XP don't boot-computer did not come with the XP CD

XP boot not - need XP Recovery CD, but it came pre-loaded on my computer, w/no CD.  Any suggestions?

Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your drive HARD and correct all problems of integrity of system files caused by problems of power supply interruption and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do to get your system running.
Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.
If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.
This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.
You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.
The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:
xp_rec_con. ISO
Download the ISO from here:
Use this free and easy program to create your bootable CD:
Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.
You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are
done before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.
When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:
Press any key to boot from CD...
Installing Windows... going to pronounce.
Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.
Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)
You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).
You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same thing you see in the Explorer folder C:\WINDOWS.
RC allows commands the base - copy, rename, replace, delete file, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.
In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.
Running chkdsk is very well run even if she can't find any problems.
Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:
CHKDSK C: /r
Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.
You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.
Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.
You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.
Once finished the chkdsk/r, see if your system boots.  If this is not the case, to do this:
The next time that your system has rebooted, start tapping the F8 key until you see the menu Boot Options Advanced XP.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select:
Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
This will display the error message that you don't see when the system restarts.  This is what Windows is supposed to do when there a failure - it is supposed to automatically restart.  The error you see on the screen has your clues...
If you do not see the menu Options start Advancded or you do not have to turn it off automatic restart on option system in the list of choices, you need to try again until you do.  Start typing the F8 key earlier and more frequently as your system begins to come alive.  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again.

Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

    1. go to start and in the search type "Turn Windows willing or not.
    2. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
    3. find the multimedia functions and check the brand in the face of Windows Media Player.
    4 restart the computer

    Now, go to start, all programs. You must have Windows Media Player in the list of programs.

    Please let me know if it helps.

  • I already bought the movie HD, 'V for Vendetta', before it came with "iTunes Extras" but my purchased copy does not come with the Extras. Is there a way to fix this without having to buy the movie again?

    I already bought the movie HD, 'V for Vendetta', before it came with "iTunes Extras" but my purchased copy does not come with the Extras. Is there a way to fix this without having to buy the movie again?

    I was told that movies in the iTunes Store can be changed to include "iTunes Extras" if originally it did not come with extras. But there is a catch you get just the extras if you buy just the issue for the first time. If you have already purchased it, your version may not have the extras. This means that if you want the extras, buy the movie again.

    If you now get the Extras will depend on what the movie studio did for example if they have updated the version you have purchased, or replaced by a new version (which will be treated as a separate purchase): buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support

    Hello

    My Hp Pavilion laptop 2244sa g6 does not come with the product key for windows8. Is this normal? I can't see it anywhere, should I worry?

    Some laptops, like my Envy 17-3002ea loan, have the certificate of authenticity Windows hidden in the compartment where the hard drive and the battery are.  First try.

    Other portable latest and which may include yours, have the Windows license key encrypted in the BIOS.  There is a thread on the Microsoft communities that verifies that. The thread is worth reading.

  • Don't boot to desktop-Boot computer ups always come with "no input signal" for monitor

    Thanks for the research on this issue.  So first of all, he could start after a few attempts in the end goes to the blue screen error at approx. 5 min. I started this path several times that in "safe mode with network" to try the many suggestions of repair for two days. " At this point, it's freezing just at "windows is loading files", but probably will go to blue screen error. Boot ups always come with "no input signal" for the monitor and signal switching in the Help menu for 5 min periods I've mentioned and then fails or "monitor going to sleep" occurs.

    The error messages rec'vd: corrupted image, corrupted file and header file check sum does not match the sum of computer control. The recommendations of the screen blue: disable the BIOS memory, any material current or drivers and check disk space.

    Some tent to fix: memory diagnostics and it showed 'no problem', checked monitor on another computer and it works, in a session of 5 min a download to 'fix' Microsoft via a USB problem like "search of windows crashes" but was 'unable to set', a few other attempts would show the "windows installer has stopped working" preventing any action.

    At the present time, am unable to start even with advanced at F8 options.  It's HP Pavilion 10/2007, with the help of HP. Its on a wireless network with a netbook, Blu - ray, occasionally a cell phone that works on windows live but none presents as a device.
