I need Microsoft XP SP.1 for my new hard drive

Grandson PC crashed into the hard drive with it. I couldn't make it work. Bought the new hard drive and reinstalled the original Windows XP, but it did not upgrade to Service Pack 1 with it. I can't find it on the web site of MS and could not get the site where he is supped to reside to open and allow me to download it. Can someone help me find SP-1 IF I REALLY NEED to get to SP - 3 and the final upgrades?

To install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed.

You can download SP1a, SP2, and SP3 from the links below:

  • Recover the Original of Windows 8 for the new HARD drive

    Hello..

    Drive HARD original of my Dell laptop inspiron 15R 5521 has been crushed. She had previously installed Windows 8.

    And, I had upgraded to windows 10 recently.

    Please guide me to reinstall windows 8 or 10 for the new HARD drive via online, coz' I don't have any support recovery (DVD or USB).

    And further,

    1.) is it possible to reinstall windows for one SSD?

    If your system already has Windows installed and activated 10 follow my instructions here to directly download and reinstall clean Windows 10:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-10-OEM-and-retail-ISO/

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-Windows-10/Windows-10-clean-reinstallation-via-bootable-USB-from-ISO/

    Looks like you're in this scenario.

    Note Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 editions are specific. If your system came with Windows 8.1/10 unilingual homepage, Windows 8.1/10 will not be activated.

    Unfortunately there is no clear marker for end users to determine the edition so my advise is to try first to try Windows 10 Home, if she does not activate Windows 10 unilingual homepage.

    Get a SSD for optimal performance.

    Dell have updated drivers for Windows 10 pilots (WT64a) system:

    http://downloads.Dell.com/published/pages/Inspiron-15R-5521.html

    See installing the driver recommended order:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/2015/09/27/driver-installation-order-Windows-10/

    If Windows 10 was not enabled you must reinstall Windows 8.1 and then upgrade. Follow my instructions here:

  • DV6 - 6167cl: need to win 7 recovery disc for a new hard drive

    I do not know what operating system Windows 7, my laptop had, but I need to put Windows 7 on my laptop HP dv6 - 6167cl recovery disks.

    My original question was that my laptop could not restore or anything on its own.  After calling HP support and carry out a guided diagnostic test, it was determined that my hard drive was bad.  I bought a new hard drive and replaced it, but need to get Windows 7 return on that.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there is no option to download the recovery media - discs, or a usb flash drive must be ordered from HP by following the link in my previous post.

    For the version, the possibility of order recovery media is only listed under Windows 7 64 bit and that's what I would have expected your laptop to ship with - it is your machine comes with 6 GB of Ram and would require a 64-bit OS to be able to access what anyone more than 4 GB

    Another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the entire key 25 character product activation on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • I need to reinstall Windows Vista on a NEW hard drive

    I need to upgrade my hard drive a 500 GB to a 2 TB hard drive. I want to keep the old hard drive as what without having to format. I'll put it on in the case where I never need to access the data that's out there. I have the key Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit disk and license. Is it possible to just install it on the hard drive again without any license validation error or the old hard drive must be formatted to remove windows. Desktop PC. Thank you

    Hello

    Legally, you must save your data > wipe this most hard > re - install your data, and then use this drive hard as you would normally use an external hard drive. namely for data only.

    One license is for a single installation.

    _______________________________________

    You can have activation issues with the new hard drive and reinstall anyway.

    If you do, then use phone Activation > do not follow Auto prompt > but brace yourself for a real person explain to the.

  • Hard disk failed to keep windows 7 for the new hard drive or SSD

    Hi, windows told me recently there is a problem with my hard drive and that I would back up my data to an external storage device, in case it fails, but don't want to backup my files because they aren't important. When I tried to access file Explorer the next day I got the warning my computer froze. I'm not him have not restarted the laptop since then in fear that it could make it more worn, since I may still need it.

    I try to order a new hard drive or SSD and won't buy windows 10 because it's expensive. Instead, I want to keep my current operating system, which is windows 7 Home premium, which is preinstalled on my laptop.  I have no recovery disks and I didn't do all the backups at all, but here is a windows 7 product key stuck on the back of the laptop.

    I was wondering if I can use the product key to install windows 7 on the new HDD/SSD and if yes, how, I would go to this topic. Also, if I can't do the wrench is it another way (because I may be able to use it yet), because I don't want to have to buy any other OS.

