Repair a Windows XP on a laptop

How can I repair an installation of windows XP with the recovery cd without format the whole drive?
Concerning
Peter tarek

Hi Peter

It depends on what kind of problem you have. Be more specific please. Maybe there is a way to fix it without reinstalling the OS.
If there are some messages you need CD WXP please navigate to the i386 folder. This file is copied to your HARD disk, because the restore CD there are just image and no ability to copy some single files that can be user for the windows installation or repair.

For the first time, you can use the Windows XP System Restore tool!

    Hey,.

    I m a bit confused now
    What exactly happens on your laptop? You can start Windows?

    I think the article MS says it all: to repair Windows you need a disc of Microsoft Vista.

    Alternatives to reinstall the entire system use the Toshiba recovery disc that contains a picture of the factory settings. Have you created this disk?

  • Question about fix Windows XP install on laptop with connected screen

    The laptop is a Dell Inspiron B130 with Windows XP Home SP3.   I got to a little old lady after the display has stopped working.  The laptop works fine hooked up to a monitor and the display still works sometimes.  I tried to replace the inverter and inverter cable, but neither solves the problem.   I could buy a new screen, but don't want to spend more than $100 on a long shot that it can resolve this display problem.   I also downloaded and installed the latest drivers to display on the Dell website and they did not stabilize the display problem either.  Then, I tried to do a repair of Windows XP installation to see if there is a software problem that causes this problem.  However, I'm not sure that the monitor displays the screens I go through the repair process.  If we use only the display on the laptop and it turns black, of course, I wouldn't to complete the installation.  Any ideas or experience on this?    Thank you!

    Try to run, type: Msinfo32

    In the new window, click components, search for "problem devices".

    Once through, close, type run. DXDIAG

    Run the tests of Direct X.

    In addition, the Msinfo32 info, discover youre chipset on the MB, go to sound

  • can I use the windows key for the laptop broken on a new computer?

    Pre-installed Windows 7

    My laptop came with pre installed Windows 7, but now its dead as motherboard had burntout. So I am planing to buy a new system. I have the product key of Windows from the thumbnail below my old laptop, I use the product key or I have to buy a new copy of windows

    The copy of Windows 7 that came with this laptop is LINKED to this laptop.  It goes with her, even in death.

    If you get the laptop repaired, then you can use the method/support of the manufacturer of the laptop gave you to restore the operating system on that now resurrected system.  If not - you bought the rights for the whole package - not the individual components.

  • I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell desktop inspiron one 19

    I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell inspiron one 19 desktop... your help will be very appreciated thanks in advance!

    Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:

    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

    If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.

    Thank you
    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
  • EliteBook 8570w system repair disc Windows 7

    Hi all

    I wanted to do a repair disc Windows on my Elitebook 8570w system. It's pretty easy because Hp has a program called Hp Recovery Disc Creator that accomplishes this task for you. It gives you a possibility to burn a Windows disc and a driver disc. What HP calls the Windows disk is the system repair disc.

    Now, my problem is that the Windows disk does not work correctly (no idea why). When booting from the DVD screen guard stuck to Windows is loading files... Also when I try to run the installer from the DVD, I get error messages that says 'F:\Sources\autorun.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.' and after 'the file 'autorun.dll' could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Error code is [0xC1]"because I had all of a sudden to make the drive I can't simply make another DVD.

    Then, I tried to let Windows do the repair system itself disc (help to create a system repair disc). However, I get a different error message: "the parameter is incorrect (0 x 80070057).» Some people suggest that HP Recovery Disc Creator has "hijacked" the function "Create a system repair disc" window and this is what causes the problem. If HP does not give me a second try, and it prevents Windows to give me a second try as well! Then, perhaps to remove HP Recovery Disc Creator would work. However, it does not list in programs and features and I can not find an uninstall file in its directory.

    When you try to find a solution I came across a guide to create a boot Windows 7 Installation USB drive (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2432-usb-windows-7-installation-key-drive-create.html). She is to copy the files from the installation of the USB disk. Step 21 details the files that are on the installation disc. They are the same as on my system repair disc.

    Download an image of the installation disk so the same as downloading an image of the system repair disc? (I download an atm file but don't know if that makes sense) If not, are there other options to create a new system repair disc? Maybe somehow Uninstall HP Recovery Disc Creator or he fool into thinking I have not yet tried to do a Windows disc? Where can I download a disk image of the repair system somewhere online (I found most of the links are dead)?

    Please let me know if additional information is required! Thanks in advance!

    Michael

    TLDR: burned a disc repair system, the disk is not working properly, HP and Windows will not let me try to burn again. Other options?

    Hello:

    You can probably make an ISO file of the version of W7 Pro you must go to the link below.

    Use the SP1 media files regenerate.

    Use the W7 Pro from the bottom of the laptop product key to activate the installation.

    This tool allows to transfer the ISO to a flash DRIVE or a DVD drive.  The tool also performs the bootable file.

    Your other option would be to order a series of W7 for your PC recovery discs, by contacting HP for the country that you live in the link below.

  • Does anyone has installed Windows 7 on a laptop Pavilion DV2175

    If anyone has installed Windows 7 on a laptop Pavilion DV2175 and if so it is 32 or 64 bit

    Hello:

    There is an unofficial update guide to windows 7 for the series dv2000.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/Windows-7-upgrade-guide-for-DV2000-models/m-p/186936#M28141

    Given that the maximum amount of memory, that you can install on your laptop is only 2 GB, I'd go with W7 32 bit, as a 64 bit OS requires more memory and disk space to run a 32 bit OS only.

    Not double, but more.

  • Is there a setting I need to change the windows Defender because my laptop and an iphone4 work together properly on the internet, and they seem to take turns?

    I contacted my internet provider several times in recent weeks and they haven't a clue what's wrong, so they want to send a technician for £180, but a friend had the same problem and contacted PCWorld and they said that it is to do with the security setting so he then contacted McAffee and they changed the type of security on the router WPA2-Personal wireless to another and apparently it works fine now so do you think that's what I have to do? Sorry if this is real confusing :) kind regards D

    Isn't it clear what your problem is, but if you use McAfee (based on what I read on other forums) you should probably uninstall or disable Windows Defender on your laptop.  Windows Defender and McAfee may not work well together as MSE and McAfee should not be used on the same computer.

    Some older portable computers (such as my Dell Inspiron 5100 with XP Pro 2004) does not connect to a WPA-2 wireless router - mine only works with WEP and WPA.  Maybe it's the cause of your problem, but of course if your laptop is new, it should work fine with WPA-2.

    Given that your problems are not associated with MSE, why not ask your advice in the Microsoft Windows Forum at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us or on the website of the manufacturer of your router and maybe they can help.

    Good luck...
