I need windows Xp professional restore disks.

Hello,
I recently posted that i needed restore disks for an old computer (a satallite m45) that you no longer carry the disks for, and you gave me a nice list of sites to get the disks from. I ordered from the one site that carried the disks for my computer and ran the disk and it worked as far as i know. But apparently frrom this company, I'm not allowed the windows xp professional disk that would restore the windows portion of my computer to the propper finctonality, so I'm still not able to use my computer yet.
So i was wondering, are you guys able to send me a general copy of the windows xp professional restore disk that came with my computer, or do i have to order that from the online windows people. And if not, would buying a new version of windows work if i set that up on my computer.
THank you for any response i get.

Yeah, sorry, I might've not made myself clear.
the restore disk i bought online only restored my computer to the factory settings, which means everything gets deleted off it. But the disk doesn't include reinstalling windows XP, and i don't have an origional windows Xp home edition disk, as my computer didn't come with one since it was already installed on it.
And since my computer is too old for you guys to carry any restore disks, i'm unable to order a new one from you guys, unless there is some special way that you can send me a generic copy of windows xp restore disk that would work for my computer.
So i hope that makes it clearer. My question is, I'm wondering if there is any way that i can order a windows xp home edition restore disk from Toshiba even though my computer is too old for you guys to apparently still carry the things when i try to order it from the site. If so, I'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks

Need Windows XP Professional/MacBook Pro answers before installing

I have a Windows XP Professional CD FULL Version that I got right after it was released to retail. It does not have any SATA drivers (got it in 2001), but I was able to integrate (slip in) Service Pack 2 from instructions I saw in another post. The original XP CD has not been in use for a while and needed to know if I use the laptop that has a newer version of Windows on to create the new CD will it work on a MacBook Pro Intel i5 with 10.6.3 (has all current updates) . There are some programs I need to use, but the pc laptop is 29 months old and is about had.
This is my first Apple anything so I don't know what from the Windows world will work with it or not. Also do I need to get drivers for the hardware I currently have on my apple for the Windows side (example: do I need to find the current audio/video/memory card/ethernet drivers) of the partition.

I just installed win xp on my mac, for the first time. (dont know much about macs, but i am from a windows background).
Not sure about creating a new cd, but the steps i took were as follows.
Go to finder> apps> utilitys> boot camp.
Then create a windows partition. ( I made mine 10GB as i dont need alot of space).
Then it asks for your windows CD. ( the origional one you have i am guessing should work fine, youll just have to do more windows updates than a newer disc).
make sure when going through the windows install, you install it on the "BOOT CAMP" partition, and you must format it, DO NOT leave it intact, as it wont work.
If you format it as FAT, then you can transfer files from your mac to it but its not necessary.
But formatting it as NTFS isnt a problem either, you just cant transfer things onto it when your are in OSX.
after its installed it will need drivers, which is easy they are on your OS X dvd, just put it in and run the boot camp file to install the boot camp drivers and utility.
one thing i found was that it defaulted to boot to windows after i installed it.
if you want to boot into os x, then hold in the option button when you switch it on and you can select os x.
and you can change the default boot partition in system preferences under, the startup option.
so far i havnt had any windows programs that wouldnt work on my windows install. but ive only had it for about 24 hours!

I might need to use a restore disk to revive an HP Pavilion dv6--6167cl.

My son did not create the restore disk when he got the machine and it (the laptop computer) make have been damaged when we suddenly lost electrical power in a windstorm. I understand that he can get a restore disk by asking for one from HP, but I have a restore disk for a HP Pavilion Slimline s5650z. Can I use my Pavilion restore disk to revive my son's laptop? Would it hurt anything to try to do that?
Alternatively, any other way to revive the PC aside from using a restore disk?
Thanks,

Sorry, but your Slimline recovery discs will not load on another computer. Please indicate what exactly the laptop is or isn't doing.

New hard drive, Leopard upgrade, restore disks needed?

