can I update an installation clean windows xp home sp1 to the latest specifications of MS

Hi all

I have a laptop Acer Aspire 1672 old, but hey, its operating system is windows xp home edition and it is to the last MS specification, because it became very crowded at the time I want to do a clean install of a disc I have, not the original repair disk acer, the disc that I would use is the Service Pack 1 of windows xp edition oem family I have the key and it's a legitimate disc that I used on one another, now defunct, the laptop. Once installed I was able to download all the service packs and updates to MS to make save spec? Or is it possible to create from my laptop, a disk where I could do a clean install without losing updates, I've already installed?

Best regards

Terry B

Have a look here. If you have a recovery partition, you can set it to factory settings. Unfortunately, you will need to update the * out of it thereafter. http://www.pctechbytes.com/Acer/Acer-Aspire-system-recovery-partition/ I hope this helps.

Edit: LOL! I can't believe that it filtered c - rap!

    Thank you, Lisa

    Hello Lista

    In my opinion you should look forward and begin using the new Windows7 operating system. It is really good OS, well done and runs with good performance on Toshiba laptops.
    Please note that you have most recent laptop with newer hardware model designed for standards of Win7.
    Yes, you can install Win7 when you want.

    Win7 is fully supported and you won't have any problems with it.
    To return to Windows XP edition family has no much sense to me, except to use some old software designed for Windows XP Home edition only.

    Anyway, what model of laptop you have exactly (L550-xxx)?

    I have a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ system unit, model no PSAG1E-OOFOO4EN (think they are 'o' and not '0', circle with slash through it) with WXP Pro.

    I recently contracted a virus inside and as he removed, however it is not good so I want to re - install Windows XP Home edition. I backed up the computer, I have a Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition disk and I have my product key.
    I put the CD/DVD in BIOS to run 1 drive and tells me that I can boot from the CD, I press a button and it loads the CD, select the option where to install windows.

    BUT! I can t go further than what windows does not detect the HD said he s not now, or whatever.

    My question is this: Please can someone me step by step instructions on how to reinstall XP and a link to all the drivers I need to make it work?

    PLEEASE!

    It's simple on my PC, also, please keep in mind, I am best suited for working on cars, I'm not stupid, but my calloused hands search for computers a little more difficult than Motors please not in many computer technical terms.

    Hi jeff

    Here's your solution:
    1. go to bios with F2 when you see the toshiba start screen.
    2. Select the arrow to the left using the "Advanced".
    3 press down until you get to "SATA Controller Mode".
    4 change, using F7/F8, Chang [AHCI] setting [compatibility].
    5. make sure the CD/DVD drive is the first to start and F10 save and exit. computer restart when you are prompted to "press any key" press a button and hey presto as before windows will start the installation, but this time you won't get windows you said:

    Set up did not find Ant hard disks installed on your computer.

    Make sure any drive HARD are powered on and properly connected to your computer and any hard disk related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or Setup program.

    implementation cannot continue press f3 to goto hell... uh I mean leaving the installation

    And you can continue on your installation of Windows XP Home edition.

    Hope I helped many other jeff's in the same boat. XD

  • Preparation of an installation of Windows XP Home edition CD with a MINIMUM required drivers for A200-1AX

    Greetings,

    I am trying to install Windows XP Home edition on my old days by Satellite A200-1AX. Today, I tried to boot from the CD of Windows XP Home edition or after the copy of the system files, the laptop produces the error that Setup did not find any hard disk during the Installation of Windows XP. I looked on the internet and found the following page:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows/resolving-Setup-did-not-find-any-hard-disk-drives-during-Windows-XP-installation/

    Explains how to resolve this problem. So I try to make my own installation CD of Windows XP Home edition with the necessary drivers. My first question is: what are the minimum required drivers to ensure a smooth installation process until I get the XP running? It is not necessary to install the drivers for all the A200-1AX since the first installation of XP, I can always go back and install those remaining of the XP; but I don't want the installation process interrupted due to a missing driver where I have to repeat the process of manufacturing more install of WXP CD custom. The list of drivers and devices provided by Toshiba is too long to write on a single installation with XP CD.

    My second question is: there is an update of the bios/firmware required in accordance with the instruction list. Is it necessary BEFORE or AFTER the installation of Windows XP Home edition?

    If I decide to go back to VISTA using the recovery CD, I must restore the bios/firmware?

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Best regards, Ashraf.

    > My first question is: what are the minimum required drivers to ensure a smooth installation process until I get the XP running

    You will need to include only the Intel Matrix Storage Manger for the XP CD again. Without this iMSM XP will not see the HARD drive
    This driver is important. Other drivers can be installed after the installation of XP!

    > My second question is: there is an update of the bios/firmware required in accordance with the instruction list. Is it necessary BEFORE or AFTER the installation of Windows XP Home edition?

    There are 2 versions of BIOS; One for Vista and one for XP. Generally, the update of the BIOS must be made before the instillation of OS but you can also try to do after installing XP. In both cases, the update of the BIOS would be possible.

    > If I decide to go back to VISTA using the recovery CD, I must restore the bios/firmware?
    Generally, Yes! Without the good BIOS features like the FN buttons could not work properly!

    If you still want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, please see:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • Problem after installation of Windows XP Home on Satellite L355-S7812

    Hello

    I went down to WXP and after that, I have problem with the display driver. It does not work. I tried to use the Toshiba site and installation was successful, but without effect. Information about Device Manager, is that this driver is corrupted or missing. Drivers from the Intel site is not allowed to install. I have Mobile Intel 965 Chipset Family Extress.
    I also have the problem with some "IDE Device" I don't know what it is.
    I tied with WXP + SP2, SP3, and Windows XP Home edition. The same result.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    Strange sounds, running an Intel display driver won´t. It is the first time I ve never heard for such a thing. First of all:

    Installed all THE drivers of Windows XP on the Toshiba site? It's really important because there are essential tools that are the reason this machine works correctly and with his overall performance and stability.

    Are installed the chipset drivers? If Yes, then I do not double because the display drivers intel today should be able to be installed on your machine.
    What display driver you have installed? There are different types for the same chipset, and you should be careful when downloading these drivers for your machine. You should always look for drivers who adapt for MOBILE chipsets. In this case, you should look for the 965 Express mobile chipset.

    Regarding your problem of IDE device: do you have that you have installed the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Manager? See also the Intel site for this driver and the problem should go away.

  • I have problems when sending emails on Outlook Express (Windows XP Home) told in the Outbox, even if they were sent. What can I do?

    I have problems when sending emails on Outlook Express (Windows XP Home) told in the Outbox, even if they were sent.  What can I do?

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.
