Thank you. There is never a need to activate Windows since it's already and perpetually activated. PA Bear already provided good instructions in one of the other threads you began. Here is the link he provided again:. You should definitely have everything you need to successfully reinstall Windows and upgrade it saved to your external hard drive first, including your SP3 standalone executable, IE8 installation file, antivirus installation file, all your drivers, etc.
Make sure you have everything handy before you format your drive!!!! You are making things more confusing about using the word Repair. By all means, copy your data to an external drive. Then copy it back whenever you'd like. Backing up "program files" like those belonging to Microsoft Office won't work. You will need to reinstall all your programs. You can Google for more information or post to an AOL user forum.
As far as the data you do want to save, only you know the answer to this. Yes, most will likely be in your My Documents folder, but you may have saved files to any old place on your hard drive. Just go through every folder and see what you want to save. If you're not sure, copy every single file you have! In reply to Daavee's post on November 7, Currently I am backing up my documents and desktop but I will need to learn how to backup files of contacts within microsoft outlook, aol etc 2 run a malware scan on the external hard drive.
I will try to keep it as simple as possible. Service packs SP are actually the updates of their respective programs. SP3 is nothing but just an update of Windows having the latest security and maintenance features. So SP3 can be installed ie. Windows can be upgraded from SP2 as well as it can be removed ie. Here there won't be a reinstallation disk, but you will have the Windows Setup disk, which will have the reinstall command. The disk you are having is probably the one with the Windows XP setup, as I have.
So, I am sorry I can't help with this point. Do not change the hard drive for a different service pack. If it was preinstalled, then it means that it has a setup pack.
Just download and install it. If you want to downgrade, just uninstall it. Thus you need them to identify the specific hardware. However you can install the driver at anytime. So it would be waste to download now and save on the desktop as it will be deleted during reinstallation. If you want to save the drivers, then save them in a CD or some other external drive pen drive etc.
But I have never tried this thing before, I automatically got the ethernet connection read by my System. I would recommend you to do so. It is always better. Even if something bad happens, don't worry until your repair CD is not broken and you can't get another repair CD. Nothing will happen and try it again until the repair is done. So ensure that the power is there. If something like that happens, don't worry, once again charge your laptop and start the installation once again.
So until you don't format the whole system for reinstallation, you should mainly concentrate on the ones in your system drive. So you can see and save all that you need from this. So, I think that this might be useful, but I would once again suggest not to completely rely on my article, as I am not a professional person, just a person using Windows XP since 6 years.
I have experience but since this is a bigger issue of OS, you might want to rely on a professional for this case. In reply to needhelpwithwindowsxp's post on November 7, Sorry, but I need to bail out. I hope someone else can help you. This installation package may still be on the computer from the first time that you installed the later version of Internet Explorer. Locate the installation package in the folder in which you saved the files. Note This package may be located in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
To connect to the Microsoft download site, you must have a functional Web browser. If Internet Explorer 6 does not work on the computer after you uninstall the later version of Internet Explorer, you cannot download the Internet Explorer installation package. Therefore, you will have to use a computer that has a functional Web browser to download the Internet Explorer installation package.
Then, use a shared network drive to install the program from the downloaded installation package on this other computer onto the repaired computer. If you cannot use a shared network for this purpose, copy the Internet Explorer installation package onto a CD on the second computer. Then, use this CD to install Internet Explorer on the first computer.
