Windows XP Pro - software driver

I had a hard drive in my bad go Dell 8300 desktop.  At some data backed up and managed to retrieve the rest with an Office Depot service.  It is on a separate protable drive.  I have the product key for Windows XP, but cannot find the cd to reload the operating system (windows xp pro) to my new hard drive.  What are my options?  Can I have access to the software via Microsoft internet?  Steve in Pawleys

If you installed a new drive in your computer, your best option is to contact Dell for recovery media.  I don't know if Dell is offering XP recovery media.

Normally, I wouldn't say eBay, but there is this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-DELL-Windows-XP-Professional-SP3-disc-reinstallation-CD-Free-Shipping-/370688721750?pt=US_Other_Software&hash=item564ec50356 that should work with the product key on the label on your computer.  You will also need to download the correct XP drivers: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/dimension-8300?s=dhs& ~ ck = mn

Don't forget to install an antivirus before you connect to the Internet and do Windows Update the first place you visit.

    You can - clean installation however.  No direct path from Windows XP to Windows 7.

    If the machine is old, but - I wouldn't bother.  You will end up by it hate because it is slow and probably blame the operating system.

    The upgrade to Windows 7 is not a solution for the loss of connectivity to a printer - not a logic.

    If you download and install the latest appropriate WIndows XP complete software driver for your printer and maybe upgrade the firmware of the printer itself-, it would probably solve your problem.  If you use it as a wireless printer (it is printed through your network, but not connected by a cable [ethernet]) so you can check for updgrades to the firmware of your router (level) and reconfigure your network completely wireless if you start with a good foundation.

  • EliteBook 2570p: Windows 7 Pro OEM activation error after reinstall onto the new HARD drive

    Greetings!

    I had to replace my laptop HARD drive and then clean installed windows iso downloads, burned on a dvd.

    I first tried Windows 10 (build 1511), then Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1. Or activate using the key OEM COA sticker.

    I tried MS activation of phone also, but they said that they could not generate a confirmation key. They tried to transfer me to "get windows up and running support" but could not get through.

    The first activation says invalid key without being connected to the internet, which makes me wonder if there is an inconsistency between my product key and SLIC data, (which I do not have much understanding).

    The service 'Ask Tech' at Microsoft tried to sell me a license at a high cost, which I don't think I should need because I have the license OEM Windows 10 retail.

    I don't have HP recovery disks (and did not expect to need).

    Any advice would be welcome!

    (the location is the South Africa)

    NoKillBill

    The problem is that you should NOT use Win7 ISO downloads to reinstall your PC.  Given that your PC came with a preinstalled HP Win7 OEM version, and is NOT available for download, I have to assume that what you used to reinstall a retail version.

    And the problem is that the commercial version only lights up with a retail key.  The product key that came with your PC and is printed on the COA sticker, is a key to OEM HP product - and that cannot be used to activate any other than the version from HP OEM version of Win7.

    Your best bet at this point, is to restore your PC using HP recovery media - and then perform the upgrade of Win10 after that.

    It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

    Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.

    Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

  • Cannot install Windows 10 Pro bootcamp support software

    I have recently installed Windows 10 Pro on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2015, retina), OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21). After Windows restarted, bootcamp has started to install drivers from support and hung on the Realtek driver. Let him all night but he still has not made progress, so I closed the installation program. Now I can't find how to restart, or to download the drivers and install them manually. I had to hold the option key when you restart back into OS X. According to the oldest documents, I tried rerunning the bootcamp assistant to download USB drivers, but this version gives me the option to restore my drive to its original state. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you.

    I couldn't find a place to download the drivers for bootcamp support and discovered in training camp 6, the drivers are downloaded on a separate partition on the SSD (instead of USB drive). So I wiped the installation of windows and repartee with the intention to copy the downloaded software (which I did). Yet once bootcamp hooked when installing the Realtek driver and did some googling. I found this post that solved my problem. https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/6567790?TSTART=0

  • EliteBook 8460p: loading Windows 7 Pro on a new Hard Drive

    In a previous question, I said that I bought this laptop from a sales site to the auction and needed to put an OS on another hard drive because this laptop did not come with one.  I think the laptop is a laptop company because when I entered the serial number came with the operating system in business, but when I look under the battey product key it says Windows 7 Pro.  I don't for the recovery disc for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, because that's what says the key.  Will I have problems if I try and do a clean install?  It is that I got a 250 GB drive of my broken hp mini that I jumped in the Elitebook and it started right up to WIN 10 - this is the BONE of my mini was running before he fell.  Then, I checked the WIN 10 is not triggered and I couldn't be active even with the broken mini product key. To make a long story short when I use the recovery disk to do a clean install, which I intend to do, the recovery disc will read the product key for the company (because I don't have that) or I'll be able to use the product key numbers which can be found on the label.  Thanks in advance for reading this and for taking the time to answer.

    Hello:

    W7 Pro recovery disks, you ordered from HP for your laptop do not need a product key and will be automatically enabled after the installation of the software.

