View 2 Replies View RelatedGetting right to it I have a Dell Dimension 4300 that I am fixing up for my daughter adding memory and a larger hard drive. It has Win Xp home installed on it and I have gotten the CD Key # off of it using an extractor. Now my question is because I do not have the upgrade CD (which came with it) for reinstalling it can I use my other (legal) XP upgrade cd to reistall it, using the Key # retrieved from the Dell to verify it with MS for upgrades/downloads, etc. or will I have to use the CD key # which came with my disc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have to reinstall my XP Pro OS on my work PC. The XP CD for that is fairly old and only has SP1. I recently got a laptop with XP Pro SP2. Can I Install the OS using the laptop XP CD that has SP2 and type in the product Key for the older XP machine so I don't have to spend hours updating the SP1 install to SP2. I've done this with MS Office in the past when the silver coating on the CD got scraped off and I just installed with an Office CD from another machine and used the Product Key from the broken CD license. These are DELL machines if that makes any difference. The last time I reinstalled the laptop OS using the CD, I can't remember typing in the product key and I don't want to have any issues with licensing and activation.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a strange anomoly when reinstalling XP. After the installation reboots into device configuration and I "ok" the keyboard config, the product key entry page comes up and locks the system. I am befuddled. I have tried booting into safe-mode (can't boot into safe-mode during setup), restarting the installation, running repair on the installation and chkdsk /r. I was able to install a second image to a new system directory. I would rather not rebuild my entire configuration via the second image. Anyone have an idea why the original installation is freezing as indicated?
View 1 Replies View Relatedcan one cancel a xp upgrade install (over w98se) directly after entering the product key without damaging the current w98 configuration? in other words, can the install process be stopped harmlessly before performing the Dynamic Update which you have a yes/no option? the pc uses a shared wireless net connection and in order to perform Dynamic Update you must have an active Internet connection. if for some reason the pc was to lose its connection would xp not see it and begin automatically installing xp without being able to halt it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use a slip-streamed copy of win xp pro to install xp home onto a new hard drive for a friend while using his xp home product key. I thought that xp home would extract the files unique to xp home from the xp pro install because I used the xp home product key. The reason I'm using the xp pro slip-stream is because my friend bought the computer with xp home pre-installed and didn't get a install copy on the o.s.

View 10 Replies View RelatedAFTER APRIL 11TH, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT UPDATES FOR MICROSOFT PRODUCTS FOR XP?) Let's say for example that it is now April 12th, and a security patch is released for OE 6. Could we just do the following:
1) Go to www.microsoft.com
2.) Individually select the product to update or patch to install (I.E my hypothetical OE 6 question) than download and install the patch?
IS EVERYONE RUNNING XP GOING TO BE PROMPTED WITH SOME MESSAGE SAYING: "ATTENTION: SP-2 IS REQUIRED FOR ALL XP UPDATES." OR, DOES THIS SP-2 MANDATORY APPLY ONLY TO RUNNING WINDOWS UPDATE OR AUTOMATIC UPDATE, meaning that we can still download individual product enhancments by going to www.microsoft.com and selecting by product or service?
I couldnt install the service pack 2 because the installation says my product keys are unvalid and it gave a website to find the solution to my problem.