Hi
I have a macbook which shipped with Tiger and ilife 06.
Several months ago I upgraded to Leopard and ilife 08 - both great.
Now I want to upgrade my hard drive to a bigger one, so I just need a bit of advice please.
There is plenty of advice here and on the apple support site about how to upgrade your hard drive, but not when you have upgraded the OS.
The simplest way would be to use CCC to clone it, but I want a clean install. I hope that I don't have to use the restore disks, then upgrade both OSX and ilife - that would be painful!
Anyway, here goes.
I have a SATA enclosure.
What is the best way to proceed? Do I need either of the restore disks that came with the macbook, or do I just need the new Leopard and ilife (retail) upgrade disks?
I am happy with taking the old drive out (after doing a last time machine backup - just in case!) and putting it into the external enclosure and putting the new drive in the macbook.
Then, what is the best way to restore my data? Time machine? Migration assistant? Dragging and dropping everything? (what about preferences & settings?)
Thanks for all your help.

Thanks - do I need the old restore disks that came with the mac at all, or are they just Tiger, ilife 06 and a bit of free software, therefore not needed. I am a little concerned that they contain some drivers etc that i might need.
I have retail disks of Leopard and ilife 08, bought separately.
Thanks
Karl

Lenovo G550 Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

This Notice refers to 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U models of the Lenovo G550 notebook PC’s only.
The 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U G550 systems ship preloaded with Windows XP Professional, and include a Windows 7 Professional upgrade disk.
Issue: When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, some users have been unable to successfully complete the upgrade.  The most commonly reported failure point is when the customer is asked to insert a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) key. The Microsoft Upgrade process for Win XP to Win7 requires the upgrade to be executed from a ‘cold boot’. If the Windows 7 DVD is inserted while the system is running, the installation process will auto run. However, at the end of the installation process, the system will ask for a 25-key Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The Win7 upgrade process will not successfully finish the installation using this method. The installation DVD must be inserted while the machine is powered off and not running.
When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, Microsoft advises that this process be done via a custom ‘clean’ installation.  Per Microsoft.com; "A custom (clean) installation erases the contents of your PC's hard drive. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7".  The clean install will remove any pre-loaded software applications, including VeriFace, One Key Recovery, and other applications that were installed by Lenovo or the user.
Customers should review the following information prior to performing the Windows 7 Professional upgrade.
The Windows 7 installation procedure provides a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional edition. During this process, all contents of the C: drive including all applications, files, programs and user data will be archived in the Windows.old folder.  The data should be available for access, but the applications and programs will not run, and Windows 7 appropriate versions will need to be installed. Lenovo STRONGLY recommends that external backups or all user data are made prior to initiating the upgrade in order to prevent permanent data loss.
Correct Windows 7 Upgrade Procedure:
1) Power off system
2) Insert Windows 7 disk in the DVD drive
3) Power on system and press F12 to access the boot order menu
4) Select the option to start from the DVD / Optical drive
5) Follow the on screen directions as Windows 7 installs
6) Remove the DVD at the end of the process and reboot to Windows 7
Windows 7 has native drivers that will fully support most of the hardware on Lenovo G550 systems.  In order to maximize the functionality of the Trackpad and the Power Management system, the appropriate Lenovo drivers must be installed. The most current Lenovo Windows 7 drivers and applications are available for download here. Please check this site periodically for updates.
Recovering to Windows XP by using One Key Recovery:
The One Key Recovery feature can restore the factory XP downgrade preload at any time, but will erase all other data.
Important: All user data should be saved prior to implementing the following procedure
      1) Power off the system
2) Press the recovery button (small round button next to the power button)
3) System will start and OKR (one key recovery) application will load
4) Select System Recovery from the menu
5) Select option to Restore to factory default
6) Click “Start” button to recover your system partition

Error message displayed: the product key will not work with this version of windows 7 and I need to reinstall or get a serial for windows 7 professional .
The recovery disk set is supposed to have an SLP key embedded, so that you do not need to activate it, as long as the disk set matches the OS version that is nominated on the COA attached to the laptop.
If it really does say "windows 7 ultimate", then there is something odd going on. Can you please double check that it says "ulitimate"?
With Windows 7 licening issues and keys, the terminology needs to be quite exact to get to the best answer for you!

My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows. The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable. The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop. Can you point me to the best way to do this? - Thanks

If you have the two allotted activations already and one was lost on the hard drive that failed then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

HP Pavilion dv6 7007tx. How to restore HP startup logo with windows 7 professional.

