I replaced my hard drive with a larger. How can I install Windows XP in it without the disc?

My computer is old and the hard drive is full, I installed an additional hard drive, now I need to install Windows XP on it and I don't have a disk to do so.  So how can I do?

I have an old computer and an old hard drive which is full.  So I installed an additional hard drive and need to install Windows XP on it.  I don't have a Windows XP disc for Ho w can install it.  The computer came with a disk, I downloaded it on the computer.  I can't find my code to get the download, so I was wondering how I can get the load down with it?

Hello

"The computer came with a disk, I downloaded it on the computer.

You have a retail XP license?

If that is right, or the other of these key research programs use to find your product key.

And if you look on the new Hard Drive manufacturer's Web site, they should provide software to "clone" your operating system currently installed through to the new hard disk.

And here is the other free programs of cloning (PC Backup).

  • Replacing HP Pavilion-e070sl hard drive with an ssd, how to re - install windows 8 64?

    Hello

    I recently buyed a Hp Pavilion-e070sl delivered pre-installed with W 8 64 and I need to know how the name of God how can I reinstall the operating system, since there was no installation dvd disc in the box? Or better (if we exclude the recovery manager and windows recovery disk), if somehow the hard drive does not work and I can't revive the laptop only by replacing one damaged by a new, how do I re - install the OS? And no, I want to order and pay twice.

    Any idea will be useful.

    Thanks in advance.

    You are the very welcome.

    Try to do the recovery with your old hard drive first media and see if it would work.

    If this isn't the case, then I guess you have nothing to lose to see if the English version of the W8 will be install and activate it, but I don't know if you can change the language.

    If you can, great.

  • replacing a hard drive with a large new

    I have a 500 GB external hard drive, which is now complete.  I bought a new drive again to 2 terabytes.  The original drive is defined as the drive 'e' and other things outside of lightroom that recognize as well.  Can I copy all the photos on the new largest disk and rename the e drive?  Lightroom will recognize all images, files, and folders as if nothing happened?

    Or do I need to everything to a new drive in lightroom that will need to be labeled another letter?  I use windows 10 and lightroom 5.  Thanks for any help and thoughts

    Yes! (As long as you keep the same folder hierarchy, do not start move folders or photos in the area around to within the hierarchy)

    Lightroom will recognize all images, files, and folders as if nothing happened?

    Yyes!

    Related issue: external hard disk might work better with a letter at the end of the alphabet, probably Windows to change the letter itself, to stop what can happen if you unplug the drive and then connect again later. If you want to know how to do that, we do know.

  • Re: Tecra A9 - 11M - replace the HARD drive with a larger

    I have a Tecra A9 - 11 M with Windows XP Professional installed. I would like to replace the hard drive with a larger drive and install Windows 7 Professional.

    Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?

    Difficulties to install Windows 7 on this model?

    Hey,.

    > Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
    I assume you mean 500 GB and not 500MB, right? ;)

    Well, the Tecra A9 already supports SATA interface and there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface, so you can install a 500 GB HARD drive or more (750 GB, etc.). Just make sure that it s 2.5 SATA HDD.

    You can choose each brand of HARD drive because each model will not work. You can buy a Toshiba HDD, Western Digital HARD drive or another. No problem ;)

  • Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

    I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

    (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

    (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

    (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

    Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

    the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

    also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

    However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

    for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

    Good luck

    hope this helps to & help

    Happy holidays!

  • Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Nowsome keys on the keyboard no longer works.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Replace old hard drive with an SSD.  Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working.  Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work?  Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?

    Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

    No, at least not by us.

    Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
    laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

    There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
    and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
    sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

    But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
    are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

    For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
    lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the
    external media player.

    You will need to borrow an installation disc to a former operating system Microsoft - Windows 95, 98 or me. There is no way around it. If person don't you know is an older drive, you can borrow for a few minutes, you will need, you will need to either buy a copy full XP or take the unit to a local computer professional to do the XP installation for you.

    Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista's Movie Maker version.

    To test whether your computer can run Vista's Movie Maker version:

    1. on the start menu, click all programs.
