where to download the windows xp home edition cd

My OS has been corrupted, and I could not repair the installation. I do not have the cd with me, but the license is in my laptop. I want to download the cd (or iso image) so that I can fix my laptop OS

Hello Ratheesh33,

There is no source of Microsoft for you as a user to download files or installation iso files for Windows XP Edition family.  As such, download XP Home cannot be verified as authentic or malware free and should be avoided like the plague.

Your post implies that you have the disc elsewhere.  Communicate with friends or family near the disk and ask them to send it to you.

Or you can order a the manufacturer of your laptop recovery disk, if it is still available.

  • Where can I download the Windows Vista Home Edition ISO?

    I need editing family vista? is there a way to get the iso I have my product key, but need the disc...

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact the manufacturer of your computer, if you have an OEM license and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead

    Use this guide for the retail of Vista licenses too:

    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:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

This limit includes all transport and combined resources sharing protocols. For Windows XP Home Edition, the maximum number of other computers that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network is five.

    If your computer was shipped with pre-installed XP it's called OEM.  If you want to re - install in this case you would need a copy of XP OEM.  A detail would not work with your OEM key.

  • The Windows XP Home upgrade

    I have a computer on which Windows Me had initially on this, but I later updated to Windows XP Home Edition. Now the computer's hard drive is wiped and I am trying to reinstall the Windows XP Home Edition, but I don't have an original Windows Me disk. I called Dell and they said that they cannot help me because they have more than the available software and that they included with they system. I have all the disks that came with my system, and this isn't one of them. I would like to reinstall Windows XP but it won't let me spend the elibibilty upgrade check without year ME disc. I have the sticker of the product key on the side of my computer, but not the disk. Does anyone know how to make this work? Thank you.

    The only way to make this work is to provide a CD of an older operating system the installation of XP asks you to put the qualifying media. It doesn't have to be your missing drive; It can be a friend ME disc or even one for Win98. If anyone you know has a Win98 / ME disc you can borrow, you can take the device to a local computer professional for the installation (not for free of course) or buy a full version (not upgrade) of XP. NewEgg and Amazon still have XP for sale. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
