Win7 back to Win XP.
I installed Windows 7.
I tried to reinstall WinXP.
Came across a Copy File error.
Verified that it wasnt the DVD. or Drive. (Tried multipul Devices, etc etc.)
(Both ended up working after a format also.)
Am I going to be forced to format my entire hard drive in order to
get Win XP back ?
Im just curious.
Id rather not reinstall 100 gigs worth of Crap X_x. EtcEtc.
Sry. Im sure this answer is out there. Most of the time they say you just cant.
Can you reinstall Win XP over Win 7 ? Without formatting?
Last time I tried I got a copy file error.
Do we know when the Win 7 Beta ends?
|My System Specs
|09 Apr 2009
Windows 8.1 Pro x64 x3 + Windows 10 Preview, Ubuntu
Last Question First the original Beta will time-out on or shortly after July 1 2009, However the current thinking the the forthcoming RC build will run until July 2010.
As with most if not all operating systems you will not be able to "Upgrade" to an earlier version, without reformatting the system drive.
One option is to either run a dual boot system or at least separate your Data from your System by the use of partitioning.
Depending on the space you have available on the drive and it's layout It may be possible to partition the drive in a way to allow you to install a dual boot of XP on your machine.
If you can provide further details as to your complete situation we will try to advise a more specific option

Microsoft is already putting it into hte works (according to the rumor mill) about informing users that you should not / cannot upgrade from a beta version of Win 7 to the final....

Did anyone read the question?
Im using Windows 7.
I want to go back to WinXP when 7 beta ends.
Just be reinstalling XP over 7.
Last time I tried that, I got a "cant copy file error".
while installing Xp back OVER Windows 7.
Will I not be able to just Overwrite Windows 7 with a win xp?
How do i put win XP back without reformating OR messing with partitions?
Ill just change primary partitions if i have too.
But I dont see why winXP cant just overwrite Windows 7.
I doubt there is any reason it "cant" happen.

This paper discusses the collection of samples from primitive solar system bodies. A comet or asteroid sample return mission, though expensive, can be only half the price of a major "flagship," planetary mission. In addition to mission-targeted bodies, some 20,000 meteorites have landed on Earth at no cost. Over half of known meteorites found on Earth have been recovered from Antarctica. Meteorites are a wonderful resource, though they have some limitations. In addition to the normal meteorites, there are also the invisible meteorites—the cosmic dust particles—which are smaller than normal meteorites but are interesting because they provide an alternate and more representative sampling of bodies in the solar system.
Most of the information we have about primitive solar system bodies comes from spectral reflectivity, which is a useful source of information but is not tied to astrobiology or mineralogy in a straightforward way. Asteroids exhibit different spectral reflectance types, and these have been studied in great detail. One of the most abundant is the so-called C-type, in which the dark material is typically attributed to carbon-rich materials, but in fact any material such as metal or sulfide can make a C-type spectrum. There are also types called P and D, which increase in reflectivity into the red region of the spectrum. In some cases there are matches with spectral reflectance of certain meteorite types. The most successful match is that of Vesta (and the Vestoids that are associated with Vesta) with the so-called howardite-eucrite-diogenite achondrite meteorites.
The meteorites come from the asteroid belt, with a few exceptions that appear to have come from Mars or the Moon. Most meteorites are delivered from the 1:3 resonance (referring to the ratio of the orbital period of the asteroids there to the orbit period of Jupiter) between 2.3 and 2.2 AU. There is a range of meteorite types that come from this small band of the solar system. The asteroid belt delineates the transition between the terrestrial planet and gas giant domains of the solar system, and there indeed appears to be a stratigraphy in the asteroid belt. The main belt is dominated by the C-type, the inner part is dominated by the E- and R-types, and the outer part is dominated by the P- and D-types.
The asteroids in the mid-belt commonly show OH in their reflectance spectrum—denoting the presence of hydrated minerals. Those farther out are thought to be very primitive—the common explanation for P-and D-types is that they have a high organic content, which is responsible for their dark, red higher reflectances. But these do not show OH. It is clear that the closer asteroids were heated above the melting point of water ice.
The black-body temperature today in the middle of the asteroid belt is about 180 K. In the primitive nebula, neither insolation nor the background gas could produce high enough temperatures to melt ice. There must have been an energy source that heated the asteroids and had a radial dependency. One of the most popular explanations is heating from short-lived radioisotopes such as 26Al and 60Fe. This imparts a radial dependence because the half-lives of these isotopes are compared to the accretion time of asteroidal-sized bodies, and plausibly those on the inner edge of the belt would form before those on the outer edge. Whatever the explanation, there was a heat source that had a radial dependence. In the 1:3 resonance, which is the source of many of our meteorites, bodies may have formed with a fair amount of ice in them and the ice then melted because of this mysterious heat source. The resulting liquid water then modified these rocks. Many of the primitive meteorites we have were thus relatively warm wet rocks for millions of years, and their parent asteroids may have had a much higher content of water in them than we see today.
In addition to meteorites, there are small particles, called cosmic dust particles, that come from both asteroids and comets. Some of these have quite unusual properties, including very high carbon content —up to 50 percent by

