cannot reinstall, repair or install XP Pro

One year old PC, XP Pro corrupted, have the original CD of XP SP2, puts the emphasis to boot on CD. CD in the drive, run PC and it will open a Windows session, then "this version of windows should active gbe.!" Click Yes and the blue screen - dead. What I am doing wrong?

Hi Guyston,

Thanks for posting. Is it possible to test your drive in another PC to see if it is bootable. If it is bootable into another PC, then you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC or motherboard. They will be able to provide you, the troubleshooting steps in the BIOS to set your boot CD issue.

I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

  • Re-installing xp-pro/sp3 with repair option, breaks down, unable to activate XP,

    Initially, it was suggested that I use the original installation CD to reinstall my copy of XP/Pro on my laptop.
    original problem was that my wifi card would not work.  Not at all.

    In any case, I read not (before..) to save files of activation from the directory windows\system32 (wpa.dbl) of the system, (ugh...)

    I started in cd, said install,.
    He finds a partition (d:\windows), set up a repair
    (I assume that it started with the CD in the drive c :)...))

    Then they gave me the following loverly error message:

    Product activation Windows (window title)

    A problem has prevented Windows exactly check the status of your license for this computer.
    This copy of Windows is not active.

    To continue your copy can be activated musdt with Microsoft Now.

    You wish to proceed?  Yes/No.

    It (even if I do nothing) then proceeds to reboot after 30 seconds...

    and no, I can't in 'normal' mode or in safe mode, but I can switch to trunk/command line mode.

    Now. I also followed an article of $ m to try to disable cause scripts preventing activation of the race.

    SO no I'm up the proverbial Creek without a paddle, as the system starts.

    Help, please...

    (I did however save the wpa.dbl dating back to 2008 (and restored the just), then maybe it stops at least again... auto-redémarrer)
    just rebooted in 'normal' mode, once again, and he says:
    Yes, the reviews, but just reset the system again...

    Help?

    at least if I could get in turn on in safe mode, I might be able to solve this problem...

    Finally I was able to solve the problem of Windows Product Activation. It's a long story, which might have summer cut short with good knowledge about the system so I'll share some thoughts and I hope to help someone else.

    No doubt - a new clean install of Windows XP may be the best option to choose, and the quickest way to walk for a Windows XP system work - that is, not talk about data and especially - applications that need to be reinstalled, reactivated, configured, customized, etc.. That's exactly, what held me to the top of a table shaved installation of Windows XP.

    This fixation error is pretty easy, if you know what to do - find out what actually works, yet. As some of you may have experienced, even Ctrl + Alt + Del and the Task Manager are out of the picture. Curiously, after having the system sitting there for a while, I noticed that the timer is still running. And this knowledge has created an opportunity access key.

    I went back and started Windows XP mode safe mode with command prompt. Note: This is the only boot option, you have to access the system as an administrator (Safe Mode or the network will not work, because they both rely on Explorer [the office], which does not either.) Therefore, work with the command prompt. Once you have access to it, you can access the Scheduler with "AT". I downloaded "MS_WindowsXP_KeyUpdateTool_enu.exe" Microsoft web site and set the Scheduler to run this application. I then rebooted the system in normal startup mode. Once the error message comes up again (what was expected after login), I chose 'Yes', which we know is not anything but do not register a new. After some time, the recording of "MS_WindowsXP_KeyUpdateTool_enu.exe" window came and gave me the opportunity to enter the product key Windows XP system. After I had re-recorded with success, I had to reboot and the system is running.

    Please keep in mind that some services were still not running. The automatic update of windows would not start or the BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer) service, which is required to run Windows updates successfully. To fix that, I did an energetic reapply Windows XP SP3, which fixed nearly all the questions and the known system was running like a charm. I did have to worry about data or programs that had to be reinstalled and reconfigured custom. Any income in the order as expected.

    Good luck to all!

    Is it possible if I reinstall the OS on the other PC?

    While you may install it on another device, you would be unable to activate it because the key (series) is embedded in the BIOS and if you can not access it.

    You will need to buy a new key (and I would buy win 10 instead of win 8)

  • Microsoft cannot activate my repair & re-install?

    After doing a system restore on my Windows XP Home Edition OS (virus problem), he would not start Windows.  I had & used a recovery Kit.  Now I can not even connect.

    A window will appear saying that Microsft should activate this version of Windows.  Click 'Yes' to activate now, I only get error messages about the synchronization stream.  A link in the message informs me wrong parameters?

    At this point, I walk into a cyber-wall at every turn.  I wonder if I used the wrong recovery Kit?

