Need help with installing Windows XP on Satellite A60

I have toshiba satellite A60 and I need to know steps of reformatting the hard drive and installing Winxp. what do i need and how?
also..how can i save all the files and emails on Microsoft outlook? i'm not well experienced with this.

Hi,
the installation of XP is very simple. You just have to put the CD in and start the installation, the installation wizard is guiding you through the whole process. A little advice: when it comes to partition the drive, you should delete the old partition, create a new one and format it with ntfs. Dont worry the installation wizard will guide you very detailed trough that process so it will go very easily.
Regarding your backup:
Thats my way to backup my files:
I have a external USB-HDD drive and I put all my files on it so I can copy them back after I install a new system. To save your outlook you can check this site:
http://www.sitedeveloper.ws/tutorials/outlook.htm
They describe very nice how to backup you outlook.
Good luck

Need help with installing Windows for the bar exam

I need to retake the bar exam in Feb 2011 and I've decided to switch to typing. I am trying to figure out what Windows I need (the software says XP is fine but is that even available anymore)- so can someone walk me through this process? I've partioned my hard drive with the default 5GB but should it be more?
I'm looking at buying Windows- is XP okay or should I shell out for 7-i.e. is one more compatible with Macs?
And then finally, in the installation instructions they mention that I need my Mac OS disc for the process- is that the snow leopard disc or something else? My discs are in storage right now so should I wait until I get them before starting this process or can I get replacements if I accidentally threw them out in moving?
Sorry for all the questions, but well, I'm racing to get everything done and I want to make sure I don't crash my system halfway through the exam!

You don't need Boot Camp, but even XP will have a lot of stuff to update from after the install, and that takes temp space. Just as your Mac shows 5-10GB there is add'l hidden space used.
Apple's 'requirements' has gotten others in trouble and I was pretty sure it was more like 10GB. Plus a lot of XP discs are now SP3.
XP out of the box but connected to the net is just waiting for malware, average is 15 minutes to be infected. 7 is better and just in case you need it again.
System Builder can come in 32 or 64-bit but XP is 32-bit only.
VirtualBox by Oracle is a free VM.
1GB for one program actually seems like a lot, or is that RAM requirement?

Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error: Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." After entering Adobe password, nothing happens. Locked from further installation. Any ideas? Adobe phone support could not help.

Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

Need help with Installing Canon LBP 2900B on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8

I know this is going to sound silly, but really need help with this, URGENTLY!!!
Bought a Canon LBP2900B printer more than a year ago, and was using it on my MacBook Pro with OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.8) very well. My hard disk recently crashed and now I cannot reinstall the printer, nor can I find the driver for it anywhere for the Mac.
Have searched all the forums and followed all discussion threads on the Apple Communities as well, but none of the solutions seem to work. Even went back to @Dexter's solution with trying to download the file from the link http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip (this is what I had done when I bought the printer, and it worked perfectly) but the link doesn't exist anymore.
Extremely grateful if anyone can put up a solution to this, or alternatively, IF ANYONE HAS THE OLD CAPT.ZIP FILE AND CAN UPLOAD IT.
Thanks in advance. Look forward to your solutions.
Cheers

Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

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.

Help with installing Windows 95 on Windows 7 64 bit Home Virtual PC

I apologize in advance. I am new to using Virtual PC and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I am trying to create a virtual Windows 95 on my Windows 7 Home 64b computer in Virtual PC. I have the original W95 cd, and I was able to
create a Win95 boot disk.
What I've done so far is:
Create a Virtual drive in VPC.
Attempt to install W95 using the cd. The virtual system didn't install it.
Created a W95 boot disk using a USB floppy drive. The virtual system doesn't seem to access the USB floppy.
Tried to enter the BIOS menu in the virtual drive and set the floppy as the initial boot drive. The system doesn't access the floppy.
Please let me know if you need any more info to answer this question. Thanks!
RK

