Is clean installing windows XP free?

October 27, 2009

I have the windows media centre edition CD sp2, (i think 2005) And my computer is really messed up I can’t even use stuff in the controll panel.
I have a working version of XP on the computer, and the CD. Will the fresh install be free? Or will I have to buy a new CD?
And How long will the install take? I’ve got a p4 3ghz, 1 gig ram, gotta formatt whole 200 gig hdd and setup 4 users.

Thank You very much! My computer is almost about to crash and I don’t want that to happen. (i’ve considered linux, but its not my computer)

Dead Mobo, windows not booting on new mobo?

September 20, 2009

This happens all the time!!! it drives me crazy, i got a corrupted hal.dll at first and just fixed that, not it restart when windows just finish loading. Repair windows option is not available, is there a way to force it? I tried running windows xp in safe mode and install xp, but it keeps telling my key is not correct. So i tried Vista, but i didnt have a key, so i just choose the no key option which i need to activate in 30days or it wont work anymore. But it says cannot upgrade in safe mode! Is there any way to bypass this, i read around alot n there was ways to swap mobo through microsoft software, but mine is dead. I have no clue!!! Please HELP. THX!!
I know y it doesn’t work, but does anyone know how to fix it? Where is the drivers and stuff located thats causing this? Is it possible to install the same XP on a different hdd on teh same comp, then just swaping the drivers/files to the old hdd? but then were is the file.
Its from a amd processor to a amd processor amd to my p4 intel works. o.O
I dont like vista also, but even that dont work so idk. There are alot of games and programs there too so thats something that i dont think slave would work in. but thx
My old 200 GB is a slave and my 40GB is on master, BUT i can run my preinstalled GAMES or PROGS… which is most of my disk space.

How can I repair a crashed hard drive?

August 11, 2009

I’m looking at a friends laptop at the moment. It crashed, won’t boot, freezes at boot up and he lost all his files. I hooked his HDD up to my pc using an ide adapter and recovered the files no problem. My question is this though, having complete access to his windows folder, is there anyway of repairing the drive by configuring the files within it? is there any software out there that might scan for the problem maybe.

Cheers

It’s definitely the drive
It’s definitely the drive because I tried it out in another machine
ok so I formatted the drive, popped it back in the laptop and went to boot from cd drive which is first in boot sequence and I’m getting the error "ntldr is missing" .What now?
