Accidentally deleted WindowsXP! Need to install new drive

Trying to install Linux along side WIndows XP, I accidentally deleted the boot to XP files. If windows XP is still on my system, but it cannot start. Where can I order a new XP installation disc?

I checked your model here at HP support page and nothing is more than a disc of recovery indicated as being available. Are you sure that you burn & maybe set aside recovery when you got the machine as you normally have been asked to do?

If this is not the case, they are available here for $27:

  • Do I need to have the conexant modem when I already have internet cable modem. I continue to receive messages from windows that I need to install a driver

    I bought this computer used for the school. previously, the owner used AOL and dial-up. I have cable and a cable modem, so I removed the modem to see State of windows that they needed to install a driver for the computer to work. Also, I have windows 7 on my old computer, but have not been able to install it.

    Hi Crystal, azure

    If you are using a router/cable modem, then you don't need to dial the modem conexant. If you are asked for the driver, then you can either install the driver or, if you want to get rid of the quite conextant modem you can remove the material completely, assuming you know how to do this. Of course, you will have to open your case and remove the conextant modem. For this I guess you have a desktop PC. A laptop would be more difficult to remove the conexant modem, unless the modem is a stand alone.

    You give no details as to your problem of not being able to install Windows 7. More information will be required before anyone can really help you with this problem. An idea of what is happenning when you try to install windows 7 and error messages would be useful; What version of Windows 7 and whether retail or OEM. By the way if you try to install an OEM copy from another PC on your computer then you will obviously have problems like the copy so attached to the first PC OEM installed on the byt the PC manufacturer.

  • I need to install the driver Nvidia GeForce8600GT GM965 Express Chipset Family?

    Hello

    Just, I got my Inspiron 1720 and decided to do a clean install of Vista. This is my second attempt. So far so good. The first attempt, I couldn't install the GM965 Express Chipset Family driver. I kept having the following error:

    "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.

    The Setup will exit. »

    Now, I wonder if I don't even need to install this driver! My Panel of display adapater property indicates NVIDIA GeForce8600GT. Maybe I just need to install the nVidia drivers and that's all!

    Anyone can guide me please on this issue? Do I need to install the GM965 Express Chipset Family driver when my property to display adapater indicates GeForce8600GT of NVIDIA?

    Thank you

  • HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX recovery deleted partition, need to install windows

    Hello
     
    I have a Pavilion DV6 3122TX laptop. System would block extensively when I ever access any file, was not a virus or whatever it is, I discovered it was the HD due to the error at startup screen "error of hard disk, hard drive 1 (3F1)", I ran all the auto controls and diagnostics but nothing improved. So I formatted the disc completely deleted all partitions even recoveries and other (my bad).

    My recovery disc can not be read by the laptop DVDRom Red flashes for a few seconds and then nothing happens, "said no system disk. Replace the disk and then pres any key blah blah blah... "The drive is fine I checked. I changed the boot options to boot from a CD/DVD internal.

    I need as soon as possible a working windows as a temporary solution. I can't install Windows 7, it seems because of some lock (turns on it was unable to detect the HARD drive). Windows XP cannot see the player because of the requirement of AHCI driver (cannot switch back to IDE) due to the lock of the BIOS. Then I tried the method of slipstream AHCI driver, now, here's my problem I just can't find the AHCI drivers for my laptop since I can not connect to Win to check with CPUz. Can someone direct me to text-mode drivers for this laptop at the wake in winxp x 86 using NliteOS. I'll take the laptop to be fixed at a service center next month, but now I need a solution. Even if you can fix my recovery solution, it would be great.

    I can access the hard disk using Linux. So the HARD drive is ok, please do not refer me to change the HARD drive that is not an option right now. (HARD drive was the problem)

    Sorry for this long post
    Thanks in advance...

    Hello

    Hard drive error, hard drive 1 (3F1) is the disk failure hard try loading in the Bios pass Diagnostics, perform the test, if it fails, you will need to replace the drive. In case your hard drive is not detected in the Bios, you must reinstall the part of the rear panel.

  • Install new drive - restore basic questions

    Comments have a new internal drive installed on my MacBook Pro mid-2009 and after reading the relevant articles confirm a few basic things since this is my first time doing so wanted.

    Should I format the new disk using disk utility before using my last Time Machine backup to restore my files and Mavericks? If so, just start as normal and go to disk utility > format the drive > shut down > restart by pressing Option > choose restore in Time Machine? If it's just restart by pressing Option and choose restore from my latest backup from Time Machine?

    I am running Mavericks. Apple somehow automatically restore and update me to El Capitan?

    In addition to the Time Machine on my Time Capsule backups, I all supported up to two ext HD. Everything I need to do in preparation or at the time of the restoration?

    Should I format the new disk using disk utility before using my last Time Machine backup

    It would be a good idea to do so. You must start on the recovery Partition to reformat the drive. While there, you can restore from Time Machine.