virtual machines won't detect usb floppy drives
(you might also run into issues trying to install win95 on a 64 bit system not sure though)
what you need to do is create a floppy image first
Also use VMWARE player for win95.. virtual pc doesn't work well for it in windows 7
so if you want to create a floppy image
first download magiciso (it's free)
go to new - floppy - 1.44
copy the files from the usb floppy onto the newly created image
save it
now go to the image in your browser and change the extension from .ima to .flp (for VMWARE) or .img (for virtual pc)
now you can mount the floppy image instead of using the drive all together :)
here's an alternative method for installing windows 95 on a virtual machine as well
installing windows 95 and CD driver manually without the floppy setup disk
what you need:
.DOS on a floppy or on an image (.flp .img)
.Windows 95 cd
.VMWARE player (it's free) or virtualpc (I recommend VMWARE)
.Magiciso (the free trial version will do)
.a copy of MSCDEX.EXE and oakcdrom.sys (both can be found online)
step 1
create a new virtual machine (make sure to add a floppy image drive if you are using vmware)
step 2
put your dos floppy/image in or mount it and install dos
step 3
download and install the free version of magiciso
open magic iso
go to new - floppy - 1.44
find a copy of mscdex.exe
find a copy of oakcdrom.sys (generic cd rom driver that works with dos.. might have to try another if it doesn't work)
RENAME the oakcdrom.sys to cdrom.sys
drag both these files into magic iso on the floppy disk we just created
save the file
close magic iso
find the file we just saved in your explorer
change the extension from .ima to .flp (if you are using vmware) or .img (if you are using virtualpc)
(if you can't see the extensions you're going to need to change your folder options to show extensions)
google it. it's easy to do
step 4
go back to your virtual machine
mount the floppy image we just created
a:\
copy mscdex.exe c:\
copy cdrom.sys c:\
(don't forget to rename oakcdrom.sys to cdrom.sys in step 3)
step 5
find config.sys in your c drive
type:
edit config.sys
now add a line that says this
device=c:\cdrom.sys /d:mscd001
exit and save
step 6
find autoexec.bat in your c drive
type:
edit autoexec.bat
now add a line that says this
c:\mscdex.exe /d:mscd001
exit and save
step 7
restart the computer or virtual machine
step 8
we're still not done yet
now move to your c drive and type
mscdex.exe: /d:mscd001 /M:5 /V /L:d /S /K
(this part /M:x refers to the amount of buffers your drive has.. it's either 4 or 5. usually 5)
step 9
create a blank floppy image either in vmware or magic iso then mount that new one
put your windows 95 cd in the cd drive
type:
d:\
setup.exe
step 10
it should be booting windows 95 now
now you might run into troubles when it tries to install the other drivers
it might ask you for windows floppies even if you're using the cd version
which I never understood
but anyways, you can find all of these drivers on the windows 95b cd if you have it
they're all in cab files
so you'd need to extract them 1 by 1 and put them on floppy images to use them.
(huge pain)
but I actually just got it to load the drivers off the win95 cd by just trying it over and over again until
it worked. it might have been because I either did or didn't restart after putting in the windows 95 cd
can't remember, but I'd try both if you're having trouble
all in all windows 95 is incredible wonky to install in a virtual machine. I highly recommend using VMWARE
and not virtual pc for this one.
If you didn't have a hard time installing this.. you got incredible lucky
make sure you check to make sure windows95 is seeing your cd drive
if not go to the add new hardware wizard in the control panel and see if that detects it

Need help with installing Yahoo style flash menu CS5

I downloaded the Yahoo style menu bar from the the available widgets. I got the menu bar to show in Dreamweaver, but need help:
I have trouble understanding how to use the f-source flash editor to edit the links.
I don't seem to be able to drop the f-source.com button from the menu bar.
The bar shows up as a tiny bar in IE8, not as I had programmed it in the widget programmer.
I was instructed to Insert ==> f-source menus ==> Edit menu in Dreamweaver. Doing this leads to the following message: "Install at least one f-source menu'. I did install the f-source-UI G file in the Adobe Extension Manager CS5. What else needs to be installed?
My OS is Windows7 and I am working with Dreamweaver CS5. Please help.
Thanks,
Tony Uythoven

Flash menus (Flash navigation, period) is a terrible thing from a functional standpoint. It looks really nice, but the honeymoon ends there. As far as SEO goes, your entire site, beyond the landing page, is invisible. A search robot will only see an embeded Flash object.
You have to ask yourself a basic question.
1. What is the purpose of building a website and putting it online?
If it's for your own personal enjoyment and nothing more, then a Flash menu may be for you. If it's for a business or band, or a political group or social group, and you want people to be able to find it in Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. then you want as many indexible links as possible on your landing page so they will show up in related searches like schedules, articles, galleries, etc.

