Laptop without CD of Windows XP Home edition?
Hello
Sorry I'm a bit of a computer laptop n00b!
I just bought my first laptop (a Toshiba) and I was going through the accessories when I noticed that there is no cd of Windows XP included. Is this normal?
Hello Asif
Laptops usually come with recovery media (Recovery DVD). This CD/DVD contains the operating system, all the drivers needed and application software different.
With the help of upgraders CD/DVD, you can quickly and completely restore your system after heavy data loss, caused by a fatal judgment of the operating system, hardware failure or virus attack.
Recovery image installation procedure allows the installation of system and easy to user. Unfortunately, it is not possible to restore only certain files from a disk image.
Each recovery image is designed for a specific model laptop and it cannot be used for other series of laptop.
Good bye

Hi, my first question here! I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite with Windows XP Home Edition. I have a Linksys wireless router.

is windows xp home edition compatible with gateway mseries laptop?
I want to convert my computer laptop gateway mseries from windows vista to windows xp home edition. the specs for the laptop are the following: manufacturer: gateway, model: m7315u processor: intel dual core 2 GHz ram p.: 1.5 GB I have windows xp home edition activation code, but he lost the installation cd and I'm tired of every time that I try to do something that requires administrative permission (which my user account has) the computer crashes. I know that windows xp home edition is being abandoned, but she always work better for me than windows vista (in my opinion)
Hi Xircal,
The computer manufacturer often have the same drivers for a series model they release
But the OP would be wasting their time on installing XP, so bridge never provided XP drivers for this particular model. This is one of the reasons why I suggested that the OP contact Gateqway Support.
The point of the OP's question is that they want to replace Vista by XP
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Here's the line of the OP: "I want to convert my computer laptop gateway mseries from windows vista to windows xp home edition.
In the link you give, it shows being available for model 7300 XP drivers.
: http://support.gateway.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=3014
As the OP says that Vista is installed, why this model 7300 only Vista drivers available for it by default, if it is the same material as the M-7315u?
See you soon.

I bought my new laptop in 2006, yes I know this is old, and never noticed that on the bottom was a trial for windows xp home edition key. What is this for? How to use it?
That's when you need to reinstall Windows and when the manufacturer installs Windows XP on your system.

Salvation; I instaled a new Windows XP Home edition on my computer hp laptop, but it's not conect to the internet through my wireless card.how can solve this?
Did you use the recovery process HP plant or install using a different operating system disk? If the latter, you need to install the drivers for all your hardware, including drivers for wireless network cards. You will get only the pilot specific support for your laptop model HP Web site tech.
If by "wireless card" you mean that you have a 3G USB modem through your cell phone provider, contact the cell phone provider for help with that. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

If you buy a Spanish copy, Yes. If you buy an English dub, no.
You need ultimate, not Home Premium, change language. And even

After sysytem restored in windows 7 Home Edition, laptop can't connect to the internet.
Personal salvation of support
I have a lenovo laptop with windows 7 Home Edition on it, whenever I have a system restore I have following problem with network connection.- WiFi: the problem with the Wi - Fi connection is it says it has limited connection to the internet, the system receives a valid ip address of modem/router (DHCP). But system is unable to ping the address of the router (gateway address), similarly it cannot ping localhost or 127.0.0.1. It says general failure. Then I try to give the IP address manually on the wireless card, but I have the same problems
- Wired: when I turn off the wireless connection and want to connect to the laptop via a network cable to the router I have the same problem, it cannot ping the localhost or 127.0.0.1.
I tried the following, but it didn't work.
- ipconfig enough and ipconfig/renew
- Flushing the DNS system
- netsh winsock reset all.
- netsh int ip reset all.
I saw several online forums, but couldn't find the solution to this problem, the only solution is to restore the system to factory setting, and then it works. Wired and wireless network works fine
What is the solution to this problem, this is not an appropriate solution, is it a windows M S for this solution.
Your help is highly appreciated
Thank you
Tahir
