  • Cannot install Windows XP after the purchase of disk

    I put the disk for Windows xp, but cannot be installed

    You should really start a new thread on this question of yours.  I'll send a message to the moderator to separate this question from this old thread and create a new one for you.

    In any case, if you have installed vista, xp will not be able to install automatically. It's because you try to downgrade your computer.

    However, if the computer already had xp on the computer, and then you could upgrade to vista automatically.

    You'd have to do is to format the hard disk in the first place, until xp can be reinstalled.

    But there may be another problem for you at this time.

    You see, if you have a computer that has been designed to use vista then xp is maybe not able to work on this computer.   You will have to go place of origin of the computer and see if your machine has hardware drivers that can be used by xp.  In others, you should check if there are drivers xp for your computer model.

    If this is not the case, then it means that your computer cannot start xp, even if you reformat the hard drive and install a new copy of xp on it.

    What is the brand and model of your computer?
