How can I install an "orphan" XP disk on a different computer than the original on which it has initially been used?

My friend has a Dell XP Home computer. He is infected with XP Antivirus viruses. I would like to re - install Windows for him, but he did not receive the drive when he bought in 04. I have a XP Pro that I bought and installed on a computer on which I built for my grandson for several years back. Since then, I upgraded this computer several times and finally installed Win 7 on it. This is now an orphan, so say, XP disk how can I use it to make a new installation on my friend's computer?

  • RE; How can I add a cd rom disk driver to a top of the tower that has no one.and do I have to format disks before I can put them in the driver?

    I always use Nero or Roxio software, but Windows XP it has a function limited to do so.  First of all, if you must make sure that the drive you purchased is able to WRITE on the discs.  The vast majority are, but you should check that first.  Normally Windows will find the right driver for the latter and load it, but you can check the Device Manager to see.  XP if the memories are good, you click on Start-> support-> Device Manager.  Locate the entry of CD/DVD.  If there is none? or! next to him, you have the right driver.  Also, if your device came with a driver, it is another indication that you probably don't have something special for her.  Then, you will need to check to see what type of disc you have.  Many external DVD/CD players will read and write CD but not write DVD.  There are CDs CD - r and CD - RW.  CD - RW is to be formatted, but normally you don't format CD - r.  You just need to copy and paste to, click the disk, and then open Windows Explorer, on the drive, and you should see something like a list of files waiting to be burned to a disc.  Should be a button there to burn.

    Now, let me propose an alternative.  An external hard drive is much better for purposes of backup CDs.  You can buy 500 GB for $70, and 1,5 to ones for about $ these days $100.  You can also buy flash drives.  You can get a 16 GB one for $10.  These would be at least 1600 pictures.  You can also buy 32 GB for $20 flash drives.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • How can I have Windows 8 and Windows XP on a computer at the same time?

    Now, the computer is Windows XP. My ICT SBA require to use windows XP for better compatibility. How can I have 2 types of windows on 1 computer?

    A few months ago I installed Windows 8 client Preview of XP and I deleted the WIndows XP.
    Now, I have two systems at the same time, so I installed XP again, but the two windows of the failure to run (DLL and kernel problems).
    Then I installed XP again and the format of the drive that contains the Windows 8, I finally install XP on this drive.
    After that, I tried to install version 8 for Windows but I said that I can't keep the XP data, instead of keeping the whole OS.
    I find some articles online, but they introduce only have Windows 7, I can add XP...
    (I have two internal hard drives and an external hard drive)

    It pretty much applies to Windows XP, too. (Microsoft has removed most Windows XP of the database-specific help pages already.)

  • How can I fix my printer when it prints on different places on the page?

    Thanks in advance,

    Installation program:

    HP Photosmart C4280

    Windows XP Service Pac 2

    Office 2007

    Adobe CS2 Bundle

    Details:

    I pre-printed forms on semi-glace 4 x 6 paper.

    I have attemtped to print in the empty fields.

    When I press print, the printer does not consistenty start in the same place.

    so to adjust the document / image is not applicable, because is not printing to the same place.

    I tried printing from Illustrator, photoshop, acrobat, word, & windows fax and picture viewer

    and got the same results.

    Printing on letter size paper works very well (and I love the printer by the way).

    Is there a hardware problem, or is this driver/software problems?

    How can I fix it?

    Thanks again for any help.

    I think that it is a hardware problem.  The rollers are probably problems picking up the thick supports relatively smooth.  You might have better results to clean the rolls of paper with a wet paper towel collection.  Also make sure that the paper is loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I did a long time ago and it does not help.

    However, I found a solution.

    'Master Media Center' (free version of the program) will download the XML MetaData files and place them in the folder of video/film. This will force even make a MetaData XML file if it cannot find anything online.

    Apparently, Windows Media Center uses XML files to determine what kinds of display movies under.

    Without a metadata file XML Media Center will put the video file in the type 'Other' even if you wrote a kind under details.

    Now, if I can get my Windows Media Center to stop crashing when I open "Movies!