    Specifications:

    Laptop: TOSHIBA Satellite A660

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

    (Let me know if you need more details)

    Thanks for any help.

    If you are still able to boot from the Windows 7 Desktop on the current hard drive, try to create a set of recovery disks. See the instructions in the following article:

    https://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/Toshiba-Recovery-disk/#Create_disc_for_Windows_7

    After you create the defined recovery disc, close, install the new SSD, then use the updated recovery disk to reinstall Windows 7 on new disk SSD.

    You will need 4 blank DVDs.

  • How can I reinstall the window 8 for a new hard drive?

    I just got a new hard drive for Dell to replace the old, which is at the top and about to fail (according to the Dell diagnostic tool).

    Reference Dell included a record called 'Restoration of Windows 8 for Windows 8 64-bit products Support'

    I'm a layman, but can certainly replace the hard drive. What exactly should I do it (step by step, if possible) when I turn on the computer for the first time with the new hard drive in place. The disc should already be in the optical drive?

    Thanks, Alex

    There is not much to be done in any real particular order really.  It won't hurt to have the disc in the drive the first time that you start with the new player connected, but even if are not the worst case, you get a "no OS on this disc, press ctrl + Alt + Del to restart".

    When start you, you may need to press a special sequence on the keyboard like F2 or DEL or Escape to boot from the CD. He can say so on the screen, or it can just try first default (likely) CD.

    In any case, once you start from the CD, it is a wizard from there. Simply press 'next' and 'agree' and all that jazz to what Windows 8 is installed back. Then search for updates & restart for the next 4 days :)

  • Transfer Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for a new hard drive

    I had to change hard drives and now need to reinstall all my programs application.  I was able to download Acrobat 9 Pro, but my licensed copy has now made within 30 days of the trial, and I don't know how to get a permanent license version.  When I call the software, I get a screen of the software configuration that gives me two options.  The first option, which is checked by default, is: "I have a serial number for this product." and a serial number is shown below.  It is the same serial number, I was issued when I bought Acrobat 9 Pro.

    So far so good.  Then I click Next, and here is where the trouble begins.  I get a window check the upgrade by the following text:

    You have entered the serial number indicates that your installation is an upgrade from Adobe Acrobat Pro version

    To be eligible for this upgrade, you must already have no product qualifying.

    We have looked into the locations by default of qualification of the products installed on this computer, but none have been found.

    You can check the upgrade eligibility without having to install your previous software by filling in the fields below.

    Select a product you already own

    Enter the serial number for this product


    Acrobat 9 Pro is not listed in the drop-down list of product selection, so I'm not able to get rid of my status of the trial.


    Please help me.  I'm not trying to upgrade.  I'm just trying to download a copy of Acrobat 9 Pro replacement, that I already have a license for, on my new hard drive.

    Thank you.

    The message you are trying to install a version upgrade of the software, which means when you bought it, you purcjhased as an upgrade to an earlier version.  You will need to provide evidence that you meet the eligibility criteria by specifying the earlier version and by submitting its serial number.  If you believe that you purchased the software in full version and not an upgrade, then you should contact Support Adobe directly by chat or phone to arrange things.

  • Copy a project and media for the new hard drive

    Greetings,

    I have a very large project stored on an external hard drive and would like to copy the whole thing, including the original media linked to a new hard drive... because I'm afraid that my old one may cease to operate quickly. How can I go on the copy of my project to a new hard disc as well that all sounds, music and video are related?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello.

    You can create a library of transfer in the user interface and move the top project. (It it will copy as you move it to a new drive)

    If you also move the media, it will break the links between the project and the media (audio and video). When you do that, use the command create a link (on the file menu). If you point to the good volume, it should find the media and offer you the ability to link again.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite A200-1AG - Limitation of size for the new HARD drive?

    Hello

    I want to improve my laptop with a new hard drive. It came with SATA 150 GB and I want to get a 320 GB Western Digital HD. Never changed the disk in a laptop and I don't know if there is no restriction on the voltage, overheating...

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hey U-mass,.

    There is no limit of capacity as on the old IDE interface on the new SATA interface. This means that you can buy this 320 GB HARD disk or another HARD drive. Each 2.5 HARD drive to SATA interface is theoretically possible to use.

    One more interesting thing is RPM HARD drive. There are hard drives with 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM. The latter is a little faster but needs more power and produces more heat. Normally, 5400 RPM is sufficient
