Windows XP Pro Installation Disc

I know that you do not supported Windows XP more, but... I had to replace the hard drive on my laptop. Now, I need to reinstall the OS, but of course, have no installation CD. It's Windows XP Pro and the product key is on the label. I want to stay with XP for now. Is there anywhere I can download the installation on a CD disc?

Unfortunately not.  But is you know someone who has a Windows XP computer with the XP CD "commercial" version see if they'll let you borrow it so you can re - install XP.

Once installation is complete you check the manufacture of mobile support site to see if they still list the drivers XP, you will need to download and install.

Also consider making a backup of the Image on an external USB drive as a means of protection if you need to re - install XP, simply use the most recent backup) of the drive if you ae able to install and activate XP using your key successfully.

    You can download an ISO and then do a CD to install on another PC.  Chosse one of the links in the research I've done. Good luck!

    1. I ran bootcamp.

    I searched these forums a bit to find answers. I tried to copy the file Windows.iso on an external USB drive and that the selection as the source image and even the achievement of results as shown above.

    I looked at the menu "Actions" in the Bootcamp Assistant and that the only available element is 'Download Support Windows software' or something similar. I did and saved a folder on my Mac desktop, but it is nothing new.

    If anyone knows why the Windows Installer cannot find the ISO file or what steps I must take to install Windows Pro 10, I should be grateful if you would hear about it.

    Thank you.

    Followed, after contact Apple support, by sending in diagnosis and return just GENERALS of Apple engineers... I did a thorough cleaning of my PowerBook. Using the command-R during restart, started in Recovery Mode or what it's called, used the disk utility, wiped and formatted the drive. Made a new fresh install of OS X el Capitan. Updated. THEN, I installed Windows with BootCamp Assistant. The process worked. My hunch is that use Time Machine to power my new machine was the culprit. I am betting that Time Machine copied on the parameters of my previous machine (a mid-2011 Powerbook), on this new Powerbook from 2015. That's the only difference. So it is now resolved.

  • Windows XP Pro installation

    I have a pavilion dv6108nr laptop.  The original HD 80 G crashed.  Bought a new 160 G HD and tried to install Windows XP Pro.  Once the installation of XP has loaded from the cd and I pushed "enter" to install, I got the message "Setup has not found any hard drives installed in your computer." ...

  • Windows xp pro installation re...

    Hi all. I think I made a boo boo! My computer was getting slower and slower and this hour glass symbol appears too often so I thought that I reinstall Win XP Pro drive cleaning and start like new. Then I started the computer, put my XP Pro disc in the drive, he asked me what I wanted to do, I said to re - install xp and off he went. He asked me for the key, I entered, it continued on more and then stops, restarts and boots from the CD. Just at the moment where he gets to the part where its ready to install and I have to press 'enter' to do this, it stops again. I restart manually and still when it comes to where I have to 'ENTER' to continue, she stops again. I tried the same thing with xp Home Edition, but the same thing happens before "ENTER". So now I can't use the computer at all. It is a computer tailored from 2007. All I get now is a blue screen when its configuration, and before that I "GET" his farm down. Any help please.

    Thank you in advance,

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • Windows 8 Pro Installation error 0xE0000100

    When installing Windows 8 Pro, when I start the installation, I get an error saying

    "Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Check that the installation sources are accessible and restart the installation. "Error code: 0xE0000100.

    I'm not able to install Windows and I don't have any OS installed on the PC. What should I do?

    I just had this error and correct him.

    In my case, I had an older version on Windows on the drive, but it really was a problem with the disk partition.

    I started on a DVD of Win7, but I think a Win8 DVD should have available also.

    Select the repair, since you don't have any OS installed you must get to a command prompt.  It's easier to do on the Win8 DVD, choose Advanced Options, and then command prompt.

    The DVD of Win7, I had to choose repair.  He asks for your image.  Once again, since a new installation you do not have an image, click on the X as you would to close a program.  It takes you into the 'advanced repair options' and choose command line.

    Run DISKPART, and he runs the utility.  He always seems to be a DOS window, but it is actually the DISKPART util, in that you are.  Change a drive letter and a folder to read only DISKPART

    While in there, type HELP and it shows you all available commands.

    1. SELECT disk 0 (only drive in the system)
    2. LIST of partition
    3. SELECT PARTITION 1
    4. DELETE Partition 1 (I had already done while it was attached as a USB on my Win7 computer using the computer Manager, but he was still displayed as it when I posted using the Win8)
    5. Typed the LIST again once and there are no partitions.

    It is not case-sensitive.  Type HELP if you need to find the exact command.  Type HELP command-NAME to get help on a specific command.

    Replaced the Windows 8 DVD in the PC and ran... install everything correctly now

  • PC refuses to boot whatever it is based on Windows 8 - OS, installation disc and the repair disk!

    Hi all!

    Once more, I'll have to the fantastic MS Answers community to learn more. My PC (custom, build Windows 8 Pro x 64) has decided that it won't start after downgrading my system BIOS (it should be called whenever the system loses power, which is not good). In short, here's what happened and what I did to try to resolve the problem:
    • Hard reset the BIOS and set it up again - no change.
    • Re-flashing the BIOS with a floppy to start BACK - no change.
    • Restore defaults (in BIOS) - no change.
    • Try to start disk repair Windows 8 - Windows logo appears for a minute or two, and then a small message will appear in the upper left corner. The system reboots too quickly after the message shows to know what he says.
    • Start on a custom bootable CD and run chkdsk /f /r on the OS disk - TONS of errors appear and the program says that they are all fixed after finishing.
    • Try to start it from the OS disk - BIOS recognize drive bootable but system restarts before Windows logo is visible (it's the same problem I had before attempting to solve the problem).
    • Try to start on the ERD in Windows 8 - same mistake as last time.
    • Try to start installation of Windows 8 DVD - the same error as the ERD in Windows 8.
    As usual, I am lost on how to solve this problem, which is quite annoying because I work part-time as a helpdesk technician. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I assume that your bios is corrupted somehow...

    I know that you had mentioned, you were a problem and having to do a hard reset each time that the machine loses power... It's happened just ask me if you tried to replace the battery on the motherboard that handles the bios...

    I also think that if the bios is damaged you have to re-flash either with the same version or a newer version...

    I don't know how this could suddenly be a problem on two machines if... Unless it's a bios setting that has been changed, or maybe that they BOTH may need a new battery?...

    That being said, it seems that there is a problem with the machines boot devices.  My best advice would be to get into the BIOS and make sure that your boot drive is first in line for the startup process.

    PLEASE NOTE:

Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
