Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that give repair install (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

    I am trying to reinstall vista on another laptop and when I get to the last step (end Installation...) it stops, about 70% of the way through.  Now what? I tried to repeat the process about 6 times now!

    Sorry for the confusion.  I must be useless to English.

    Forget the two laptops.
    I have a problem with a laptop that I tell you all (the Inspiron 1720).
    The disc that I use is labeled as a Windows Vista reinstall disk and provided with the computer when I bought it.  I'm not trying to use it on another computer.

    Reference Dell it is a problem with a process of recovery of Windows and, therefore, a problem of Microsoft.

    See you soon

    Problems with the Dell restore process, contact Dell.
    Dell wrote their recovery process and provided you with this DVD, NOT Microsoft...

    It is their software.

    Ask them for a different recovery DVDs.

    You say that the hard drive has failed.

    He could have more than just tough that failed.
    You can have other hardware issues.

    Hardware issues are beyond the scope of these Forums.

    Good luck with Dell.

  • Hi im doing a fresh install of xp, but when I get to the product id it says invalid

    Hi im doing a fresh install of xp, but when I get to the product id it says invalid... However I followed the steps to find the product key on the disk, I lost the sticker. any reason why this product key is not working? the hard drive is formatted and Ive tried several times now more double and triple check numbers etc, but still without success... dosent make any sence why he does not accept the product key, the computer is not connected to the internet (dose it have to be?) Please help

    Not enough information, Andrew.

    If you used a CD with a retail version of XP Home (you never did say what type of XP you had!) and if you carelessly lost the COA with the product key if you use magic Jellybean Finder or Belarc Advisor and if you faithfully transcribed the key and if you used the correct installation of new and correctly typed in the key CD (be careful not to confuse a) 8 with a B or a S with a 5, etc.), this method will not work.

    But we do not know the brand and model of your PC. We do not know what method the manufacturer provided to return the PC to its original state. We do not know which method you have elected to use to perform the installation of "fresh".

    In addition, it is impossible to find the product key on the disk (unless it's something like an OEM CD mark Dell that contains a golden master key, which of course cannot be used on a Dell PC!).

    As far as we know is you formatted the hard drive. So, even in the cases where you were, at some point, installed a version valid retail XP home and really lost the COA/product key and otherwise might have found the key to product using the SDM or Belarc, erase you the key when you formatted the drive!

    If you have purchased the commercial version and still have the receipt (proof of purchase), read this page:

  • I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

    I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

    Please advise...

    The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

    What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

    Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

    You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

    I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

    For the storage of the files it is fine.

    For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

    And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

    Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

  • Hi, I have a problem in the installation, how to install acrobat 8.1 pro in 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise is existing in Windows XP.  I just want to transfer the license Adobe pro 8 Windows 7 64 bit. What is the procedure?

    Hi, I have a problem in the installation, how to install acrobat 8.1 pro in 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise is existing in Windows XP.  I just want to transfer the license Adobe pro 8 Windows 7 64 bit. What is the procedure?

    You need to install 8 AA on the new OS with your current S/N (the license allows 2 installs). After the installation, do all the updates if you expect any chance of 8 AA to run on the system. If the updates will be installed not in the menu help, then go to ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/ and install updates in the order. People seem to have been successful with 32 - bit systems and some have reported success with a 64 bit system. After installation, print something to the Adobe PDF printer to make sure it works. If this works, you should be in good shape as printing treat the bottleneck. There is a solution, but you shouldn't have it.

    If all works well, then go back to the old machine and disable this installing and uninstalling. Don't forget that your configuration is not supported by Adobe. It seems with every new version of Windows, MS seeks to make the user to upgrade the other hardware and software for compatibility. There may be legitimate reasons for this action, but the game just seems to be Ms.
