My HP mini crashed today, I need to reinstall Windows 7 starter I have the product key
My HP mini is a black screen and I do a new reinstall top can get instructions step on a clean install to start windows 7. I have my product key and and the external dvd drive to boot windows with. Is anyway that I can get help with this without charge for customer support.
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 HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
If the recovery partition does not work, see the following resources:

I borrowed a windows disc 8 to begin the new hard drive. I was running Windows 8.1 upgrade of Windows 8 beta. I can't register the windows 8 OS with my Windows 8 update product key. Can I just load windows 7 from this point then reload the Windows 8 upgrade?
Thanks for any comments.

"OS not found"
Hello... My laptop out there today and I'm trying to start it, it says "operating system not found '... I guess I reinstall windows Vista but I can't find any cd/dvd... I dontt think that I was given when I bought my laptop a few years ago... Do you think I can get another copy (free of charge)) LHello
If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your laptop there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
Also some manufacturers have more available recovery Vista disc.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

See you soon.

I repair computers and give them to those who cannot afford it. I need downloads XP and XP Professional to put in the units that I put in new hard disks. I have the product key doesn't... no software. He was paid to Microsoft which is available for download?
If the computers you repaired are computers of brand (HP, Dell, Tosihba etc) then check it suport web site. You have two options:
(1) a "recovery Partition" on the hard drive.
(2) restore DVD.
Contact the manufacture for instructions, or to obtain the installation media.

I need to reinstall XP but do not have the installation disc.
XP Home edition has been loaded on my computer at Circuit City, when it was purchased. I have a disc did not have and am now need to reinstall problems d/t computer. How I do that? I have the product key sticker... thks!
Chances are very good that if you borrow a disc from someone, it will be an OEM disc, which means that it will contain the pilots incorrect and all the garbage that comes pre-installed on this brand of computer.
Do yourself a favor and save the headaches. Add the max RAM to your device and install Windows 7 Pro.

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.

I have a PC Emachine that I bought with Windows XP Home Edition loaded on it, hard drive went bad and had to be replaced, I don't have a CD to reload my Windows, still have the product key sticker on the PC to save it. Is there a way I can download it? I have XP Pro on another PC, thought I could load and use the product key for my original PC, but who doesn't. Any ideas on what I can do
Borrow an OEM Windows CD (it must be OEM) and install it using your product key. (You can make a copy of it for your future use - this isn't the CD you pay because it's the product key). A generic OEM CD maybe not some or all the drivers you need you would be safe to download from the website of the provider first.

See the response of Mike Hall, but also, note the following:
What virus do you have? How do you know if you're a? Reinstalling Windows due to a virus is almost never required and is usually exaggerated way. It is normally much easier and much less likely to cause you problems if you delete the virus with a good antivirus program.
