How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install

Contact your vendor for a new disk or look up the particular drivers for them from their site.

What is the make and model of your PC? Be specific please and include the numbers etc.

Please let me stick my two cents in here.

 

Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help really does do what we say on the tin. This is not an attack on you but we have seen time and time again where people only read or follow portions of the advice given in the hope that will do the trick. It almost never does and even when you think it has it hasn't.

 

It is always a good idea to look at the experience of the person who is giving you advice. Look at Seth's, Randy's and Wolfey's for example. They will not have you do anything just to keep you busy.

 

It is frustrating to spend time trying to help and then be "outguessed" by the person seeking help.

 

I was much the same when I joined Idiots. I have learned a lot from that experience hope you will as well!!

Sorry if it appears that im trying to do a quick fix, i really am trying to follow the advice thats given!! thanks beecee.

I fear that you are doing it again!

 

IF you have the right drivers and you are sure. Why are you trying to reinstall them on an already corrupted OS? You were asked to get the drivers in order to properly format your hard drive and not be left in the lurch without the necessary drivers.

 

If you are not sure if you have the correct drivers then by all means ask and make sure. But trying to simply install them without following directions doesn't make sense.

[idots r us i know]

when i re install XP will i be able to get acces to the net on here so i will be able to download the drivers??

[idots r us i know]

sorry beecee, i didnt realise!

[BeeCeeBee]

No get the drivers before you format and put them on a CD. Follow formatting instructions and install the drivers.

If you wipe the hard drive without the drivers you will probably need to get go to another PC to download.

i have my laptop to download and burn to disc!!

 

Ive put my xp disc in and it says i have to reboot to wipe everything and start again but when i do, it just starts back up as normal, what do i need to do?

Thanks

[BeeCeeBee]

There are others on line with far more expertise in this area then I have. My advice is to do nothing except wait for that advice.

 

I am sure it will be forthcoming.

Hello Irui. You need to reset your boot order in the BIOS so that you can boot from your Windows discs. The following article will assist you in doing so.

 

How to Set BIOS to Boot from CDROM

 

The instructions might vary from computer to computer so try to find your way around the BIOS. After you have set the BIOS boot order, boot from the disc and use the instructions in the below article to reinstall Windows.

 

How to install or upgrade to Windows XP

 

After you have installed Windows, install only the necessary drivers which you have on your disc and nothing else. If all is done as instructed, your computer should run at its best. Install the network adapters for your modem and then you will be able to get back online.

 

Note: The Windows reinstall will remove all data and programs. Please backup any necessary data or software before you proceed with the above instructions.

 

After you have done the above, please report back here and we will give you our recommendations so that your computer operates smoothly for some time. Ask anything if you have any doubts.

 

Hope that helps. :)

Do you know if you have a SATA hard drive or an IDE one.

 

Also, do you have a floppy drive and floppy disk?

 

Just need to know before we start.

Ah, quite forgot about it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Scott. :)

 

Irui, you might have a SATA / RAID drive in which case you will have to install their drivers first before Windows can recognize your drive. Please read the following article to learn more about it and how to get around the hindrance.

Let us know how it goes though. Good Luck.

Your computer is very close to being clean, and my suggestion for the video driver solved the scrolling problem. The desktop problem can be easily fixed by using a certain repair utility in SAS. BTW-Go ahead and get the raid driver.

 

Did you use the laptop to get SAS and install it on the desktop?

 

Also, given how close you are to a full resolution, I think an XP install is not only overkill, but very precarious given that you have a custom built system.

[Guest Wolfeymole]

Rather than a "custom built" system Seth I think Idot has been sucked into buying a box he knows nothing about.

 

What I'd do is go back to the shop where he bought it and ask just what components were involved.

 

Then get the drivers for each individual item.

Well he's pretty close to having the computer up and running properly. To repair the final couple of problems should be fairly easy.

 

I just get the feeling that Id has no idea what he's getting into for an installation of an operating system.

 

Anyway, back in a few hours.

[RandyL]

It's your option as to which course of action you choose to take here. If you still wish to attempt to repair this computer please let us know.

 

Whatever you decide please pay very close attention to how to perform the steps and report back in detail on everything as well as answer any questions we may have. Doing so will help us help you.

 

You should also ask yourself how this happened in the first place and rethink your ideas of what is safe and not safe as well as get good security products installed.

 

Good luck.
