Find someone with a copy of XP older than six months, and use their key.\nMicrosoft Validation is rooting out illegal copies, so keep off their website...\nAlso try www.autopatcher.com

Do you mean that you want to download Windows XP?\n\nNot something I'd recommend doing - I know you can get hold of copies illegally but who knows what other stuff is going to be bundled in with it.  You could end up causing yourself no end of problems.\n\nBetter to go out and buy a legitimate copy, they're not that much, plus you get warranties/guarantees and proper updates etc.\n\nIf it's instructions that you're after then you don't need any as it's all self explanatory during the installation procedure.

The MS online electronic validation key is $99 for XP Home and $149 for XP Pro, both with SP2.  You can usually find legal versions (recommend full install rather than upgrade) for less at:  www.edirectsoftware.com\n\nYou can do a repair with the full install Cd and enter the new 25 digit Product Key.  That will give you a legal version as well as repair any missing or corrupt files.  You will have to go into the MS Updates to reinstall any patches or hot fixes.  The repair takes about 1 hr, and the reinstalls of fixes/patches about another 30 minutes.

This i would installing Windows Me and partition the drive and then install windows xp. It should install a boot loader. that is basically what you need is a boot loader to choose which version of windows you want to run at a certain time.

When this happened to me I called the phone number provided by the message from XP. They asked for my original license number and asked if I was using the software on more than one computer. The phone operator gave me a new key code to enter. Not a problem, just a hassle.

Without directing you to an illegal site, this information cannot be provided.\n\nThere is no free (and legal) way to download and install Windows XP.

I don't know if there's a key, but there's an icon on the toolbar (in the quick launch section)you can click to get there.\n\nIn Windows 98 it looked like a paintbrush, in XP it's like a lopsided blue target with an arrow (or a pencil) in the middle.

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"

It would be nice if I was able to tell you that this is possible.  Actually it is impossible. \n\nYou have to purchase a new Windows XP Pro. or XP Home.  If you buy a very small item from an OEM, they will sell you the Windows platform for around $100 or less.   \n\nIf and when you do purchase, please stay there and let the technican install the platform while you wait.  You want to be able to see when the technican starts to download Service Pack 2 and NetFrame Work 2, Windows Media Player 10 or 11 an all of the critcal updates.  As Microsoft will check atleast four times with their WGA tool to verify that the key is valid for each an every download.  \n\nThere are alot of criminal type technicans, who will open a new box with the CD and run it for themselves, friend or member of their family.  Then they use equipment to reseal the package.  An when some poor unknown person comes along they will purchase that platform and Microsoft will say the key is not valid.\n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France

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.

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
