How to activate Windows XP after the installation of repair when you cannot connect to Normal startup.

I got XP Home SP2 OEM installed on an AMD machine and the power supply is dead.
I have a P4, I prefer to use in any case, I moved the hard drives of the AMD machine to machine P4.  Of course, XP wouldn't boot.
Without saving anything, I performed a repair installation (under the installer, not Recovery Console).
Everything seemed ok, but eventually, I restarted XP and a message box informed me that I could not connect until I had activated XP.
Unfortunately, I can not run the Activation Assistant because I can not connect.

I found that I could start the computer Safe Mode / command prompt and could then start Windows Explorer from the command line.
I followed some advice I found online: I extracted wpa.dbl drive OEM installation and copied in the folder Windows\System32 and rebooted.  Nothing apparently changed; "" I still couldn't log mode "normal".
I restarted mode safe mode / command prompt, began to Windows Explorer and installed XP SP3.

Now I can connect mode safe mode without network but cannot connect with networking.  Normal mode is not yet available.

When I try to start 'normally', the saying that I need to activate before I can connect message.  If I say 'Yes' to 'Activate now?', the background of the desktop appears (my own shows JPG) - but that's all.  The mouse cursor is there, but I have found no way to access all the features after it.

I need suggestions for possible patches that will avoid the need to reinstall completely.

Here is the response of Fracture, it worked for me:

  • I have windows xp after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode

    I have windows XP after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode?

    Hello

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         What happens when you try to start in normal mode?

    Method 1

    Windows XP can in every start Safe Mode by default. Even if you select the option Start Windows normally, it always starts in Mode without failure. IOW, you can't get out of safe mode.

    This happens if the switch/SafeBoot is added to the Boot.ini file. / SafeBoot parameter forces a boot in safe mode by using the specified parameters. The available parameters are:

    (a) minimal

    (b) network

    (c) safeboot: minimal (alternateshell)

    For more information about the boot.ini switches, see visualization and correction of the settings of the boot on x 86 systems

    RESOLUTION

    (a) click Start, run and type MSCONFIG

    (b) click the Boot.ini tab

    (c) If you have a dual-boot system, select the entry that is appropriate under the [operating systems]

    (d) in section downstairs, Startup Options uncheck / hisFEBOOT

    (e) click OK

    (f) restart Windows

    The entry/SafeBoot are removed from the Boot.ini file.

    Method 2:

    If the above method is not the cause, it seems that Service Pack 3 is not installed correctly.

    Step 1: You try to run the system restore from safe mode that will repair return the computer to the point while it was working fine.

  • Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

    The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
    I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

    I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

    This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

    QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

    The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

    (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

    Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)
    John

    You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

    And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

    That is right.

    Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

    His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

    I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

    I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

    The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

    Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

  • How can I get rid of the box that appears when you start Firefox 'Restore previous Session'?

    How can I get rid of the box that appears when you start Firefox 'Restore previous Session'?

    Subject: House is the default in Firefox 4 home page - look at the address bar containing the addresses of web page - it is the container for Google search, with a 'extract container' and below these elements is the Previous Session Restore button. It's not the same homepage that previous versions of Firefox used (although it is similar in appearance), it is a 'local' page that won't load the Internet.

    Set this page as your home page, which is what Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions had for the default home page. He has Previous Session Restore button/link.

    HP8500 A909A, the installation program recognizes printer, but cannot connect

    Ok.

    It is installed by USB on the other printer?

    Did you share the printer?

    have you set up a virtual usb port?

    Have you tried to use the diagnosis of HP printer installation utility to help Setup and configuration of your printer?

    It would have been simpler to use the LAN connector so the other PC online would not be a condition for its availability.

    (1) connect the printer with the LAN connector to your network switch or router and turn it on.

    (2) make sure that the IP address of the printer is your network subnet via the embedded Web server or printer print Panel menu.

    (3) set it up as a network on all PCs compuuter to make it available for use

  • Can I activate windows 7 after re-installation

    I have converted the disk from basic to dynamic disk, to make more partitions. But now, because of some problems, the computer began trolling. So, I tried factory restore windows using the "recovery Partition". But it does not work. After some research, I found that the recovery partitions lose their functionality if the volume is converted to dynamic. But then I thought of converting the dynamic disk to basic disk so that the recovery partition would start working again, but the problem with this is, I have to remove all the volumes of the partition on the disk (which also includes the recovery partition) before that I can convert it to a basic disk.

    I did the system recovery disk, but the optical drive on my laptop has stopped working, perhaps because I've never used.

    So, if I install windows using another Installer (downloaded form Internet and made a bootable USB key), it will be possible for me to activate windows by using the product key on the back of my laptop. ?

    Laptop model: Sony Vaio SVE15118FNB

    OS: windows 7 Home premium x 64

    Well it seems that you can not delete the recovery partition. I deleted the other partitions and converted the rear disk Basic. The factory restore then connected the recovery partition, and it worked... !! Thanks to all those who have taken to find a solution to this problem.

  • Activate windows 7 after the expiration date.

    I buy the new computer more than months ago. I thought that the manufacturer has already activated my W7 that I was wrong it just installed but not enabled. Now, after the holidays my W7 is expired and I just get a white screen on Normal Mode.

    I don't have a CD key and re-setup of activation. Is there anyway that I can activate my W7 without going through resettlement. I guess that with the resettlement of W7 I have to reinstall all the other program too.

    I found a way, and it works,

    I restore the pc with stand up CD (I guess I could do it in safe mode too) about 10 days ago and then activate the w7. I had tried before, but I have not check the box date more restring. When I chose this option it gave me a lot more restore date to choose.
    Thank you Andre,
