upggrading a windows xp pro service pack 3 with the new card mother and pure install using the original disk of xp with service pack 2

I have an auto build Windows XP pro with service pack 3 that is upwards and I feel the need to upgrade to a new motherboard and processor causes memory and I know that when I do a clean install with my original disk, I lose service pack 3 that will then lose me the Microsoft support is anyway that I can backup service pack 3 for use with what will be considered a brand new computer

See you soon

The site is authentic.  You have two options when you do your relocation:

Method 1

  1. Download SP3 form the Microsoft site and burn it to a cd or copy it to a flash drive.
  2. Reinstall Windows with your original Windows XP CD.
  3. Use the copy of SP3 that you burned on the CD or copied to the flash drive and update the machine to SP3.  Note that if you have an original CD of 'gold' of Windows XP without service pack that you install SP1a or SP2 before you install SP3, SP2 is available here , download and save it with SP3 before making your relocation.

Method 2

  1. Download SP3 from the Microsoft site and it wake to your Windows XP CD.
  2. Install Windows XP with your slipstreamed CD and your installation will be in SP3, when installation is complete you will not need to install service packs, you'll just have to do some other updates that have been released after SP3.

The http://lifehacker.com/386526/slipstream-service-pack-3-into-your-windows-xp-installation-cd is legitimate, it only gives you instructions on how to create and burn a CD of SP3 slipstreamed Windows XP.  If this seems too daunting then use method 1 to install Windows.

Both methods are very good but method 2 allows a nicer cleaner installation, everything is installed to SP3 level and there are no remnants of previous service packs.  While creating the slipstreamed CD may appear to be a time consuming task, in the end, it will be a time saver and afterwards if you ever have problems with the installation of Windows you may need this cd SP3 slipstreamed to all repairs on the installation.  You can create the SP3 cd now and do it ready and at hand for future needs.

    Relax and breathe.

    FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed.  Back to all the way back to IE6.  You want other patches before you get those.  Reboot after doing this.

    You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

    Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

  • LIMIT OF THE SERVER COMPUTER (WINDOWS 7 PRO SERVICE PACK 1)

    Hello

    Nice day.

    I have a server with window 7 pro service pack 1 computer. AFAIK, there are up to 20 eligible device to connect to the shared folder.

    However they allow up to 11 computer to access the shared folder on the server computer.

    When the 12 computer tried to access the shared folder on the server computer, it pop of a statement that he said already reach the maximum of the relationship.

    I confuse myself because the connection will not exceed 20 connection and he just stuck the next connection to the folder shared on the server computer.

    Please advise us of the solutions to this problem.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Tony

    Beyond the declaration is the statement you mention?

    However now only 11 device (computer) which connect to the shared folder. So that means that only 11 connection. When 2 or 3 more connections to the folder shared, he pop of a declaration that he State already reach the maximum of the relationship.

    It comes to education, to which I was referring.

    I don't know why you should be unable to do more than 11 connections. In this case, I use Google to search, type the exact error message in the search box. Chances are that someone else has had the same problem and found a solution.

  • Where can I download Windows 7 Pro ISO? I have the product key

    Where can I download Windows 7 Pro ISO? I have the product key

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

In some cases, due to changes in the material by different manufacturers, updates of the driver can cause an error.

Remove and rescan the device in the device, right click on the executable/installer file manager driver-> properties and select the Compatibility tab.

  • Windows 7 Pro - WAU is missing from the start menu

    Hello. Thanks in advance for your help. I have four computers with Windows 7 Pro. None of them are in a domain, and the users are administrators with disabled UAC.

    A computer that I am wanting to upgrade to Ultimate does not show the "Windows Anytime Upgrade" in the start menu. WAU is in the other three systems start menus, but not this one. YES - I am an administrator and it is professional edition. NO - I'm not on a domain and have not tinkered with Group Policy settings.

    When I go into the properties of the computer, the "get more features with a new edition of Windows 7" is also absent on the shot I want to improve. Any ideas?

    Where did you get your Windows 7 Professional licenses? Is it volume licensing?

    If you are unable to find the Express upgrade program, first of all, make sure that you are running a supported product, WAU is not compatible Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate because it is the most comprehensive editions of Windows 7. If you use the home edition Premium or professional and you are not able to find it, click Start > click on Control Panel. Click in the view by: list box and click large icons, then double-click the Anytime Upgrade Panel element.

    WAU is supported in the distributions of volume of Windows 7 Professional license?

    By default, it is disabled. It is likely, is likely to make an Express upgrade, but may be disabled by your network administrator in order to avoid upgrades of licenses for the company. Consulter consult with the person who manages your computer, find out if you can upgrade the machine.

    If the administrator access to the machine, try the following, click Start, type: gpedit.msc, and then press on enter on your keyboard.

    Expand User Configuration

    Expand Administrative Templates

    Expand Windows components

    Click Windows Anytime Upgrade

    Double-click on prevent Windows Anytime Upgrade of the race

    Double-click on prevent Windows Anytime Upgrade to run, select enabled, and then click on apply and OK

    Exit group policy

    Click Start, type: gpupdate.exe/force

    You must restart the computer and then you should be able to make an Express upgrade.

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html
    Please note this step #9

    If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista. The operator will give you all the numbers to ID of Confirmation if they accept that your copy of Vista is legitimate.
    NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Vista on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

What is the best way to address the issue? I keep my OS on a SSD and all the other stuff is on a separate HARD disk. Basically, I need to install the new chipset and other pilots MB.
