Reinstalling Windows XP without CD

Hello

I have Windows XP Home edition on my laptop. I think it came to the time where I want to reinstall windows to return some performances! However, as with many computers nowadays, my laptop not came with an installation CD, or any instructions on how to create a CD master.

Is it in any case, other than purchases of new CD or borrow from someone else I don't know anyone else who has it, I can use the files on my laptop (I read somewhere about using the winnt32.exe file in the I386 folder on my drive C :) to completely reinstall windows?

This is a legitimate copy of Windows, I was simply not provided with an installation CD, and I have my serial number for my copy of windows.

I'm not a beginner when it comes to computers, but I'm an expert any! I have already backed up all my personal files, and I'm sure I'll be able to find the drivers I need on the web, so I'm not particularly worried about that (as long as I can connect to the web later!).

Someone at - it ideas?

Thanking you in advance.

Hello

As far as I know Toshiba has offered two laptops of various Satellite Pro L10. One with Intel Celeron M (Dothan) and other with Pentium M (Centrino) processor. The two laptops are delivered with Toshiba CD recovery facilities.

Two of them are delivered with Windows XP Professional (always installed on the Satellite Pro). So after reading your ad, I assume that you do not have the pre-installed operating system factory settings. I'm really confused how you can have the home of Windows XP Home edition. Maybe you bought this laptop that used a.

You are right about the drivers. All the drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > download & support.

To be honest, the best solution for you will be buying the CD of original WXP facilities. You shouldn't buy a new. On eBay you will find already used CD cheap enough facilities.
Anyway, you can try to use winnt32.exe. The I386 folder must be placed on the second partition. the laptop must be started in MS-DOS mode using some boot floppy disks, or you must create bootable CDs.

All this can be complicated for you, but you can try it. The key to Windows XP Home edition in the lower corner belongs to the original recovery image and I don't think that you can do if you have Windows XP Home home. Sorry, but it may not be the image of origin for this laptop.

What is your opinion on this?

  • Reinstall Windows XP without OEM disc

    I work on a computer with Windows XP Home Edition.  Safe mode does not start and I'm unable to uninstall or install programs.  The user has a malicious AOL software package that detects a threat (but he is unable to do something about this).  Without being able to install the software or to access in safe mode, I don't think I can do a lot.

    I think I need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows.  However, the OEM Windows XP Home Edition disk disappeared.  The product key is known and I do not have a Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 discs.  I'll be able to install Windows using the original product key with this drive?

    The good news is that the Dell XP installation CD are in every way. And not only CD - R copy of them! You can get one on Ebay at a dealership with a rating less than $20, including shipping. But surely a relative, friend, neighbor colleague you know has one of them - they are everywhere! And when you use a Dell XP installation CD, there is no need to worry about the product key thanks SLP (System-locked preinstallation) technology that Dell uses.

    If, and only if, this CD - R is a perfect copy of the correct original CD, then it can be used with success since you have already a valid COA and the product key. The problem is that there is no way to really know what's on this CD - r... (Well, I guess, that there is a way if you can determine the MD5 checksum and compare it to the checksum MD5 of the real McCoy.)

    I had problems with my computer and I had to reinstall Windows.  The computer works fine now, but the problem is that I had a Windows Vista disk (the computer was shipped with Vista).  However, shortly after I bought my laptop, I've upgraded to Windows 7 (student edition or something like that) but I did via the internet; I never had a disc.  So when I reinstalled Windows, I reinstalled Vista.  I want to know is there a way for me to reinstall or "reupgrade" from my computer to Windows 7 without disc.

    Hello

    Well, I recommend to create a second partition on the HARD drive. There you can reinstall you new version of Windows XP.
    If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery CD, you must use the Expert mode to recover the operating system, because there you can choose the partition.

  • Reinstall windows xp without a disc

    my computer is slowing down, so I tried to reinstall windows xp by using winnt32.exe, but when I tried to reinstall it I got the error message "Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD.

    WARNING: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windows that is currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot be recovered. »

    What can I do?

    > I tried to use winnt32.exe to redo the windows, but he says that my current version of windows is more recent than the version that I tried to replace it with (default factory version) also the category that I chose sounded closest to what im trying to, I don't mean to fix directly /reprise from my computer

    Looks like you try to perform a repair installation after booting from the hard drive, which will not work offshore. Even if you were able to boot from the 6 floppies or something like a Bart PE CD, or if you actually had the correct version of the XP installation CD, a repair installation will simply not help. You must either treat the cause of your slow or perform a clean installation. You say you have an eMachines computer, but you still have not told us the model and model number! As long as we do not have this information, it will be difficult to help you!

    This guide MAY be what you are looking for:

    http://support.gateway.com/s/manuals/desktops/8510406.PDF

    The first ball most option will not help you. It is similar to a repair facility. Although it will give you a 'new' copy of Windows, it will always leave the situation that causes the slow intact. In addition, repair installs (or their equivalent) can be difficult and problematic and should only be done in certain situations.

    The second option is a clean install. If all your important documents are on a flash drive, you need to run. But you will have to reinstall all your programs after verifying that you have SP3 and all post-SP3 security updates installed.

    Of course, you can choose to deal with why your PC slowed down. We will guide you. Then increase the chances you won't have to deal with this kind of headache again because you will know what to do to avoid the slowness in the first place.

    Once more, run winnt32.exe is not going to work, so banish the thought!
