[paulusflo]

Could you please help me?

I have an old pc and I want to re-install it. So I downloaded a Windows XP service pack 2 iso-file. After that I mounted the image-file using Deamon Tools. So I restarted my pc and I got the same menu as you got. I pressed enter and it said that I have the wrong cd, or the cd is damaged. So i can't install it. I also can't start my pc in normal or in safe mode either.

So if you know how to fix this problem it would be great!

@KillYoFam97

What happened? It deleted everything?

[CHAPI929292]

Umm after I downloaded Windows XP and opened the installer it asked me to restart my PC. I did so and at set up I quit because it asked me to format PC. Now ever I turn PC on it goes to setup automatically after like 5 secs when starting, it gives me the option to go setup or start windows but if I don't select start it just goes setup lol any idea to make it the old way just start it and open normally?

[CHAPI929292]

Ummm after it search for windows it asks me to format my hard drive lol

[carkillerful]

[edge3k]

Thanks for this informative video. I gave 4 star because my ears bleed due to very soft audio... ;) peace bro!!!

[darthnater22]

what heppends if i get an error saying that a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent dmg to your computer check to be sure u have adequate disk space blah blah check with your hardware vendor for any bios updates diasble bios memory options such as caching or shadowing???????? what the hell is all that

[fairmonttech]

@darthnater22 First, turn on your computer and see if you get "safe mode" option? If so, select it and start deleting unneeded stuff on your drive - it sounds like Windows has less than 20% of free space on your primary drive, and it often freaks out as a result. Just offloading a few movies and music files to a usb drive might do the trick! For good measure, throw in a defrag and you'll likely get rid of this problem.

@fairmonttech

hey man how do u get to the setup or that blue screen at the very begginin?

[fairmonttech]

Jeffa101 - Follow the same steps in the video, but instead of hitting "R" in step 3, just hit enter. This will wipe everything off your hard drive by reformatting it; XP will then reinstall itself. Note- make a backup of anything you want to save - email, office docs, etc - because everything will be deleted doing it this way.

[nlive123]

@fairmonttech what will happen to the data tht we have on other partitions, for eg if we do a fresh install on drive c will it delete the data tht we have on d or e.

[Jeffa101]

Hi. How do i get rid of everything from my computer and make it like new, basically i want to remove everything ad start again? how do i go around doing that? wb. thanks for the tutorial and video.

[XZibittt]

[clintonearlwalker]

@AcezClanMW2 The CD is called Windows XP, it should have came with your computer. U will also need the 25 digit "activation code" that should be on a sticker on the side of your computer. I just did this about 5 days ago, thats how I know.

[Nandorunit]
