Reinstall Windows XP SP3

I recently reinstalled Windows XP SP3. Reinstallation was successful, however, I think having acquired a "drive F" that I didn't have before. This disc is only 3.14 GB. All downloads (for example. Microsoft Office) seem to default to this disk and the available disk space is so low that the download does not load. This disc also has software like Windows files that seem to be duplicated on the local C drive.

Why is my Local Disk F?

Why are there records that appear to be duplicates?

How can I increase the size of this drive?

Note: I have not loaded one of my programs and files, and yet I seem to be low disk space!

If there is anything you want to keep it on one of the drives (don't forget!) then during installation you can choose to delete the partitions and just leave XP to create a new. In this way it will fill the entire disc usually.

There are other ways to do it via diskpart tools or a third party to kill the partitions, but the installer can do it too.

    So, I don't know what to do. I tried searching on google and found a set, but talk of computer that I couldn't begin to understand. Basically, what I consider somewhere or can I fix it myself? I just paid for a new disk of Windows XP SP3, so I'm not looking forward to having to pay someone to use it.

  • Reinstall Windows XP - HP printer print sometimes gibberish

    I had to reinstall windows XP sp3 caused by a virus.  I have formatted and reinstalled windows disk.  I installed the drivers required from Dell (Dimension 4700).  Everything seemed to work correctly after the installation of windows all updates.  I then installed the HP Officejet Pro L7650 AIO software.  Now sometimes when I print, I get gibberish.  I can usually get it works by re-printing of the document.  Files PDF and excel spreadsheet appears to print correctly.  (Fax cover page) Word documents and web pages seem to have a problem.  The document will be printed with all formatting intact, but the words will be gibberish.  I don't think it's a problem of HP, but think I might be missing a step after the re-installation.   Any ideas?

    You're hurting. You can not install Windows from Windows.
    You must boot from the Windows CD to do so. And to boot from the
    CD, the CD must be first in the boot order. If it is not first of all, you
    have to go into the BIOS Setup program to change.

    When you start from the CD, simply follow the guests for a cleaning
    installation. The new facility will begin formatting the
    drive and it does not look or how carefully SP version you have
    installed.

    And note that reinstalling Windows itself will result in loss of
    everything on the disk, so make sure you you have a backup on external
    media of all the data you need. Your programs should all be
    reinstalled from their original media.

  • I reinstalled Windows XP Professional SP3 and also formatted my HDD (IDE), but before it displays the loading screen, it shows a BSOD disappear but before I can read it. What is the problem?

    Hello, as I said in my title, I reformatted my IDE HDD and reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP3, and before that it loads, s it just shows a BSOD screen without me being able to read. Anyone know the problem?

    Microsoft? Why always SP3 Gets the problem? -__-

    Did disable the auto reboot not to reveal information of BSOD?

    On your SkyDrive, you must click on share, change permissions and adjust the slider upward, so that we can him.

    In fact, you have an XP with SP3 installation CD?  It's kind of a miracle here.

    Where did you buy that and when you bought it (just curious).

    If you need help, enter the XP Recovery Console, just ask.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.
