My HARD drive is dead and I need another copy of Windows XP Edition family. __

I wonder if there is a way I can download another copy of Windows XP for my laptop, if I have the product key from COA sticker on the bottom of things.  Anyone know if this is possible?  Is there a link I can go?  Thank you.

I'm sorry, but it is not possible to download Windows XP.  Contact your computer manufacturer and request a Windows XP installation for your model computer disc. Boulder computer Maven

    The only method I can think of requires imaging tools such as Acronis True Image (costs money). It allows to copy the recovery on the new disk partition. Maybe you can then use the appropriate keyboard key (such as published on the HP site) to start a process of restoration of the factory.

  • Problem with hard drive 3 TB and the need to delete the system partition reserved

    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit version.  have another hard disk of 500 GB and I bought a 3 TB hard drive and installed windows 7 on it (3 TB) fine.  But to finish install and found 3 TB hard drive showed only 2 TB of usable disk space.  does a job at home and found that before 2011, the bios of the motherboard can only support HD up to 2 TB, and in order to use all 3 to, I need to convert to GPT disk.  To do this, I need to remove the volume, but since I installed windows 7 more early, he created a score 'system reserved', I can't delete or edit, or format.  All boards to complete this (converted to GPT disk) so I can use all 3 TB of HD?   Now, I re installed windows 7 on my other drive.

    Any advice on how to convert to GPT disk without deleting the system reserved partition?

    Thank you all... Finally figure it out.  Just in case where any who need it going forward... and

    That's what I did

    Step 1.  start by using the windows installation disc 7, press SHIFT + F10 when the language pop up page, use the diskpart... command to remove the system reserved partition. and turn off the computer.

    Step 2.  Open the computer case and unplug the 3 TB hd of the motherboard by unplug the SATA her cable.

    Step 3.  Re-install windows 7, turn off the computer when done

    Step 4.  re - connect the 3 TB - DD and closed the case and power on the computer

    Step 5.  Disk management can use GPT disk.

    A lot of work, but finally did.

  • How can I move a good copy of Windows XP Edition family of my G drive to a bad copy of Windows XP Pro onDrive C (startup disk) without destroying all the data and programs I have on these two discs?

    I have a computer that I needed an extra hard drive with a lot more memory that I had on this subject.  I had Windows XP Home Edition on it and was very satisfied with the system.  I came back from the computer repair store and my old hard drive was drive G, with all the old data still on it and a (used) and more C drive was in the unit and it's now my boot drive and I not paid no attention to it, he soiled by Windows XP Professional with service pack two.  I really did not notice the difference and I started to put several other new programs that I need on this computer and I went to work.  After over a long period, I now had a notice that it wasn't a valid Windows product.  I wondered of course that with Microsoft, because I had all my documents, my records, (now lost) and the key that was on the side of my computer.

    As I continued to find out what was going on, while doing a search for information on the drives, I found the original Windows program, I had, now my question is, how can I move on my C drive, while MY ORIGINAL Windows XP Home Edition causes my computer to start?  Most of the programs that I run is not compatible with Windows 7 or Vista even, and it cost me a fortune to buy all of these programs again.

    What can I do?

    Thank you!

  • Can I get my favorites on an external hard drive that I use as support? I have Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.

    I've been backing up my computer with Windows 7 Home Premium on an external hard drive. I've been using manual backup when I plug the external hard drive. I tried looking for the folder of Firefox but can't seem to find it. He recorded with all of the other files and folders, and if so how do I enter it?

    Your Firefox profile would have the data. You can find it at:

    • C:\Users\ < Windows user/login name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile folder >

      • The file you want is called places.sqlite

    You can copy this file if you want to restore your bookmarks to your current Firefox back to C:\Users\ < Windows user/login name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile folder > and overwrite the current file. Keep in mind, this will delete your current bookmarks.

    Hello

    My title says about the history. My hard drive (XP) died and the local tech confirmed is not a replacement value (it's an old machine).

    I have a MacBook and that you have loaded Parallels on it so that I can run Windows. Now I want to install XP on the MacBook, but I don't have the installation disc.

    1. is there somewhere I can download it from?

    2. once I have it loaded, my product key will work?

    3 anything else I should be aware of when to load XP on a MacBook?

    Thank you


    Thanks for the reply.

    I bought the laptop used on ebay from a company that has sold thousands of refurbished machines. I know that she buys lots of companies that no longer need them, wipe data, reinstalling Windows and then sell them. Installing XP is legitimate, because the laptop has a certificate of Authenticity on the back Microsoft.

    So I suspect that the Windows installation is not related to the motherboard.

    Other thoughts?

    Thanks again.

    It is quite possible that XP has been reinstalled on your computer using an OEM disc "generic" as well as your product key from the computer.  However, the product key itself is linked to the motherboard.

    For example, my son recently bought a used computer from a friend.  The friend had removed the original hard drive and replaced it with a smaller.  The computer has been a mess, but that's another story.  No installation disk came with the computer, however, it doesn't have the product key on the back of the case.  I replaced the hard drive with one more great I had on hand and then used an OEM disc 'generic' to reinstall XP, which works perfectly with the product key of the computer.  However, this computer must die, product key can be moved to any other computer.  The product key is the original computer motherboard.

    In short, a product key of your laptop if it is by the OEM product key, will not work on another computer.  No matter how legitimate the software's product key will not work on another computer, it is not transferable.  Product keys for the full retail version of Windows can be moved to another computer; However, the key to product can only be used on one computer at a time.  If the computer in question is delivered with Windows XP preinstalled, it is extremely unlikely that nothing else than the version the manufacturer OEM has been used.
