Hello

Thanks for joining us on the Microsoft Community.

According to the description of the problem you are facing problems with reinstalling Windows XP Professional, and you are to be invited to insert the Service Pack 1 drive to complete the installation.

To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

1. did you uninstall Windows XP Service Pack 1 prior to reinstalling Windows XP?

2. what was the installed Service Pack earlier?

You may need to uninstall Windows XP Service Pack 1 first and then perform the reinstallation of Windows XP and to check if the installation goes smoothly.

Please see the following articles for more information about uninstalling Windows XP Service Pack 1:

  • I tried high grade beta and firefox 13 14 and only get the error message, only to return to 10.2 works

    I had used with 12 Firefox problems. and upgraded to 13.0. Error message is

    "Platform error 13.0 version is not compatible with minVersion > 13 message appears." (The same with beta 14)

    Nor, 12, 13 or 14 will work only by removing everything and 10.2 installation allows me to use Firefox. Uninstallation of 12, 13 or 14 and relocation do not work, error is always present and firefox is not running.

    Do a cleaning (re) install and delete the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will also lose your personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I am trying to reinstall windows XP but when I enter my license key (from the label of origin on my computer) it tells me it is invalid

    I need to reinstall windows XP an accident which can be the result of a virus.  I get the blue death creen when I try to start.  I do not have my original windows disks but borrowed one from a friend.  I am trying to reinstall windows XP but when I enter my license key (from the label of origin on my computer) it tells me it is invalid.  If I don't have my original windows CD how can I get resettled windows?

    The borrowed XP CD is not the correct version of your product key. Since you have a label on the computer, or you have an OEM brand computer (Dell, HP, etc.) or on a generic computer built.

    If you have a branded computer, contact the computer mftr. to get the recovery CD. otherwise you would need a XP install CD that was the same brand (Dell, HP). In these cases, the product key will not be registered during the installation process. The alternative is to use the product key on the COA sticker on the computer with a drive manufacturer OEM generic system. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I had to reinstall Windows Xp Pro, the product key will not work.

    I have not changed any hardware or anything like that. I downloaded the updates of msupdates and my computer went the fritz would not do anything. I reinstalled windows xp pro from the restore disc that came with my computer. The product key is not accepted by windows to activate it. I need to know what to do. It's a Dell optiplex 2.8 gig Board and proc 2 gig of ram. Anyway when I bought.

    Hi, I am assuming that you are unable to activate your XP via internet, you can try the phone holder to turn on.

    You will be asked of the remote computer to give the support page for phone numbers.

    You will then receive a new set of numbers to activate your XP.

    If this does not work, you will be directed to a Microsoft employee. Explain your problem and if they are happy with your answer will give you an activation key.

    Or they are corrupt, try to get a new copy and try again.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • Reinstall Windows 7 Pro on new 2 TB HDD freezes on Windows startup screen

    Evelyn,

    (1) I have an idea which may simply not work. Install the software of Western Digital's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics.

    (2) then select / click on the Seagate 2 TB of disk.

    (3) then click on the little icon above the list of player who scored "click to run tests.

    (4) in the popup windows choose the option "write zeros". Click 'Start' and select the fastest two write options who writes zero for beginners / before the command and at the end / last sectors on the disk. It will take about 2 minutes or less. Once the zero finished writing your drive will be in a State of 'Raw' (just as if you removed from the box for the first time).

    (5) open "Disk management", you should see a windows asking you to 'Initialize' the reader. Choose the MBR (Master Boot Record "option.

    Now try to install Windows.

    I am trying to install Windows 8 Pro using an ios burned dvd and I can't spend getting ready files for installation.  It is located at 1% or 2%, and then I get the 0x8007025d error code.  This is getting very frustrating.  Tried to install more than 4 hours.

    I am trying to install Windows 8 Pro using an ios burned dvd and I can't spend getting ready files for installation.  It is located at 1% or 2%, and then I get the 0x8007025d error code.  This is getting very frustrating.  Tried to install more than 4 hours.

    Hello! And welcome to the Microsoft Forums!

    From my experience with several ISOs of Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, and even 10, I can tell you that the 0x8007025d error means that the installation media is corrupted.

    This type of error appears on the official Microsoft Media tool too.

    The issue seems more likely when choosing Windows 8.1 (no N or PRO).

    The issue could be fixed only by downloading the same or a different ISO image again. In addition, it flashes again on the USB port or the burn on DVD another using a speed more SLOW can increase the success rate.

    Also: Don't forget to check the SUM of the ISO downloaded to see if it matches the amount on Microsoft Download Page.

    This ensures that the file has been downloaded without problem and is not corrupted or altered somehow.

    Remember to use only the official Microsoft ISOs to avoid viruses and other security threats.

    A google search of the proposed problem that there is an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.

    Absolutely not. You're misinterpreting things. Activation does not happen when you simply run the installer, although later. This means that what he says - there is another 'install' pending / assets on your system, which means somewhere, there is a process (invisible) always blocking things. Whatever it is, since you have not provided any real technical info, we can not advise specifically. If you are using Windows, you can check your task manager and to terminate any process setup.exe and msiexec.exe more potentially will need to manually fix / remove some registry keys. What beyond this, you will be much more accurate.
