is it possible to download an ISO of XP Home SP2 or SP3 (if she was never RTM)

I'm trying to reinstall the new copy of XP Home on a laptop that needs a new HARD drive.  I am able to get a XP Home ISO by microsoft download, so I can do this repair?

Although it is possible to download an .iso of an XP installation CD image, it is not recommended. If you ask here, you're probably not sophisticated enough to tell the difference between something legitimate and something else riddled of malware. Too bad because you probably have the license, but that's just the way it is.

Your best bet is to contact the manufacturer of the laptop. I hope they still offer limited support and you can get filtering alternative for a small fee. Otherwise, you can borrow the CD of installation exact same of someone else (if you know someone who has the same brand and model laptop).

Finally, you can have success with http://www.restoredisks.com/ .

  • Is it possible to download the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator?

    Hello everyone,

    I have a question on the Recovery Media Creator. Is it possible to download it from toshiba.com? Because I can't find it here... I deleted from my computer cell, just thought that I should not use anyway. But now I have to install a second time to remove stuff from my laptop.

    Hope someone can help me here,

    Robin.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, this is not possible because the Toshiba recovery disc creator is part of the image of Toshiba and it can be used only in connection with the files of images available from Toshiba.

    If you would like to format the HARD drive and install the Win 7 OS own then Toshiba image files would be unavailable and the Toshiba Recovery disk Creator will not work.

  • With XP, with is three different user accounts, possible to download Firefox 4 for a single user and keep Firefox 3 on the other, for a period of learning?

    We are running XP and have 3 different user desktop accounts. We are very excited about the features of Firefox4, but one user a lot less comfortable with changes and does not want to lose the comfort of navigation in 3 until it had a chance to get used to using 4. May take a while...

    Is it possible to download Firefox 4, perhaps to a new location. Or a new user account. And use that as a "teaching tool" while maintaining the 3?

    Or can we move on 4, re-download a version 3 and import previous bookmarks for this user to new 3 download, until we him uncomfortable.

    The answer is probably not. But if there is a creative way to do that, without another available computer, that would be great. Otherwise, improve us and deal with the frustration and whining here... 4 is too good to pass up.

    Ideas?
    Linda

    When you install Firefox 4, choose the custom installation option and change the install location of Firefox. You'll then 2 versions of Firefox are installed.

    As you have different user accounts, each user will have its own Firefox profile (location where are stored bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You should not pass between the different versions of Firefox with the same user profile. For those who want to use Firefox 4, make sure that you use a Firefox shortcut that opens Firefox 4, even for one who wants to stay with Firefox 3, just keep their shortened origin of Firefox and it should open the old version.
