If it's an OEM license, you should contact that anyone who sold you the PC.
And a few other general information here is because you forgot to tell us something about what kind of computer you have:
Most laptops and many OEM desktop computers (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.
These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

I want to remove pre-installed windows 8 and want to install windows xp in hp 6 but idont know how to install
Hello
First thing to do is to go to the HP website and see if the XP drivers are available for your model of HP.
http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
If there is no XP drivers, XP does not work for you.
If the XP drivers are available, looking for a place to buy XP, which is a terrible thing to do as Microsoft did not sell XP for many years.
You run the very serious risk of buying pirated XP software from anywhere on the Net.
Stay with your preinstalled Windows 8.
See you soon.

I do not have my records (which were for Windows 2000) more to reinstall. The version of Windows XP was installed by a technician that I hired (a student who has moved on somewhere)
Then you will need to speak with the technician who installed Win XP on your OS about your "pirated" version
Where are your original discs? You can reinstall an authentic version of Win XP using them.
Your message is in the forum of the people who use the antimalware MSE program.
You might find a better solution than my suggestion if you publish in or Windows XP http://answers.microsoft.com/en-usto search forum.
Good luck...

I have a PC with Vista, I tried to install Windows XP, it was rejected, and now I don't have an operating system
Bruce,
Do you remember if you wanted to do a new installation or had you partitioned your hard drive to install it in a dual boot with Vista?
If you do not have a BONE now it sounds lik evous was the first choice that clears your current installation.
You need to reinstall Vista from your original media to recover your system if this is the case.
Unfortunately, if this is what you choose, you have lost all the data that was on your hard drive as well.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad new possible.

I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.
Where should I go from hereHello
You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.
Read about Defender:
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
"Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.
Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.
Once modified, click apply and OK.
Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"
.
If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

Disaster of Windows Mail. Where are my emails please?
How can I access my emails after the death of my PC. I had a pc using Windows Vista and I served my Windows Mail e-mail program. The computer has stopped working so I removed the hard drive, put it in a case and now use it as an external drive. My new computer, I took possession of the Documents and Settings folder, and I'm looking for emails. I followed the path, Documents and Settings // AppData / Local / Microsoft / Windows Mail but there are 2 folders, backup & stationery as well as a few small files. Where I could hide my email? Please, I beg you. There should be a directory called local folders under the message store and eml files organized into folders named after the directories under this directory are. They may be hidden files, so make sure that you have enabled the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View. You can also try to search *.eml, because messages are stored as eml files. See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for background.
