You will need to re - install windows xp home edition after hardware failure.

Hello

I have an old e-machines computer desk (T1842) I bought nine years ago. It comes preinstalled with microsoft windows xp home edition, there is little time, we had a power surge in our House because of an act of God. I didn't throw this computer, so I bought a new power supply and a new motherboard for my computer running again. This is where my problem occurs, the hard drive on this computer became corrupt, and I have to re - install the operating system on it. The only software that has been arranged for me at time of purchase was a two disc set of what e machines calls "recovery disc". I tried to use these disk to get my computer running again, but there seems to be a hardware conflict now because I had to replace the motherboard, etc... What can I do to get my computer working again, of course, I still have the certificate of authenticity of microsoft / label the product key provided on the back of my computer at the time of the purchase, but the product key does not seem to help me solve this problem. I do not want to get my computer working again, it would be nice if I could get a new disk of software that would be compatible with this new motherboard, etc.. Can someone help me please?

Thank you

David

FWIW... The motherboard came with a driver disk? If you use the recovery disk, I don't think you will be able to re - install windows from scratch. Even if you could you would have problems with the product key code, since the code you have is registered to the old mobo. You can click on the link below and follow the instructions to create a Utlity Cd, allowing you to recover your data on the hard drive. It is also full other little tools that will be useful.

    Hello Sheroola,

    If your laptop did not come with recovery disks, then the PC manufacturer will install the image on a partition of your hard drive. Check the Web sites of manufacturers of PC help section to "restore PC back to factory conditions." This should show you how to restore your PC to the back. Make sure that you backup all the necessary files on a DVD before restoring as you will lose all these files and other applications that you have installed since you bought your laptop. You will also need to reinstall all the software that you have personally installed on your laptop, so I hope that you have the installation for those files.

    Alternatively, the PC manufacturer can provide you with some time with the recovery discs, but they charge for those.

  • Newly installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 works not properly.

    I have a Dell Dimension 4300 S and I recently installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 from the disc I have. When I try to download the SP2 and SP3 from Microsoft I get this box that says "extraction error." I can't download anything and sometimes, when I'm on the internet on this computer, it says "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" and I send error report and, sometimes gives me the blue screen and starts dumping memory. Also, it wont let me on the Windows Update page and the computer won't auto updates.

    Does anyone know what is the problem? I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 two or three times now and linked the repair disk, and I always get the same problems.
    Let me know if I have to give any specs or whatever it is.

    Love the help I'm getting here. :)

    Sorry for the delay but this is a public forum, the vast majority of us here are simply users of Microsoft products (even those with MVP behine their names which is just an honorary title) as help you others when we can. We have no affiliation with Microsoft, nor do we receive any advantage whatsoever, we are just volunteers. Occasionally, a Microsoft employee can post but it's pretty rare. On your workstation.

    After having reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP1a have you installed the necessary drivers? This includes drivers for the motherboard (chipset), audio, video, LAN (network adapter), and so on.  If this is not the case, check the page linked below:

    Drivers & downloads for Dimension 4300 S 
     http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/DriversList.aspx?c=US&CS=19&l=en&s=DHS&ServiceTag=&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P4_4300S&OS=WW1&OSL=en&CATID=&impid=

     http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&CS=19&docid=268873&l=en&s=DHS

    Since SP1a was part of the reinstallation, you will only need to install SP3. The page below the States 'in order to install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) "installed.".

     http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/learn-how-to-install-Windows-XP-Service-Pack-3-SP3

    IMO, it's better to download SP3 for:

    Windows XP Service Pack 3 network installation Package for IT professionals and developers
     http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

    I know that the above download is 316 MB and will take time to download, but from my experience, I had much better luck with that route. In addition, you can then save SP3 on a CD if you need to reinstall again.

    Finally, the following page should help you in the process of installing SP3:

  • Need to reinstall completely Windows - XP Home Edition due to a virus

    I need to completely reinstall Windows XP Home Edition due to a virus, but the virus prevents me from doing this.  Should I start in SafeMode (F8) to reinstall it?

    Hi André,.

    Best way to clean install OS is to boot from the windows xp CD. You will need to configure your CMOS to set the boot order to CD/DVD drive as the first drive. While the XP CD in the drive start your pc, press a key when you are prompted "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM..." Select clean install (you need to press ESC to repair the windows installation ". You will get an option to format the partition, format and install the operating system.

    Clean install will ask you to:

    -> Reactivate windows.

    -> Install all of the software required.

    -> Backup / restore your important data.

    -> All drivers.

    BTW, what is the virus, that you are not able to clean... Try to download available from www.download.com free antivrus, update and scan.

    You can also run malware-removal tools software (click on start-> Run Type & -> mrt.exe-> ok).

    Try to download www.safer-networking.org/ for spyware spybot.

