The installation program starts,

He then gives a compatibility report:
"the computer has started using the windows installation disc remove the installation disc and restart your computer so that windows starts normally.

Product ID invalid when you try to install Windows XP on VMware.
XP installation of VMwareHello
I have a PC under win 7. and I am trying to Flash an old router to wireless access point for a spot of dead in my house. To cut a long story short, I need to Flash the router using a software program that does that on XP (I tried the compatibility options in Windows 7 and it does not work). Then I put on the implementation of a virtual machine using VMware and an old copy of XP, I had. However, when I try and install XP I get the error that the product id is not valid. Now, I know that the software is legitimate - it was part of a XP operating system provided with an HP laptop - so my question is how I can get through the installation? I will not buy another XP code - after all I will ever use again once I finished the flash - and for the same price, I could buy a new router!. I just want to save the Earth, a small piece of discharge potential and save myself $20!Any help appreciatedMHi MarkPinches,

Hello
When I try to install Windows XP Home (including SP3) on my new L350D-11 has a blue screen after loading the drivers.
When booting with Kubuntu Live CD (8.x) appears an error message: / sbin/modprobe out anomalous.At least I need Windows XP because of some programs that do not work under Vista. Is it possible to install XP?
Hello
Hmm I think the BSOD appears because you didn t add SATA drivers in the Win XP operating system.
However, you can try to install Win XP on your laptop without the use of the SATA driver, but you can change the SATA AHCI in the BIOS in compatible mode.
