HP a6130n install Windows XP on the new drive

Hello

This is my first post here.  I think I need a new hard drive for my a6130n HP install Windows XP.

When I tried to install Windows XP on the drive – which had Vista - I kept getting several error messages whenever I tried.  Once or twice I was told to press a button if I was going to enter additional drivers out of a CD.  Then I learned all my space partition was used, so I thought that my hard drive was dead.

I installed XP on Dells before and it was pretty simple - and never asked me if I had to add drivers.  So, I wonder, if indeed, my current hard drive is dead, can I 'just' put in a new HD Sata, get ready to go on a CD disc or memory - a6130n HP drivers and load Windows XP?

Or should I find and buy a new hard drive with XP already and the drivers loaded and not try to do it myself?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all your help!

I'll try that... once more!  With a new/good HD!

  • Install Windows 7 on the new drive hard but no disc

    My hard drive has failed recently and I replaced it myself. Now I am trying to install Windows 7 as operating system, but I do not have a disk. All I have is the product key. What should I do? Any help would be appreciated!

  • Cannot install Windows 8 with the new drive, because the key will not

    I just rebuilt a 64-bit pc. I had windows 7 on it and decided to do a clean install of windows 8. Bought a version OEM from Amazon yesterday. Arrived today and the disc was in double sealed package of Microsoft Corporation.  The package comes with the key in very small print on the back that I had to read with a magnifying glass. This key is not accepted during the installation of the software. I checked that it was OK and I tried several times but the key has not been accepted. What should I do now?

    Hello

    I assume you are using the disk that came with the OEM key to install your system? If you are then the only people who can help you is the team of Microsoft License, you can contact them here:

    I found the solution.

    Response to question 1; using a recovery & backup software to clone my current operating system, and then transfer them to my new hard drive.

    or another solution, send to a computer service shop and let the experts (workers) install it for me (the most simple and sure way).

  • Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

    I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

    While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

    So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

    TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

    The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

    Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

    First chech that the BIOS is configured to use the CD/DVD drive as frist boot device.

    Then remove the old drive and only connect the new drive.

    Start the PC and insert the CD that you created and boot from the CD.  If there is a "Long full" test, which is that you need to perform. Also check the SMART data (look for bad sectors).

  • Can I install Windows XP on a new drive with the product key only?

    The hard drive on my HP desktop computer failed and died.  I don't have a recovery disk.  Can I reinstall windows XP on a new drive as Windows XP product key is located on the cover of PC.  If so, how?  Any suggestion please!

    With the procuct only key?  No, you cannot, the product key is just a combination of 25 alphanumeric characters, where the installation files will come from?   You will need to contact HP for a recovery disc.

  • Portege M400 - cannot install Windows XP on the new HARD drive

    Hello here is my problem,

    I bought an older Portegre M400 E, without a HARD drive. So I buy a new Samsung 400 GB. I looked in the Bios (ACPI BIOS Version 3.40) and it is ok. He shows me the HARD drive with built in Assign LD - 0 status ONLINE, 400 GB size so it seems to be nice. Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0
    So, I want to boot from the Windows XP CD, not recovering my own.

    Windows open to the top and after a short period, the installation ends with the message that it is not any HARD drive. This I try sometimes :-( Hope someone can help me.
    Do not forget that I didn't have any HARD disk with the dates of the laptop.

    Thank you Carsten
    (Sorry my English is not so good Im from the Germany)

    Wilkommen!

    > Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0

    I don't know much about your model, but I think that something wrong with the raid in the Bios settings. What other options are available in the Bios for the State of the hard drive? I found the RAID driver on the Toshiba driver page. It is possible, that you can integrate in with a program called nlite Windows installation disc or install Windows as in compatibility mode, and install the Raid driver. then

  • How to install Windows XP on the new hard drive after an old crashed?

