Recover Windows XP Home with Microsoft XP CD

The OS XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satelite laptop broke down with very important data. I try to recover the system with an original CD of XP Professional for sure the datas. During the process an administrator password is asked, but I don't know if it is the password of usual connection or something else.
Can you please tell me what password I need
or you know a better way to safety my datas important?

Thank you!

Hello!

I think that a recovery with an original disc from Microsoft will not work.

However, there are other options how to back up your data.
You could start the laptop from a Linux live CD/DVD, and then you also have access to your data on the HARD drive. Now you can save it on an external drive or USB key.
Or you use an external HARD drive box you can put the HARD drive and save your data with another PC or laptop.

Good bye

    Windows 7 pre installed partion delet back then how to recover windows 7 home prium

    Hello

    You have very limited options now that you have deleted the recovery partition.

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

    But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

    As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they must provide for a fee, if they still have available which is very doubtful.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    See you soon.

  • My wmi file is missing. I am running windows xp home with sp3 addition

    whenever I try to use the windows diagnostic utility or if I try to use any microsoft diagnostic tool always happens the same thing. Sometimes it does not find my wmi or its lack. What can I do to fix this?

    Looks like the Windows Management Instrumentation Service is not running or your information from WMI files are missing or damaged. It is easy to rebuild the WMI information files and replace all the files corrupted or suspicious.

    To solve your problem, stop the Windows Management Instrumentation service, rename the folder suspicious or with WMI, restart it your system.  When the system restarts, the WMI service will automatically start and rebuild the WMI folderand is automatically the content.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    services.msc

    Click OK to launch the Services applet.

    Locate the Windows Management Instrumentation Service.  If the status column indicates that the WMI Service is started (ongoing), right-click on the WMI Service and choose to stop the WMI Service.

    Answered in the affirmative, if requested to stop Security Center and Windows Firewall Services (with stopped services, your system is vulnerable to attacks from the Internet, so do not receive is not on the Internet again until you reboot your system).

    Now would be a good time to check also the properties of the WMI Service to make sure the startup type is set to automatic for the Service WMI will start automatically the next time the system is restarted.

    The Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that your boot drive is C):

    C:\Windows\System32\Wbem\
       
    Locate and then rename the folder "Repository" to something, as you remember, such as:

    Repository.Old

    Restart the computer, and then make sure that the WMI service is restarted automatically and that a new repository folder has been created to replace the one that has been renamed.  It may take a while to completely rebuild the file storage (several seconds or minutes) so expect it ends.
       
    After the reboot, you will notice the wmiprvse.exe Service running in the Manager of tasks and he will continue to run until it completes the reconstruction of the repository.  This may take several minutes depending on your system, but eventually the wmiprvse.exe Service ends and disappear Manager tasks.

    If you then look at the Event Viewer Application log, there may be some error messages like this:

    Event type: error
    Event source: WinMgmt
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 4
    Description:
    Failed to load C:\WINDOWS\MICROSOFT.NET\FRAMEWORK\V4.0.30319\MOF\SERVICEMODEL MOF. MOF by retrieving the file from the repository.

    This is normal because when the system restarts, the wmiprvse.exe process has to rebuild parts of the repository as well. It is a mistake to sequence as shown below. You should not see these mistakes again after the system has been rebooted and catches up and finishes rebuilding the WMI repository.

    Explanations for errors encountered in the case of the Application of visualization of the newspaper the WMI repository is rebuilt:

    Explanation
    Windows Management Instrumentation could have tried to compile the file (mofcomp) a .mof marked for ASR, but compilation failed.
    This is probably due to a sequencing problem.
        
    User action
    To correct the problem, try to compile the .mof again. If this does not resolve the problem, contact the vendor of technical support for the program
    in question.

    You shouldn't need to do something about these error messages and do not see again them after that XP has finished rebuilding the WMI repository.

  • Addition of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Home Edition creates the system failure

    We have an older Compaq Presario that came with Windows XP Home Edition. [a Pentium 1 2005]
    I try to install Windows Live Onecare (free Qwest).  When I update our Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3, when I reboot I get a black screen that says that there is an error with a recent change of hardware or drivers. So I boot safe mode.
    There has been no hardware changes.
    I did a destructive restore by using the Compaq recovery disk which is supposed to wipe the drive and reinstall everything.
    I can update Windows XP with service pack 3 and everything works.  When I install Windows Live Onecare, at the next restart I get the same black screen and need to start in safe mode.
    I can do a destructive restore and load Windows Live Onecare and work without any problem as long as I do not install Service Pack 3.
    I tried to make recovery of Windows with the same results.  I can do a restore before any point where I do not have the Windows Live Onecare and the Service Pack 3 and everything works fine.

    So I guess that there is a conflict between Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Windows Live Onecare on this computer.  I have both works well on other computers in our home network, but they are Pentium III or higher.

    Anyone know if there is a difficulty, or just simply never through my XP Home SR3?
