Sep 17, 2008I couldn't seem to find the appropriate section for this, so move this to another section if it's unrelated. I was reading through this networking textbook about operating systems and I just found out that a computer can have more than one operating system. I have Windows XP installed through the Data Drivers Recovery CD and that's all I got related to my computer OS WINXP. If I wanted to install Windows XP to another computer that had Windows Vista, with that CD, is it possible, even though it says Data Drivers Recovery CD? Or do I need the actual Installation of WINDOWS XP (and other OS'S?).

Oct 19, 2007My XP Home recovery disk will not install or repair anymore (the last few days I did have it up and running - but after trying to install SP2 it's crashing again). So my final chance to get this system back up and running is to try and install a "retail version" XP Pro to a new hard drive.
Can you perform a 'full installation' from a product that is listed as "upgrade" I found what I feel is a good deal on eBay - the blurb states that you can (boot from CD drive) and then when promted just insert your original XP Home or WIN98 disk which sorts out the "key problem". I have listed what this Power Seller says - I have also emailed previous buyers who say it's a great product - legal etc. But these buyers had installed over a working copy of Windows 2000 and XP Home....
Clean Install From OEM Recovery Disk!?
Jan 5, 2007First off I've searched this but haven't found the relavent information I'm looking for. Chances are I've looked or searched in the wrong places.I've heard I need to boot from disk then format, to do a clean XP install when do I format and how.Also, I'm going to be getting more RAM very shortly, probably tomorrow, and I think this is the majority of the slow, lagging problems I've been having with the laptop (only 256 now) and I was wondering if I should hold off on the re-install untill I put the new RAM in there or does that not matter.

Jun 3, 2008My friend's computer seized up in the middle of the boot. Tried recovery, but it isn't able to go forward. The hard drive seemed to be spinning tho, so chances were good we could recover the data. I removed the hard drive and copied everything to a back-up external drive using my own computer. Replaced the hard drive in the disabled computer. Question is how do I install Windows XP? The recovery files on the hard drive are not accessible, I assume, so we can't use those - right? We misplaced the disks that came with the computer, so I'm buying a new copy of Windows XP.

Oct 8, 2007Recently the machine was really running slowly and of course all the pre-installed demo applications were way beyond their expiration date so when she asked for my help, I opted for a complete HDD format and recovery installation with her original Toshiba recovery CD.Programs were still on the HDD, but All shortcut icons were gone from the desktop Keyboard and language settings had returned to original English Firefox reverted to its initial first-access home page Apps like McAffee's site advisor disappeared completely requiring reinstallation and, upon starting Open Office, it reinitiated its registration sequence I set a System Restore Point. However once again after I rebooted everything had rolled back and even my attempt to restore the machine to the point I'd set failed

Feb 24, 2010My motherboard went kaput. I got a new motherboard and was going to avoid formating by using a repair install. I did the repair install and booted to windows (in safe mode) but it crashed on agp440.sys, which seems to be a fairly common problem with outdated chipset drivers. I know I can disable this driver in the recovery console, but when I boot to my XP disk, it cannot find my XP installation, It just goes straight to the screen where I can pick a partition to install onto. How did my XP install get lost? I recently fixed up my boot records and everything was fine, I was always able to use the recovery console. Obviously the install is there since I can start booting to it.

System Recovery Fatal Error - No Operating System Found
Sep 12, 2008I tried to do a System Recovery today on my Sony laptop. Got 41% completed and had a fatal error. Options given were Ignore, Retry or Abort. Attempted a Retry. Got a fatal error message and everything locked up. I ended up shutting down and when I turned the computer on again it said no operating system found. Where did I screw up?

Oct 8, 2007I have been trying to help a friend update or correct her winxp on her HP pavilion 520w I have a copy of my winxp cd from my dell system however I dont have the product key code to use it. So I have tried repeatedly to reset her computer to boot from her cdrom without success. I even posted here last week and someone suggested to tap the delete key when rebooting to change the boot sequence. I wasnt able to get it to work. However I did accidently discover that tapping F10 brings up the Recover system on her computer. Not knowing exactly for sure if I could just correct her winxp with recoverying the whole system I turned off the computer to stop it. I have 3 questions if the Recovery System on this HP model allows you to correct a current copy of your windows without reformatting? how to set this HP model to reboot from the CD-rom?

HP Windows System Recovery
Jun 21, 2010I am trying to do a System Recovery.I backed everything up and do not mind reinstalling everything with a fresh start.The computer first started with a boot loop. I would turn the computer on and it would go to the black screen with the options to boot in "Safe Mode", " last config", or Normal.Anything I selected did not matter, it would go back to the same screen asking me to select one of the options "safe mode" etc. So I shut down the computer wanting to do a "r" repair with the System Recovery discs, so I rebooted to the BIOS (F11), changing the order of the boot sequence to CD-R/RW because I have the original HP Recovery CDs (8 discs total). I put disc One in the CD-R drive, selected "r" for repair.I put the 8 discs in as they asked, but once I got to the eighth disc, the comp said " Cannot create User Partition", so I turned the computer off and started over with disc One. This time I selected "f" for full recovery, went through all eight discs, then it said "Problem in Extracting process: xxxx can't be opened! the xxxx are all the files I noticed the computer was copying from the CD-Rs, I think.I took out the eighth disc, shut down and rebooted and now the screen reads "NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl +Alt+Del to restart.