Need help with installing Oracle11gR2 on OpenSUSE 11.2

Hi,
I could use some advice on installing Oracle11gR2 on OpenSUSE 11.2. I have a slightly older 32 bit PC which I was able to successfully install OpenSUSE 11.2 and DB2 9.7. (Yes, I work with more than one database vendor :-) ) When I tried to install Oracle, the installation program tells me I'm missing some libraries which I can not seem to find anywhere using any of the YAST tools:
libaio-0.3.105 (have 3.104 installed)
libaio-devel-0.3.105 (have 3.104 installed)
elfutils-libelf-0.97 (have 0.142 installed)
elfutils-libelf-devel-0.97 (have 0.142 installed)
glibc-common-2.3.4 (can't find this)
glibc-headers-2.3.4 (can't find this)
libgcc-3.4.6 (have 4.4.1 installed)
libstdc++-3.4.6 (have 3.3 and 4.4 installed)
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3 (can't find this)
Anyone have any ideas where I went wrong?
Thanks.

I read the UEFI wiki.
I think I understood where my problem is...
In order to create the "EFI System Partition" my whole data in the hard disk(which has windows in it) will be lost. I can't afford that because I only have rescue disks with me. I don't have an OS installation media since the OS installed on my thinkpad is OEM. If Lenovo were providing me the installation media for the OS, then I would simply go ahead and create GPT partitioned disks. Then first install Windows in it and then Arch. But now I am in a dilemma.....
I need suggestions on this please.....
You require an unmodified Windows 7 ISO. This is not hard to obtain, and using such a ISO is legal as long as you use a valid product key to activate Windows. Now there are 3 cases:
1. Convert BIOS-MBR install of Windows 7 to UEFI-GPT, without data-loss. It is a slightly lengthy process https://gitorious.org/tianocore_uefi_du … OS_to_UEFI (actually simple once you understand it, I know because I wrote it). But you need to have a unmodified Windows 7 ISO setup to boot in a UEFI bootable USB to do it. You can reuse the existing SYSTEM_DRV partition after formatting it as FAT32 with gdisk type code EF00. Make sure to backup the current contents of that partition though.
2. If you don't mind re-installing Windows, backup Windows activation data using http://directedge.us/content/abr-activa … nd-restore, format and partition your disk as GPT, re-install Windows and then Arch.
3. Install Arch in current BIOS-MBR setup, without touching the existing windows install.
EDIT: The limiting factor in your case is Windows, but I do not think it is a good idea to discuss Windows specific info (especially if you want to try case 1) here (in Arch forum) as that has nothing to with Linux or Arch.

kubuntu-kde is a bit heavy for a notebook display. unless you are a pretty heavy user. i find xubuntu better for notebook display. compared these yet? what you think? lubuntu happens to be beautiful, but if you don't like it it is less configurable than xubuntu. kubuntu comes to life on a larger desktop display.

Need help with installing drivers

I recently installed Windows 7 Professional and have been having trouble with installing the drivers necessary for sound, USB, graphics, etc. I have the Windows drivers on an external drive, but the OS won't recognize an external drive because it needs the drivers to do so. My Macbook came with OS X 10.6 installed, but I have since upgraded to 10.7 through the App Store. I believe I can use my 10.6 factory DVD to install drivers on the Windows side, but if I have 10.7 installed, will it work right? I'm confused

IME driver is one of the very most important. TPM is only needed if you plan on using it. If you don't know what it is, then probably don't need it.
Quote
Please tell me in detail what drivers do what functions and which ones need to install ?
Most of them are pretty self explanatory. Unless you set the SATA controller to AHCI mode when the OS was installed, RST isn't going to do much.
Like Henry said. Everything is on the install disc that came with the mainboard you need, including the ones you don't need. It's even got a 'total install' selection.

