• You need to reinstall XP Home edition.

  I just had my computer repaired and he installed Windows Profesional.  What should I do to reinstall XP Home Edition?

  If you still have (or can borrow) from your version of pre - XP Windows installation disc, you can install Windows XP from a disk of Home Edition upgrade.  Boot from the XP disc and follow the prompts.  See the Installer Windows XP page for more details.

• eMachine 5260 crashed because of the virus. How can I reinstall XP Home Edition OS?

  My 5 year old eMachine 5260 crashed due to a virus.  Had to buy a new HP with Windows 7 Desktop to enable the family to continue to work.  It's a shame simply throw the eMachine.  Could I check if the HARD drive does not work, remove everthing that was on it and then buy an XP Home Edition Operating System with COST, no matter the eMachine was XP Home Edition OEM installed which I can't do anything with it?  eMachines said that the office is more than 5 years and they cannot send recovery discs, although they said that the disc 3 of 4 may have corrupted, that's why she is not going to fix.  Would really appreicate your kind advice.

• Problems reinstalling Vista Home Edition.

  This is the first time I've posted in these forums so feel free to tell me if I'm missing out on useful information.

  I have a laptop (bought in 2008), which was originally windows vista Home premium installed on it. It worked very well even if I couldn't install service pack 1. I never thought that a lot of it because it has not affected my laptop.

  Recently, there was a special offers students Windows 7 for $ 5 by downloading online. I tried this but it says that I couldn't install it because I had no SP1 for vista installed. I contacted a technician microsoft e-mail and did everything she told me. Finally, she concluded that I had thousands of errors that could not be fixed manually. She suggested buying a windows vista recovery disk. I paid on the one hand, tried to reinstall vista on my laptop (which is VERY time consuming) and get a message saying something along the lines of "windows could not complete the installation, restart the installation '." I tried this THREE times. I made sure to save all of my information beforehand, but now I was not able to reinstall vista with success, that I have no way to restore, so in a sense, I lost all my information. I'm a uni student so very worried.

  Help, please.

  «I've been advised by a microsoft technician to just buy a recovery disk.»

  A MS Tech should have said you contact the computer manufacturer to buy a.

  There is a DVD of Installation of Vista and a Disk(Neosmart,) of recovery of startup repair and recovery disc you get from the manufacturer to put your computer to the factory settings (how you bought).

  Microsoft sells not recovery discs, they sell diskettes for Installation of Vista.

  Computer manufacturers selling recovery discs.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If you have a recovery disk computer manufacturer, boot from it and follow their instructions:

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  If you have problems using it, contact the manufacturer of the computer.
  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

• How to reinstall xp home edition? It came with no disk__ restart

  It is bogged down and I want to restore the computer to its factory settings and to clean the disc for my husband to use.  I've defragged and clean the disc until I'm blue in the face and it has not solved the problem.

  The vendor of your computer MUST provide you with a method to restore it to factory settings. Look in the documentation that accompanies it, or contact the manufacturer. If no disc has been provided so it's big, you have a hidden restore partition... If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you!

• XP Home Edition does not start without the installation CD after reinstall.

  I reinstalled XP Home Edition on my PC without formatting the drive first in order to keep all of my data.  I have installed all service packs.  However, for some reason, I had to call Microsoft to get validated.  The only problem I have now is that it does not start without the installation CD in the drive.  I have XP on the half before the C drive and me on the back of half.  The reader is a digital WD800JBRTL of Western.  Well it worked like that for years. Why can I now not start without the CD?

  HiNeal2660,

  It seems that the NTLDR file is not on the C: drive. NTLDR is the boot loader for all versions of Windows.

  You can perform a Windows XP repair installation & check if you are able to start normally.

  For more information, please visit this link: perform a repair Installation

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• Reinstallation of Windows XP Home Edition (new hard drive) does not start properly, please help

  I have a HP Pavilion zd7000 that bad on the hard drive. I bought another and used the reinstallation disc to reinstall Windows Home Edition.  Everything seemed to go well, but it starts now to a HP Invent logo black screen that says press F10 to go together to the top and F12 at startup of Lan.  Then, a second black screen appears that says press F1 to resume or F10 Setup.  I press F1 and Windows loads very well.  What can I do to have Windows load immediately without going through this?  Any help will be greatly appreciated!  Thank you much in advance!

  EverWin... IT WORKED! I can't THANK YOU enough!  I've been to every site I could find... begging someone to help me.  Audit throughout the day (for a week) to see if someone had answered... tried everything!  I'm so happy (and tired) I could just cry.  I can't believe that you took the time to help me... I appreciate it very much!

  God bless you!

• Professional XP on drive C & XP Home Edition on the D drive. How to remove C professionals?

  Just delete all the C files on XP Home on D. Docs and settings, program files, windows and any other records that may exist.

  Do not delete all the files in the root of C! This is essential for Windows to start. They include ntldr and NTDETECT.COM, ini, boot.

• MY home pc has been configured as a workgroup instead of a pc in the House. How can I change this using xp home edition?

  My brother did a clean reinstall of my xp home edition and it is configured as a workgroup instead of a personal computer at home. I need to change that. What I have to reinstall XP Home Edition or can it be done with the repair on my xp home disk option?  Create problems that I have my user account and the user account from my children.  All I want is to have this setup of working group last. Help, please

  I don't think he did his PC a "domain". This would require a server operating system and the domain controller.

  I don't see any problem with your configuration. 'Administrators' are a group of users, not a user. 'Administrator' is a user who belongs to this group 'Administrators' and therefore share the same privileges. There is no user named "admin" unless you create.

  If I understand correctly, you can connect to the administrator account. So, you don't miss any privileges or access to the computer. If you want to use a different account for yourself you can create and use that one.

  I ask for your specific problem. You don't tell him, at least no that looks like a problem. You seem to be confused about the installation, but I see nothing non-standard in your description apart because the administrator account is usually "hidden" after installation.

  You mention an internet problem. This has nothing to do with the configuration of your account or the "working group". And what is the problem with having backup privileges? I don't understand your remark on your child's account. Sounds more like you're talking about an account on a site, with Xbox, or almost, but not with local accounts. A local account didn't need "activation".

  I think you should talk to your brother in case you have problems. It seems to be knowledgeable enough to fix everything for you.

• Windows XP Home Edition does not start: System Configuration Error Code purple?

  I ran recently on my Windows XP Home Edition SP3 computer system recovery and once the recovery is finished I rebooted the system and then this message and I'm stuck here.

  I don't have any disc that came with the computer because it was very long ago already. I tried to download the 'Home Edition Set Up disk for Floppy Boot Installation of Windows XP"Microsoft, but I can't launch the ff:

  Windows XP Home Edition
  Windows XP Home Edition SP1
  Windows XP Home Edition SP2

  I can't create the configuration of disk for home edition, SP1, and SP2 because this computer I use currently is a 64 bit and no floppy drive. That's why I downloaded this instead:

  Windows XP Service Pack 3 - file to Image CD ISO-9660

  I burned a DVD ROM, but I don't know what to do next. After burning, I reinserted the disc to your computer from the active autorun. Then I inserted the disc for my Windows XP that has "System Configuration Error" and I tried to restart it but theres just no autoplay or anything that the computer always crosses the "System Configuration Error" message and I don't know how to access the set up disc.
