Windows XP Professional Disc is bad. How to make a copy?

While Re-Installing Windows XP I have incountered an error indicating that the installation disc is bad and cannot be read. The drive worked for the first three steps up to the installation preparation. During the stage of installing Windows with 39 Minutes, I left the Error encounterd. I tried several times to clean disk as indicated by the error and tried several times to re try. Nothing works. Is there a way to get a new copy of XP Professional that uses my registration code?

I don't know if you can still do it NOW, but before XP being interrupted you could call Microsoft and order a replacement. In my opinion, what they charged $30 including shipping. I know at least one person who had to go this route for an OEM copy.

Alternatively, you can ask around you, your friends and acquaintances for their copy of XP and see if all will accept your product key. Once you find one that will take your key, you should be good.  If they are concerned about piracy, report you request only a copy of the CD and tell them specifically not product key.

  • Windows 7 Professional... How to get access to security to view my external hard drives and external flash dirves

    I am a first time user to windows 7 Professional and need to learn how to access files that are connected to the computer by an external flash drive or an external hard drive.

    External or external flash drives hard drives can be connected to windows 8 computers or windows xp to view the files, but when then identical external or external flash drives hard drives are connected to two computers with windows 7 Professional there are settings automatically don ot all access to the external hard drive or flash drive external files.

    When the computer display, it displays the external hard drive.

    When I left click top produces a pop up with the title bar: location is not available

    Content: H: | is not accessible.

    Access is denied.

    When I right click on the hard drive and then click the Security tab, it displays:

    Name of the object: H: |

    To continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.

    Do you want to continue?

    Then I clicked on continue and it displays:

    Owner

    You do not have permission to view this object's security properties.  To view its security properties, you can try to take possession of the object.  As owner, you can also control who gets the permissions on the object.  Please note that once you take possession, the previous owner may not have access to the object.

    To try to take possession of the object, select an account from the list, and then click OK.

    Name of the object: H: |

    Current owner: unable to display current owner.

    Change in ownership to:

    the two choices are my name or administrators

    I then chose an and apply and ok and it did not work.

    I then chose the other and apply and ok and it did not work.

    Then I clicked on other users or groups and entered everyone and that no longer works.

    I am the only user of this computer brand new.

    When I click on accounts Panel then user control and security for the family and then user accounts, it displays my name as administrator password.

    What are the steps that I can buy an external hard drive or buy a flash drive or use the ones I already have and use them with this computer which has windows 7 Professional?

    How is the switch of the property did not work?

    I went back to safety again and this time stayed at the bottom for special permissions or advanced settings.

    And yet when I kept getting location is not available

    H:\ is not accessible.

    Access is denied.

    How do change you windows 7 Professional so that you can have access to your own files on an external hard drive or an external flash drive.

    Please list the steps.

    Thank you

    This problem has been resolved in collaboration with support of higher HP for Z book 17 mobile workstation.

    Steps:

    (1) determines that it is not NTFS problem

    (2) using the MSCONFIG the problem has been isolated to a single service

    When this service has been disabled and after reboot, the problem of access to the files is resolved.

    Results: HP had installed software on the HP Z book 17 laptop or mobile workstation which, by default, block communication with external hard drives and flash drives external.

    This HP Client Security software replaces or blocks all right click changes settings become apparent.  It blocks the change of ownership.  It blocks the administrator privileges.  It blocks all is used.

    The HP Client Security software has been changed and changed to deny privileges (default setting) to allow the communication with external drives.  When you go into the setting for this software, it is now a humming noise and maybe I need to download the drivers and software again to see if this problem is also corrected.

    Thanks for your comments.  I spent a lot of time on this and didn't understand why all right-click methods had failed.  The default software setting HP deny had trumped right click all changes.

  • How to make a copy of a DVD?

    I created a DVD of a video cassette (without using the PC).  I would now like to make a copy of this DVD (DVD - RW) on the PC.   I checked to make sure that the DVD plays, but on Windows Media Playewr, I don't see any easy to make a copy.  Appreciate any help.  Thank you, Steve

    First... just a suggestion... using a slow burn speed
    produces a more reliable copy.

    If you have software installed Nero should have
    an option for copying DVDs.

    Also, the following method can be your answer...

    The following freeware can create an ISO Image
    that allows to burn copies. Once you have the
    image created... you can use it to burn as many copies
    as you need.

    FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Download ImgBurn:
    http://www.Digital-Digest.com/software/download.php?sid=470&SSID=0&did=1
    (The download is: SetupImgBurn_2.5.5.0.exe)

    (During the installation there will be an option to install
    Shortcuts of UniBlue and the "Ask Toolbar"... you can
    you want to deselect those)

  • How to make a copy of the address iPhone 6s list automatically fill?

    Recently, I left my previous company after working there for 15 years.  I was able to transfer ownership of my work mobile phone number to become my personal phone number, even if I had to buy a new iphone.  I was also able to transfer my contact list on my new phone.  However, it seems that the iphone has copies of many "extra" contact email addresses I used in the past that are not included in my contacts.  These additional addresses appear when AutoFill of email on my phone.  I would like a copy of all these 'auto fill' email addresses for later use.

    Some other background notes:

    • These addresses are not in the choice of auto-complete when you create an email in my outlook from home computer account; only on my iPhone.  It seems to be specific to the iPhone.
    • I have no other accounts of e-mail (like GMail) where these addresses are registered.

    Can anyone suggest how to get a copy/download of all the e-mail addresses of my iPhone 6s AutoFill?

    iOS has no method of retrieving such a list.