grow. Applications of the data include investigations of specific atmospheric phenomena (like katabatic winds), climate monitoring, critical input for numerical weather prediction, and ground-based weather for aircraft landings. The network should be a core component for an Antarctic observing network.
Redundant, autonomous mobile sensors controlled by adaptive networks are well worth exploring for the Antarctic continent, while enhanced drifting buoys might be used in the sea ice zone and open ocean regions. Ground-based remote sensing involving radar, wind profilers, Doppler acoustic sounders, temperature profilers, cloud radars, and cloud LIDAR can improve upon data retrieved from current radiosondes. In addition, large numbers of simple dropsondes strategically released from high-altitude balloons could enhance data collection. Research aircraft are appropriate platforms for investigating atmospheric processes (e.g., cloud physics). In addition, it would be desirable to replace expensive, bulky, sensitive instrumentation maintained by expert technicians with simpler, more capable systems that can work in unmanned aircraft to routinely explore the behavior of the winds, temperature, moisture, and cloud fields in three dimensions.
Satellites over the Antarctic continent and Southern Ocean have great promise: radio occultation profiles from tracking the propagation of GPS signals through the atmosphere have proved useful over the Antarctic continent with all-weather capability and absolute calibration. Long-range planning for satellites is required. NASA's Earth Observing System (the Terra and Aqua satellites) and the more recent Cloudsat and CALIPSO missions have proven their value to science, but there are no adequate follow-up plans for when these systems exceed their design lifetimes. Data obtained on the atmosphere must be integrated into a coherent framework to support modeling.
Ocean observations can use both Eulerian (moored) and Lagrangian (moving) platforms. Eulerian measurements performed at strategically chosen locations, such as within straits, choke points, and boundary currents, would prove valuable. Improved moored sensors capable of conductivity-temperature-depth oxygen, nitrate, fluorescence, and acoustics and of flow cytometry of colored dissolved organic matter will be helpful. Devices with passive sonic recording of whales would improve the tracking of whales. Near-surface ocean platforms are in danger of damage from icebergs. Alternative sampling strategies including instrumented animals (seabirds, seals, whales), gliders, and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can mitigate this problem.

Oakland Raiders Owner Mark Davis Committed To Patience
There must have been times this season when Mark Davis got aggravated and impatient, perhaps many, many times.
There had to be a few fevered moments during the Raiders' 4-9 start this season … and 8-21 swoon over the last two.
But the Raiders owner has remained calm in public, and this week Davis suggested to me that "patience" is his guiding mood these days.
A commitment to patience, which probably means Davis is leaning toward keeping general manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen into 2014.
The point, Davis said, is that the Raiders have three games left in 2013, and then the franchise will shift from two years of "deconstruction" into a new phase.
"That's when the deconstruction turns into the reconstruction," Davis said in a phone interview.
"It's an exciting time for us. It's also been a tough time for the fans, it's been a tough time for me, it's been a tough time for everybody.
"But what do they say about patience? If you're committed to something, you have to be patient with it."
It's absolutely the proper way to approach this; rebuilding the Raiders is an immense project, and impulsive moves might only bog things down all over again.
Davis said that once the season ends, McKenzie will meet with Allen and the rest of his staff, and then McKenzie will meet with Davis.
That's when the Raiders will put together a plan of attack for their immense amount of upcoming cap space — possibly upward of $70 million — and the 2014 draft.
It's what Davis and McKenzie have been planning for since McKenzie was hired in January 2012 — a few months after the death of Al Davis and the transition to his son.

