I have no CD - how do I get at Windows XP setup?

hi I'm trying to install east asian language files and it's telling me I need the xp cd. how should I solve this issue? thanks

Hi Leo,

Look I have a HP Laptop with Xp Pro like 3 years ago. I have varius problems with the system so I tried to restore my computer with the recovery partition included in my HP laptop but seem that is a problem with that partition, so I couldn't restore my Laptop. What I should do.

I'd like to run sfc on a Gateway tablet PC for which I have no installation disk. I can boot to XP, but the computer logs off shortly after the Personal Settings are loaded. Is there a way to run sfc from something like the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows?

There is a recovery partition on the computer, but I presume that this would only permit a clean install of Windows. Also, I presume that an upgrade install of a tablet PC using just a XP Pro disk will be of no avail.

After I tried to reinstall an old VGA Driver, when I boot up my PC, and after showing the Windows XP Loading screen, there's a black out in my screen. But when I tried to log in by using my keyboard, I can log in... What can I do?

I deleted the files so my computer wont start and I dont have the xp disc it says corrupt or missing file

Yep, that's a problem. There's nothing I can add or help you with. You need a Windows Installation CD.

I have the same issue as JP and I was also wondering if I can get the east asian language files

I do have windows XP But, I lost the cd and it tells me I need it ..

Hi Leo, just a quick clarification (thanks for doing this site btw) - if you have an infected computer and you're attempting to do a fresh install from a CD image on that infected computer, don't you run the risk of keeping the virus on the system even with a fresh install? Or have virus not yet figured out how to corrupt win32nt.exe? Just wondering, thanks...

When you do a reformat and reinstall you're erasing all files (including viruses) from your hard disk, and reinstalling from the original CD which could not have been modified by a virus.
