License: Freeware Free File Size: 4. File Name: wuinstall. File Name: amilo. File Name: bkfrepair. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. Not enough information. Not enough pictures. Any additional feedback? Submit feedback. Thank you for your feedback! My cursory test of a later version, 2. Therefore, you should avoid 2. Either use the earlier version or get a version later than 2. Do not add or delete anything from the file. A dialog box will open.
If you can't find a "Load Project" item on the File menu, it means you did not carry out the previous step. Go back and do it. Click the "Labels" tab on the right side of the screen. Change the label in the ISO field to one of the following, depending on what type of bootable setup CD you're making.
This step is probably optional if you can't be bothered. I seem to recall having entered a wrong label in the past without having the Windows installer fail on me. Finally, click the "Write" icon at the bottom of the window. To find out which picture the "Write" button is there are no visual cues, even as to which picture actually represents a button , hover your mouse over the pictures near the bottom of the window and wait for the tooltip to appear.
When you hover your mouse over the correct picture, a tooltip will appear with the text "Write". Note: depending on your version of ImgBurn, your icon may read "Build" instead of "Write".
A dialog box will probably pop up saying something like "You've only selected 1 folder! Return to that paragraph and complete the step before continuing. At this point, the bootable Windows setup disk will be created. Voila, if all goes well, the Windows installer starts up and you're on the way to reinstalling your system. If you encounter any problems, you've probably missed a step somewhere. Missed steps account for the majority of the problems encountered by those who try this out.

There are at least a few reasons why you might need a bootable Windows Setup disc: Very often, people want to reinstall a system to remove the crap that comes preinstalled on their system. The manufacturer typically installs tons of demo and trial software, toolbars and other junk that clutter up your system and slow it down. Uninstalling these programs takes a lot of time, and even when it is done, there are still residual pieces of the previous installation littered across your hard disk and the registry.
In such a situation, it is useful to reinstall a pristine copy of Windows, load the drivers and only the software you actually want to use. No keys would even be required for the exact same machine. However, if the purpose is to install the OS on a different computer, say a replacement unit, then an original setup disk would be needed.
The easiest way to get a copy of an original disk other than buying one is to borrow and copy a disk from a friend. This would be perfectly legal provided you have your own install keys, as you suggest. One additional thought: It might be possible to create a new installation CD if you have access to the CAB files that could have been loaded onto the computer with the original install.
This is only a remote possibility if the original install was done by loading and installing the OS, however. Finding CAB files is either dead easy — they are located on the root directory C: — or they are impossible to find.
Realistically, the idea of copying the CAB files is pretty remote, because only a limited number of independent manufacturers ma and pa computer stores use this easy to find method. Major vendors use a different method of managing the installation process and the CAB files tend to be spread out and buried.
Even the extension names have been changed to confuse the innocent. Someone on page1 was making a correction to the EULA limits and such and it appeared it was turning into a discussion. It seems to be a real greedy move that MS is soon to stop supporting XP which I use and as a partial result people that make software will stop making the software compatible with XP.
Also I am a little lost in the case that my XP get corrupted again or stops working again and I have to re-install it. I have been out of work for over a year and surely cannot afford to 1 buy a new operating system and thus 2 buy a new computer so that the operating system can function or at least not function at a greatly reduced rate. If a company is going to pretty much abandon what it had charged me for should I not have some freedoms with it?
Too many companies make products that are sub-standard and can easily get away with it. I think with this continued greed at the forefront we are headed into a future that is much darker for the majority of people. Oh, Dave…. Dave- I admit it. This is a pretty darn good website for people with all sorts of questions.
So, I have a few chasis laying around, some extra hard drives — large enough to put xp or even 98 on them…. Same with the HP Pavillion dv i think lap top I bought at Cosco a few years ago — no installation disks, or back up disks what so ever. That lap top is now in pieces on my piano. That lap top, I would like to take one of the hard drives out, and put it in my used thinkpad — with the windows xp software that was on it to begin with…..
Thank you ever-so!! Your newest fan, Tam. WOW…what an excellent site. After reading the whole page, I feel comfortable with the question I had, being answered more than once with slightly different ways of doing it. My only question now is how do I wipe out my hard drive on Dell B Inspirion to reinstall.
