    Keith_Mccormack,

     

    Please follow these steps for assistance:

    Step 1 is to run the utility at this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012, then click the Windows tab, click the "Copy" button, then paste the report into a response in this thread.

    Step 2 is to look on the computer or with the materials you received with the computer or with your retail purchase of  Windows to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).  If you have one, tell us about the CoA.  Tell us:

    1.  What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or Media Center, or another version of Windows?

    2.  Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?

    3.  Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?

    4.  DO NOT post the Product Key printed on the CoA.

    Not sure what to look for?  See this page for reference:  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx

    I'm trying to do the same thing.  I need to replace the hard disk and I don't have any cd's for the two similar systems I have.

    I trying to do a clean install.  I have CoA on both machines.  Black letters with HPQ.  Product key without "OEM" in the middle.  Compaq machines just after HP purchase I guess.  Can I use "any" old OEM CD with sp2?  Does it have to be specific to Compaq and/or HP, or is a generic one ok.

    I don't have WGA on this one machine since the other has it and I use it to upgrade and browse.  This machine just runs CAD and I don't want any extra processes or services (no auto update, no antivirus, no nothing...).

    Thanks,

    HP and Compaq Desktop PCs -  Obtaining a Recovery CD or DVD set

    Thanks but doesn't work (see below from HP site and phone call to verify):


    This is a business only computer.  It had only XP Pro and no media center extra ***.
    So the question again,  is, what kind of CD can I use.  Through my company I have 
    access to corporate CD's in the IT support department.  

    1.  Is there just a generic CD?  What do I look for?
    2.  Can I use that, or do I have to get special disk (since I don't have a machine with  "OEM" in the key.?
    3.  I have the all the drivers from the Compaq site before it went away.
    4.  The machine was loaded with a generic key that doesn't match the CoA on the box.
    5.  The number is close, so I suppose that was the number they used to image the machines originally, or...
    6.  Our IT department may have reimaged machines when they arrived.  Noody remembers.
    7.  HP only has the media center set.

    Step 2: Order recovery CDs on the Web
    If you are not able to create a set of recovery discs, you may be able to order a set of replacement discs from HP. HP maintains a stock of replacement recovery discs for several years after the product has been released. However, because of licensing restrictions, HP is only able to provide these recovery discs for a limited time. If your computer is several years past its warranty period, HP may not be able to supply replacement discs for your computer. If this is the case, you can install a new operating system that meets the minimum system requirements of your computer, or, alternatively, upgrade your computer hardware.
    To find out if HP has recovery discs that you can order and to order them from HP, use the following steps: NOTE: The steps in this section apply to United States and Canada . For Europe, Middle East, and Africa please refer to the HP support document Europe, Middle East, and Africa - Statement on the Availability of the Recovery Software on CD . For other countries/regions, contact your local HP support center for information about obtaining recovery CDs.

    Go to the Software & Driver Downloads page .
    Enter the product number or model name for your computer into the field provided.
    Figure 1: Product name/number field

    Click the operating system link (the version of Windows that came with your computer).
    Figure 2: Example of operating system link

    Find the Recovery Disc ordering section and click the link to start the ordering process. NOTE: Before trying to order, make sure that you have read the important "Read this..." information listed in this Recover Disc ordering section.
    NOTE: If the link to order a recovery disc set is not available , there may not be any more sets available for purchase. HP cannot create recovery discs that contain a version of Windows that has been obsoleted by Microsoft, such as Windows 95, 98, and Me. Some recovery disc sets may have run out of stock and may not be available to order.

    Hello Jerry,

     

    If your IT dept. has licenses for Windows XP that are available then you will need to speak to them regarding reinstalling the OS on your machine.  If your machine came from HP with Windows XP Pro preinstalled then you will need to contact HP regarding recovery media.  The text you included from their website is just an example of what a customer might see if thats what their computer came with.  If you bought your copy of Windows separately then please visit this website on how to replace lost Microsoft hardware/software: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246.  You will only be able to use a OEM CD if you attempt to use the product key affixed to the side of your computer.

     

    Thank you,

    Hello mattyjn,

     

    It appears that your copy of Windows is genuine, the only issue I can see with your validation is that you may have a trial/beta version of Office installed which will not pass validation.  Can you please explain the issues you are having along with any error messages?

     

    Thank you,
