I would like to know where I can get a boot drive for Windows XP home. I have a computer that is running XP and there the BSOD and I can not even boot mode safe. I would like to do a clean install, but I don't have a boot disk.

Hi ShadB311,

Provide us with the information below:

· What is the number and the model of the computer?

· The operating system was preinstalled on the computer?

· What is the service pack installed?

· What is the exact error message with the error code that you receive when you try to start?

· Do you remember any recent changes made before the show?

New installation or repair facility is the last resort that we follow to solve the problem.

  • How to save a copy of Windows XP that has been created by an image?

    I used 'Image for Linux' to create an image of a PC with Windows XP, SP3.  With that done, I can copy the image to a new PC and it works fine (assuming that I stay within the limits of the PC HAL).

    My problem is that I don't have to enter a new key of Windows XP when I installed the image on another PC. for example, I use a license of Windows XP on two PCs.  Since I want to be legitimate on my software license, I tried to activate Windows XP license to new PC - but the computer says that the license is already activated.  So it is logical that the new PC would react like that - I put the picture of an activated copy of Windows on a new PC, the new copy of Windows must also think that it is enabled.

    All this brings me to my original question: how to save a copy of Windows XP that has been created by an image?

    Hi RichardMatt,

    How to make a reformat online Windows XP?

    You cannot reformat the drive or the Partition of Windows XP while XP is running. To reformat the XP partition, you will need to insert the Windows XP installation CD and boot from the CD. One of the installation option is delete and reformat a partition.

    Warning: Reformatting will result in the loss of all your data files (Documents, Photos, music, etc.) and you also need to reinstall XP because it will be removed after reformatting.

    Is there a particular reason you want to do this?

    Installation of xp and blue screen of death

    Hello

    I recently formatted the partition boot and recovery of a laptop Medion2230, then merged the two partitions in a single NTFS partition.  Don't ask why, it's a long story.

    Then, tried to install a new copy of Windows XP Home.  Everything is OK until the final phase, when the "Blue Screen of death" appeared during the installation of the drivers. Restarted and installing XP as normal to repeat the first onboard staged and went to the "blue screen" at the same point as before.

    Using some diagnostic software, I reformatted the drive again, loaded XP set up and I had the same problem.

    Someone knows what to do?

    Thank you allionii123

    Now solved and pc with Windows XP home.

    Worked the first time.

    Thank you very much for your advice.

    How to impose a layer of HAL during an upgrade or an installation of Windows XP

    Impose a HAL

    To prevent Windows XP to automatically determine the system HAL during the upgrade or installation of Windows XP, you can manually force in a system HAL. To impose an Abstraction Layer HAL during a upgrade or installation of Windows XP, follow these steps:

    1. During the phase in text mode of Setup, when you receive the message at the bottom of the screen, press F5:

      Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver.

      Note If you press F7, the Standard PC HAL loads and the ACPI enforcement is bypassed.

    I would not need this except in the systems of many older and low end... :-(  After all, in the same article, for Standard PC they say: "the CPU can be a 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium II, or Pentium III '...

    Thanks for letting us know what you were doing.  Do you have all the necessary drivers after loading Windows XP?  I would not recommend using the default drivers for any hardware - always see what the manufacturer offers on their web page for each component of your system - card motherboard chipset, audio, video, network devices, etc.
