Need to replace Windows XP CD

Hi, I recently put my Xp disk in my drive to do some repairs to the system, the cd had a small brake in the center of the disc, I don't think to much as I've used it before in this way... that the disc came to the speed of the cd came out... I was woundering if I could get a replacement disk... other wise I'll have to upgrade to Vista or 7 because you can not buy xp more...

Thanks, RMG.

  • We need a replacement for Windows Home Server that does not cost $700

    We need a replacement for windows home server that does not cost as much as a PC. 2011 is not really available and 2008 has compatibility problems, because it is based on XP and Server 2003. None of the motherboard manufactures will support XP (thanks to MS) and more recent SATA drives do not work in my motherboard more old.

  • I need to replace my hard drive in my Samsung laptop, I have windows 7

    I need to replace my hard drive in my Samsung laptop, I have windows 7. I want to reinstall it on the new hard drive running on linux but on install windows 7 on a virtual hard drive, how can I transfer the activation code

    In other words, you can't.

    Assuming that your edition of Windows 7 is the one that supports the transfer of a virtual machine (i.e. the upscale home and more)...

    You will need to do a clean install of the virtual machine, using the retail media and the key of the COA sticker.

    You may need to activate by phone.

    Note that Samsung have historically refused to provide any form of media except through a factory install. This means that it is almost impossible to install the original media for anything except the original disk, using the recovery partition.

    Two points:

    1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
    you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

    2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
    motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
    disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
    the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
    If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
    legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
    the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
    license dies with him.

  • How to replace Windows 8 with Windows 7 on a Compaq CQ58

    Hello!

    Yesterday, I bought a Compaq CQ58 with Windows 8 on it. I would buy Windows 7 to replace Windows 8 with. But:

    1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58?

    2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject?

    3 and if so, how?

    When you request support, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

    The information requested above are on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery compartment or on the BIOS boot screen. Please see How can I find my model number or product number? for help more to find this information. DO NOT include your serial number. Please enter the product/model information consumer HP Online Support page and post it here for our review.

    1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58? YES, it is probably possible to install Windows 7 on your computer.

    2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject? NO.

    3 and if so, how?

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    If you install from a USB key and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '. This should clear up the CD/DVD device is missing.

    In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    From the top...

    (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

    3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

    4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

    5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

    (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

    (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

    (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

    (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

    11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

    (12) you may need to provide Intel or AMD SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...

    (13) ' where do you want to install Windows 7? Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated space", you created earlier, and then click "next".

    (14) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

    (15) download and install the drivers from the support page for your computer.

    After installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (text only) for all other devices missing or unknown as illustrated in the example below.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Hey mklafert

    Sorry for the eve of Christmas, but there is no legal or free vista doesn't download only internet pirated versions that you would not want t for a gift

    I suggest that you contact acer and ask them to send you a set of disks of replacement for recovery of the acer link below but it will take time

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    But if you can borrow a microsoft dvd vista not acer hewlett-packard or the like discs of recovery of a friend or relative you might try to install vista in this way using your product outside of the laptop case key to install the family version correct vista premium of the dvd, and then go to acer and get the right drivers for your computer laptop model number

    Just make sure you get the good dvd vista

    There are two microsoft vista DVD produced is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit

    most of the computers came with 32 bit installed unless he asked a 64-bit

    and if you happen to also have a recovery on your computer partition acer laptop, you can start the recovery to factory standards by pressing Alt + F10 at startup

    There used to be a password you need to enter too

    It was 5 or 6 zeros

    If necessary, contact acer for this information

    I hope that you have a happy holiday season
