Leopard on my desktop. I had about 4 libraries of stuff and another folder that was marked Previous system and that had a bunch of files and then I had the home directory for the old system! The bottom line I had a lot of stuff that I ended up deleting which freed up my hard drive space significantly.
I would like to make the install on my Macbook Pro clean, simple and painless as possible!
Thanks!
Oh yea if I decide to back up the home directory. Do I just drag the little house icon over to my external drive? If so, once Leopard is installed, do I drag it back to the same location I took it from?

If you don't mind reinstalling all your applications, backup your home folder to an external, boot off your Leopard Disk and go to Disk Utility. Erase your hard drive and format HFS+. Than do an Erase & Install. After that is complete, restart. Once you go through the setup procedures, perform all the software updates until they are all installed. Now move your Home Directory back. Finally, start reinstalling your applications. This will give you a brand new Leopard system that should work fine.
First however, make a bootable clone of your HD to an external drive for backup. You need to erase the drive and format to HFS+ with a GUID partition table. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to make the clone.
To back up the home folder, yes, drag the little house icon to an external, but with the bootable clone, this isn't really neccesary.
This isn't the easiest way to install Leopard, but it gives you the best chance of having no issues.

Asking for 16-digit serial number after installing new motherboard

Hi, my computer's motherboard died and I got a new one installed. I own Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium and it is installed on this machine. Since I got the new motherboard, if I start up an Adobe application the Adobe Application Manager pops up and asks me for a 16-digit (all numerals) serial number. But the CS6 serial number is NOT all numerals and is NOT 16 digits, so it won't let me type it in. I have no other serial number. How can I fix this? Currently my apps are still working, but I think they think they are a trial version that expires in 30 days. I'm using it on a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.3. Thanks.

YOu are wrong. Serial numbers are always only numbers. What you have is an eligibility code. Since you obviously already activated it a nd exchanged it for a final serial number, it must be somewhere on your account or your archived e- mails. If not, contact support directly by web chat.

Installed new motherboard/cpu; now when I open Adobe XI I get a popup stating I have program loaded on more than one computer and I should input a new code????

Can anyone provide help? Thanks.

This is normal if you change the motherboard or CPU. A lot of software uses the CPU serial number or similar to work out whether this is a new computer install. So just input the code as required.
If this is a volume license, contact your license coordinator.
If this doesn't help please let us know the exact message.

What is the best way to install new version... adobe always leaves stuff behind from the old version

Hi,
I've gone through the installation of a new version, well... 8 times before. And have noticed that adobe has the nasty habit of not cleanly uninstalling the previous versions...
What is the best way to do this?
Should I do a regular install and trust adobe this time to completely remove the old version and its associated directories?
Or should I uninstall the old version and install the new one? I've always been afraid to go this route bocause of the organizer files.
Thanks for your comments.

So, just to be clear: the "proper, Adobe-recommended" way to go about an upgrade would be to install the new version and THEN remove the older version by means off "Add/Remove programs" ??
Thanks to all for your help.

Correct way to install SHARE POINT 2013 ON WINDOWS 2012 R2

HI
INSTALLING SHAREPOINT 2013 ON WINDOWS 2012 R2 IS NOT SUPPORTED , when i search for this i found a kb article
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2891274
SharePoint 2013 SP1 support in Windows Server 2012 R2,
So in windows server 2012 R2 machine i should install
1) install sharepoint pre requisites
2) run sharepoint setup and install binraries
3)and after download sharepoint 2013 SP1 and install
is the right steps will i do for INSTALLING SHAREPOINT 2013 ON WINDOWS 2012 R2?
adil

Get the SharePoint 2013 w/ SP1 ISO from the MSDN or VLSC (or Download Center if using SharePoint Foundation 2013) -- this is required for Windows Server 2012 R2, other media will not work. Follow the standard SharePoint install process, e.g. run the pre-req
installer, and then install SharePoint.
Once completed, install the appropriate version of SP1 for your product. See http://thesharepointfarm.com/2015/04/list-of-good-sharepoint-2013-service-pack-1-packages/
for a list of packages.

Currently after opening new window as mentioned above, I can't do anything. If I press ok button then it will give me login page and if I press cancel button then my screen component's state become invalid.

Installing new layer styles in PSE 7

What is the correct way to install new layer styles into pse 7? ( I use Vista)
Do I move my extracted style file into the layer styles folder by following this pathway: program data>adobe>photoshop elements>7.0>photo creations>layer styles.
Do I need to create a metafile too?
Thank you for helping me, I have about a dozen styles I need to add, but I am unsure how to get it done properly.

