I have a Dell Dimension 5150 XP desktop withWin dysfunction, is taken from the hd?

I can boot Windows XP sp3, but some features are missing or malfunctionig. For example, I get a start HP Smart Web Printing screen, when I open the control panel. I deleted the program, but I still receive the message before.

I have the os disc that came with the device. When I insert this disc an apppears screen indicating that I can reinstall os from Windows XP. When I try this, I find that it will not accept the Product Code (obtained in the computer box top).

I tried to set the cd-rom as boot drive in BIOS, but participation was apparently not accepted, since Win XP started normally.

I have the Win XP installation diskettes (6) downloaded from Microsoft. The floppy drive, who had previously worked, failed; I got "error e/s data. Please insert another disk. " I connected an external floppy drive, which has been known to function normally. It has been recognized as a drive in "Computer" window, but not in the BIOS, so can not put it as boot drive (maybe it is normal for an external hard drive?).

Finally, since there seems to be problems with the BIOS, maybe I'm wasting my time and must buy a new HD. I can't think what else to do.

Your comments would be appreciated.

My problem, since the beginning, since my CD drive does not read the CD. So I couldn't reinstall Win XP from the os obtained with the computer disc.

If that's REALLY your problem (and I'm still not sure that it is), then there is no hotfix. Your only course of action is to replace the old CD-ROM shot with a newly purchased player.
An alternative is to buy a good used PC. You can get one with XP for $100. Or for a couple hundred more, you can get a PC brand new with Windows 7, which might not be a bad idea since the security fixes for Windows XP will be stop in April 2014.

  • Dell Dimension 5150 - WinXP error 0 x 00000024 STOP

    I wrote this email to someone, however, received no response, so am using Microsoft Answers.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thanyou,

    Anil

    Dear Dan,

    First of all, my name is Anil and I found your E-mail address when searching about my problem on some Forums.

    Last night, my computer was working fine. Really flawless. I use a Dell Dimension 5150 running Windows XP.

    However, when booting this morning, I received the error STOP 0 x 00000024 and with something to do with CHDSK / F.

    I couldn't do anything, like when I tried to boot my PC in safe, I got the same blue screen with the error.

    Therefore, after reseaching, I found two possible solutions.

    The first is to use the WinXP disc, however, my PC came with Windows XP already installed, I therefore had no disc.

    The second, I found the Forum even where I found your Email address, is to use a program called Bart PE Builder.

    I used Labtop this and this to burn the program to a CD.

    I only have a cause for concern, and it is, I have about 30GBs of value of music on my computer that I would be afraid to lose.

    My question is, if I run PE Builder from Bart, my music will be lost?

    And that goes for other files and documents on my computer (anything illegal, don't worry; (P)

    Thank you

    Anil

    Looks like Bart's not see anything except himself and that might be because it takes the controller drivers that are added. The easy way to find out is to add drivers to the image of your Bart controller and then start with this new CD. IIRC, he must put the drivers in a certain directory. Site Web de Bart, user forums or Google will tell you how. I don't use often Bart (preferring Knoppix) so know not glib. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Check maual of the user of the ignition key (e.g. F11) you need to press on when you first ask the computer to access the XP restore partition. If you have a "restore CD" the game that the BIOS so that the CD-ROM drive is the 1st device to start, followed by the hard drive. then power on the computer and "press any key" when prompted to start the installation.

  • Dell Dimension 5150 do not start LED logo on 123 + progress bar is stuck at 5% no beeps

    My old Dell Dimension 5150 has sometimes suffered from crashes during startup for quite awhile, but it now appears permanent.

    Hey guys! My Dell Dimension 5150/510 running Windows XP Home Edition SP3 won't boot for some reason any. Whenever I press the power button the power button just blinks and won't turn on. Please help as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you! If you can do it in a video or BIC please :(

    md5diablo

    All that, suggest a power failure, first replace the PSU with a unit of work that is 'known', to see if that makes a difference.

    5150/E510 systems don't use exclusive Dell power supplies, you can install a generic ATX power supplies with either a power connector 24 pin or 20 + 4 pin main motherboard.

    Like the 5150/E510 has a rear panel open, a diet with or without the on/off switch can be used and can be purchased in most local computer stores or online.

    Need a power supply with two SATA power connectors.

    original title: Netbook Windows 7 problem

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    Borrow a 32 bit Genuine Windows 7 friends DVD disc if you know someone who has one.

    Make an image of the DVD, you can use a program like ISO Recorder to do.
