You need to reinstall Windows XP Media Center.
Original title: my MS answers forum.
I try a clean reinstall of my Acer ASPIRE running MS WIN XP MEDIA CENTER VERSION 2002 SP3. When the PC was purchased the first task was to burn 2 DVD. Now I can locate the Acer E-recovery on the PC but don't want to save the data, simply create a CD or access to the recovery options. Y at - it an App on the DVD that has them, I can see STCDBOOT. ISO 119.170 FILE WinZip, which is. Was told to start with the DVD on the tray, of no use and start holding the key pressed ALT and pressing F10 does not. Any suggestions would be really appreciated! BRITISH COLUMBIA
Hi BeeCees,
· You have the two blank DVDs you have burned when you got the computer?
· The Acer E-Recovery software does not give an option to clean install without saving the data?
I recommend you contact Acer support for instructions on how to reformat their PC using the Acer E-Recovery software without migrating their data on.

How to reinstall Windows XP media center
I have an old computer with windows xp media Center is installed. I'm looking to build upon after sitting unused for over a year so I want to do a new installation. I also think that the hard drive is running out (maybe why I stopped using it) because it makes a very loud grinding noise when used so I have a spare hard drive to swap in.
It includes a hard disk recovery partition and I have the license for it, both on the side of the case and from the registry.
How can I reinstall the operating system on the new drive?
I appreciate all help.

You need to reinstall Windows XP. Do I need the CD of the motherboard?
Hello
someone gave me a computer with some virus on it. I want to wipe the hard drive and install xp. Here's the question-have I need motherboard cd (which I don't have) for installation? or can I just put the xp cd in and then finished?
the mb cd would not have the bios or other important things on that I might need?
any info will help you.
Thank you... pat
(it is a different computer from my other post).
You can install XP from installing XP, but you need to maybe go online with another computer and download the network drivers (put it on a USB key) and install those first. From there, you can do just that with the new PC. You can visit the Web site of the manufacturers of drivers for everything.
Most, if not all, stuff on the CD are available online. It's just get online which can be the first hurdle. -

I need to reinstall Windows Vista to do a reinstall of Windows 7 upgrade?
I have an Alienware Area 51 750i. He is initially provided with windows Vista but had a free upgrade to windows 7. My hard drive has acted lately and I think to replace. I have to buy a new drive for windows 7 or I can use my old copy and install it on the new hard drive. The computer came with a Windows Vista recovery disk and also the disk to upgrade to windows 7. Thank you
You can reuse your Windows 7 license on the new hard drive. You need to reinstall Windows Vista on the new hard drive, and then perform a custom installation of Windows 7 during installation of Windows Vista. You may need to reactivate by phone:
How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.

(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

Problem, reinstall the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
I have problems with MCE 2005. My hard drive crashed and the technician that restored my repressive said that he could not work in MCE 2005. It's a shame because he was working before the hard drive crashes. I work with windows XP.When I go to install the internet and begin to test the connection it gives me "Critical error of process - Code 2"When I go to the TV configuration, it tells me "Tuner not found". Even if I know it works because I also Win TV7 in Hauppauge. My TV tuner is HVR-1600.With these problems, I thought that the solution might be to reinstall rollup 2 according to the Microsoft.http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910905However, when I go to reinstall the Update Rollup 2, it seems to be to establish a restore point and then it stops when it hits hotfix (KB891593).I took a copy of the mcelog and have attached a copy of the log below.Assistance or management, you can provide me to solve this problem would be highly appreciated.
At this point, I'm a newbie to this and I don't have a clue as to the cause of my problems and any ideas you may have for me would be much appreciated.A generic Package: 10/28/10. 21:32:48
