• Newly installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 works not properly.

  I have a Dell Dimension 4300 S and I recently installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 from the disc I have. When I try to download the SP2 and SP3 from Microsoft I get this box that says "extraction error." I can't download anything and sometimes, when I'm on the internet on this computer, it says "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" and I send error report and, sometimes gives me the blue screen and starts dumping memory. Also, it wont let me on the Windows Update page and the computer won't auto updates.

  Does anyone know what is the problem? I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 two or three times now and linked the repair disk, and I always get the same problems.
  Let me know if I have to give any specs or whatever it is.

  Love the help I'm getting here. :)

  Sorry for the delay but this is a public forum, the vast majority of us here are simply users of Microsoft products (even those with MVP behine their names which is just an honorary title) as help you others when we can. We have no affiliation with Microsoft, nor do we receive any advantage whatsoever, we are just volunteers. Occasionally, a Microsoft employee can post but it's pretty rare. On your workstation.

  After having reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP1a have you installed the necessary drivers? This includes drivers for the motherboard (chipset), audio, video, LAN (network adapter), and so on.  If this is not the case, check the page linked below:

  Since SP1a was part of the reinstallation, you will only need to install SP3. The page below the States 'in order to install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) "installed.".

  (see manually install SP3 using the Microsoft Download Center or a CD)
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/learn-how-to-install-Windows-XP-Service-Pack-3-SP3

  IMO, it's better to download SP3 for:

  Windows XP Service Pack 3 network installation Package for IT professionals and developers
   http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

  I know that the above download is 316 MB and will take time to download, but from my experience, I had much better luck with that route. In addition, you can then save SP3 on a CD if you need to reinstall again.

  Finally, the following page should help you in the process of installing SP3:

• How to install Windows XP Home on a Qosmio X 500?

  Hello

  I find windows 7 especially frustrating so I want to dual-boot with Windows XP.

  So I tried to install XP, but I get a BSOD after the installer does its initial copy of files (before the bit where you specify which partition to install on). At first, I thought that it might be because I need drivers SATA wake in the installation so that it can detect the hard disks. But it does not work. So now, I'm at a lost as to why I can't install it? Is it to do with the hidden partition on the laptop which was set up to store the backup image of the system?

  Anyone able to tell me if its possible to install XP on and if so how?

  My Qosmio X 500 is the Australia.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  > Other experts could help tell us if we can install Windows XP on Toshiba Qosmio X 500 Series or not?
  I m not really an expert, but I think that Windows XP on Qosmio X 500 is not possible because there are no drivers on the official website of Toshiba. This means that you will not be able to use all functions on X 500 because it s Windows 7 supported only.

  But why you want to change obsolete Windows XP? Are not satisfied with Windows 7 or what?
  I use Windows 7 for 9 months now and in my opinion it really awesome OS s. Windows 7 is the future because it of stable and fast. All new material is designed for Windows 7. ;)

• I have Windows Vista and you need to install Windows XP Home Edition. Vista doesn't let me. What can I do? I need XP for my Quick Books program in order to make books. Please help me.

  This computer was given to me by my kids.  I had with Windows Vista already installed.  I also want to install Windows XP to my Quick Books program.  Vista will not let me install XP.  Can you help me?

  Hello

  You don't say how you are trying to install XP and if the manufacturer of your computer has XP drivers available for this purpose to activate XP to be installed and run successfully on this subject.

  You will need to go to their website where there should be a section to see if they have XP drivers for your model computer.

  If they have XP drivers available for it, follow the instructions in these links provided in its response to dual boot Vista and XP:

  http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm

  http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-1946.html

  I prefer the Instructions in the second link.

  Here's another consideration on the use of the XP Compatibility Mode in Vista for QuickBooks, but as I don't use QuickBooks, you will need to request support QuickBooks if it would work in this way.

• You will need to re - install windows xp home edition after hardware failure.

  Hello

  I have an old e-machines computer desk (T1842) I bought nine years ago. It comes preinstalled with microsoft windows xp home edition, there is little time, we had a power surge in our House because of an act of God. I didn't throw this computer, so I bought a new power supply and a new motherboard for my computer running again. This is where my problem occurs, the hard drive on this computer became corrupt, and I have to re - install the operating system on it. The only software that has been arranged for me at time of purchase was a two disc set of what e machines calls "recovery disc". I tried to use these disk to get my computer running again, but there seems to be a hardware conflict now because I had to replace the motherboard, etc... What can I do to get my computer working again, of course, I still have the certificate of authenticity of microsoft / label the product key provided on the back of my computer at the time of the purchase, but the product key does not seem to help me solve this problem. I do not want to get my computer working again, it would be nice if I could get a new disk of software that would be compatible with this new motherboard, etc.. Can someone help me please?

  Thank you

  David

  FWIW... The motherboard came with a driver disk? If you use the recovery disk, I don't think you will be able to re - install windows from scratch. Even if you could you would have problems with the product key code, since the code you have is registered to the old mobo. You can click on the link below and follow the instructions to create a Utlity Cd, allowing you to recover your data on the hard drive. It is also full other little tools that will be useful.

• Qosmio G30-145: WinXP and RAID driver - no response

  I did everything that is needed for the installation of windows xp for Qosmio G30-145.

  Installation process is as a result: as in http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB56012H0001R01.htm and that worked, but during the installation of windows has started, you will be asked once more (first time I did format and second time that I did ' t format HARD drive): "INSERT THE DISK LABELLED"TOSHIBA RAID DRIVER"in the A: drive... "Press on enter when ready '- but no reaction... SOLUTION!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  According to the Toshiba page suggested when installing Windows using to partition or format the HARD drive, the RAID driver is deleted in the process. This causes the shot the next time that the machine start-up.
  To avoid this, perform a partitioning and formatting before you run the manual installation of Windows.
  This behavior is not displayed during the installation of Windows XP with SP2 integrated

  Well, perhaps, you need a CD OS Win SP2 integrated?

  But why you do not use the recovery CD Toshiba delivered?
  On this CD, all drivers are preinstalled and you only need to install the OS from the recovery CD. All should work properly.

  PS: Just for the record: in the BIOS, you should find an option to disable (or change) the RAID.
