Without CD Replace Preinstalled Pro,
Sep 6, 2010I have two HP-Compaq PC's, where one crashed the C drive and the other runs extreme slow.Both came with XP Pro pre-installed and no CD's. Both are at level SP3. Have been told that a clean reinstall of the XP Pro should be done every 6-12 month, as any windows will diminish performance over time. I have both Product Keys. Both machines have a 500 GB E drive as secondary storage, and they have 80 GB and 250 GB C drives respectively. 1. How can I obtain a replacement XP Pro to make a clean re-installation. 2. Any special instructions to do so.

Nov 16, 2008I can't boot my Compaq laptop. I got sick of all the AOL stuff still hanging around that I tried to get rid of it all. I deleted it from add/remove from programs and also deleted the files from system files. I faced with a message which read "The AOL connectivity service isn't running. Please restart your computer and try again". At that point everything froze and I could just see the "torch" looking for files in the "My Computer" screen and nothing else happening. I have tried System Restore, also reverting to the last configuration which worked. Now I just get the desktop background with nothing on it.I can get in OK with secure mode. I have also tried scan disk and the repair defects options.

Mar 10, 2005Pc had win98 installed. With the pc came a support cd for my ASRock mobo. I installed the cd and installed 4 in 1 drivers, no problem. However it wrote over my existing drivers for my modem and graphic card. I read the manual and it read that this mobo was designed specifically for XP. So I formatted my hard drive and installed XP pro, without a hitch. However it did not detect my modem.
It detect everythig else There wasn't a list to chose from. I went to a web site and d/loaded proper driver from the info off my modem. The problem was I couldn't load to floppy cause the file was 2.44 mbs. So here's where the stupid in me comes to play. I removed the hard drive from my old pc and installed to my new one, but of course it did not boot, no screen, nadda. I reversed my screw up, and my pc still does not boot
Uninstalling Operating Systems
Feb 13, 2005My hard drive is divided into two partitions running Windows ME and Windows 2000 Professional NT. Windows 2000 is currently causing problems in that mouse movement is delayed, and also the shutdown process is lengthy, followed by a blank blue screen, sometimes not shutting down at all.As I would prefer to make a clean install of XP Pro it would be great to get rid of the former operating systems. Can anyone advise on how to go about this?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUnable To Install After Uninstalling Vista
Jun 16, 2009I purchased a Dell Inspiron 531 about a year or so ago for my wife. It came with Vista pre-installed. Everything was fine except that my wife kept complaining about the speed compared to my pc running XP. So, I checked the web to see if uninstalling Vista would be a problem and mostly I found that it was doable. So, I downloaded the necessary nVidia drivers and I was off. I unistalled Vista, reformated the HD and reinstalled XP Home SP1a (a purchased copy) so everything went just fine, at least so I thought. I now get frequent shutdowns and reboots. Some programs will not install properly (such as MS Office 2003)- word will open sometimes and sometimes I get errors saying that the program could not open for various reasons. I use Avira anti-virus and it has problems updating.

Just recently my internet stopped working, and my mom changed the administrator password and made the main account non-administrator. Problem? SHE FORGOT THE PASSWORD!So, now, we can't install/uninstall anything and we need to know how to completely reformat our hard disk and uninstall windows so that we can start over fresh. We plan to reinstall Windows with a complete Windows XP Home Edition CD that we purchased separately. We also have another CD that came with the computer, but we're not sure if it is a complete Windows XP Home Edition installation CD. *NOTE* My mom is working with me on this, and she's more computer savvy than me. She's going to be the one reading the instructions. I just type faster
