I can't reload Windows XP because the disk is an oler (SP1a) version. Any tips?
My laptop is good in a few years so the disc is SP1a (Windows XP Home). When I tried to reload that I could not because the disc was an older version that is installed on my laptop. Probably because he had over time upgraded to SP3. I looked at Microsoft to see if I can download Windows XP with SP3, but as far as I can tell I can only download SP3 itself which leaves me with the problem of how can I load my SP1a disc in the first place. Advice most welcome. Thank you.

Looks like you have the recovery disk or you perform a repair installation. If you re-install Windows with a disk that contains a sp that is older than the currently installed sp error you receive is the same as you describe. If the disc you have is not a recovery disk, you can use a process called "slipstreaming" to add sp3 to disk. Moreover, if the Windows disk does not have a recovery disk, you should get the option to delete all existing partitions. This option is presented once the installation looking for older versions of Windows that are currently installed. Then you should see a screen like this. The image below shows only a single partition. There may be more. In any case, you simply read the instructions on the screen to remove existing partitions. This translates into a "clean install". Let me know if you see a screen similar to the one below and I will guide you through the process of slipstreaming mentioned previously.
Edit: Just so you know, that the creators of the disc sp1a is because the full version of sp1 is not required to upgrade to sp2 or sp3. The creators of disc apparently had inside knowledge a new sp was about to be released. Therefore, the sp light version was added.

Hello SNQQPYSALS,
You have a few choices:
1. contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery DVDs.
They do it for a small fee.
2 borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend, etc. (NOT a recovery DVDs) Microsoft DVD will contain all versions of Vista.
This is your product key that determines which version is installed.
Just make sure you take the correct 32-bit or 64-bit DVD in Vista 'bit' come on 2 different DVDs.
3. IF your hard drive is still working, make a game of the recovery before it completely Partition recovery DVDs fails.
The manufacturer will tell you how.

can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system
can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system
Depends on if you can get the drivers for your Windows 2000-compatible hardware; you need to verify that hardware manufacturers laicists site to check the drivers. Most of the hardware manufacturers are not even the creation of drivers for Windows XP that is newer than Windows 2000.

Packed HARD drive
If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected? He still believes that I am still on the old HDD?If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected? He still believes that I am still on the old HDD?
Yes.
Not at all.
N °
If you have Windows 7 with an OEM license agreement (it came pre-installed on the computer is the most likely scenario for this, but you can buy OEM copies so) or you have a license to retail (upgrade or full version) - the way your question is worded is very specific - you * can * install Windows 7 costs/clean on this same system as much as you wish. A new hard drive won't stop you activation - well that at some point, you need to activate by phone, as opposed to over the Internet.
Now - if the motherboard is replaced and it's licensed OEM and replacement was not that of the OEM that probably set up your computer... Then you have a problem.
Unless you happen to have a license of Windows 7 retail sales, so it is not related to the computer (motherboard).

I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.
original title: strange NAS problem
Hi everyone I can't seem to fix this strange problem.
I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.
I am running windows 7 Professional 32-bit on my PC, and until about a week ago she accessed from my PC very well.The location could not be reached and have not been able to run since said today that I went to update it and the drive mapped. I'm at my wits end.
Here is some info.
I can access to other computers and devices on my network.
I can access the internet.
I have a windows XP PC in the House who can always connect to my fine NAS drive (even if it's not mine).
I PING the NAS drive.
The NAS drive will do the same if connected via cable or by wireless.UPDATE: after the implementation of a shared folder on a Windows XP computer on the same network I am also unable to acsess the part of my PC. So I can assume that I can't browse all share folders or NAS drives on my local network.
Help, please.
Thanks for the help, but I fixed my problem
Here's what I did in case anyone wants to know.
I went into Device Manager and went to network adapters.
I then expanded this section and under view changed to display hidden items.
Several hundred elements appears (for most 6to4 adapters) and I deleted all the.
Then click scan for new hardware.
And... everything works again! YAY!
