Do I need to re-install windows after I deleted Paralells to use VB?

Does anyone know the answer to this?
I deleted Parallels from from mac book pro a few months ago using the app delete program. I now want to install Suns Virtual Box on my mac and wondering to I need to re-install windows or is it still somewhere on my mac?
Thanks guys for the help...

Hi,
look inside your /User/Library/Parallels folder if the .hdd file that is your Parallels Windows VM is still present.
To my knowledge the uninstall of Parallels does not delete it.
Whether or not VirtualBox can use is for import is beyond my knowledge.
Regards
Stefan

I need to re-install acrobat after having to reformat my computer

I need to re-install acrobat after having to reformat my computer. How do I go about this. I did have the foresight to save my serial number . Do I just re-download it?

Download, install, then activate it with your serial number.

Tiger to Leopard... Need to re-install Windows Partition?

Hi everyone,
I'm running Tiger right now and I am going to buy Leopard soon. Judging from all the problems people are having. I have decided I am going to do an Erase and Install. However, I'm running Boot Camp under Tiger right now. If I do an Erase and Install, will that effect my current Boot Camp partition? Do I need to re-install Windows again or will Leopard see that its a separate partition and leave it in tack?
Thanks

Erase and install will not touch the Windows partition.

Can i install windows 7 on my imac 2012 using a external cd drive ?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have a Late 2012 iMac (without a built-in SuperDrive), you can use a USB drive to install Windows with Boot Camp and you shouldn't have any problem

Installing Windows to external hard drive or using parallels?

Will installing Windows on external hard drive protect mac from viruses better than parallels? Which option is more sound, installing windows on external hard drive or using parallels? My main concern is mac protection. Thanks

Hi,
Thank's for your reply.
Using Parallels and creating a virtual machine, I think it should be possible installing Windows to an external hard drive, shouldn't it?

For windows, first step ensure the services got created.
Start/Run/services.msc and click on the Standard tab (for slightly less clutter).
There should be 4 or 5 oracle entries, only two matter. The database instance service, ...ServiceXE and the listener ...TNSListener the others are not relevant for an XE install.
If the user that ran the installer program is not in the local administrators group, as stated in the install requirements documentation, more than likely the services did not get set up and the database won't exist.
If the services are there, try connecting and check the instance status. In a command box (Start/Run/cmd):
sqlplus /nolog
connect system
Password: <the system password entered in installer dialog ... >
... Connected.
select status from v$instance;
... OPEN ...
If you get that far, might be something not quite right with the networking configuration, several things can prevent the Apex web pages (http://...:8080...) from working.
As far as your configuration files, the client (tnsnames.ora) has a different value for the host than your listener.ora. So one, or both, of those could be incorrect. Check the command box hostname output, ipconfig /all, a few things might need adjustment.
The tnsnames.ora only matters for making sqlnet connections via a tnsalias. The tnsalias could be anywhere, including on your local hostname. To use a tnsalias, add it to the a connect after the '@' symbol, i.e. connect system@xe to get a connection to your XE specified in the tnsnames.ora file.
If you want to change the listener configuration, the first thing to do is stop the listener, then make adjustments in the listener.ora, start the listener, and sqlplus ... connect system .... alter system register; to get the instance registered with the listener.

Re-installing windows after upgrading hard drive?

Hi,
Ive been searching through Google and on this site but I keep finding info on how to upgrade the hard drive or how to upgrade windows but I cannot find the answer to my specific question.
How do I install windows on my Satellite A305-S6905 after upgrading the hard drive? will the software be in the recovery discs that I made of the laptop? Do I have to contact toshiba for the discs? Will I need to enter a software KEY?

You don't install anything. You restore the hard disk by laying down all the bytes it needs - one at a time.
The recovery discs that you created will restore the hard drive to its original factory-new contents. No product key is necessary because that installation is preactivated.
See the section Hard Disk Drive Recovery using the Recovery media, starting on p. 66 in the User's Guide.

Re-Install Windows after Harddisk change

Hi,I have a Lenovo V570 laptop. It is 3+ years old. I recently had to change the HDD. After the HDD change, local technician loaded Ubuntu. However, I wanted to go back to the installed Windows 7. I have the Activation Key. However, not sure from where I can get the Windows to dwnload.I tried Microsoft site. After validating the key, I got a message as the key is part of OEM and I need to contact the manufacturer. I had no luck in getting touch with themCan some one please help me to correct link for Windows 7 download? Thanks

Satellite A200-137 - Can not install windows after hard disk crash

last week my a200-137 crashed and now i have new hitachi 500 gb hdd on it, same as before the crash.
I install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull install i have to start windows, it says preparing windows for first use then i have to wait a moment and then i get the message that windows installation is not completed. But it is complete!
After trying for 3 times installing with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
After a couple of minutes and transering files, I get the message no disk found! It says that there is no hard disk on the laptop!
But when I start up the boot menu or the setup menu I can see the 500 gb Hitachi hard disk!
So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

> So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
On this virtual way it is not easy to say why you cannot install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same will happen when you replace HDD with the same or identical one.
Which capacity has had original HDD?
If possible try to obtain original Microsoft installation disc and check if HDD will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and start preinstalled OS.
About WXP installation: it is well known that WXP installation will not starts properly due to missing SATA driver that must be loaded before WXP installation starts.
Check this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.

Need to Re-install Windows on Mac with boot camp

I purchased a Mac Pro from someone about 6 months ago that already had a 2nd drive with Boot Camp and Windows XP Pro running on it. Today for the first time when I booted into Windows, I got an error message saying that I "may be a victim of software counterfiting" and that my version of Windows is not an authorized version in my region.
I have an a genuine Windows XP Pro disc with seriel that I want to now re-install over the bad version. The problem is when I try to run the CD for install, I get an error message stating that I cannot install from the CD because the version of Windows I am currently running is newer than that on the CD.
So my question is, how do I uninstall the bad version of Windows and re-install the version off the CD? I know I will lose my files and programs but everything is backed up and I will reinstall everything when I get back up and running.
Thanks for the help!!

You can format from Windows CD if that is what you mean by "windows side."
Updates are usually done while boot in the OS you want to 'upgrade' while custom is only done booted from other media.
With a Mac Pro you could easily install in many different ways than if you only had a laptop or imac.
But you can't "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps."
I don't even like upgrade of SL while booted in Mac OS.
If it was my Mac I'd install Windows 7 and make better use of your hardware and the performance afforded.

Failing to install Windows after virus removal

I recently detected a virus and our IT guy removed it successfully. It seems that the registry was "damaged" somewhere as i cannot re-install Windows. It goes past the first section (gathering files) and then +- 67% of the next
step - then I receive an error message. I also did a back up (before installation) and at 99% it showed an error and "cannot complete back up".
I was told i should re-install windows and this should correct the issues. I am also not able to do updates or sync any phones/tablets.

Try create a bootable scan with Windows Defender Offline and boot into your system and run a full system scan:
http://cyberdefend.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/scanner-in-your-pocket/
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/what-is-windows-defender-offline
If your Windows 7 is already running, you could create a repair disk:

And boot into your system and attempt to repair it.

I am hoping I can re install windows over the top of the current windows without losing my applications/licenses with boot camp but am not confident enough that a: re-installing windows wont mess up the mac osx and b: I cannot even see an option in the boot camp assistant which offer me the option.

Thanks for any help on this.
