when i try to install windows xp from cd it gives  "no emulation" message and stop.how to fix this problem
610678
the cd u'r using was probably burned as a "no emulation" bootable CD. meaning it does not give the boot a virtual drive like A:. so u need to get a new installer, a normal one. Or try to just upgrade from a lower version windows so the CD doesnt have to boot from DOS...

the first thing to do is make sure your system is at least equal to minimum requirements as listed on the home xp box. From there the install is as easy as 123. It should overwrite anything malicious that it comes across. If not you may try using the system disc that came with your computer to do a clean re-install and then again do the home xp upgrade. I hope this helps and good luck.

Try to get an external USB drive with a cd rom and do it from there, since XP is still running.  Also a very strong recomendation, get another copy of win xp and make sure that it has the Service Pack 2.  And if none of these work, try to get your HD out of the case and make the instalation on someone else computer, putting your HD as a slave and running the instalation on it.\n\nHope I´ve given you a guide to solving your issue.

Kindly disregard the previous advice, as it doesn't pertain to your problem.\n\nTo fix your problem, boot to your Windows CD and perform a "repair installation". \n\nHere are instructions, with screen shots, on how to do that:\n\nhttp://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm#How%20to%20Repair%20Windows%20XP%20by%20Installing%20Over%20top%20of%20Existing%20Setup:\n\nNote: When you get to the page you may have to scroll to the link that says "How To Run A Repair Install"

Set the BIOS to to boot from the XP CD, it should detect the disk and give\na brief message, during the boot up, if you wish to boot from the CD press\nany key. Do it.\n\nOnce you have pressed a key, setup should begin. You will see a reference\nasking if you need to load special drivers and another notice that if you\nwish to begin the ASR (Automatic Recovery Console) depress F2. Just let\nsetup run past all of that. It will continue to load files and drivers.\n\nThen it will bring you to a screen. Eventually, you will come to a screen\nwith the option to (1) setup Windows or (2) Repair Windows Installation\nusing the Recovery console.\n\nThe first option, to setup Windows is the one you want and requires you to\npress enter. When asked, press F8 to accept the end user agreement. Setup\nwill then search for previous versions of Windows. Upon finding your\nversion, it will ask if you wish to Repair your current installation or\ninstall fresh. Press R, that will run a repair installation. From there\non, follow the screens.\n\nhttp://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm\nhttp://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm\nhttp://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm

I think the CD is damaged, it probably is not a problem with your computer. The fact that you successfully installed Win98 is a good indicator that it is not your computer. You need to obtain another disk of XP.

I've been having some computer problems lately myself where XP won't boot. I tried pretty much everything. But I finally got it working after using this:\n\nFix-It Utilities 6\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009JKGRY/002-0155762-7876854?v=glance&n=229534\n\nI'm not sure if it'll work for you or not, but it's worth a shot.

Try repairing the Windows XP (It will come as "Repair Windows" or something like that, in the set up screen). During the set-up this option is provided. This is safest bet. And would probably work.\n\nIf this fails, then I am afraid that reinstalling is the only option.

You have to have a boot disk first, then re-format you hard drive from the boot disk, then install win XP. Make sure the boot disk is made from win 98

Under the circumstances, a clean install would be the best option. Delete the 3 directories ie. PROGRAM FILES; WINDOWS; MYDOCUMENTS and you're over with Win9x. Boot the computer using the XP disc and pick up the setup from there.

Actually, this message is specific to Windows 95/98, so you are NOT running Windows XP. Do not use the advise from others, as most of the suggestions and software they list will not work on your machine properly. Windows XP is a completely different operating system than what you have.\n\nPlease go to the Microsoft website and read their help and support page on this specific issue.
