Windows xp professional service pack 1 required

I recently reformatted my hard drive and want to re install windows xp pro 2002 of the original disc.
After you start the installation from the cd, I now get a message asking for the service pack 1 cd (which I did not) and the establishment will not continue without it.
Where can I get a copy of this disc please?

Hello

It is possible that the installation did not finish and your CD (which could be a CD of Windows XP service pack 1 installation) still needed to be in the optical drive.

In the case and the installation is really finished, what triggers this message?

You can download stand-alone service packs. Indeed, in order to get a job of Windows updates, you need to download and install these service packs...

Check your level of service current pack...

  • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
  • Examine what is listed in the system: section

If there is no designated service pack level, first you need to download SP2 from...

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

.. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2 (SP2 includes SP1 and SP1A).

Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.

    http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=Gen

    If there is then Windows XP Download drivers to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them.
    starting with the mother/chipset, SATA, Firewire card drivers (1394), LAN, USB, Audio, Etc., and so on.

    If there is no driver XP not listed then you model does not support XP, you can watch mode "XP".

    Not only did I always say this, I think you have discovered that it will probably be necessary.

    You might be able to do something with SFC/scannow , or be Windows XP, possibly a repair install might fix things (if you have a Windows XP with the Service Pack 3 installation CD or can integrate a new installation CD for Windows XP SP3).

    SPACE does the work.  I then restarted the update Windows components and then successfully downloaded and installed 9 security updates.

    I understand the fact that you still recommend a format/install. Not having done it would be prudent to see how the operating system is running and if I have any further questions or you feel it is too risky on a computer used to pay bills and perform other necessary transactions. The computer is older and the cost may not be a return value.  I wait your answer before I post any other questions.  I thank you for your time and expertise.

    I've been running Windows 7 Service Pack since I got the computer, but in the last two years a "this copy of windows is not genuine" made my black background.

    He asked me for a product key, the thing is that windows 7 profesional was already installed and it did not bring any installation disc.

    When I searched in my PC, I found a small label that had the product key on the side.  The problem is that the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium!   I do not have a disk to install windows 7 Home premium, nor have I any money to buy another drive or key.

    What can I do to uninstall windows 7 pro SP1 without losing all my files and install windows 7 Home premium!

    Help!

    This has nothing to do with Service Pack 1, but rather than the version that you have installed and the key you have will not work.

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.

    Dear God. I can't believe how much a long time ago, I asked this question. Over 2 years later I see something in my Inbox (right now). Honestly, I know more ask this question.

    And more now, I would say try the upgrade to Windows 2000 if you happen to have a product key. Then go to Windows XP. If not, is it possible to restore Windows 98 updates? Perhaps the latest edition of Service causes a conflict with the upgrade. You be left with a clean cloth. I'm curious, that you still have a machine running Windows 98? What is the material/specs on this platform? I can't believe anyone is still out there running old technology like this to use out of it.