    Noel, thanks for your reply... Mini of Hewlett - Packard Netbook, model 110-1031NR, refurb.  Also HP Recovery Kit; Copyright show HP & Microsoft, 2008, 2009.

    The kit includes:

    (1) CD - Windows XP Home Edition, SP3 (for reinstalling software only)

    (2) DVD - Application & Driver Recovery (to reinstall & repair only)

    (1) CD - CD recovery Microsoft Works 9.0 Application (resettlement, repair)

    No instructions were included.

    I can connect in Safe Mode; in fact, I installed some of the repair mode safe software.  But my icon "connect to" does not show, so I can't get an Internet connection.

    HP will charge $40 - $60 for support, so I tried what I could before that route.

    You will not see an icon "connect for" by default (and you shouldn't need an ethernet connection or a wireless connection) - If you do a right click on the button start, then select Properties, then Start Menu > customize, you will get the option present variations of the icons do Networking your choice here.
    Click on and see what it looks like.

  • Trying to repair XP Home CD, but cannot access the screen where you choose to repair or install fresh.

    Trying to repair XP Home CD, but cannot access the screen where you choose to repair or install fresh.

    I get the first screen where you have the choice to configure windows or press 'r' for recovery console.

    After I press enter for the installer, do not me the usual on-screen next where it is said that if the following XP installation is damaged, you can repair it.  Instead, it leads me to a screen where it shows my partitions and asked that one I want to install windows on.  If I choose "C:" he then told me that there is already a system opperating on the partition...

    Error msg "the serial number you entered is valid, but cannot find a product calling on this computer" appears. Impossible to reinstall CS5.5 on Macbook pro after the hard drive crashed and was changed.

    Hello

    Thank you for your response. I've finally managed to connect with a support staff through the online chat portal & advises him to download CS3 web premium. Tried to find it, but this option is not available in scrolling to the bottom of the box. Ultimately, the staff had to help me to unlock the CS5.5 update manually from its end. He indicated that, in my case, the situation could not be resolved through this method, and I'd still have to contact support via the portal chat staff to help unlock my CS5.5 If this problem occur again should I need to reinstall it on a new computer laptop.

  • Installed Acrobat Pro, but cannot progress after the software license agreement screen

    Hi all

    I just installed Acrobat Pro, but when I run it, I get the Adobe Software License Agreement screen with no text inside and with the buttons of towing, Quit and Accept. I click on accept, but nothing seeems to arrive and I can launch Adobe Acrobat! It's really frustrating! I use MAc OS X 10.8.2

    Please can someone help.

    See you soon

    Hi Saviomfx,

    It is a known issue with Acrobat XI

    Issue: Mac OS only. The launch, a blank screen of the EULA is displayed, that cannot be accepted and Acrobat does not run. This problem can appear if you have any of the installed products of CCM or Creative Suite and you tried to install Acrobat XI from a different source.

    Solution: Launch any other product which is part of the CCM or Creative suite. Then, turn it off by choosing Help > deactivate. Quit the application. Then start Acrobat and accept the EULA. Then, for CCM subscription product, launch it and choose the license of this software to reactivate the product of the CCM. If a CS app, launch it and turn it back on.

    Please visit: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html

    Or you can try this:

    Go to Applications-> Utilities-> Adobe Installers-> Adobe Acrobat X-> remove Acrobat X using the application uninstaller.

    Relaunch Acrobat XI and try to accept the EULA.

  • Cannot install XP Pro on the replacement hard drive.

    I had to replace the hard drive in my desktop pc and now when trying to install XP Pro on the new drive, Windows Installer States he is not hard drives are.

    I suspect it's maybe because I couldn't install the HDD no operating system drivers.  The hdrive installation instructions say to boot from the Windows installation CD.  Then, when you are prompted for the SCSI or RAID driver to press F6 (which I did) then press S to specify additional devices (which I did).  At that time there installing Windows asks me to insert the "floppy" third-party driver in drive A:.  I have no floppy or the car drive.  I tried to load the CD of drivers in two of my two cd/dvd drives, but it has never recognized the cd.

    I contacted Seagate hdrive manufacturer and they said that my motherboard drivers need be updated so that windows would allow the hard disk drivers be installed from Cd.

    They said either communicate with the provider of the motherboard and ask drivers to a floppy, then buy and install a floppy drive on my pc all them in order to get Windows Installer on this new hard drive.  Another option was to buy a new operating system!

    Hoping someone here knows a reasonable solution to this.  My Win XP Pro version is 2002.  I create a copy of it and integrated SP3 with it and tried to start one, but still, it does not recognize the hard drive.  The hard disk appears in the BIOS.

    Thank you!