HI
I bought HP Pavilion dv6 7007tx noteboook two days back and installed Windows 7 Professional.
I've noticed that while booting up, its HP start up logo does not appear, it staright away loads with Windows 7.
How can i restore its original HP logo before Windows 7 starts up.
Thanks
AftabFarid

Hello
Thanks for your prompt response. I have tried to solve the matter by following the steps given in the first link but i was unable to find BOOT SECTION and also BOOT SECTION DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN. All i could find in the BIOS setup were MAIN, SECURITY, DIAGNOSTIC, SYSTEM, CONFIGURATION & EXIT Menues, therefore the matter is still unsolved. Will i need to reinstall Windows 7 again to fix this?
Secondly, there is another issue with my newly bought machine HP Pavilion dv6 7007tx is that, my sound often will not work particularily for multimedia or videos when i am using it on battery or even if it is booted on battery. It works perfectly (so far) when i am powering it with adaptor. While using on battery, the windows normal sound would work fine but multimedia songs or videos sometimes work and most of the time do not work. i've tried to fix this while gone through all possible options. Even the F11 mute botton does'nt lit indicaing that sound for multimedia will not work now.
Please advise to overcome both the issues.
Thanks.

I too have the error 0x81000033 when running the full system image backup. I could not assign a drive letter to my 100mb drive with the Disk Management. So, I went into the diskpart and ran the following commands:

Need help sourcing Lenovo Soleil S620 drivers or restore disk

Hi all,
I have in front of me an ancient tablet PC from Lenovo known as a "Soleil S620". I believe it was an Asian-market only product.
From this webpage (http://www.howah.com.cn/news/en/news_detail.asp?id=50):
"Lenovo Soleil S620 - The world’s first notebook computer with rotatable LCD monitor"
"Soleil S620 is the world’s first notebook computer with an 180o-rotatable 12" TFT-LCD display. The TFT-LCD display has gone through rotation test of over 20,000 times. The product is also the lightest 12" notebook in the market, which is only 17.8mm thick and weighs a mere 1.6kg. Embedded with Intel’s Centrino chip, Soleli S620 is the only notebook of such a light weight that is preinstalled with Bluetooth technology."
It's a cute, lightweight and slow little number, and somewhere along the way someone wiped the drive and installed a non-genuine copy of Windows XP (in Chinese, too). I'd like to return it to its Windows XP Tablet PC Edition roots if possible.
I'm betting a restore disk is going to be hard to come by, so if I have to just reinstall it with a genuine copy of XP without enabling the tablet transformation and touch screen, etc, that's fine, but sourcing the drivers is going to be difficult.
Help? Anyone? Thanks in advance!

sorry but this is the closest thing i can find and sorry for it is written in chinese

Need help accessing the factory default restore disk - Ideapad b5609

I am working on a friends PC. It will not start up in normal mode but will start in safe mode. This PC has Windows 7 64 bit installed.
I don't know whjat he did to this except I used Malwarebytes to remove some malware. After I removed the malware, the PC would not boot in safe mode, but would get stuck at classpnp.sys. I searched for a solution for this and the only thing I could get to work was renaming classpnp.sys to classpnp.old. This allowed the PC to boot in safe mode again but this needs to get fixed.
What I wanted to do was access the factory default restore disk, back it up to USB ( No dvd's) if possible and reinstall a fresh copy of the system. - But I don't even know if this laptop has a factory restore disk, Is there one?
The PC owner says he didn't get a dvd when he bought the PC. This person was born without arms and is not too PC literate. He uses the PC for e-mail and going to porn sites. It's possible he did have a dvd for the PC if it came with one but he just doesn't remember or even knew what it is.
I do see a Backup and Repair app in the start menu / Maintenence folder but It doesn't start from safe mode. One Key Recovery doesn't work either.. I don't know what it does but I was going to look at it to see if it will help fix the PC.
I tried a windows system recovery disk, and it says it cannot fix the problem. My friend told me this PC is over a year old so i assume it's out of warrenty.
Please help, Thank you.
Moderator Note; similar threads merged

