Want to reinstall Windows XP Home

I want to reinstall windows xp family in my system. I'm not finding anything from the recovery disc. one of my colleagues has installed a windows xp pro without my knowledge and I have service pack update problems I get messages saying illegal software. Help, please.

Hi Christophe,

The normal technique to use the product recovery CD is down the 'C' key while turning on the notebook. You should here a series of beeps after what Notepad should prompt for the first recovery CD to be inserted.

  • I need to reinstall Windows Vista home Premium, but I don't have it on the disc, I got a serial number.

    I've upgraded to windows 7, the upgrade requires a previous version of windows must be installed before it can be used.

    When I installed the upgrade first, it worked perfectly, unfortunately I do not have a set of recovery discs before upgradeing from Vista to 7 (stupid I know!).

    I bought the components to upgrade my PC and want to reinstall windows, but cannot without Windows Vista Home Premium disc, and I can't find anywhere to download them, or find someone willing to let me copy their discs (I only need a copy discs, I have my own serial number).

    True to form, I also forgot to make disks of backup to my laptop before it got a virus (edition windows Home premium), feeling very stupid.

    If anyone knows where I can get copies of these discs, it would releive a lot of stress.

    That you have a legable Vista product key, then use these installation files to make a .iso and then bootable DVD/USB as shown here:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/Microsoft-Windows-and-Microsoft-Office-downloads.aspx

    This will install Windows Vista with the activation of the phone. Note using your Windows 7 update product key directly with the good Windows 7 .iso file directly should work and you should not need to install Vista. You can, or perhaps not to activate by phone.

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards
    Amal-Microsoft Support.

    OP: reinstall windows xp home edition

    I am trying to Setup. I changed the BIOS to read the CD of resettlement (never been used). I pressed F2 when starting and then "press any key to boot from the CD-ROM. I'm sure I did it correctly, as I did a Windows XP reinstall on another computer before with no problems.

    Anyway, then I get this message:

    File \i386\biosinfo.inf could not be loaded. The error code is 47872. Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.

    What is the problem and how do I get to the installation?

    see if it will let you enter the recovery console, This will tell you how (option 2)
    When you get the recovery console, type 'copy c:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\biosinfo.inf c:\WINDOWS\inf' without the qoutes. There should be a space between the copy and the c: and the first destination (at the end of the inf of the first part) and the second (just before the c: of the second) another one, all this should be no space. If that doesn't take care of the problem, then heres how do the installation of repair you asked
