Changing hardware components but keeping old hard disk(s)

Use this method if you:
- Change other hardware components but keep your old HD containing Windows 7

- Move the HD containing Windows 7 to another computer
  1. Before installing new hardware, boot Windows 7 normally
  2. Run Command Prompt as administrator

  5. Sysprep generalizes now your Windows 7 setup and shuts down your computer. Do not run any other programs during this phase!

  6. Switch the main power of your PC off and install the new hardware OR dismount the hard disk(s) and mount it (them) to a new computer
  7. Boot the PC from sysprep generalized hard disk. You will notice Windows booting as if it was the first boot after installation, installing default drivers and updating registry. One or two reboots are needed, depending on your system specifications

  9. Because your old user profiles already exist, Windows does not accept your normal username, but instead you have to create a new temporary user. I use username Test for this purpose

  11. Windows boots now to default OOBE first boot desktop, with default 800*600 resolution and default theme. All your installed applications are there, as well as your old user profiles and folders. Windows has installed the default drivers for your setup, you can update them if needed
    .

    .
  12. Go to Control Panel > User Accounts and delete the temporary user account (in this case Test) that you just created
Step 2:   Error 1:

"Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on theis compuiter, restart the installation."

When prompted with error unable to complete installation:
Hit SHIFT-F10 to bring up command prompt.

type MMC
Click File -> Add/Remove Snap-in... (Or CTRL+M)
Select Computer Management (Double click and Finish on Local Computer)
Click OK
Double click Computer Management (Local) -> System Tools -> Local Users and Groups -> Users -> Double Click Administrator -> Uncheck Account is disabled -> OK
Now right click Administrator -> Set Password...  ->  Set a decent password to get started.

Now, restart.  Should be good to go.

If this doesn't work try next step:
SHIFT-F10 to bring up command prompt.
type:  CD C:\windows\system32\oobe
type msoobe
enter
Make a generic account and password.  hit finish (if it requests a product key and you have one, enter it now.  if OEM/No key required, just finish).  Set time/date.  Finish.
Restart.
Should be good to go.

Step 3: Error 2:

"The Computer Restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error"

1)      On the same error screen press SHIFT+F10 and it will open up a black Window. (a command prompt window)
2)       In  the black windows type the word "regedit"(without the inverted commas and hit enter. That will open the registry editor.
        In the Registry Editor..
                Browse to....
        HKLocal machine/SYSTEM/SETUP/STATUS/ChildCompletion, and after highliting childcompletion,on the right hand side check for setup.exe. if the value is 1 change it to 3.(by double clicking on setup.exe and changing the value shown in the box).
Then close the registry editor and then also close the black window.
      Then click on OK for the error and the computer will restart and the installation may complete.  just try it and let me know if it worked.

林慧思

林慧思

這是一個很小的問題。
我不在那裡。但據報導,警方在工作中。市民應該讓警察完成他們的工作。
蘋果原來報告指向林慧思,後來轉胎,用心非常可疑。是不是誰反對共產主義,誰就是正義?
在我看來,法輪功同青年關愛協會,都不是良好的組織。說兩個都是搗蛋鬼。
我不認為香港警察故意保護青年關愛協會。和你我一樣,警察都是香港的人,他們都愛香港。
林慧思罵警察只是執行上級的命令
林慧思在與警方的爭執中言辭過火,實屬不當,請向警方道歉。為您的學生,做一個好榜樣。

《蘋果日報》偏頗報導爭議

在7月25日《蘋果日報》的其中一則即時新聞報導中,引用了事件中最初出現的女教師罵警版本的影片,並以《女教師喪鬧,警冷靜應對,網民Like爆》為題報導,隨即引起不少網民非議,批評《蘋果日報》報導偏頗,令林慧思造成傷害。事後《蘋果日報》刪除有關影片及報導,報導取向亦改為支持林慧思,但卻沒有為起初的報導道歉及澄清。
