please explain in very simple easy terms i dont always get it.
vista has a virus in it and i cant get into the main part of my computer only safe mode with networking!.
all because i clicked something in the security about administrator or something it kept sending me error messages about how i wasnt the administrator so i clicked it and all hell broke loose when i shut down as it asked.
please help me i want to download windows 7 for free from my toshiba ppl but i downloaded it and it says its detecting windows vista home premium and this service will end i want the vista gone please help!How to change my operating system?
I doubt this caused a virus to vista
Vista uses something called UAC which essentually controls users. No user is a TRUE administrator and that was the start of your problem
It is possible to shut off UAC which is what I have done...go here to learn how

Windows 7 is not free... you will need to purchase an upgrade. It is better than vista but it also uses UAC, so you ought to learn about this before mucking aboutHow to change my operating system?
just buy windows 7, insert it into your dvd drive while on windows vista desktop and then a box will pop up and then choose to upgrade.How to change my operating system?
windows 7 is not FreeHow to change my operating system?
Vista does not have a virus in it. Millions of people use Vista and are content with it.
Your idea to dump Vista for another OS simply because your computer got a virus is like crushing your car because it ran out of gasHow to change my operating system?
Run Vista in safe mode. Install Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php - and let it run to completion. Then you'll be able to run Vista normally.
Then download and install Avast - http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast- and keep it running to avoid virus problems.
(Downloading a %26quot;free%26quot; copy of Windows 7 is a great way to get a virus or 10. If you want 7, if your computer is eligible for the free upgrade, see whether Toshiba is still taking applications - they were supposed to be made by January. If not, you'll have to buy the upgrade.
As far as the message you're getting, post the EXACT message - in computers, where one letter makes a lot of difference, posting your interpretation of an error message is useless.)

How do I change the order of operating systems on my boot loader?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium and Linux Mint Gloria Main. Currently, Vista is the first choice, but I want to switch them. How do I do this?How do I change the order of operating systems on my boot loader?
Grub uses either /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf to decide that sort of thing. It's usually a text file and it generally accesses menu.lst but on Gentoo for example that's just a link to grub.conf. So do an ls -lt /boot/grub/menu.lst and if it's not a link open it in a text editor (using sudo or gksudo) and change the boot order in the file.
For lilo it is stored in /etc/lilo.conf. Again that is a text editor so just edit it to change the order. Once you finish though, there is one more step. Type %26quot;lilo%26quot; after you close it and before you reboot. This will tell the boot loader to use the new configuration file.
Depending on your boot loader you should be able to get lots of information by opening a terminal and typing either %26quot;info grub%26quot; which calls up the manual for using grub and making it do what you want to, or %26quot;man lilo%26quot; which gives you a good description of lilo. I recommend using both programs to learn about your system.How do I change the order of operating systems on my boot loader?

This may sound stupid but is it possible to change the Operating System on a computer ?
Im searching through websites to find a laptop for me to buy. However, literally almost every single laptop has either %26quot;Windows Vista Home Premium%26quot; or %26quot;Windows Vista Home Basic%26quot; as its operating system.
For my laptop, i would like to use Windows XP. Is it possible for me to change the operating system on the laptop from Vista to XP? (I dont want instructions on how to do this, i just want to know if i can)This may sound stupid but is it possible to change the Operating System on a computer ?
yes u can.
u can put whatever OS u want on your computer.

Well, you might. It depends whether the manufacturer have XP drivers for that specific model that you want to buy. If they don't then you're out of luck
So if you have in mind what you want to buy, get the model number, then go to the vendor site and try to find out if they have drivers for XPThis may sound stupid but is it possible to change the Operating System on a computer ?

How do I stop my Drive letters changing across Operating Systems?
I'm currently running Windows Vista (Home Premium) and Windows 7 (Ultimate, build 7000). I have split my laptop hard drive leaving my Vista Partition, and creating a new one for Windows 7. I have installed Win7 all well and good, however when I use Vista my vista partition appears as Drive C: and the Seven Drive D:. Whereas under Win7, the Windows 7 System Drive is given the letter C: and Vista (which was previously unassigned; hence I assigned it random V:).
How can I make it so they keep the same drive letter association across both OS's? I would like Vista to be drive C: and Seven to be (well frankly anything else within reason) as long as it's consistent.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
DeanHow do I stop my Drive letters changing across Operating Systems?
the primary hard drive of your computer is always labeled c
although you can change this, it is not suggested as it will invalidate all references to to the C drive, including those that are made by your operating system

HOW DO I CHANGE MY OPERATING SYSTEM?
Ok, so I got this really annoying virus cleaner, so I was scanning (the cleaner wasn't one from the Internet, it was malware bytes), ok so when it finished it shut down my computer then when it came back up it said NTLDR is missing... Ok, so I was sick of XP so I downloaded Linux, now I try to boot it, it won't do anything!!! IT JUST KEEPS SAYING NTLDR IS MISSING, so I wanted to format the drive so I can start new then it wont boot the usb so I'm stuck HELP!!!!! I need it for a project!HOW DO I CHANGE MY OPERATING SYSTEM?
If you haven't already done so, you need to enter BIOS and change the boot order, giving the USB device a higher priority than your HD (assuming your computer supports booting from a USB device). If you're unsure how to do it, keep an eye on your screen as you power on -- it may tell you which F-keys to press. You can go the trial and error route if it doesn't, or do a quick Google search for %26quot;enter BIOS $manufacturer%26quot; (replacing $manufacturer with.... your computer's manufacturer).
If you've changed the boot order, how did you create the USB? You may want to retry, using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and selecting a distro and version in the list, as opposed to selecting your own ISO, or at least double check any guide you followed to make sure you did everything you needed to to make the device bootable. You can also try burning a CD instead.
NTLDR is an easy fix. If you don't have an XP disc that contains the Admin console, you can download it online. I think it's still available on Microsoft's site, and if not, there are legitimate third party sites where it can probably be found, or if you have access to another 2K or XP box, you can follow this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301680/
Just pointing that out because I'm not sure if you're familiar with Linux or not. If you haven't used it, you may want to consider fixing your XP bootloader, and setting up a dualboot instead of plunging in head first.HOW DO I CHANGE MY OPERATING SYSTEM?

Thats a huge problem you got there! You need to purchase something like XP or Vista at your local walmart! and sorry 2 say! XP is not the problem! I have been using XP since it came out, And im using the computer it came on when it first came out. YOu have to be very careful about what virus scans you use and connect to. Alot of virsu scans have been contained or contaminated with viruses, Exspecially the newest ones. But anyway, Please email me at jet_slc@yahoo.com with every single detail, weither you think it is important or not! for more informationHOW DO I CHANGE MY OPERATING SYSTEM?
You need to go into BIOS settings and make sure the CD drive is first in the boot list. Do you know what you're doing when it comes to booting linux? You can't just download linux and boot from it. You have to make a bootable CD. Burn the .iso image to a cd with ImgBurn Or Nero or something. Then put it in the computer and turn it on.