    I hope this helps.

  • I am trying to install Windows XP Home Edition on Xp Pro. How do I?

    I am trying to install Windows XP Home Edition on XP Pro. How do I? I load it in the drive, reboot and it won't work.

    Without going into why you might want to do this, you may access your computer's BIOS and change the order of boot devices so that it looks first at the CD player.  When you start the computer, watch the screen carefully.  There will be a message that says something like, "to change the system settings, press F1.  The exact text, as well as the key, may be different.

    Restart the computer and press the key as soon as you see the message (you'll probably just a few seconds).  Once you are in the BIOS configuration utility, navigate using the arrow keys, the tab and button.  Navigation instructions usually appear at the bottom of each screen.

    Here's a 'how to' with screenshots.  Your computer may not be identical, but this should help you in the right direction: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm

    I need help

    Hi aqm0207,

    How you try to install Windows XP Home Edition?

    You may receive an error message "Stop 0x0000007B" in the following scenarios:

    (a) a device driver that your computer boot controller needs is not configured to start during the startup process.

    (b) a device driver that needs your computer startup controller is damaged.

    (c) It can also occur if the hard drive in the BIOS configuration is bad.

    You can check if the SATA hard drive is correctly configured in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) & can also update the BIOS. If you are not comfortable to do, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

    Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    You can also check this link:Advanced troubleshooting of errors "Stop 0x0000007B" in Windows XP

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • I installed Windows XP Home Edition. Can not find the wireless network drive

    I installed Windows XP Home Edition on my spare PC.  Now I have wireless network card in the computer and problems to find the drivers for it, and I don't know what brand it is, so I know it's kind of makes it harder too.  Then I also have to start the computer, but if I press F1, the computer starts well

    I was just wondering how can I get rid of this?

    Disable all devices that can connect to your router (wired or wireless)...

    • PCs
    • Laptops
    • Tablets
    • Smartphones
    • Smart TV
    • Printers
    • Networked storage
    • Another thing that I have not mentioned above!

    Put on your router and wait for the normal light distribution. Then turn on all devices.

    I hope that your ip address conflict went away. Generally ip conflicts can happen when the router is running again without doing the same with all devices later.

    If you have even an ip address conflict, it is possible that you forgot something above or can someone use your router without your knowledge.

    Your router's wireless network is secure? Ideally with WPA2 encryption?

  • Error: File Asms needed Windows XP Home edition after repair of operating system. (Windows 7 upgrade)

    Original title: asms file necessary windows xp home edition, after operating system repair.

    I know it's old but I try to get on my mothers pc so it can transfer files to a drive hard usb. This computer had virus in there and caused certain files be rearranged. I took out the virus

    I could not access the Device Manager as he disappeared. The computer does not recognize the hard drive usb, so I decided to fix the pc using the re installation disc.

    The computer fixed itself, but now I get this message saying file asms is necessary. I tried to use the steps in this article (311755 KB), but still the same problem. I would like to use the recovery console, but I do not know the password for the administrator of safe mode.
    The computer that had repaired the operating system is a dell dimension 2350 and I used the original windows xp disc.
    I have a disc of windows 7 but the graphics card on the computer is less than adequate. I was wondering if I could calm down the graphics in the windows Classic theme for windows 7 will work and is it possible to save files because the computer is always on the xp Setup

    Your specifications (RAM) are not quite the minimum requirements for WIndows 7 as shown here:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/system-requirements

    However, Microsoft recommends 128 MB of RAM for XP as shown here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314865

    So I think that their minimum requirements are a lot of hooey for most environments.  He can run, but you're probably not going to it.

    If you want to see if you can get your work in XP (I'm not familiar with this problem), if you do a little research on Google for phrases like claire XP administrator password, I forgot XP administrator password reset XP administrator password, etc.. I'm pretty confident that you will find a way to go beyond this little bump on the road.  Simply clear the password and be on your way.

    We are supposed to simply not to tell you how to do such things, so I fall just a few tips :)

    Hello

    You don't say how you are trying to install XP and if the manufacturer of your computer has XP drivers available for this purpose to activate XP to be installed and run successfully on this subject.

    You will need to go to their website where there should be a section to see if they have XP drivers for your model computer.

    If they have XP drivers available for it, follow the instructions in these links provided in its response to dual boot Vista and XP:

    I prefer the Instructions in the second link.

    Here's another consideration on the use of the XP Compatibility Mode in Vista for QuickBooks, but as I don't use QuickBooks, you will need to request support QuickBooks if it would work in this way.

    Hello

    Hmm I think the BSOD appears because you didn t add SATA drivers in the Win XP operating system.

    However, you can try to install Win XP on your laptop without the use of the SATA driver, but you can change the SATA AHCI in the BIOS in compatible mode.
