Reinstalling XP OEM with any OEM cd

Hi, I am in the need to reinstall several OEM XP installations, due to the failure of hard drives. I have the product key and the OEM cd. However, the product key on the sticker was already pasted on computers and CD have been labeled unfortunately not to the computer on which it was installed to.

So I can use any cd to do the reinstall, or is there a way to find out which system belongs to the specific cd, or is there no other way but to try them one by one?

If two CD's are a media generic OEM (not related to a manufacturing like Dell, HP, Etc.) either key will work with a CD as the two CDs are identical and is the product key that counts. You should have no problem re - install.  However the phone activation may be necessary.

If the activation of the Internet does not work, then see the section titled: "how to activate Windows XP by phone.
Also, make sure that you do not confuse the product key numbers and letters
(number 8 can be confused with the letter B, etc.).

  • Windows 7 OEM reinstall (worn OEM sticker)

    Hi people, I think to do a new installation of Windows 7 that I did not one since the purchase of the computer (3 years ago) and I think that its full relatively blocked upwards of *. However, the sticker on the bottom on my laptop has worn out and I don't know what is my key. I know that the key is attached to the motherboard in a sense, but I guess I still need to grasp a form any key on the re - install. Also, as my laptop did not come with any installation disc, how I would approach re-installation of windows 7?

    They key is not integrated in the motherboard, it's that the OEM SLP versions will not work on the right system.

    Manufacturers of large systems included a recovery partition that allows you to restore the computer to the State it was originally sold. It's dependent on hard drive always being one that came with the computer and the recovery partition has not been removed. How to access the recovery varies among policy makers then google maker collection or similar procedure.

    If a system was sold without disks there should be a utility to allow users to create a set. Unfortunately, these are normally limited to only run once so can't make multiple copies.

    None of these solutions (recovery partition or disk set) require the use of the key on the label have on the contrary the license included in the image. If you can not run either solution then you may need to contact the manufacturer of the system to see if they will provide you a disk set (at a cost). They can only provide a new key.

  • XP - issue of modem - works with Westell 327W - now will not work with any other modem

    I use Westell 327W modem.  Verizon contacted on slow speed of ISP.  His person accessible tech my computer remotely and made various changes to the settings.  Did not help with the speed.  They then sent new modem - 7500 Westell.  However, I find now that while the computer always connects OK with the Westell 327W original, I can not connect with any other modem, including a new and several others that I have which was very well connected in the past.  I guess that the person tech made some changes to some settings that I place that affect the ability of the computer to recognize and to connect through a different modem.  The modem starts fine, all lights come on, but when I go to connect, I get a response that the remote modem does not recognize me.  Which parameter is one that handles it.  Thank you. Peggy

    Thanks - I have discovered that while I had an internet connection (that I could see), Verizon was not recognize me.  Problem is that I had to reinstall the software from Verizon for the new modem, which they had not told me I had to do (and did not).  Finally stumbled on it and had it solved, but thanks to the entry.

    By-the-way, he did not a thing to address the problem of low speed; their representative says it is 1.7 mps to the modem, the best that I get so 1.25, and it is habituellement.8 to 1.0.  Probably not your area of expertise

    Once again, thank you.

  • P1102w "unable to communicate with any wireless router using the provided SSID"

    Hi all, apologies if there is an answer to that somewhere, I took a look, and several people have had something similar, but without a clear resolution.

    I got a job p1102w successfully for about 2 years now and this week he suddenly won't print wireless. No recent changes to the network, no change to the printer, no changes to the computer.

    No luck with simple things so I reinstalled the printer (it works via USB), but when I get to the wireless network configuration steps I encountered a problem.  Automatically scan for wireless networks detects my home network, but by selecting translates "unable to communicate with any access point or wireless router using the provided SSID. The same error message occurs when you try to connect to a network wireless of my neighbors.

    Any ideas would be very appreciated.

    Isaac

    At this point, I would say that there is a problem with the card wireless in the printer.  Do you know if this printer is under warranty?

    If your printer is still under warranty, then I suggest call HP for Technical Support on this printer.

    If you use extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) which can block content (e.g., Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that these extensions are not blocking content.

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    Reload Web pages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
