How to download a recovery disc of xp to a computer other than mine.

Hi, my friend has a computer laptop windows xp home edition, his girlfriend a recovery disc, it ran, but said, that he left his laptop with nothing on it, since the software does not load anything for his laptop is empty. Can I download a windows xp my windows 7 or vista on a drive for him? and if so how do I download it? I have download or tried to download xp, I recorded it on my E drive but it came as a zip file, then I didn't know if I should then send again for my drive e or who perhaps was just what I needed to do and his loan.  Didn't want to open it to see just in case where it downloaded to mine, so I thought I should ask, and be on the safe side. Thanks 4 your time. Very much appreciated. Kim

Hi redgiboy,

There is no free option to download Windows XP.  The best option is to visit the site Web of the manufacturer of the computer and order replacement disks.  If Windows XP was purchased from a reseller, do not preinstalled on the computer, see thisdocument.

    It is not recommended to delete the files in the recovery partition.  Recovery partition contains the Windows information to retrieve the computer crashing. I would ask you to contact the manufacturer of the computer on it.

  • How to create a recovery disc with all vista updates?

    original title: how to create a recovery disc with all vista updates without starting from scratch, so I can replace my hard drive?

    My hard drive seems to be dying.  I would replace the drive.  I reloaded vista from scratch with all the updates, but it took forever.  I would like to make a record of recovery with all updates.  IAM on vista Home premium.  32 bit

    If you want a good backup program that backups image, I recommend Acronis True Image 2010:http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/.  It offers a free trial, so you can test and if you want it's only about $30 for the original version.  A lot of people I know this program and use it instead of Vista even in versions of Vista that offers imagery as this program does a better job.  Of course you also need a place to put the backup (which will take a lot of space), so also consider.  The best choice would be a USB external hard drive at least as large as the readers you want to back up (not only the data on them, but the entire available disk space, so you miss when you add more information about the disks).

    You cannot use IMGBURN do - it can't do anything like that.  It must be the imagery of backup software.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    If this isn't the case, then you can order of ASP (authorized service provider) in your country.

  • Is it easy to prepare a recovery disc for my HP Pavillion computer

    Hello

    I just buy this computer this week and know that my HP computer does not come with recovery discs windows 7, and I have to do.  I've never done it before, how easy it is, and how much time does it take for disks

    to prepare?  I know that there are 4 discs I have to do.

    Desktop PC HP Pavilion P7 1235, windows 7 64 bit operating system

    The instructions were very clear, and the use of DVD + R media is well defined in all HP documents.  HP has decided to include this statement in its documents for a valid reason. Please use DVD + r Brands will vary in quality, but I find Verbatim DVD + R excellent.

    PS > I used to recommend on media DVD + R brand HP, but it is very difficult to find.

  • How to use a recovery disc?

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba M300 yesterday and the first thing I did was create the recovery of 2 DVD disc. However, I don't know how to use it just in case I ever need.

    Whenever I put the disc in the drive it opens and I see a whole bunch of files and I don't know what they are. The recovery disk is supposed to act as a windows installation disk?

    How to use it?

    The previous forum used it well described. You must start your laptop and set up the CD/DVD as first boot device. When the facility starts just follow the on-screen menu.

    Please initialize with the number of DVD 1.

    If you have any other questions please post again.
