• I had to reinstall Windows Xp Pro, the product key will not work.

  I have not changed any hardware or anything like that. I downloaded the updates of msupdates and my computer went the fritz would not do anything. I reinstalled windows xp pro from the restore disc that came with my computer. The product key is not accepted by windows to activate it. I need to know what to do. It's a Dell optiplex 2.8 gig Board and proc 2 gig of ram. Anyway when I bought.

  Hi, I am assuming that you are unable to activate your XP via internet, you can try the phone holder to turn on.

  You will be asked of the remote computer to give the support page for phone numbers.

  You will then receive a new set of numbers to activate your XP.

  If this does not work, you will be directed to a Microsoft employee. Explain your problem and if they are happy with your answer will give you an activation key.

See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

• Reinstall windows xo pro sp2/sp3?

  Have a laptop with Windows XP Pro SP2 and it is 32-bit. I want to reinstall the OS, but I do not have the CD. How to do this? Where can I get the operating system? Can I download it from any source? Any link?

  Now the latest service pack for XP's SP3. So I can download SP3 from the windows website and install it in my pc. Is it free? At the bottom of my pc

  There is a sticker that shows the product key. But I think it's the product key of Windows XP SP2. I want to know that can I download XP SP3 and use this product key to reinstall the OS? Am I wrong?

  Please explain in detail what to do after I downloaded the OS? I want to download on another computer. How to make a CD so that I can install windows via a CD?

  Probably, your laptop has a depression recovery accessible by the F key or modified mechanism F (for example Ctrl) key at boot time. To learn more about this we need the details of your laptop (brand and model). You can find this documented somewhere in the start menu or in a booklet that came with the laptop.

  In addition, there are probably a facility to create your own recovery CD/DVDs. Again, look in the start menu and in any document paper. If this facility exists, you should do so as soon as possible because it's your only method of recovery in case of hard drive failure.

  Otherwise recovery integrated and/or the creation of recovery media, you will need to contact the manufacturer for recovery media.

  You can download a standalone SP3 Installer of...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

  .. .This is only a service pack installation, not a full installer of XP operating system. You can ignore the text which says that it is for network installations and also ignore the text informing Windows/Microsoft Update If a single update of a PC. You will not request a product key.

  Indeed you will need this installer of SP3 update of the OS until Windows Update will be operational. Install it before even to try Windows Update.

  Recovery of the manufacturer would not normally require the entry of the product key of your sticker. But if this is the case, the key on the sticker is good for recovery and updates including SP3.

  After recovery, you must uninstall any AV solution came pre-installed, do the SP3 upgrade without being connected to the internet and then install Microsoft Security Essentials for which a standalone installer can be downloaded here, for example...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=5201

  .. .or here...

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Security-Essentials-download

  Then you can connect to the internet and download MSE (or alternative AV) updates and Windows updates.

  A standalone IE8 installation program can be downloaded here...

• I have a dell latitude 610 laptop that I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows xp pro and it does not have all the internet apps

  When I reinstalled win xp pro it didn't install any help net drivers that I can't get on internet

  If you cannot access to the use of the internet, another computer and save the driver on a CD/DVD/card reader.

  Download network drivers for Internet

  Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model if they have drivers for your version of Windows. Download the driver and then follow the instructions to install.

• Device drivers are on CD to reinstall Windows XP Pro?

  I recently got a computer that has erased hard drive and Windows XP Pro reinstalled OS. But the Device Manager indicates that these drivers are not installed: Multi Media Audio Controller, SM Bus controller, Ethernet, USB controller controller & video Controller.Are the drivers on the reinstallation CD (which I have) or they are on a separate CD?

  Many computers need drivers that are not on the Windows XP reinstallation CD.  For example, Dell computers usually come with a Drivers and Utilities CD.

  Using another computer, go to the web site of the manufacturer of the computer and look for the downloadable drivers on your computer.

• Upgrade of large computers without having to reinstall windows 7 PRO?

  Hello, all the

  I'll be upgrading the motherboard, sound, video, memory, and processor on my current computer (I built it myself).  I will keep the same disk configuration.

  I have here some so that I can do this without having to reinstall Windows again?  My copy of Windows 7 Pro is a copy retail NOT oem.

  I read a bunch of different items on the net, but responses varied considerably.  My apps are all installed on the boot drive and all data, backups and documents are in a separate table in mirror. I'm trying NOT to do a clean install, because I have about 27 apps, some of which are quite massive and would take me more than a full day to reinstall.

  Thanks in advance,

  Jeffrey

  PS, just in case I need to specify the components, they are:

  MOBO - ASUS AM3 MSI AM3 + both with RAID support (hardware)

  Processor - AMD Phenom 8 core Core AMD FX Vichera 6

  Sound - Sound Blaster Audigy (legacy) to Sound Blaster Audigy PCI Express

  Video card will not change

  No, I think you need to perform the migration of a motherboard to another as simple as possible. No devices, cards Add on or what that what else option means that Windows is more likely to address changes in pilots limited successfully.

  Then restore optional lights preferably one at a time.

  Each RAID (manufacturer) solution can use proprietary systems, but within the same manufacturer, they tend to be fairly stable. I left a RAID Intel ICH6 for ICH9 without any problem. Also keep in mind that a mirrored pair does NOT use any form of ownership anyway. Set them on a platform no RAID and the data must be fully accessible.

• Reinstall Windows 7 Pro 64 bit after failure SSD

  The SSD in my HP laptop is not this weekend. He had installed on it when I bought Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. How can I reinstall the operating system, because I don't have the original OS installation key? Surely I don't have to buy a new OS. In fact, I plan on upgrading Windows 10 once that I get it upward and running.

  At the same time, I remember being able to call a technician at Microsoft, explain the situation and get a new key issued. Is it still possible?