    HI: my name is greg, my brother recently bought a used computer to replace the one he had, which crashed. Itrdidnt have a hard drive in it, so he put an in, he had then loaded the windows xp for the computer crashed, but after that, it could not authenticate the computer only it Noah has can you help me thank you so much Greg

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on a single computer at a time (and if it's a Windows 7 Upgrade version the new computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • Cannot install Windows Server on the new server Poweredge T110 II 2012

    HI - just took delivery of my new Dell PowerEdge T110 II with two 1 TB drives in RAID 1, but without any operating system installed.  On the Windows Server 2012 Standard edition installation, the installation routine is unable to detect readers when it comes to choosing the installation location.  I can 'find the pilots', but on the insertion of the Dell supplied DVD, it does not find everything.  I changed different settings, rebooted and tried several times without success.  Entering the system at boot configuration screens, I can clearly see my 2 x 931GB disks and the virtual drives installed on them (I even removed the implementation of RAID and the virtual drives at some point to see if that was the problem).  Any help appreciated.  Regards, Barry

    Hello Barry

    You should have received a disc entitled management of system and Documentation Tools. If you start on this DVD, it takes an option to install an operating system. Follow the on-screen instructions and it should load the required drivers. If this does not work then let me know what RAID controller you have.

    Thank you

  • Dell Inspiron 3520 - hard drive failure - how to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive

    I bought Dell Inspiron 3520. My hard drive has stopped working completely. It was stated as dead hard drive by diagonstic center.

    I have now bought a new hard drive but have lost data and windows 8 preload on the original hard drive. Dell did not provide any recovery disk for Windows 8 pre-loaded on portable hard drive. How can I then install windows 8 / 10 on my new hard drive?

    The .iso image file official 10565 has only:

    • Overview of the House of insiders
    • Overview of the Insider Pro

    Unfortunately, there are 5 editions of Windows 10 and so 3 are missing. If your key is not automatically entered and accepted, it's probably a simple language edition or edition N.

    When Microsoft release 10586 - TH2 - 1511 Version they will probably have an .iso that contains all 5 editions in 1 .iso or alternatively 5 .isos distinct (I hope as the first case that it will make Windows installation much easier).

  • Install Windows 7 on the new Latitude E7470

    Hi all

    I'm struggling with this one. I have a new Latitude E7470. I installed our internal image of Windows 7 (we use Acronis Snap Deploy) and it installed fine on the network, but the installed W7 does not recognize the USB hubs or ports (keyboard and mouse still work) and does not know the new Intel I219-LM or new 8260 Intel wifi NIC since there is no internal CD I have no way to get drivers into the system in order to start the comm! Our image works on most new Dell systems, but this E7470 is apparently too new. How can I do this thing even a USB or SD card? All I have to do is get a driver for the CARD, so I can take care of the rest.

    The other thing I've tried is to install W7 from scratch. I have a Dell install W7 SP1 64 bit on a brand USB drive. I can't install Windows 7 from this USB because it is not aware of the necessary drivers for the SSD m2. I'm assuming that even if I had W7 to install from this disc, I would always much luck with USB drivers or the card NETWORK on it...

    So, what should I do now? We're still a shop W7 so I need to find a new way to get W7 on this machine.

    The way I see it, I have two options. That I could take an old computer, load our image on it, drop installers for new NIC driver on it or teach them with pnp and create a new image from push to this laptop, install the new NETWORK adapter drivers and rebuild our image. Or I could build a whole new system off the dell OEM version supplied with the downgrade E7470 and W7. Yes, I did a backup of the system OE until I wiped it off.

    I was wondering if anyone has run across this before and he has ideas about how to do a system more about USB chipsets when there is apparently no way to load external files. Once I tell myself what I can do our new image so it will be towards the rear-chipset to the current, but it's getting the newer chipsets recognized that I'm having a problem with.

    Thanks in advance for any ideas!

    Well, I found this one. Not proceed with USB, but I managed to connect a SATA external cd-rom drive to a docking station that recognizes the computer! Then on another machine, I burned the installer of NETWORK card on a CD, and this one is back in business.

    I was surprised, he did not "legacy USB" mode in the BIOS as I have seen in other portable USB 3.

    If you have a docking station Latitude, maybe you'll be lucky enough to find an external SATA drive. Mine a number of Reference Dell 'K01B '. As far as I can tell it is out of production, but they can still be found on ebay and amazon. In any case, it worked for me. Good luck!

    Dell, consider adding a USB mode inherited to the BIOS on this system. Thank you!
