Connect your old hard disk to the IDE slot that your CD-ROM drive is using. You can even leave it connected together with your CD-ROM drive if you want. \n\nYou just have to plug the IDE cable into both the CD-ROM and the hard disk. Set your CD-ROM as master and the hard disk as slave.\n\nGo to BIOS and see if your hard disk has been recognised. Once it is done, reboot your PC and transfer the files from the old disk to teh new one. \nUSB to IDE cables are also available which can be made use of in case you want donot want to open up your PC and play around with the peripherals and the cables.

usually theres a pin hole in front of the drive.  push a paperclip or similar sized object in and it should pop it open enough to pull it out and get the cd

you tap the F8 key to get to the menu for last known good configuration.\nIf you need the cd, you can get it from compaq, if they are not availiable, there are a couple of third party online companies that sell them, or you could just install windows xp with someone else's cd and use your code on the case

The CD that is in your drive (D:) is not the one that is needed for running the installation/program. The one that is actually needed has a volume label of AMERICAS.

To install just click on the setup.exe.\nI dont think it will be different whether it is in a CD or DVD.

Call the people you brought the computer from and have them fix it. They should have given you the CDs.

1.  Buy Windows XP Upgrade Edition (recommend Professional, but Home edition is fine).  Pro:\n\nhttp://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=477481/sort_type=bottomline\n\n2. Pop it in your CD drive and boot computer.\n\n3. Follow prompts and answer questions that come up during setup wizard (simple).\n\n\n2b.  If your computer doesn't boot from CD or prompt to hit a key to boot, then you may need to set your CD as a boot drive in BIOS.  If that happens, you'll need additional instructions.  Post here.

Dear Friend,\nYou first need to formate the entire disk.\nThen Boot your Computer using windows CD.\nThen there is a Software Segate Disk Manager. Run it. Follow the instructions. \nThere Comes a software with the Windows OS CD F-Disk.\nIt will also do but will take time.

you really don't need to do anything but pop the cd in.  the install helper helps you the whole time.  it will tell you whent to put the registration code in, it will tell you when to change cds.  if you are having problems with it just email me at amanda@codenamelydia.com  you shouldn't have any problems.  also if you also asking about the expansions, it is also the same, just pop in the cd and the helper will help you.  all the codes are on the back of the cd case, except for nightlife's code which is on the back of the help booklet.

If you have an installation CD, the process is much quicker. You'll just have to restart your PC and stick it in. However, first, go into the BIOS (press DEL at the startup "DOS-like" screen), and change the Boot Order so that the CD Drive starts up first. Then whack in your cd.\n\nAlternatively, you might want to try this source I have found for you, if you do not have the disc...

you can change the region code on your DVD drive. look in properties by right clicking on the drive in "my computer".\nWARNING: you can only change the region code 5 times and then you are stuck with that region code