Hall of Fame's New Managers Got A Pass On Steroid Outrage
The Baseball Hall of Fame ballots are due at the end of the month and the process just got more confusing than ever.
Steroid players? Still unlikely to be voted in.
Steroid managers? That's a different story.
The Boys of Steroids are still on the Boys of Summer ballot: Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro are among the 36 players on the 2014 ballot. They're all there to be accepted or – more likely – rejected by the majority of the 500-plus Baseball Writers' Association of America voters who participate (I'm one of those voters).
Last year, none of the players who come with substantial evidence that they used steroids received more than 37.6 percent of the vote. They need 75 percent of the votes to be inducted. Last year not a single player was voted into the Hall of Fame, making for a muted ceremony that probably contributed little to the Cooperstown economy.
Players stay on the ballot for 15 years, so this issue is far from over. However, it takes a lot of mind-changing – and a long time – for a player to jump almost 40 percentage points in balloting.
So all of those players must look at what just happened with the Expansion Era Committee voting last weekend and feel puzzled. Three of the best, most successful managers of the steroid era were elected unanimously: Joe Torre, Bobby Cox and – most notably – Tony La Russa. Easy, quick, no fuss.
If there were an all-steroid baseball team (Bonds in left, McGwire at first, Clemens on the mound – we can keep going), there's no doubt who the manager would be. It would be La Russa, who managed the A's in the late '80s and early '90s Bash Brothers era, widely considered Ground Zero for rampant steroid use. Then La Russa went on to manage the St. Louis Cardinals, where McGwire made it fashionable to use steroids to break baseball's most hallowed records.

Relax: Jim Harbaugh's Not Going To Texas
There are three classic blunders in life.
1. Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
2. Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
3. Never open a Jim Harbaugh news conference with a joke.
Some silly reporter (OK, it was me) didn't heed No. 3 this week when, amid whispers that the University of Texas would pursue Harbaugh to be its next coach, he opened the Harbaugh presser with this: "So, when are you heading off to Austin, Texas?"
Long pause. Reeaaally long pause.
Harbaugh: "Trying to be funny?"
"Yeah. Trying," I said as every molecule of humor was vacuumed from the room.
Why open with a joke, you might ask? Because the notion of Harbaugh leaving for a college job, any college job, seems so absurd.
First, Harbaugh is an NFL guy.
He was an NFL quarterback for 14 years. His big brother, with whom he's dueled all his life, coaches the Ravens. When the 49ers hired him in 2011, Harbaugh was asked why he didn't stay at Stanford for one more season and try to win a national championship with quarterback Andrew Luck.
"I view it as a perfect opportunity, the perfect competitive platform with these pros, with the level playing field, the chance to be part of a team that goes after the highest award in all of sports, and that's the Lombardi Trophy," Harbaugh said. "…To compete at this level was overwhelming to me."
See, the Lombardi Trophy is the prize. And Harbaugh has been chasing it for decades.
He came within a fingertip of having a shot at it on Jan. 14, 1996, as quarterback of the Colts, when his last-second heave into the end zone against Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship Game slipped from receiver Aaron Bailey's grasp.
"I think he caught it," a stunned Harbaugh said over and over as he slowly walked off the field, desperately looking for a replay on the stadium's scoreboard.
He came close again in January 2012 when Kyle Williams' fumbled punt in overtime of the NFC Championship Game set up the Giants' game-winner.
Just 10 months ago, Harbaugh's 49ers seemed to have a go-ahead, Super Bowl touchdown in their sights against brother John's Ravens when quarterback Colin Kaepernick sprinted left and had a decent path to the end zone.
But Jim Harbaugh called timeout before the snap, and the ensuing plays from the Baltimore 5-yard line failed. Minutes later, John Harbaugh was holding the coveted prize.