    You can do a clean install without problem.

    Windows will not turn on without a new product key when you put a hard drive on a PC and put it in another.

    In other words, for W10 have enabled on your p 8460, you would have had a W10 product key that you do not.  The button upgrade W10 does not work from another PC has been updated to W10 using this key.

  • HP Pavilion 15 lowered a score of 8.1 for Windows 64-bit for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit driver problem

    I just downgraded a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook, which was just recently bought with Windows 8.1 64-bit installed.

    The owners could not get with Windows 8, so they bought Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    After changing the option of Secure Boot UEFI BIOS, I installed windows 7 for them, installed the drivers from the site HP Web for this model of laptop, but there are a few drivers who will not not turn on.

    But there is a PCI device in device without driver manager now, details of the error are:

    PCI DEVICE

    Hardware ID

    There is also another error of unknown device listed, the details are:

    The unknown device properties

    Hardware ID

    I don't know if this is related to the first error message, but I thought I'd list them here anyway.

    In addition, try to install the software Cyberlink listed on page of drivers for this laptop, Cyberlink Director Photo software, the software Cyberlink PowerDVD and PowerDirector Cyberlink software all refuse to install.

    PowerDVD and PhotoDirector gave "Software can be installed in the machine allowed" error message and PowerDirector gave the error message "is not a valid HP drive, the installer stops now.

    If someone could please help in telling me that drivers are missing, (I enter all the machine ID in the box HP drivers, pilots said it remained for this machine, installed correctly, just these some problems) I would be most gratefull and the owners of laptops would be too!

  • Maximum supported size of HARD drive for HP Elitebook 8440p Windows 7 Pro 64 bit runing

    Hello, I just bought a HP Elitebook 8440p "off lease" of Tigerdirect and seeks to upgrade the two memory (from 4 GB to 8 GB) and put in the eligible of the biggest HARD drive I can. Either a 512 GB SSD or a 1 TB WD hybrid WD BLACK2 (1 TB HDD / 120 GB SSD Combo drive in a single package!). I would like to see more large disk addressable by using Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit OS since I don't seem able to find this info on the web. HP offers only only a 256 GB SSD in its specifications. but I didn't know if it was do limitations of BIOS or availability at the time of production, even for the HARD drive to 512 GB.

    Also, I would like to know if 9.5 mm compliant Bay that it needs to be for the WD drive. Can't find that either, and while the new laptop has not yet happen, all measure exactly the same way regarding what works and what simply cannot be "cheated".

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and NO information to that effect would be Greatl appreciated!

    Essentially the reason why you do not have a maximum size of hard drive is because there is not everything. Between SATA and 64-bit OS', worrying about maximum size of hard drive is a thing of the past. Are the biggest readers found in the manual, as you suspected him, just a function of the market at the time of manufacture. It was a few years ago now, it is so understandable that the offerings were "at the time" more thin than now.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    Page 4-9 shows the procedure of the Bay and the replacement of the hard disk. The Bay is made for a 9.5 mm thickness 2.5-inch wide SATA hard but the new 7 mm readers also works. The black hybrid drive requires some software (included in the package) to treat the two drives in Windows and I read a modest amount of disappointment in the documentation about them. If you can afford the 512 GB SSD go in this direction and you will not be sorry. I use a Samsung 840 Evo and it has worked perfectly for me for almost 2 years and the most recent 850 I hear is even better.

    Hello!

    Is this possible? I know it is slow due to the speed of USB2, but it is only for rapid tests and do not want to mess with my internal hardware (HARD drive has an old Windows XP Pro. Installation of SP3 with lock hard ups with videos - need to understand if it is my software or hardware) in my current computer.

  • My drive hard netbook is too small for Windows Xp Pro

    I tried to load a new Windows Xp Pro on my Asus eee Pc 4 g with a hard disk of 4Gb SD. It was Linux I want. The microsoft site, I read stated that it would use 1.5 GB of space. I keep running out of space with all updates. I made a mistake by putting this new copy oem on the netbook. It was activated a month ago and I loaded it twice because it is so big. I compressed drive and reduced the system restore. I don't want to lose this copy and think I should be able to load it on a machine with a bigger drive. I can charge it with the same key or what I need to lose the software. I know it's my mistake, but I think I should be able to reload them on a machine with a bigger drive and save the cost of the software. Microsoft will allow me to move the software? Perhaps they will assign another key? Thank you

    I made a mistake by putting this new copy oem on the netbook.
    I should be able to load it on a machine with a bigger drive
    I can charge it with the same key or what I need to lose the software.

    Sorry, what OEM can't be moved to another computer.

    You can buy a hard drive more and put it in the netbook, and then install your OEM copy.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

    Microsoft will allow me to move the software? Perhaps they will assign another key? Thank you

    You will need to buy another copy to install on another computer, if you can find a copy of XP.

    You can purchase Windows 7 here (or at a local store):
