Recovery original WindowsXP after installing Windows7 in Tecra A11

I want to make a multiboot system in my Tecra A11, with Windows Xp and Windows7, because I need XP to run an aplication incompatible with W7. The problem is that I format the HD to install the 64bit W7 with the recovery media (that came with the note) to explore the full capacity of the system memory. How can I get the XP instalation files originally installed in the note and make a dual boot with W7? Thank you in advance

Tell us all about it.
Which Tecra A11? Which part number? Which country? Which Windows 7?
Do you have the Windows XP recovery discs?
Are you prepared to pay for a second activation key?
Can you enable hardware virtualization? If so, XP Mode is probably your best bet.

  • Fn+b keys don't work after installing windows7 home premium.

    I already installed the IDT Audio but the Beats icon does not show when the fn+b keys were pressed. What should I do?
    Product Name: Pavilion dm1-4000au
    Product number: QG411PA

    Hi hotjicks,
    Do you see the beats icon in the systray?
     It appears to be time to reinstall the IDT audio driver and update the quick launch software. This can be done by use of the Recovery manager or by downloading the driver and software.
    Select the driver or software you need to install and then click on next.
    Here is a link to the support portal for your notebook. The drivers are in the driver and software download section.

  • Unable to boot back to os x after installing windows7

    I'm using iMAC with all the softwares updated.
    As the title stated, I'm unable to boot back to my mac os x after i successfully installed windows 7.
    I hold on to the Option key / Alt key but to no avail.
    I'm able to see my Mac HD via My Computer from windows 7.
    I even manage to install drivers from the os x cd itself to windows 7.
    Just thinking is it something wrong with the MBR of mac os x or windows that caused this issue to arise.
    Any help or guide will be helpful!
    Regards,
    xiang

    X on startup should take you into OS X
    For now, go to Windows control panels : Boot Camp and change the default OS there.
    Whether it is keyboard, bluetooth, or karma, some people's systems do seem to have trouble on the timing or getting Option/Alt to bring up the EFI Boot menu/manager.

  • Recovery advice advice after installing windows

    Hi all,
    Not really a noob, but this a noob question so is best placed here, so don't need to presume I dont know anything.
    Right so I wanted to play the South Park game (it's awesome btw) so had to install windows. I thought I know il just remove my SSD and install windows on a different one (HDD2) and il be able to dual boot just by swapping the drives out. Unfortunately I did not have the foresight to remove my second (HDD1) and despite being told to install on the new drive (HDD2) windows decided to install it's boot loader onto my main storage drive (HDD1) (which must have been sda1 (or whatever the window equivalent is.)
    My drives are partitioned as follows:
    SSD: / (maybe /boot)
    HDD1: /home /var swap
    HDD2: Windows.
    My first thoughts were that grub had been ovrewritten however I can choose to boot from the SSD and grub will come up however nothing happens when ArchLinux is selected. I am in the process of finding a spare SATA cable as I suppose the best way to do this is to connect all 3 drives and setup true dual boot. I plan to just go ahead with all 3 drives connected boot into a live cd, chroot then do 'grub-install' and 'os-prober' and I believe that should solve it. I am only posting here really for certainty that I'm not being dumb and going to break everything as I have alot of data on the HDD1 drive.
    Cheers, Oli

    That game works perfectly under Linux with Wine.

    The file seems to create the CD/DVD/Image and USB just fine. So I used this only to create a CD image which I then wrote on a blank CD which seems to work fine. Also, I played around a bit and had some partial success in booting the partition. I've updated my original opening post with the new findings.
    Whew!! what a waste of time! Never want to do all of this again .

    It maybe trying to boot from the incomplete install.
    Try starting your Mac while holding down the Option key, it should then list all the available boot drives including the Mac OS X one. Boot from the Mac one and then you can wipe the damaged PC one or set the Mac to stay booting in to OS X.

  • Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

    Hi all.
    It's my first time in this forum.
    I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
    The message I get it:
    "Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
    I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.

    Hi and welcome to the forum,
    the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
    This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
    So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
    This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
    Please let me know, if you have covered this.
    Cheers

    I purchased and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. After installing it, I was prompted for the serial number. When I entered it an error message appeared saying it was an upgrade serial number and I need to enter my original purchase number. This was my original purchase, not an upgrade. Now what do I do?

    It sounds like you bought an upgrade from Adobe. How much did you pay? The upgrade is about $80, and the non-upgrade is about $150. If you bought an upgrade version and had no previous version, you would see what you're seeing.
    If that is the case and I were you, I'd call Adobe, and arrange for a refund and to order the correct version.

  • After installing update I have the "cannot find original file" message

    After installing the latest version of iTunes to my pc today, the vast majority of my songs have a message "The song XX could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  Yes I would!  Any help much appreciated.

    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. (In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if this might apply.)
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Although it says something like "use the same location" it expects to find the tracks in the same artist & album layout that it generates, not all in one big folder.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
