Aug 6, 2007Im working on a PC (HP Pavillion) and there is a problem with missing files,program crashes and lots of errors (too many to list!),I've tried everything and have now been advised by the shop in question to re-install the OS {XP Home Ed}Now, the PC came without an Install CD-Rom/ Media and I phoned the shop where it was purchased andthey informed me that "Those models are shipped with the XP already on them", so I am assuming the way is to use the partitioned drive with the backup data upon it.The PC has 1 optical drive (D) and 1 partition(E)How do I re_install XP Home ed from a partionioned drive and access the said drive??

View 2 Replies View RelatedInstalling Webcam With Mini Cdr / Getting Error During Installation?
Aug 24, 2006i got this very old and cheap brandless webcam, it came with a mini-cdr which holds the drivers, when i place the mini-cdr into my dvd drive, it made a load noise, then the installer runs and i got the error shown in the top of the pic, as i continue the installation i got another error, shown at the botton of the pic, now i know maybe the disc is corroupt or something, so i decided to use device manager to install the drivers manually.
when windows did found the driver on the disc, it turns out to be a notepad file, which was strange, but i continue to install anyway, but windows pops up a message saying the driver isn't signed or could be harmful or something like that, i cancel the installation and uplugs the camera. i thought it made sense since the mini-cdr could actually be a coaster or a badly burnt disc, as the installer states there's an error, but should i try anyways?

Dec 30, 2005Owing to the possible of a corrupted VGA driver I thought I would do a ''Clean Installation'' of the Windows XP OEM Home Edition [including Service Pack 2] within my recently purchased new computer unit.From information read I tried to ''Boot'' from the Windows OEM XP program disk.After a few tries I found could not do same. [It appears you cannot use this process to do a Installation from a Windows OEM XP program Disk???]And afterwards on investigating within the XP program disk I found Within ''Install Windows XP''= ''Welcome to Windows Setup'' = ''Installation Type'' = [dropdown arrow] ''New Installation Advanced'' =This is the process I used and I found the computer ''C /Drive'' still retained the ''Program'' folder containing all the programs I had been using?? Yet the ''Program Menu'' showed nothing??It now appears I have not installed the New Installation of the XP OEM on a ''Clean'' disk?
View 3 Replies View RelatedRepairing Home Installation
Aug 19, 2009I was trying to repair my desktop Windows XP Home installation.I have the original restore cds, but did not want to do a clean sweep, so I got hold of an XP Home cd, did all the repairing and copying of files, entered the key on the COA attached to my desktop, and all the process was fine. At the end, it asked me to activate the copy of windows, which I accepted because my key on the COA is all "clean". However, the process does not go anywhere, it only takes me to the desktop, which is blank and has nothing, not even the taskbar visible. The computer freezes.I have repaired other desktops and laptops I have at home before, and the process worked no problem, so I don't know what i did wrong this time.
Before I did the repairing on this desktop, I had disabled my ethernet adapter because I was connecting to the internet via wireless. So I'm thinking the problem is that the wireless card drivers got deleted, and the system cannot enable the ethernet adapter to connect to the internet to activate windows. First question is: Is this the case? Please help.I am not sure if the XP cd I got is an OEM version, or full retail. Second question: Could this be the problem? Finally, I was thinking of connecting an older hard disk that has a working copy of windows on it to my desktop (instead of the one I "repaired"), boot from it, and then activate the ethernet adapter, so I can then plug the original hard disk and hope the activation process to work.

Sep 20, 2006I have installed Windows XP Home on a PC I built.I can install windows just fine, However when i get the 2nd restart it stops on the windows loading screen, the one that has a little blue scrolling bar across the bottom. I ty resetting and it still stops there. I also tried reinstalling windows and it happens each and every time there. What is causing this? I tried two different video cards and nothing, and different Ram. Is it a bad motherboard? Bad Processor, it shouldn't be considering I can get windows to install up to that point.

Jul 23, 2005I did "F6" to install the Intel RAID driver using a floppy disk created from the motherboard support CD. The STOP message/blue screen appeared after XP loaded all the drivers. It is a clean installation on 2 new HDDs, so I assume the error is not caused by viruses. Yes, I did upgraded my BIOS to the latest version beforehand. The SATA data cables are new that came with the motherboard. Yes, I have also read and printed out MS KB324103, but I am still not sure what the problem(s) is/are Does XP Home Edition support RAID1 configuration? I read from Western Digital knowledge base answer ID 282 that "Windows XP Home Edition does not support dynamic disks." Is it true? Does it mean that I will have to buy XP Professional for RAID1 (mirrored)? Should I take out the video card and modem card before installing XP?

Dec 18, 2007My home computer gets used by four different people, all of which, apart from me, have almost no idea what they're doing. So, to protect my music collection from accidental deletion etc. I used the user access feature of vista so that only my user account could access the folder that contains all the music... I now cannot access this folder from XP... the data is still there, I've done my maths with free space on drive, but XP reckons the folder is empty, and says.
