If I try and I remove the usb cd when reboots after copid setup files it told her there is no operating system...

any help much appreciated...

Hi, Leon,

Always include computer make and model, please.  Thank you.

Research in the Bios (reboot and press F1 or F2 depending on your system, check that all usb options are enabled (for example, USB legacy or support for USB 2.0 devices).)

If there is a timeout parameter, set it to Max.

Then, find the boot device priority section

A USB flash drive, which is usually listed as USB - HDD, but may be listed as a removable device, will have a priority very low start.

Rearrange the boot device priority so that the flash drive has a higher priority than the hard drive.

Install Windows XP from USB key

  • Insert the USB key into the USB port on the computer.

  • Open the "I386" folder and find the file "Winnt.exe".

Double-click on the "Winnt.exe" to launch a command prompt BACK to an installation of Windows XP.

Type the path of the location of your "I386" folder in the DOS window. For example, if your USB is the letter "D" in your "My Computer" window, type "d:\i386" without the quotes and press the Enter"" key.

Let the installation program copy the Windows XP installation files on your computer.

Restart your computer to a command prompt. The Windows XP Setup will continue automatically.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. The program will ask you your Windows XP product key in this process.

  • Windows XP Clean install... copies the files and then restarts... Never installed!

    I've recently updated some hardware in my PC, a new Gigabyte motherboard and an AMD Dual Core processor. Here are the specifications of what Im running:
    The rest is all pretty basic stuff... fans, etc heat sinks. It's pretty much a budget box, so there is nothing too special about it. I thought that I restart it come and go, but the process of starting always led me through the boot of MB, then to "loading of the operating system", then restart everything again.
    I did the walk through for clean install of Windows XP and everything goes well until it comes time for the operating system to install.
    1. Boot from CD
    2. Setup Windows XP now
    3. Delete the existing partition
    4. Create the new partition
    5. Choose the location and format of partition
    6. Copy the files in Windows XP
    The copy goes by fine... but after that is where the problem starts. Instead of going to Windows Installer, it will restart the PC.  After the reboot, it goes through the whole process that I mentioned at the beginning of this problem.
    What I am doing wrong?

    Hello

    Once the files are copied when the computer restarts automatically do not press any key to boot from the CD again and let the computer automatically launch the next step. Also remove any external devices attached outside keyboard and mouse.

    I hope hear from you soon!

  • Error "Windows Setup cannot continue. To install windows, click ok to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. "When you try to install Windows.

    How can I configure my windows 7 after restoring my laptop to the factory conditians?

    My laptop had a blue screen and I couldn't get rid of it, I went into safe mode and restore my computer to factory conditions. When the computer says "the installation program starts services" you stop and I couldn't turn it back on for 15 minutes. When I turned on and tried to contained my setup, a message keeps poping up "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install windows, click ok to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. "But no mader, how many times I reboot my laptop, the same message appears. What should I do? I've restored my computer several times and never had this problem.

    You should try another recovery.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    Help.

    I just got a refurbished Compaq 7700. It has Windows XP for drives of the refurbished computers.

    I try to boot from the hard drive (HD) and infinite loops, it is never past the initial home screen (black with blue status bar).

    I can't open the safe or the HD mode, it freezes at kmxstart.sys and then restarts again.

    Original title: given to nine Compaq 7700, BSoD, boot XP infinite loop, can't even get past the black screen, to enter Windows.

    I tried to boot from the disk and created Windows appears, then load the files, but then automatically tries to start Windows (without repair option). It then jumps to the BSoD with error code (after advice to verify sufficient disk space, to disable the driver identified, to change video cards, BIOS updates...)

    Apparently, this driver is a printer driver? I don't have a printer, but do not know how to disable it without access to windows.

    I got a new Philips 18.5 "monitor, an optical mouse and a keyboard with it.

    My guess is that the screen is the problem, because it was full again when I received and therefore not tested with the system before shipping. Not sure about the mouse and the keyboard.

    I tried a few options in the BIOS screen as well, but no dice.

    Thanks for the reply.

    You just solved your problem. If not all, basically everything. You need 64-bit installation files for your 64-bit computer.

    You need two installation files - for extracting .exe and .7z the program itself. These two files have 64 in the name of the file if each is to be used in a 64-bit system.

    If you have purchased serial number...

    a. you can go after the series of 64-bit installation files where you are

    or

    b. downloading 64-bit from the following location and insert your serial number purchased by them during the installation.

    http://prodesigntools.com/Photoshop-elements-13-direct-download-links-premiere.html

    Important... carefully perform the ' Note: very important "on this web site in order to avoid the access denied Message. Don't forget: you are using the trip to Adobe mentioned must be authenticated, you use the web site for the 1 (.exe) file links and file 2 (7z).

    or

    Try download from c.

  • When I open Windows mail, I start to get the mail and I get it about 474 243. And then an error saying Windows mail will be closed because of an error.

    Windows mail - error and the same letter over and over again.

    When I open Windows mail, I start to get the mail and I get it about 474 243. And then an error saying Windows mail will be closed because of an error. And I start it again and I get the SAME email AGAIN, and again, it stops somewhere and closes.

    Anyone know what could be the problem?

    You can try to set up a new e-mail account and use the exact settings of the account that you have now.  This way, you will have a copy of the same account.  Then see if it has the same problem.  If it works and is not old, and then see if the old man works after this and remove one of them, if you do not receive the messages in doubles.

    If the new copy of account has the same problem, then it's a stuck message and your courier company should fix this.

    Hi gullo56,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Community Forums.

    To help you better I would ask,

    a. If it functioned very well under Windows 7 before?

    ·         I suggest you to disable your firewall security software and check if you are able to play the game.

    From the link below, what I discovered is Microsoft Flight Simulator 3 is not completely compatible with Windows 7, but I would suggest that you follow the steps below to help troubleshoot your problem.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?type=software&s=combat%20flight%20simulator%203

    1. as Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 is supported by Microsoft Windows Vista to function normally, I suggest you run this program in Vista compatibility mode in Microsoft Windows 7.

    For information about how to run a program in an earlier version of Windows, visit the link below,

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    2. you can also try to reduce the hardware acceleration and check if it solves your problem,

    1. Click Start-> Control Panel-> appearance and personalization.

    2. under customization, click on adjust the screen resolution.

    3. in the display settings dialog box, click the Advanced Settings button.

    4. in the monitor Properties dialog box, click the Troubleshooting tab.

    5. click on the change settings button.

    6. in the Security dialog box, click on continue.

    7 move the hardware acceleration slider to none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

    8. click on OK.

    9. restart Windows.

    Hope this information helped you.

    Kind regards
