Thaks my computer is so jacked up when I log on porn immediatly shows up so thanks! I have a question though will this software work on other non origionally XP computers as long as there Dell?

[enfotoad]

@gircupcakeful I don't think so. But I would not advise you to try using the same CD on another dell computer or any other computer. Mainly because it is illegal, but also because you will run into activation issues since the software will have already been activated on another computer.

i did this and i cant connect to the internet. i got a wireless connection but after i installed it i couldnt connect to any network. please help!!!!!

@mehmenmit Have you tried to install the driver for your computer via the Dell Support & Drivers website? Google it and you should easily find the newest drivers for your computer. Download the recommended downloads under Networking and install those. Then see if it works.

can smeone please tell me. i bought a brand new laptop from dell. it came with all the disks. my question is, i wanna build a gaming pc but i dont want to pay for an operating system. so could i use the disks that came with my new laptop?

[enfotoad]

@wiifan62 You shouldn't because it is illegal to do. Also because it wouldn't activate on your gaming rig since it was already activated on your Dell laptop. I believe the activation key for the OS will always have record that it belongs to your dell laptop series.

It keeps saying ntldr is missing and wont let me get pass that???

It doesn't really matter if you just leave the cd or dvd in, as long you don't do anything when the computer restarts, if you cant download the drivers because you computer doesn't connect to internet, then download them from another computer, connect a cable or do something to get them in there and then install them, i connect my phone through usb and share my internet

Guys help I have a Dell INSPIRON mini and it came with Ubuntu I try doimg this but when it says press F8 to agree nothing happens

[FreightExpress1993]

You may want update that link because SP2 is no longer supported by Microsoft so you may want to replace the link with SP3 some copies of Windows XP would have SP2 integrated you can install SP3 over SP1

[tedoluoch]

Could someone please tell me what is wrong with my computer because it does not go to set up mode when I try to reinstall the set up cd? My initial problem was that it keeps restarting

and does not reach the log on windows part.

Can someone help me please. I did this process but I can't get online to dl the correct drivers and service patches. I bout a wireless USB for my comp but it won't load the cd, I'm assuming because the driver isn't reading it. Please help

@mehmenmit On the Dell OS DVD, their should be a folder called DELL.

All the drivers should be in there.