NYCC: Dynamite Accidentally Announces New Series Not Starring 60 Year Old Character
- Written by Jude Terror on Saturday, October 12 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Press Release
The comic book world was shocked yesterday when Dynamite Entertainment announced a new four issue mini-series by Herik Hanna and Bruno Bessadi called Bad Ass. Billed as a cross between Deadpool and Kick-Ass, the series' titular hero is really more of a villain and the book will be a parody of the superhero genre. What's so shocking about that? Bad Ass is a brand new character and not a classic Golden Age character from a long defunct publisher that Dynamite bought the rights to.
"We're extremely embarassed that such a glaring error managed to slip past all the safeguards in place to prevent us from publishing a book starring a character created after Roosevelt left office" complained Vice President of Crochity Curmudgeonliness Alex Ross while shaking his fist angrily at his fellow Dynamite executive, a painting of a fat Superman by Alex Ross. "The last time this happened was with The Boys."
"It took us years to get rid of that young upstart Garth Ennis," added Ross, "and we had to publish forty-seven Green Hornet and Kato minis after that just to wash away the stench of the twenty-first century."
The company apologized to its fans profusely for the mistake, but admitted they would have no choice but to see the comic through, since they'd publicly announced it.
"WHAT?!" responded Dynamite's fans because they're old.
Here's the press release:
Dynamite Lets Loose the Evil Genius,
Sinister Wit, and Wild Abandon of Bad Ass
on an Unsuspecting Comic Audience
October 11th, 2013, Mt. Laurel, NJ - New York Comic-Con Announcement: Dynamite proudly announces the January 2014 release of Bad Ass #1, the first chapter in wickedly funny and explosive four-issue comic book miniseries. Written by Herik Hanna and illustrated by Bruno Bessadi, Bad Ass tells the story of Dead End, an unstoppable vigilante with devastating wit and brutal tactics. He may claim to be a masked avenger... but he's a villain through and through, with a cause even greater than serving justice: serving himself!
"With Bad Ass, we are delivering a true tribute to -- and parody of -- American superhero comic books," says artist Bruno Bessadi. "Dead End is an antihero with uninhibited wickedness, which -- let's face it -- we all secretly wish we could embrace. It's pure black humor and action, through and through! Publishing Bad Ass at Dynamite is like a dream come true. I'm very excited about this new adventure!"
Writer Herik Hanna says, "I was asked to talk about my love for the series, and for its main character. Who said I like this guy? He was there one morning on my doorstep, a smile on his face and an M4 in his hands. He said, 'Write.' I said, 'Uhm...okay. Coffee?' I have to live with this guy now. I was also asked to talk about its main appeal. Playmates, ducks and guns, I think. And the great work of Bruno Bessadi and Gaëtan Georges. And playmates."
"Never before has there been such a quick-witted and highly intelligent vigilante, a hero you would love to hate," says Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite. "While characters like Deadpool are more about slapstick humor, Dead End is more about the quick-witted answers, delivered with a hysterically crushing apathy. We like to think it should have the tagline, 'If Deadpool and Kick Ass had a baby, it would be Bad Ass.' And I'd also go so far as to say that Bad Ass fills a void left in fanboy and fangirl hearts after The Boys, our bestselling and envelope-pushing series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, came to its explosive end. If you want violence and sick humor, if you crave madcap antics and irreverence, Bad Ass is your next big thing!"
Bad Ass #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors' November 2013 Previews catalog, the premiere source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release beginning in January 2014. Comic book fans are encouraged to reserve copies of Bad Ass with their local comic book shop or hobby specialty store. Each issue of Bad Ass will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, iVerse, and Dark Horse Digital.

