Need to win95 or 98 disc reinstall XP!
I recently wiped (using wipedisc) C & D of my portable disk and then reinstall XP. The problem is the laptop requires a drive for any type of pre-Windowsxp... it rejects my not recognized Windows XP genuine as disk and requests 95, 98 2000 or Millennium. The laptop is only 4 years old so I'm surprised and annoyed.
What I have to install Win95 to then install XP on top? And if so, how can I find Win95!
Is there another way around this?
Please notify.
:-)
Looks like you have an UPDATE of XP edition.
This means that you must provide an eligible operating system to be able to install a version UPDATE of XP.
As far as I KNOW, your only recourse is perhaps to look on Ebay...

When I updated to Firefox 5, I got a message that the Google toolbar has been disabled because it was not compatible. I guess the same is true for version 6. After trying to use the browser without the toolbar for a few days, I gave up and reinstalled version 4. Now, I am constantly pop-ups asked me to update and I can not yet send comments because you don't accept until I update. Version 4, I never had a problem with before, is now very unstable and I stopped at regular intervals to unfreeze it.
Do I need to switch to another browser in order to use the Google toolbar?
The Google toolbar "not build on Firefox 5 and later versions."

The toolbar 7.1.20110512W version works quite well in Firefox 5.0 using the add-on Compatibility Reporter. But not all features work 100%.

DV6 - 6167cl: need to win 7 recovery disc for a new hard drive
I do not know what operating system Windows 7, my laptop had, but I need to put Windows 7 on my laptop HP dv6 - 6167cl recovery disks.
My original question was that my laptop could not restore or anything on its own. After calling HP support and carry out a guided diagnostic test, it was determined that my hard drive was bad. I bought a new hard drive and replaced it, but need to get Windows 7 return on that.
Thank you!
Hello
Unfortunately, there is no option to download the recovery media - discs, or a usb flash drive must be ordered from HP by following the link in my previous post.
For the version, the possibility of order recovery media is only listed under Windows 7 64 bit and that's what I would have expected your laptop to ship with - it is your machine comes with 6 GB of Ram and would require a 64-bit OS to be able to access what anyone more than 4 GB
Another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.
Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the entire key 25 character product activation on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).
An example of a COA label can be seen here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here. The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

You may need, additional drivers and software are here.

I need a new XP installation disc to go with my COA
Reformatted but did not recovery discs provided (which does not now), so now I need a new Windows XP to go with my COST. Advice please.
Good luck, because XP is no longer available.
Since you have an OEM machine, you need a copy of the OEM software for this particular model and o/s. Perhaps you have a friend who has the same thing? Otherwise, you must contact the manufacturer of the computer. -
Need help with the formatting and reinstalling windows
Hi, I have a Compaq Presario C700 p/n GR598EA #ABU I got to work about 3 years ago.
Recently, it does not load windows, even in safe mode and I can't get back either.
I used a disc to boot from linux to access and backup of all my important files and now I want to reformat the hard drive, resintall windows and start over (or try something else which will fix it)
The laptop has been pre-installed with Windows Vista and HP stuff had already installed on it. I don't have a Windows disc or discs of driver with the laptop.
How can I format and reinstall windows and drivers, if I don't have records?
Help, please.
Thank you.
Hello:
You can order a Vista recovery disk set for your laptop if they are still available. See the instructions below:
http://support.HP.com/US-en/document/c00810334=
If you live not in the US or the Canada, you can contact HP Support worldwide for the country you live and ask recovery disks command to your laptop
