Install Windows XP pro twice?

I bought a new PC and am now using the old, although I would like to install the CD Windows XP Pro I have at home with product keys and everything, is this possible? I read different stories about the mother card an onw only version, but I also read that it is possible with XP Pro to install on several systems.

So: I have the original CD of XP Pro, I will not use the systems at the same time (probably as he works to get rid of the old), and have both original product key. Can I just install it on the second PC?

I'm sorry, but which is not allowed.  You can only use your XP Pro CD to install it on a computer.

If you have a commercial version (you bought XP in a store) and not a version OEM (that came pre-installed on your computer), you can uninstall Windows XP from the old computer and install it on the new computer.

    Hello:

    There is a very good reason that XP does not install.

    Intel did not provide any sata ahci drivers for the chipset that has your laptop.

    That's why you got the BSOD.  XP cannot find the hard drive.

    The latest processors from Intel-based notebook chipsets which had support for XP have laptops with the 7 Series chipsets.

    Not to mention the fact that you wouldn't find any graphic or wireless drivers for XP even if you can get it (that you can't) install.

  • Installation of drive Media Express before you install Windows XP - Pro?

    What the Express Media Player? I have a recovery for the Express Media Player CD. What do I need to run the Express Media Player Recovery before you install Windows XP Pro?

  • Cannot install Windows 10 Pro bootcamp support software

    I have recently installed Windows 10 Pro on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2015, retina), OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21). After Windows restarted, bootcamp has started to install drivers from support and hung on the Realtek driver. Let him all night but he still has not made progress, so I closed the installation program. Now I can't find how to restart, or to download the drivers and install them manually. I had to hold the option key when you restart back into OS X. According to the oldest documents, I tried rerunning the bootcamp assistant to download USB drivers, but this version gives me the option to restore my drive to its original state. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you.

    I couldn't find a place to download the drivers for bootcamp support and discovered in training camp 6, the drivers are downloaded on a separate partition on the SSD (instead of USB drive). So I wiped the installation of windows and repartee with the intention to copy the downloaded software (which I did). Yet once bootcamp hooked when installing the Realtek driver and did some googling. I found this post that solved my problem. https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/6567790?TSTART=0

    Installed Windows 7 Pro on my desktop HP - 110 - a04.   Windows 7 drivers help?

    Hello

    I couldn't take it any longer using Windows 8.   I installed 7 Pro 64 on this machine, only to find HP doesn't provide drivers for 7 for this particular model.

    The useful link below got my work to adapt (LAN) network.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-operating-systems-software-recovery/HP-110-017C-downgrade-to-Wi...

    Currently, I am missing the drivers below.

    Network controller (possibly the wifi adapter)

    SM Bus controller

    (USB) Universal Serial Bus controllers

    Any help on this problem is highly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello:

    Please see if these drivers work:

    I need to make a simple set of clicks in order for me identify the model of wireless card which needs the driver.

    Since there is no driver installed wireless, need a labeled device network controller in Device Manager under the other devices category.  The network controller device will be somewhat ! brand next to him.

    Thus, to find the network controller device, click on that and then click on the Details tab.

    Now, you see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the Description of the unit.

    On this list and select the second element (Hardware ID).

  • 17 - e049wm will not install Windows 8 Pro

    So I got this machine of killer, upgraded to a new SSD and tried to install windows 8 PRO. Windows loaded fine, but it only installed Windows 8 regularly.

    Now here's the base line. Ive tried to install 5 different times, all with the same result.

    1: install boot disk

    2nd: post installation upgrade

    3rd: enabled Legacy support in the BIOS and I tried the new facility

    4th:upgrade post install with active legacy

    5th: disabled Legacy and set up fees.

    Another weird, that I should mention is the fact that he never ask me in setting up my license key. As soon as I check my activation it says that windows is activated, the product ID that ends in AAOEM.

    If this machine, wise, the bios is processing my drive of retail as an OEM disc and pre activating Windows 8 PRO, yet do not allow me to install the professional edition. I tried 2 Windows 8 PRO 64 bit retail of different disks without success.

    Even so much as ive tried the link "Get more features with a new edition of windows" and provided BOTH of my keys not activated without success, since it is reg 8 Win which installs

    IM advanced technology so feel free to talk tech to me. If it is not able to do I wouild like HP to provide me with the Windows 8 PRO for my model, just the OS disk without indigestion.

    Hello

    My suggestion: use Windows 8 Pro upgrade DVD otherwise you must call HP to erase the firmware as shown in the following link:

  • Windows Update crashed my newly installed Windows 7 Pro on Lenovo T60p.

    The machine is a Lenovo T60p with the latest version of the BIOS. Recently I installed Windows 7 Pro. Works well until I have install all updates from Windows Update. System suddenly stops. When it turns on. It blue screens. When I try to turn it on again, he would recommend a repair, then it blue screens. I boot from the original installation CD, blue computer screens. W?

    I replaced XP with Windows 7 Pro.

    I got it somehow to run again by turning off the number of items (e.g., Bluetooth, card NETWORK, etc) in the BIOS Setup. After I completed the update of Windows, I'll re - activate the items one by one.

    I appreciate the prompt response.

  • After installing windows XP Pro my computer does not start correctly

    After you have installed Windows XP Pro on my HP Pavilion (updated to XP home), my computer will not end the restart process.  I have repeatedly in a loop once the blue screen with the HP logo.  When this has happened before after installing a pack of updates for XP Home, we just started in safe mode and then had it will restart at an earlier time, thus eliminating the updates.  However, now when I try to start in safe mode, I get an error message that says: "Windows Setup cannot start in safe mode" and I leave safe mode.  We hoped that by installing Windows XP Pro, this problem should go away.  Can anyone help?  I have read several other entries in the forum for similar problems, but they all have to do with updates.  This is the first time I was not able to use safe mode, so now I'm stuck.  I hope that I can avoid having to perform a full system recovery, since it is a long involved process and having once before, I always felt the same restart problems after installing updates.

    PA bear,

    Thank you for help... After reading several posts in the forum, one of them reminded people to check with the manufacturer of the computer so that possible solutions... and this is the solution here, I wish I thought of him earlier... I did a system recovery to remove the Windows HP Pro and return to the original version of the default value.  Then I went to the HP site and downloaded the patch according to their directions.  Problems fixed! :-)

    Any PERSON HAVING HARD REBOOT YOUR HP PAVILION (with an AMD processor) after you install Windows XP service pack 2 or 3 updates:

    HP has a patch that solved all my problems.  Clearly, service packs contain information for Intel processors that is in conflict with AMD processors in many HP Pavilion desktop computers.  You can go to their customer service solutions website and download the patch.  Since I did it, I had no other problems. I wish just that I had discovered the solution until I had to do a full system recovery.

    If your computer hangs on reboot 'loop', see if this info. HP will help you:

    The computer restarts after a Stop error message display 0x0000007E (after update with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP)

    If you have had problems with XP updates, including service pack 2 or 3, try this page:

    You probably reinstalled incorrectly. You do it from Windows? It's the wrong way to do it.

    To do this properly, do not start Windows, but boot from the XP CD and follow the prompts for a clean reinstall. It will begin by formatting the drive, it is not possible to have two facilities here.

    And of course, save on external data that you want to keep before you do.
