Need an installation disc for XP for non-Boot PC with installed OEM software

My PC with OEM installed XP Pro (SP3, now) will not start (and I spent a LOT of time trying)... now I need apparently a CD of Installation XP.  Where can I get one?

The end of history

I fixed my PC and I have all my data.

See a different thread here where I have ID in the most General of terms, how I made my own XP Pro CD and do a repair / upgrade process out of it in place...

  • My installation disc for windows vista has an option "fix." This option allows to reset lost passwords?

    My installation disc for windows vista has an option "fix." This option allows to reset lost passwords? If yes how?

    Hi Martine regina,.

    We will not be able to reset the password by using the option repair; you will need password reset disk.

  • I lost the disc to restore my phone and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

    I lost my laptop computer restore disc and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

    My title says it all. I have an old HP laptop that they do not send to restore the disc more (I don't know yet I had one; his old laptop from my brother) and I have an installation disc for my new PC. I have a Windows XP Home edition SP2 installation disc. However, as the hard drive of my laptop broke down, I don't know what version of windows it was. I think it should have been an OEM version and the sticker says it was Windows XP Home Edition.

    Now, anyway I tried to install my installation on laptop computer disc, offering series of laptop computer but now it asks me to activate. Will it work if I activate it?

    Thank you

    Unless you are lucky enough to know someone who has a generic OEM drive, which you can borrow, I don't see a practical solution for you.  I advise you to spend the money to buy one, even if you could find one to buy from a reliable source (not eBay!).  Although a generic OEM disc should work with your product key, there is no guarantee that it will work with your product key.

    If your laptop can be retrieved through a restore partition, and you can't borrow a disc that will work with your product key, then you have pretty much exhausted all reasonable or practical options.

    I finally did! I borrowed a copy of a generic OEM drive, through activation and it is!

    Thank you much for the help...

    Now I've done could you help me more? Say now, I returned the drive OEM back (don't want to make an illegal copy) and want to be able to use my current system installed to generate a system disk that will allow me to avoid all the problems I've had up to now. What would you recommend? I've read a few articles on other forums (I did some research!) but is a little confusing. I hope you could help.

    Thank you

  • Help! Maybe I need the recovery disc for pavilion d4790y... + I think I messed...

    I had problems with my office for awhile now, think it might be a fan, virus, hard drive or ram as in my previous post... the computer would freeze/crash or not stop, requiring a firm hard. trying to reboot/restart computer, it would beep several times until I have let it sit for a few minutes, then everything was back to normal (found that might have been an error in the BIOS after all this happened)...

    Now, I have NOT touched or replaced all the components on my computer at all. Nothing! Now I have a debate on the upgrade of OS and RAM, but did not decide whether it was worth on this older machine. So I have done no amendment or change in software. the only change I made to it was not renew norton and goes with vast (free).

    The other day, it suddenly wouldn't boot Win Vista 32 in all. My monitor at startup (before config utility appears) had colored vertical lines across the screen. I immediately thought 'virus' or ' fan isn't card graphic blown is screwed/false driver downloaded... I enter safe mode with network, no problem with the monitor (no lines) and tried driver restore, but also to download nividia the updated. Nothing seemed to work except safe mode (s), system configuration, start the Setup program, CTRL I (don't remember which menu is), & screen of the system restore/repair/diagnose. I tried all the reboot thing pilots config, patterns of change (hard disk only), boot it. When you go to the splash screen (a back screen on startup), no line either... I tried the system restore, did not a thing... I tried the verification of diagnosis, all right... all equipment, the repair of the system did nothing...

    So I take the side box power off to check the components inside to see if any wiring was loose, fans not working/salty, etc... everything OK there besides fan a little dirty. Clean, same thing. Here comes the fun part...

    Now, I backed up all my files and 'backup' on my external hard drive... I thought that I had made the recovery discs or he had came with it when I bought it... I changed the configuration settings RAID0 by removing the old installation and turned to the raid no drives. Then, I created a RAID0 again... I guess you know where this is going...

    He said now insert the boot cd... Now, it of not anything but let me in Control Panel and change the startup preferences...

    I have no recovery disk or I can't find what happened if I have... with backup (for USB) external drives will not work... I kind of looking online hp without result and I saw some online, but that seems pretty shady, especially with the case of the OS...

    I will not buy another office, if I can help it, but I need to know if there is something I can do?

    Thank you

    Hello:

    Yes, I've been able to do it once, but you also need an operating system installation disk. You need a USB FDD + OS installation disc and the correct drivers of course on the floppy drive.

    You can use a recovery for this drive yet. It must be an OS installation disc.

    Yes have ultimate could be a problem. If you enter your model number on this site of surgeons in the computer, you get a lot of options showing the recovery disks for different versions of the OS, but only had listed actually drives.

    You need to call HP and ask or email these surgeons computer guys and see if they have the recovery disc for ultimate games.

  • Lost installation disc for Windows 7 Professional X 15-37362

    Hello

    I bought an OEM of Windows MicroCenter version when I built my computer in 2013.  Since then, I've lost the installation CD.  I have the product key, and when I try to download a copy of the operating system using this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery it says to contact the computer manufacturer.  I contacted MicroCenter and they told me that they do not have an installation disc replacement.  "No, the store is only allowed to sell records of windows with codes for them.

    So what am I supposed to do?  I need to reinstall windows, but I don't think that I should spend another $100 + on a copy of the disk with the additional product key when I already have a licensed copy valid and am put it back on the same exact hardware.

    Thank you

    Sites like those who sell the disc should not do that.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • Need to restore disc for Windows Vista Home Premium

    original title: need to restore the disc for Windows Vista Home Premium on Pavilion dv2000 laptop wiped out by Staples!

    Had clips to make a diagnosis and PC tune-up. Apparently everything was fine, until I refused to let them upgrade my Pavilion dv2000 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium to Windows 7. Don't know what they did, but now I get a black screen and cannot access the laptop at all. Is there a cure?

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    See you soon.

    The web page then has a link to the Adobe support section (of Assistance from Adobe). A bit like a redirection.
