Jan 26, 2006I have heard when attempting to upgrade not clean install a new os. For example the whole win98 to w2k doesnt fly good because of the fat32 to ntfs deal. so what about upgrading w2k pro with ntfs to xp pro with ntfs? is this a good thing to do now a days or is it still better to just perform a clean install over my existing os. I really would like to keep my stuff intact, but I dont want a xp upgrade. So what type of issues have you guys had upgrading w2k to xp pro?

Jan 13, 2010I just built my first computer and I don't have an OS yet. I do have 2 copies on Win XP Home Edition that I found that I may or may not have installed yet.I was going to buy the Win 7 Professional Upgrade online from digital river. It comes with a download for your computer and a disk kit for 13 dollars more that they ship to you. Thing is, this will be a CLEAN INSTALL on a brand new terabyte hard drive. I have read about people doing clean installs with the DISK of Win 7 Upgrade Media, but it seems too complicated. I also know that the best way to upgrade Win XP to Win 7 was to do a clean install and backup your files. But im not going to have anything stored on Win XP.I want to install Win XP Home Edition,connect to the internet, download the Win 7 upgrade media. And install that.

Windows XP Home, which is what I use and Windows XP Professional Setup.I dont know how the Professional Setup got on there but it is always highlighted as the selection, so if I reboot and go away from the computer it goes into the Setup which doesnt work, and then I have to reboot again. I;ve never had this until recently, and need to know how to get rid of the Professional Setup one so I can just use regular XP. I've done a search for the setup so i could delete it but nothing came up.

Aug 26, 2005I am using Windows XP Professional.When I reboot my computer, Windows tries to load.It gets to the point of the sound of Windows booting and the default landscape view; but won't go any further.None of the program icons show and the tray at the bottom of the screen will not come up.If I try to start the program in Safe Mode, the same thing happens.It "hangs up" at the same point.Yesterday, I ran Spybot on my computer.I had several spyware problems and deleted them.Did not reboot until today when I then had the problem described above.Can you tell me anything I can do from the DOS prompt to resolve this problem as I cannot get Windows to load properly?
View 14 Replies View RelatedLogin Loop- OS Is XP Professional
Oct 13, 2004My OS is XP Professional. I rebooted my PC & when I got to the login screen, I press Ctrl-Alt-Del. I go to the password screen & enter my password. XP then displays 'Loading your personal settings'. after a few seconds, it displays 'closing network connections' & 'saving your settings' & goes back to the login screen asking me to press ctrl-alt-del to login. This loop is happening whether I try to log to the domain or try to login as stand alone. If I enter wrong password XP says so & ask me to enter correct password. I am able to access my PC through another computer though & check the hard disk for any virus no virus found.

Jun 29, 2005Alright, I need to know if I can remove windows XP Professional. It was the first operating system installed. I want to wipe the entire harddrive of EVERYTHING on it and have windows like when it was first installed. I have the windows XP HOME CD key, so I'm guessing I might have to go from Pro to Home, which is fine with me. Is there a way to do this? I'm sorry, not very good with PCs.

Jul 17, 2005I just upgrade my xp home service pack 1 to professional service pack 2 using the upgrade option.now that I've upgraded, there are several things wrong with my system that I can't seem to fix:
1. Sometimes during shutdown windows hangs at the "saving your settings" dialog, I have to push the power button to have it power off.
2. Right clicking any files (on the desktop, in explorer, and even shortcuts in the start menu) will cause the system to lock up. I have to end task explorer.exe and restart it to get windows back. Special right click menus display without any problems (ie: my computer, recycle bin, desktop, start button)
3. Going into control panel > network connections will lock up the windows.
4. going into internet options > connections locks up just the internet options window.
I've tried uninstalling as many programs I don't need. A reformat is my LAST resort.

View 10 Replies View RelatedIllegal Copy Of Professional
Jul 10, 2005Last year I purchased a copy of XP Professional on eBay. Prior to that, I purchased Windows 2000 Professional from Best Buy - it was a legal copy and I still have it.I wanted to upgrade/change to XP so I was hoping to get a less expensive purchase via eBay. Everything was fine with it until this week when I tried to download an upgrade to Windows Media Player 10. My licenses were out of wack and when I called Microsoft for support, they told me it was an OEM version and they didn't support those versions. I had no idea I purchased an OEM version. I want a legal copy of XP and don't want to have to reformat my harddrive. Since XP Professional is already on my computer, if I "re-buy" the op-sys, can I load it over this OEM version? Or do I have to reformat?

View 6 Replies View RelatedDowngrade From Professional To Home
May 6, 2009I recently had my computer crash. Then I had the misfortune of going to the wrong repair shop. Among other things, the tech, instead of reinstalling my Windows XP Home Edition from my disc, installed XP Professional from a disc he had.The tech also lost a lot if data and did some other things that I didn't like; I don't want to go back to him. I wonder what the best way is to get rid of Professional and install Home?What would happen if I just tried to install Home over Professional? Is there any way to downgrade from Professional to Home? I presume that what I have to do now is to uninstall XP Professional and then reinstall XP Home. Could I partition and put Home on a new partition and then uninstall Professional on the old partition? I know there is an abundance of websites that tell how to do a clean install, but could someone suggest one they feel is good?