Mecha-Bowser is a large, mechanical incarnation of Bowser that has appeared in certain Mario games.
Super Mario Sunshine
Mecha Bowser first appears in Super Mario Sunshine where it is controlled by Shadow Mario (a.k.a. Bowser Jr.). Mecha Bowser can be found inside of Pinna Park. Mario must use a rollercoaster with F.L.U.D.D. and fire water at Mecha Bowser when close by. Mario must be on the look for Bullet Bills attempting to attack Mario himself. Mecha Bowser also spits fire on the rollercoaster tracks. To defeat Mecha Bowser, Mario must find water-powered rockets and fire them with F.L.U.D.D. at it.
Mario Tennis series
Mario Power Tennis
Mecha Bowser reappears in Mario Power Tennis. In this game, Mecha Bowser occasionally appears on the stage to tilt the course. It is also a boss in a minigame.
Mario Party series
Mario Party 5
Mecha Bowser appears in Mario Party 5 in the Toy Dream party board where it shoots players out of cannons when landing on his space back to the starting point.
Mario Party 7
Mecha Bowser makes a cameo appearance in Mario Party 7 where his can be seen in Bowser's Enchanted Inferno.
Super Mario Galaxy
Mecha Bowser reappears in Super Mario Galaxy as a toy robot this time. However, Mecha Bowser still is green, but has the blue coloration replacing the yellow. Mario can defeat the Mecha Bowser by ground pounding through the rocks on its head and free the Gearmos inside of it.
- Mecha Bowser is comparable to Bowser???, False Bowsers, King Boo's fake Bowser suit, and Bowser's Snow Statue in that these are all other enemies in disguise trying to use the abilities of Bowser.

Anthony R. Corral, DMD
Education: B.S., Johns Hopkins University, D.M.D., Temple University
Areas of Expertise: Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry
Beaches Center for Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, which offers a convenient second location at St. Johns Family Dentistry, is a practice filled with caring, friendly staff who treat patients as if they are family.
Dr. Anthony R. Corral's services include implant and reconstructive dentistry with minimal recovery due to the use of lasers. Cosmetic smile makeovers with amazing veneers and invisible braces are also offered along with single-visit crowns, veneers and onlays with the CEREC system, root canals, extractions, dentures and in-office whitening.
Dr. Corral received his bachelor's degree from the Johns Hopkins University and his DMD from Temple University. He trained with the Dick Barnes Group for implant dentistry, and with the Hornbrook and Dick Barnes groups for cosmetic dentistry.
Dr. Corral's philosophy is to provide a "patient-first" experience through extraordinary service and personal consultations. His practice believes in on-time appointments because they respect your time and offer affordable fees with payment plans. He also is committed to continuing his education and staying abreast of the latest techniques and technology. Materials and techniques have completely changed in the last five years alone.

Chris Matthews really stuck it to the hawks on Wednesday's "Hardball": "If you want America to be a hegemonic power in the Middle East, you're out of step with the American people. We're not going to fight it out with Iran for the next 30 years to see who the big s***—I'm sorry—the big name is on the block."

Canister Vacuums
Most of us don't enjoy housecleaning chores. In fact most of us dread it. However, vacuum cleaning systems make cleaning easier and faster, thus making the routine grind of cleaning less time consuming. Canister vacuum cleaners are compact and lightweight, so it's easy to tote them up and down the stairs. Storage is easy too, as these canister vacuums can be tucked away into small closets as well. To choose a canister vacuum for your cleaning needs, arrive at a budget, consider the performance of the brand you choose and make a choice between bagged and bagless canister vacuums. We recommend you choose canister vacuums with power selector so you can adapt suction force to the type of floor you clean. Check the weight of the canister vacuum before you choose one, ensure that the power cord is long enough to help you clean large areas and don't forget to consider the filtration system on the canister vacuum you choose. Opt for a HEPA filter if you have allergy sufferers at home.
There are so many varieties of vacuum cleaning systems available in the market today that it can be confusing to choose the best one for your needs and budget. Once you have determined that a canister vacuum cleaner is what you need, GoVacuum can help you narrow your choices further and lead you to the best canister vacuums for your home or office. We provide free shipping on all products and also have a 60-day in-home trial on all of our products. Our aim is to provide you a hassle free online shopping experience for vacuum cleaning systems.
