Hi,
  

  
I reinstalled Win XP64bit on my HP dv6000, I got the same error message, but, I accessed to BIOS, disable the Functionnality "SATA" (I don't remember now for the exact function), just disable it, save an reboot, then you can reinstall WIN xp 64bit without any prblm.
  

  
Let me know if you need any help.
  
Regards
This is a chicken and egg problem. No drive, cd/dvd won't work. You either need to get an external drive, or have someone write it to a USB thumb drive that your system can boot from. maybe the boot disk partition be cleared. you can disable emmc in bios then install a pure windows in ssd. enable emmc after the windows installed. you need to change the boot order so it checks the HDD before the floppy, cdrom etc...



btw a new pc means you will have to reinstall windows you would need to buy a licenced copy of windows for every machine. 

linux systems are free and young folks at school would quickly adapt to a different operating system and probably learn more from using linux.

here's a link to a download of a good flavour of linux which you can burn on to a cd or dvd and install it on one of the laptops to try it yourself.

it will be different but there are equivalents to all the programmes to which you're accustomed. when you go into "control panel" and remove the driver, on the same screen, you should have the option to install the driver and let windows search for it for you. hi there floriann software,

first of all, i would say that it is always a better idea to open up a new thread, instead of engaging in an old one.

apart from that, as the drive is recognized on other systems except for the xp one, then it comes to drivers. make sure you go to the mobo's website and update the drivers.
is the drive initialized as mbr. in case it is initialized as gpt, i would advise you to back up all the data and initialize it as mbr. win xp has some limitations on that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2581408

cheers,
d\_know\_wd :) hi kenhaught, thanks for your replies. i finally fixed the problem. i had built the vms on a previous version of esxi, version 5.5, so they had an earlier vm version of the hardware. once i updated the hardware version, of the guest, to "esxi 6.5 and later (vm version 13)" the windows server 2016 option appeared. pat, sorry to read about your notebook issue.  be assured that i have been monitoring this post and see that you have received very helpful input.  if you're not able to duplicate the memtest86 hit, you may want to scan for "infections" as andre s. recommends.  however, along with malwarebytes, i would also run tdsskiller and combofix.   after doing this and the laptop still freezes, you may want to contact hp's excellent elite premier support team at 866 625-1175, especially if this model is still under warranty.  you also may want to pm me with the product number, serial number so i can get a case started for you or so we can discuss some hp options if out of warranty. Download and install the 64-bit driver for the printer. If this is an old printer, check with the manufacturer to see if they have a 64-bit driver. Try to xcopy the data over to the external drive.



start>run>type "cmd">hit ok  

In dos window type "xcopy /?" this will show you all of the parameters or switchs used in xcopy.



If you are not famaliar with dos you may want to seek out a friend who is.
