How can I remove "set up files" and completely reload windows xp?
How can I remove "set up files" and completely reload windows xp? They were installed when I tried to reload xp before and there is always a sp1 on the pc version now.
This CD should work and it should be bootable. It seems that if you always boot from the hard drive and then you look at the content of the CD-ROM in Windows Explorer.
If the BIOS is set to boot from the CD, you should not get a menu asking which device to boot from. At most, you will get something like "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM."
You have an another bootable CD that you know works or do you have another computer you can try this CD to see if it works correctly?

I am running a Pentium Q9300 with Windows Vista. I have change my mother and put card at level of CPU of AMD Phenom II X 4 965. I bought a new copy of Windows 7. I need to update all those things while maintaining the old hard drive. Well, I don't know how to do it without other wipe the HD, fitness with an upgrade of the OS, or a link is not my new Windows 7 to my old hardware configuration. I need to keep all programs, files, folders, and data I have on the hard drive.
How can I do all three and the link to my new Windows 7 for my new hardware?
Hello
You can not do
the old hard disk contains the drivers for the motherboard that is old and in all likelihood will not start when it is installed with the new motherboard
a clean install is normally required when changing motherboards
__________________________________________________________
and I think that you should also read this on the granting of licences and motherboards:
If you have a license to OEM preinstalled, DELL, HP, etc any update at the Board level or changes must be done jointly with the computer manufacturer
an OEM license is linked to the original tho hardware it is installed on this computer life
When the computer dies the license dies with him, unless the manufacturer is willing to help you
If you have a retail license and reactivation problems:
1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
2. press enter on your keyboard
3. Select your country.
4. take the phone activation option and brace yourself for a real person instead of the automatic fast process
· When you do the phone activation process hang to a real person explain to, instead of the following prompts for automatic scenario

How to uninstall Windows XP, save data and re-install Windows XP
My computer is running very slowly; Some programs take literally minutes to appear. I have the disks so I figure I'll uninstall and reinstall. I would like to save the data of losing it; address of e-mail etc. Do not know how to proceed. Thanks for any comments.
Technically speaking, you uninstall an operating system as such, you just format the drive where it is installed and then install another OS or use the drive for anything you want. This is the easiest part, just start the computer with your CD of Windows XP and the disk & partition selection screen, select the partition where you want to install Windows XP, and then format the NTFS partition and proceed with the Windows installation. Very important: make sure you have the Windows XP product key BEFORE you to format the Windows installation! Without the key, you will not be able to install Windows XP. If you have lost the key, it can be retrieved the operational facility before formatting it. You must also have the latest drivers for your as motherboard and chipset at hand, these are the first drivers you need to install after installing Windows, then you normally install video drivers and other drivers. It helps a lot if you know what hardware is installed and if you have the drivers on hand or that you know at least that the manufacturer has them available on their site.
Save your settings and personal data may be a little harder, if all your web browsing is done with Internet Explorer and if all your e-mail is done with Outlook Express you can use the files and Settings Transfer Wizard to save these settings and files and then restore them to the new facility. If you use another browser or web e-mail program and then saving those settings and files will depend on programs.
With regard to your personal information only you can know or decide what should be saved, usually most of your data would be in your profile (C:\Documents and Settings\Votre user name) folder, but we all know that most of the users themselves with data stored outside the profile folder, you should know where your data is and then back up to CD DVD, s, external or second internal drive or another computer on your network. If you ask me the safest way is to clone the hard disk whole or all but the Windows folder on a second hard drive to backup.
PS: It's also things go much faster if you first download Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 and burn them on a CD beforehand. Install them AFTER installing the drivers. (You have SP1 or SP2 installed prior to installing SP3, you can install SP2 without SP1). He's going to win a lot of time when you go to the Windows Update site if the installation is already upgraded to SP3.

I struggled to find out how I can put the applications installation and adobe on one other drive other than my C drive. Please help me. My C drive becomes too full.
The CC itself application will always install on the root of the system drive, as well as several shared components. Once the CC application has been installed, you can choose a different location for the main installers in the application settings.