I've already removed the malware with malwarebytes and double checked this with the offline version of Defender. The PC is over a year old.. the owner tells me it's not in warrenty. I didn't want to mess up the hidden recovery partition so i installed a fresh copy of windows 7 to C drive. Since I can now boot into C i will try to install and use OneKey recovery to access and reinstall from the hidden partition.
I understand there is an Enginers version of Onekey Recovery I may have to get if i have problems - it's the version of OKR that the OEM's use to set up the partition in the first place.. from my info anyway..
This is the second time tryiong to fix it from a fresh install on C drive. The first time had a Windows.old folder I wanted to try to reinstall stuff from, but on trying to back that up to a external hard drive via USB, the system crashed and said missing master boot record. A StartUp Repair disk ran 6 times could not fix the problem ( same disk I used to install.. told me it didn't find any problems !
Other odd behavior.. when i was copying the windows.old folder, it didn't tell me i had so many files to go.. always sais it had 0 files left to transfer.
I couldn't get the sound drivers to work even after downloading the right ones from lenovo. I even let device manager try to reinstall the drivers from the Realtek folder in the windows.old folder - those should have worked - and the pc told me that the drivers matches and were up to date - however, the error i get told me there is a problem with the drivers and installation would fail when i tried to install from the downloaded exe.
I have been fixing my own systems for over 20 years, i have never seen a system as screwy as this with a fresh install.

I bought an iPad 3 yesterday; this is an upgrade from the original iPad. I was told that migrating the data would be simple. My desktop is a PC with Windows 7 Professional. I can't find a way to back up my old iPad so I can restore the data to the new

I bought an update to the original iPad an iPad 3. In was told that migrating the data from my old iPad to the new will be a snap. Alas, it isn't. My desktop is a new high end PC that came preloaded with Windows 7 Professional and I have had nothing but problems. My earlier computer was XP and everything, including my Apple interface, in particular iTunes, worked without problems. When I was trying to back up my data from the old iPad to my desktop, the only thing it would do is synchronize, then got an error message to download the latest iTunes, which I did but it still did not work. I have a lot of music both purchased through iTunes and a lot of others which were CDs that were copied to the desktop. I also have a lot of books through Kindle and other books in iBooks and audio books from other sources, plus two iPods I want to sync. I need some advise on where I find the back up feature in iTunes so I can copy all the data on from my old iPad. Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

Because your software is far too old for Windows 7.

Powerbook g4 (1Ghz) 15 inch,Which software restore disk do I need

Hello, I recently acquired a powerbook 15 inch g4 1Ghz laptop. I dont know alot about apple laptops. It did not come with any system disks. I wanted to do a complete harddrive wipe and use a system install/restore disk to start with a fresh hard drive. What restore disks do I need to do this. The laptop has a superdrive. Will any system install/restore disk work if it says "15 inch powerbook". Or is there only one specific /original disk that will work with it. Thanks Dave

Hi, David, and welcome to Apple Discussions. A 15" PB G4 could be either the last Titanium model, with most of its ports on the back, or the first 15" Aluminum model, with all its ports on its end panels.
Your best bet in either case may be to buy a retail OS X installer disc set. Either model mentioned above can comfortably run the latest version of OS X 10.4.x ("Tiger"), though if you now have only 256MB of installed RAM, you'll soon want to add more to make Tiger really happy. Alternatively, either model could also run OS X 10.3.x ("Panther"), which would be a bit less expensive now that it's not the latest and greatest version. But if I were you, I'd buy Tiger and be up to date from the outset.
Duplicates of the original discs that were shipped with the Powerbook when it was new may (or may not) still be available for a nominal fee directly from Apple — by phone only, not through the online Apple Store. But those discs will install OS X 10.2.x ("Jaguar"), an earlier and markedly inferior OS version. You would then have to purchase the upgrade to 10.3.x or 10.4.x if you decided you wanted it later. Better to start right off with it.
Do NOT buy an OS installer set that is specific to (was originally shipped with) any Mac model other than yours. It is very likely not to install at all, and if it does, the installation is apt to be flaky or nonfunctional. You should consider ONLY a retail set, or a duplicate of the original set that went with your PB when it was new.
