If I reinstall Xp on top of current xp by insertind cd in the drive, it will overwrite?

I can not install SP3 or connect to links in e-mails. I have a cd with XP on it... can I reinstall XP by reinstalling?

Hi kdsail,

·         What happens when you try to install Service Pack 3?

·         Which email client you are using?

·         What happens when you try to open links in emails?

You can perform the upgrade in place of Windows XP. This operation reinstalls Windows XP to the same folder on your computer where it was originally installed.

However, before you perform the upgrade on Windows XP site, back up important data to another location as disc CD/DVD, USB etc.

For more information, see this link.

How to perform an upgrade on the spot (reinstallation) of Windows XP

Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

    Hi everyone :)

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15R, and 2 years since I got it and due to the excessive overuse, its performance has become extremely poor. The registry is riddled with problems, and I think it's time for a reboot.

    I don't really know where the drive is, but I should be able to find it.

    First of all, I have a lot of shows and movies. Somewhere around 1.5 to of them. I also have 120 GB of programs. It's clearly too heavy to download everything at once, so I don't want to lose.

    With the program, can I transfer them to an external hard drive and then put everyone back in the program on my HARD drive wiped files and re - run the .exe file?

    Would you recommend buying an SSD and the replacement of my current HARD drive with it?

    Can I use the disk to reset everything on Windows without losing my files? This will fix the registry problem?

    Thank you

    You cannot actually backup installed programs and bring them back, but you can save the actual installation files (.exe, configuration files) and use them to reinstall the programs. So it's a good idea to save them.

    Would you recommend buying an SSD and the replacement of my current HARD drive with it?

    Certainly if you can afford, its faster, makes your programs and Windows start faster.

    Can I use the disk to reset everything on Windows without losing my files? This will fix the registry problem?

    You can perform a custom installation that move your old installation in the folder Windows.old, where you can retrieve your personal files. I still recommend you back up your files separately but and restore them.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    Reinstalling Windows 7.

    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.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    or

    F8 when starting the unit

  • WiFi disabled in Windows Boot Camp 10, can not reinstall the driver

    Running an end of 2013 the MBP 15 "retina

    I got 10 Windows Boot Camp installed for more than a year without difficulty. But suddenly, my wifi doesn't work in Windows 10. He could see networks and said it was connected, but it has never been an internet connection.

    Assuming that it was the result of an update, I

    1 uninstalled all Windows regular updates that I can

    2. uninstalled the Broadcom driver

    3 downloaded the last Boot Camp Assistant WSS and installed

    But now I can't reinstall a driver for the Broadcom card! I tried to install WSS, but the network card remains in my device without a driver manager. So I tried to install the individual installation files in the folder of Broadcom. Still did not work. I even tried to extract all files Broadcom installation and manual installation of all the drivers. Windows 10 seems to recognize that the "ac" driver is the right, but always tells me that the driver installation failed without giving details.

    What else can I try?

  • Downloaded new itunes now iPod not recognized. Uninstalled and reinstalled. No sign of the driver on the list of devices iPod win 10. Tried the other fixes - what do I do now?

    With the help of Windows 10. Downloaded latest version of iTunes (should have been better). Now iPod Nano not recognized. Tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes without result. Check the list of device driver - no sign of the iPod device driver. Read various tips listed here, but nothing seems to work. How can I get the driver?

    Douglas

    The 'driver' is here.  It is part of the installation of iTunes.  When you connect it, the iPod screen indicates it is connected, by showing 'do not disconnect' or 'Connected' or another indication that there is a data connection with the computer?  If it shows that the battery symbol, there may be another problem that requires no software and 'drivers '.

    If the iPod has a data connection (but he does not appear in iTunes), you can use the procedure to completely uninstall iTunes and associated software components.  Can you only uninstall iTunes.  It's the Apple procedure, listing the components uninstall and uninstall specific order

    Remove and reinstall iTunes and software for Windows 7 and later versions - Apple Support components

    After you have uninstalled all parts of the installation of iTunes, download and reinstall the latest version available

  • Delete/reformat the drive hard partition (s) to activate the operating system reinstall

    I have a HP 2000 2b09wm. He just broke, gives me the error message saying in that I needed a new hard drive. Suppose the old went kaput (even though I bought this pc on eBay not a month or two before). I have a new HD and a Windows 8 reinstall the software from a dealer on eBay. I tried several routes to try to reinstall the OS, resulting in many dead ends *. I asked the dealer to help, but did not get much. The last thing he offered was to remove the partitions in the new HD. I looked at a page eHow, how to remove Partitions on a hard drive. It is said to get a CD which includes fdisk.com. I burned super fdisk (2 MB) of SFbootablecd.iso and fdisk (40 MB) of fd11src.iso. I went into the BIOS to set the boot order. I put the saved first, CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and tried the two CDs. It always starts with just a screen with this:

    Not found boot device
    Please install an operating system on your hard drive
    Hard drive (3F0)
    F2 System Diagnostics
    For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup

    I even tried to put the CD/DVD ROM USB drive first... same results.

    So my questions to you, I guess, is first of all, why the CDs fdisk is not start? I burn the evil fdisk? Second, do you know why my OS couldn't be installed using the software to reinstall? The guy I got it (http://www.ebay.com/itm/181524428825?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) , verified_computer_specialists, has excellent comments, so I guess that the software is legitimate and the computer is actually original with Windows 8.

    Thank you.
