I would like to get a copy of the CD for our access control system. We lost the original cd

insert original win installation cd and reboot... when in boot mode make sure you are booting from CD, not from disk, when message asking that you "boot up from cd " appears, just press any key, and folow procedure, but do not install a new copy of windows ! There must be "repair your computer" option on your CD, for Win Xp - it is "recovery console" ! When repairing finishes restart computer and boot from disk (just do not press anything when you see message "boot from CD..." and let windows from HDD configure it self).

You may have written over the Recovery Partition when you install Win 8. Have you tried a System Recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Procedure: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/manuals/userguides/su2428485/GMAD00209010_SatA500_09Aug13.pdf Start on page 60. If you boot the Laptop do you see a "D:" drive? When you loaded Win 8 did you choose C drive and leave D intact?

yes i send u ur mail id and u open this link and download it.

Which programs can you not use? There are settings for each program to get full access to if not you can download the Win 7 version of each program that way it gets updated and that you don't have to install Win XP Service Pack 2. If you still have problems then you can email me at: [email protected]. Also if you can take a snapshot of the problems your getting so then I can understand what is causing the problem. Installing Win XP can be installed if you made a partition for it. That way if you still have problems using your applications then you can restart and go to your Win XP boot partition and start using it.

Problems installing from the CD is only if it's been set to boot from the CD and it's configured on BIOS. If the CD is defected then you need to get a new copy of XP and get it to work.

My understanding of this problem is as follows: When you put the Windows XP CD into the drive and switch on the computer Windows starts from the CD. In order to access the CD it uses the BIOS. However, at a certain point it decides to use its own drivers instead of using the BIOS. Oops! it doesn't have the right driver because your CD drive is too new, so it can't read the CD, and thus can't continue the install. The solution then is to copy all the necessary files onto a place where Windows can read the files. Solution 1 Do you have another computer? Take the hard drive out of the machine you are installing and put it into the second machine as a secondary hard drive. Switch on the second machine and copy the i386 directory and all its files and subdirectories from the Windows install CD on to the secondary hard drive. Remove the hard drive and put it back into the machine you are installing and switch it on. When Windows then asks for the missing file you can direct it to the I386 directory on the hard drive. This should be C:\I386. It will ask for the location of about 10 files. Give the same answer each time. Solution 2 You will need a bootable CD such as Hiren's boot CD, and a second CD drive. Put Hiren's into the primary CD drive. Put the Windows CD into the second CD drive. Switch on, and choose the mini XP Copy the I386 directory and all its sub-directories onto the hard drive. Again, when Windows asks for the location of the files direct it to the appropriate directory on the hard drive.

Dell usually supplies all the cd disks your computer was set up to use. the Win xp restore disk will reformat your hard drive with the original partition. I have a dell 4600C desktop and all my original stuff is on the burgundy win xp disk. the auxillary stuff is on the blue cd-s.

Your problem and description does not make sense, any chance by rom  you mean CDROM?

Do you have an original 98 CD? Or a copy. Rather than using caldera, use a 98 boot floppy?

Their are lots of ways to fix this, but i cant quite understand what your wanting to fix, or do.

Give a bit more information and i'm sure we can get you going.
