How do I restart the OS (Windows XP) to a pc made-to-measure as power Spec?

I have a pc built custom spec of power with the home edition of Windows XP already installed on it, however; the OS just stop work and answer. Is there a restore for windows XP for pc custom cd?
Robert

BTW - this is 'install' (perhaps ' reinstall') 'reboot' not the operating system (OS)...  Reset is nothing more computer restart - turn turn off/on the computer, etc..  The operating system is installed.  ;-)

If you have any installation media and no way to get the installation media - you do not install.  Not to mention that if you do not have the installation CD and that you did not backup system in such a way that you can recover from such a disaster - you probably don't have the product key you would need if you could beg/borrow/steal the CD suitable for your system anyway (the installation CD is only part of the equation - you also need the product key [serial number if you want] which allows the said) copy.)

Essentially - and even if it is likely, not something you want to hear - the choices you have in my opinion is:

1) depend on your backup system to restore the system to a working state.  (If you've never done before - you probably start to make these once you have everything in working order again - investment of USD 90 in some external media and a bit of time to install and you would not here ask about it at all.)

(2) use the recovery CD/game/instructions that the original manufacturer of the system has given (they should give you a few ways to restore the system) to restore the system.  They may have left up to you to produce real CD/DVD via a shortcut or instruction set that they gave you or they may have been so cheap to only include a version of HDD Recovery (which fails miserably if it's the hard drive that fails).  Part of the responsibility the however - who is with the final consumer.

(3) If you know whether or not you had an OEM or retail version (looks like OEM) Windows XP Home Edition * and * you know someone with such a copy of Windows XP Home Edition who is willing to let you borrow or rent or buy off them for long enough time for you to make a copy or just use it (better if you make a copy of review where you are now) * AND *. you have your product key for Windows XP Edition family - then you can get your operating system installed.  * NOTE * This is all you get we will install fresh - anything else that you have will have to be recovered from the installation media for the other products and their subsequent product keys and serial numbers.

(4) purchase a new OEM product key and CD from somewhere (Google/Bing to it - maybe you'll find some trustworthy with a copy dealer out there.)  The odds are against it (not necessarily against find someone selling a copy of Windows XP in some versions - but to find a legitimate copy), but it is possible.  I'd probably watch * any * version of Windows XP if it was maybe of your choice – Windows XP Professional.

(5) if the characteristics of your computer can handle - a different version of Windows could be bought as well as its product key and license and installed.

(6) an other OS (like Ubuntu) could be installed on the computer.

  • How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

    Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

    I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

    I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

    How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

    It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

    I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

    I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

    Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

    I look forward to your reply.

    If these are apps you added and want more, you can use the functionality of your computer factory restore. Unfortunately, this erases the disk and leave you with a double précis of his State when you turned on for the first time.  Then, you would have to do all the updates of Windows and then install all the programs you want.

    Otherwise, use programs uninstaller (from Control Panel) for each application that you do NOT want to uninstall.

    Hello Cosmicbbb,

    Click Start > click Run > type regedit and press "Enter."
    Navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ACPI\Parameters.
    Right-click in the empty space in the right pane and select new | DWORD value.
    Attribute value name
    Then, double-click attributes
    Make sure hexadecimal is selected by breaking 70
    Click OK, close the registry editor and restart.
    Now when you choose to stop the computer in the start menu in XP, you will not be able to choose the day before by accident.
