Try to reinstall Windows XP after a virus but I have no disks.

help a friend with his computer from hp, he has a virus and nothing is getting rid of him, try to reinstall operating system, but she has lost his drive, I have a dell drive but it will only install xp on dell computers, any advice on what I can do? I tried to put a hard drive recently in his computer which had xp on it but it does not recognize. I just get a black screen with a blinking white line.

original title: install problems for xp

Read HP PC troubleshooting and maintenance Guide.  Put the original disc HP in the machine (assuming that he collapsed or the interface is not dead), restart, press F10.

If the system re - installs correctly, create the recovery media when prompted to do!  There are two DVD-r or CD-12 r.

BTW, if the system does not at all, you could try to create the recovery disks by searching for the software in the start menu-all programs-Accessories-System Tools online online online until you hit F10...

In addition, after installation, goto WWW.HP.Com support and download upgrades or updates of drivers for their system. No member of this forum is omniscient!  Information you provide; the best responses!

    Hello

    I saw the 0x0000007B BSOD caused by trying to install XP on a disk hard while the BIOS is designating the reader as AHCI instead of IDE. XP has no native AHCI drivers, resulting in a stop 7B. Unless the PC had originally Vista or Win 7, but it might be useful to check that it is not likely.

    If the BIOS is set to AHCI, you could do one of three things (depending on whether your PC has a floppy drive)...

    1 find the Setup F6 disk on AHCI support at installation time (start with the manufacturer's website if you do not already have such a thing). Watch the very hit F6 prompt early in the installation process.

    2. change the setting in BIOS on IDE / ATA

    3. create a new "slipstreaming" installation disc drivers AHCI in the existing installation disc, see http://www.nliteos.com/index.html

    After the back if your BIOS is IDE / ATA

    You have created the Toshiba Recovery disk? Perfect!
    After Exchange of HARD drive, you need this you to install Windows 7 disc. The Toshiba Recovery disk contains an image of the factory settings, which means that you will have the factory settings on the new HARD drive after the use of the disc. You must boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

    > How to access password protected data after relocation?
    It would be interesting to know what data you mean exactly.
    Before you reinstall Windows, you must back up all data on a disk for example external HARD.

  • When I try to reinstall Windows XP on my Toshiba laptop, it works until I reboot. Then it says nvrd32.sys not found: press any key to continue.

    original title: NVRD32. SYS ERROR

    When I try to reinstall Windows XP SP3 on my Toshiba laptop, it works until the first reboot. When I boot on CD it comes up saying nvrd32.sys is not found: press any key to continue. When I press a key it is said: the Installer failed. Press a key to restart your computer.

    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.

    Hello

    ·         Windows XP came preinstalled on your laptop?

    ·         If so, you have a recovery partition?

    ·         Where did you buy the disc of Windows XP SP3 for?

    nvrd32.sys file is a chipset driver and must be installed via floppy F6 during initial installation.

    Method 1: To do this, follow these steps.

    a. you can download the chipset drivers from Toshiba Web site and copy it to a floppy drive.

    b. press F6 at the start of the installation of Windows XP.

    c. follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers for the chipset.

    If you perform a clean installation on an existing PC which has XP already installed:
    Check your code CD Key corresponds to what Belarc Advisor reports to your existing installation.
    Note: Windows OEM installs usually come with a sticker on the PC or laptop and may not match the installed key factory.

    and, usually, do not provide a Windows XP CD.

  • Reinstalling windows 7 after upgrading windows 10 PC Restore

    try to reinstall windows 7 Home premium Service Pack 1 DVD to boot. starts with loading files, then a selection box appears but I do not have access to pointer or keyboard mouse @ the first option, this being-select country - language ect... no access to choose so I stop PC using the power button / stop. can any 1 help?

    Hey did some checking in the forums and the web and found that a lot of people have had this problem and 99% of the time it was a bios problem. Make sure you also in your startup list you have the correct boot order which, for the most part, is cd, usb, hard drive, in that order. There is also an option called usb legacy list or just the usb mode to make it compatible. If you have difficulties to enter your bios, here is a list of keys

    ASUS - F8
    HP/Compaq - Esc
    Sony - F2
    Acer - F12
    Gateway - F10
    eMachnes - F10
    Toshiba - F12
    Dell - F12

    NEC - F2

    Make sure to go through all the lists in the bios and check to the right of the keyboard and usb ect. and he'll say: enabled or disabled. Make sure you that you save your settings before you leave.

    Moreover, for some depending on your bios keyboard and mouse are on the Advanced tab.  Once again not sure how old your system is or what type of machine you have, but that's what you're looking for

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

  • I had to reinstall Windows XP again and now him "you have become a victim of software piracy" has appeared.

    Hello

    I had to reinstall Windows XP again and now him "you have become a victim of software piracy" has appeared. I know for sure my code OEM is legal, because I enabled Windows XP on this machine before several times. So I decided to activate the key using msoobe.exe and via the internet.
    Apparently, internet activation is not available (a message code 24579). Of course, I tried the phone activation. Called on the answering machine, type the digits of the ID of the instalation. It don't did me not have any code to write in the fields ABCDEFG. Only that a mistake occurred.  Then I clicked on "Change product key" once asked me to do. Type in the product key. But it was rejected. I answered honestly, machine that I have not any new instalation ID. They said I need to contact the seller, because my key is not genuine... obviously, there is no way that he can help me.
    What should I do now?
    Thank you in advance.
    original title: cannot activate the XP by phone

    The key used here is a Volume that was never issued by Microsoft - license key was generated by the KeyGen tool a hacker.

    If it is key that you tried to activate, so it is no surprise it is rejected.

    If however, you have a valid key for Win XP Pro, you can change the it to this one, using the product key update tool, as Carey said. - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/genuine/product-key

  • Errors in the world when you try to reinstall Windows XP on a new hard drive.

    Original title: errors everywhere!

    Hi all:

    I recently bought a new hard drive (seagate momentus xt) for my older PC toshiba M70 laptop. I tried to re - install Win XP on the recovery disk (which came with the laptop) but I got a black screen with cursor. I repeated the collection, same thing. To check that all was well with the disc, I scanned and then installed ubuntu 9.04 it work perfect! What is interesting is that in the prior installation, he showed that win xp has been installed on the disk. Then I tried to re - install win xp - then I got this error Grub 17... I went back with the facilities and now I'm at a point where I get a message "error: unknown filesystem grub rescue >" (after the installation of ubuntu 11.04, then windows again). I don't know what to do. What I want is my xp back, I can't get ubuntu. Help, please.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi ARolle,

    ·         It is reinstall drive?

    Method 1: Load default BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings, and then restart the computer. Make sure that you have the CD drive set as first boot device. Check the settings by consulting the manual or call the manufacturer to do so.

    Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

    Method 2: Try to boot from the CD and see if you can start the installation.

    Contact Toshiba to get more information on the type of disc you use to reinstall Windows.
