Some say it'll be ok, others say not. Apparently my new XPS has the Vista product key information embedded into its motherboard so it will not ask for a product key when using the original reinstallation cd that comes with my Which means if I use the Windows XP reinstallation cd, it'll ask me for a product key that I don't have I think?
The OEM Windows setup Dell uses does not ask for a product key when being installed, but will prompt for a product key on Product Activation if it thinks your Windows is not installed on the appropraite machine, at which point you cannot use your Vista product key to activate your Windows XP unless that is you have a Vista Business license or above. If two computers are different models, mine is a Latitude and the disk I want to use is from an Inspirion can I use the dell reinstallation cd if they are both running XP.

And the same for the drivers, the updated drivers could be downloaded somehow to the external drive and then somehow go to the right place after operating system installation? How do i find each driver that is old to make sure it seeks a new driver that is on the external drive?
Where are all the drivers populated to go through the process? Do I somehow skip this step by not installing the drivers on the dll cd and somehow install drivers from the external drive the first time. How do I do this? I use windows xp sp3 and I have a disk from dell that is a reinstallation cd Microsoft windows xp home edition service pack 2: Also I have microsoft office and if I have any problems with it I reinsert the cd and it enables repairs.

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.