Need help with Installing Flash 9

First off, let me apologize if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't really find a forum for my specific need.
I was running Flash 8 just fine, but then a video requested that I update to Flash 9, because that's the only way the video would play.
So I tried installing the PPC version, and right at the last file it needs to finish installing a window pops up saying "ERROR CREATING FILE, 1008:5,-5000 Access denied error."
Now all flash files won't work on my browser.

Did you enable "root user" according to "Mac Help" or did you set up a new user in the system preferences? If you did it according to Mac Help, then Flash should have been installed correctly. Did you try the other option first? That option, if it worked, would have installed Flash into the current user. How many different users do you have?
Post back if you still need help, maybe someone else will pick up on this that is better than I am about such problems.
Sorry that I haven't been much help.

New user needs help with full windows reinstall/itunes

ok
my first time on here so be gentle,

now my problem is, iam about to do a full reinstall of my win xp, however, 1. i have no idea how to back up my music with itunes., and 2., my actuall musc tracks are all over the hard drive.
so any help....
i will add here my idea as to how what think i must do......
...i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
and if it does what will i have to make sure i do on the new install of my itunes, to get my playlists back as they are now....
i want to avoid thehorror stories i have read were after such reinstalls soon as there ipod plugged in again the blank new itunes updates ipod to blank....(how do i avoid this), and how do i get my new clean itunes to be like it was/is now....
lots of questons i know, but pretty desprate to get on with my reisntall...

toz,
We love seeing pro-active thinking here at the Discussions! You're off to a great start!
And you've pretty well got the right idea of what has to be done. A few points to make things go a bit smoother, though.
..i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
It probably would work but fortunately there's an easier method. Use the iTunes Advanced menu > Consolidate Library... command and iTunes will automatically find all the songs in your music library that are not currently in the iTunes Music folder, make copies of them and then put them into that folder (along with any songs that are already there).
With that out of the way, there are two main ways to make the back-up copies of your library. The one this article in the Apple Knowledge Base describes in detail is burning CD's/DVD's. That will take care of the music itself but if, as you say, you want to keep your playlists (and the information they depend on) intact, you will also have to make back-up copies of the iTunes Library files . That link tells you where to find them.
The other approach to creating your back-up is to use any spare hard drive you happen to have available and simply copy the iTunes folder (which happens to contain the iTunes Music folder and the iTunes Library files). Some of our Discussions regulars are quite fond of this method .
Once you've made your decision and successfully backed up your Library, restoring the music in iTunes onto your newly-formatted hard drive will be fairly straightforward but it will depend on which method you select. So post back and let us know how you're going to proceed as well as any other questions you may have.

Need help with installing old version of firmware

I would like to revert to an old version of firmware for my Airport Extreme base station. I have read in a number of postings that this would possibly help with the problem of my Canon Pixma ip3000 not working after the firmware was usdated. When I tried to install the old firmware, the Installer would not allow it, there was just a message that the software was up to date. Could anyone please give a step by step description of how this can be done? Is there a way around the Installer? Thanks.

The firmware supplied with the base station was 4.1. After installing it, everything worked just fine, including wireless printing to a Canon Pixma ip3000. At one point, after being prompted by a message onscreen to upgrade to 4.2, I did the download and installation, and that is when all the problems started. No wireless printing, and I can't seem to use the Airport Admin or Assistant (not responding). Since then I have also upgraded the OS to 10.4.5.
I am trying to downgrade to 4.1 since that is what worked initially and what was suggested in another posting I read.
I did look at the information for the various parts of Airport and noticed that the Setup Asistant is 4.2, the Admin Utility is 4.2 and the base station is 5.5.1. Could this be affecting the problem as well?
I will try downgrading using the link you provided. Thanks very much.
