• IBM Thinkpad with XP Home Edition preinstalled but no XP installation CD. Will need to re - install XP from CD after planned hard drive upgrade. How can I create a CD to install XP from the installed system?

  Hi, I bought an IBM Thinkpad with XP Home Edition pre-loaded in 2005 (the XP key sticker is on the bottom of the laptop), but did not receive an XP installation CD - I understand, it is a common practice. I want to improve the internal hard drive (for a bigger) then you will need to re - install XP from CD. They tell me that there is a way to create the XP (on the CD burner) installation installation CD but have no idea how. I can't imagine I'm the only person to have had this problem. Can you tell me where I can find the instructions how to do this please? Any help is welcome. Thank you very much.

  Hi Rob,

  What is happening in Mode safe? If you can install it in Mode safe mode then delete all entries in startup via msconfig as this could conflict with the program.

  If this does not work, saving all the data of your administrator account, you can delete the account and recreate it.

  Kind regards

  I have re-formatted a computer for my friend, boiught a genuine copy of windows xp pro, but when I have bin and enter the serial number on the last block of numbers it will not enter the letter "N", so I can't validate the copy I have... why?

  I tested the keyboard and the letter "N" works perfectly

  N is a character not allowed in the Windows product key - check the label again.

  Your problem is that for some reason, the system is unable to properly match material with the SLIC table in BIOS, that is required to be able to triggered the key OEM_SLP with which the computer came installed.

  The normal solution is to change the key for that on your COA sticker - but you say that you are unable to read the key here.

  In such circumstances, are the only things you can do

  (1) Re-create the license store - in which case it's a minor software problem causing the is

  2) try to update BIOS to the latest available Vista compatible one, since the manufacturer's website

  (3) contact the manufacturer and see if they can provide assistance to correct the SLIC table

  (4) a reformat and reinstall using the manufacturer's recovery media

  (5) purchase of a new license for Windows (or a new computer)

  It * may * be an alternative solution, if you are patient and persistent.

  Attempt to activate by phone and speak to an operator - they will tell you that your current key is locked (they then seek confirmation of your product key). Explain your problem, you must change the key of your sticker, but the thumbnail is unreadable (they could please provide a replacement key?). If all goes well, they will request documentary proof of the sticker, in the form of an e-mail with a picture of the affected tile - and you can proceed from there.

  It sometimes takes two or three calls before you get an operator who knows and uses this procedure, but I know that it is possible and happens.

• The IBM Thinkpad T-40 of work with this power adapter: 83: 6339

  One of my friends had an old AC adapter his garage to a true old IBM Thinkpad laying around and gave it to me. The reference number of the AC adapter is 83 H 6339. My wife bought an IBM Thinkpad T-40 who only has the docking station with power but does not connect directly to the laptop. I wanted to know if this old AC adapter would be compatible with the T-40 (2373-72U). I don't want the hook upwards and the chance to spoil anything either, but I can find no record on what types of this adapter is supposed to work with laptops.

  hankinsd, welcome to the forum,

  I would not use it, it's an adapter sector 56W and too 'low '. The T4 series requires an adapter of sector 72W.

  Hope this helps

• Accidentally, I bought the Windows 7 Professional upgrade and does not have an earlier version of Windows

  Hello

  Recently I bought Windows 7 Professional upgrade because of the student discount, I had about it, not realizing it was only an upgrade. I do not have an earlier version of windows, and so now I have a copy of UN activated Windows. My question is can I buy an old vista or XP and just plug this code? It is said the upgrade works from previous versions and because I already bought the upgrade I look forward to having to buy a brand to the copy of windows 7, if I buy xp or vista.
  Thanks for your help.
  -Bill

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  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 upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Note: You will not have to activate the previous license, just install.

  Option 2:

  Call the Activation Center and explain your situation.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.