Hello,
You need to create a metadata.xml file too to view it in a specific category of your choioce.
You need to paste the two things :
1) .asl file.
2) metadata.xml,
to the following location:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Photo Creations\layer styles.
Here you need to add the two files and relaunch PSE. This will show you the presets in the layer styles category with.
While creating the metadat.xml file you need to take care of two things:
1) Add a new category name so that you can easily find them.
2) You need to verify that Type value is set "Style as mentioned : <type value="style" />
Hope this helps you.

XFI Drivers - Whats the correct way

Considering that after I installed my XFI Extreme music card into my PC and installed the drivers from the CD played games, rebooted and it asks me to reinstall the drivers for the multimedia device.
What is the correct way to install drivers for these cards so that you can reboot your computer without it freaking out?
The only way i've been able to successfully keep the XFI installed is by doing these things in order.
Uninstalling the software
Uninstall the drivers via the CD uninstall tool
Cleaning the registry with aggressi've options (JV 6 power tools)
Using Driver Cleaner Pro and removing all creative audio and Creative audio lite files.
turning the machine off and moving the Sound blaster card to another PCI slot.
Turning back on and using the drivers off the CD.
If i use any other drivers, the Web update 2 or Beta 3, the card will not install.
this is on this system:
AMD Barton CPU 2500+
ASUS A7n8X-x motherboard 00 bios rev
WD800 80 GB hard dri've
Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT vid-card
GB IBM ram

Well this is a strange problem... So what you are essentially saying, is that Windows doen't keep the the records of your newly installed hardware... Or the hardware may be assigned to new resources after restart, which might cause the Installation to commence.
The 2nd can happen pretty often on an ACPI System, or if you change the "Plug and Play OS" section in your BIOS Setup. But even if this happens, Windows should have still kept the Installation Information in its registry, so it wouldn't bother you searching for the drivers.
So I believe it has to lie with your Windows installation...
What exactly do you mean with "the card will not install" with the newer drivers? Are you getting an error message?
Have you tried the?infamous manual installation? (Extract your downloaded drivers, then go to the \Drivers subfolder and execute Setup from there. Select the "...Creative shared files" option.)

New motherboard - computer now "not authorized"

Had to install new motherboard on computer. Ipod connects but "certain songs not downloaded - this computer not authorized" - that is, none of my purchased itunes songs will now download to ipod.
Related problem? Items downloaded from Audible will not transfer to iPod. After appearing to download, this message: Device Timeout: \device\hardisk5\DR22 was not completed before timeout period." Then "Attempting to copy to the disk 'SUSANs IPOD' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have done a soft reset. Any other solutions?

Correction to my orig message: A couple of Audible programs did download, so maybe this a different problem - not one about "authorization." Susan

No, there is no way of installing new fonts.

Correct way to restore from Time Machine backup - Lion clean install

I did a clean install of Lion, and am wondering — what's the correct way to restore files in my Home folder to my new installation?
For example, I simply dragged over my iTunes folder from the "Latest" Time Machine backup.
Perhaps instead I should restore from the backup differently? For example, open the ~/Music folder, then open Time Machine.app, and restore that folder through that?
I always thought that manually dragging the "Latest" backup from the disk should do the trick the same way? Or an important question is — can some files be somehow excluded?
I did everything through dragging, and haven't noticed problems... BUT, perhaps I should go back and re-do everything the "right" way if there is one?
(I purposefully avoided doing a Restore, as I didn't want any of the caches, Applications and Library items restored — wanted to start fresh.)

For convenience mostly. I use the Terminal a lot so I have lots of "dot files" that are at the root of my home directory and hidden.
One problem is that many of those programs have data in Music, Photos, etc all organized by databases somewhere in ~/Library. You have to make sure to get them re-joined. It can be done. You just have to be careful with it. If you lose your iPhoto archive in the process, the first thing someone is going to ask is why didn't you use Migration Assistant.
Until recently, I performed all my major MacOS X upgrades using this manual procedure and, for me, the extra hassle was worth the cleanliness. I have lost a couple of software registration codes that I couldn't ever get back. C'est la vie. I would keep my old Library folder around for quite some time until I was sure I wouldn't need anything out of it. These days, I'm too busy and too lazy. I just use one of the automatic methods.
