Restoration of Windows XP on my HP Pavilion ze5300

I have an old HP Pavilion ze5300 running Win. XP. I wanted to update the operating system, so I called myself put Windows Vista on it. I bought a copy of Vista new, but used once before. Unfortunately, it is a no no with Microsoft. Well, I would put the copy of Windows XP on it. Can someone explain how I can restore windows XP on my HP Pavilion ze5300 without having to buy another copy.

When my computer load now it tries to load MS Vista, but it asked me for the set of the software key, when I get it. I get a message telling me that I used it once already. And I did it. But I supposed, for $79, I could use it again. I can't figure out how to restore XP. Please can anyone help with this. Again, I have a HP Pavilion ze5300.

Thank you

Hello dlbutler922. I understand you want your original, correct operating system recovery?

Format you the entire hard drive? If the recovery partition is still there you can try to perform a recovery of the HP System. This document describes the process. If your laptop was purchased before 2008 let me know and I can try to find more relevant information.

If you have deleted the partition you would need a form of recovery media. Given that probably you don't have that you can try to talk directly with HP. However, they can wear is more discs for your model if it is earlier. Give them a call at 1-800-474-6836 if you are in the USA / Canada. In other areas, you will need to visit HP's Support around the world to locate your contact information.

If your laptop has a sticker with a product to this topic (and you can read it), you can acquire a Windows XP disk and use this key to install it on your laptop. As long as you use the key only to install on the laptop, so it was planned you should be within the limits of the license agreement.

I hope this information is helpful; have a great day!

  • HP Pavilion DV7-4150: 10 Windows update fails on HP Pavilion DV7-4150

    Hello

    10 Windows Update crashes after 87%, so I have to turn off the laptop and the system becomes always restored to Windows 7.

    Is there someone who has improved the Pavilion DV7-4150 to 10 Windows? How?

    I installed all the updates with the HP Support Assistant HP and all Windows 7 updates I can get. I have the most recent BIOS F.29, but also the BIOS F.12 F.13 and F.23 do not work with Windows 10.

    In my view, the problem is the old BIOS HP. Is it a BIOS compatible for HP Pavilion DV7-4150 get worked with Windows 10?

    Please HP, is a big job for you, please deliver us a new BIOS for Windows 10 job!

    Thank you, always HP - Fan.

    Allways_HP_Fan

    Sorry, but HP has shown no sign that it grows some BIOS updates for older machines.  I have a HP DV6 and the update in 2011.

    I came across similar problems with my HP DV6 - it would always block partially through the update, and then I do a factory reset to get it working again.

    What DOES not work for me has been an own-made from a USB key, created installation using the latest version of Win10 obtained by using the tool of creation of MS Media: 10 Windows Installer by using the tool of creation of media - Windows help

    However, BEFORE that, be sure to read this thread on greating the genuineticket file, because you will need to activate Win10 after installation: Clean install Windows 10 directly without having to first upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

    Good luck

    The window that I write the topic is a collection of previous windows images in a smaller size.

    Firefox has a feature to view all your open tabs in one or more groups of tabs. You can show and hide this screen by pressing Ctrl + Shift + e. Is this the one you see, or something different?

    If you ended up with more than a group of tabs and you want to consolidate them, you can drag the thumbnail images all in one group.

    More information: use tab groups to organize a large number of tabs.

  • HP keyboard mapping inorrect freshly installed Windows 7 / XP on HP Pavilion 500-202eo

    Hello

    After you have installed Windows 7 Ultimate on HP Pavilion 500 - 202eo, I noticed that the HP keyboard connected is incorrectly mapped. I had exact same questions with the mapping of the keyboard with new operating system installs on oher systems as well, but couldn't really find a solution for this. In fact, certain symbols appear to move; While normally, where usually I had to press Alt Gr + 2 I got the sign @, I must now press shift. The? + button now product - character, while pressing on - product button /, <>product button------etc. I tried to put the keyboard in 'Norwegian', which is the layout of my keyboard, but nothing helped. It seems that I must be missing some type of a pilot or a patch, which is present on each preinstalled system that I own, but somehow is missing on installed fresh, even if there are no conflicts in Device Manager. I have the same problem on the XP installation. Any suggestions?

    Hello again once, I managed to solve this problem by specifying the correct keyboard language in Control Panel. I didn't need drivers after all.

  • 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.

    Hello:

    Here are links to the drivers you need...

    There is no information available online about what model of wireless card to your PC.

    Please do the following so I can understand that, and then I'll post the link to the wireless card driver you need.

    Go to Device Manager.  There should be a category of other devices containing a list of devices that need drivers under this category.

    The wireless card is labeled as a network controller.

    Click the network controller device, and then click the Details tab in the upper part of the window of network controller device.

    Now you should see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the Description of the unit.

    On this list and select the second element (Hardware ID).

  • restore the windows available

    I went to one of my FCPX library and deleted some files. Also, I took all my FCPX libraries and place them in a folder. Something tells me that it is a 'no-no' because after my FCPX started acting weird. Then when you restart my FCPX he stuck to "restore the window layout" and a gray screen. I found the support page for this particular problem, but I can't find 'library' in my menu 'go '. Can someone help me?

    I was opening a backup library - usually located in the folder of Final Cut backups in movies.

  • I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.

    I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.   I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP.   So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are welcome

    If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

    Kind regards
