Want to reinstall XP but the computer does not recognize the cd drive and does not allow for any installation.
Accidentally deleted some system files and now the computer won't allow me to install anything. Tried to install a new cd player to replace a corrupt, but it does not recognize drive. All the driver and OS install CD. Help.
Fix missing files:
Try to run the checker system (CFS) files. Press start, select run, type: SFC/scannow
SFC will ask your installation disc (which you must have if you are going to re - install), put it in the drive when requested. Leave the SFC to replace all missing or corrupt files.
To resolve the startup problem:
Check your BIOS Setup and make sure the optical drive is enabled and listed before the hard drive in the boot order. When you start, there will be a message, "type any key to boot from the CD-ROM." Type any key (execpt shift, shift caps lock, NumLock, etc) will cause the CD to be initialized in the installation program. (I use the space bar, it's an easy target.)
In addition, it would be useful to know a few more things: 1) what edition and service pack level of Windows XP you are running? (2) what is the model and manufacturer of the optical drive, please?

I tried to format the C drive and then reinstall Windows Vista using the windows reinstall disk but I couldn't start in it. I restarted my computer, press the F12 key and selected boot from cd/dvd, but the computer still started in windows. My computer is Dell. If there is no solution, it is possible to reinstall windows without using the disc?

You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

Firefox has become very slow. It takes a lot of time to load any website. I reinstalled FF but the rest of the problem.
As a test, I downloaded Chrome and it is much faster.
But I love FF and would be very happy if you can help me solve this problem.Hi Reos,
When you reinstall Firefox it always uses your old profile with all the old things that you had. That said, you're lucky, there is a new feature that lets you "Reset" of Firefox. This will remove some of the pieces that might cause problems while it keeps your bookmarks and other important things safe.
Check it out and let me know if it works: Refresh Firefox – reset the parameters and modules

I did a backup of the computer on my old HD 110 GB. Install a new 500 GB HD and restore complete pc but windows onliy see the 100 GB on the C drive and the 9.99 on the D drive that were on my old HD and do not see the additional 400 GB. How I can solve this problem.
Hi abgolf3,
The question may be how the new hard drive has been formatted. Take a look at the way in which the reader is implemented by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > double-click on computer management > double-click storage. Is all the space on the disk are responsible? If so, take a look at these two documents for your problem:
Format a hard drive or partition to NTFS format
