The Cd that I used to install windows XP in my PC came directly from the manufacturer, Emachines, actually there are two CD's, one for restoring my PC and the other one is used for installing Windows XP Homre edition but it doen't have 'Repair Windows'
I have two problems: one, I can't download PDF from the internet because I get the following message error: FoxitReader OCX.ocx, this error messsage is related directly with the installion of Foxit Reader program that edits PDF so I uninstalled the program but still I had the same problem, then I restored my PC but the problem was not fixed f
Second, When I installed Windows in my PC just three weeks ago, due a virus problem, I noticed three weeks later that a file was missing in the directory of MY Documents and Settings which was the Internet Temporary Files, I know that is in my PC because when I used one of some programs that I have to delete temp files in the results obtained it showed that there were some Temporary Internet Files found, sometimes there are temp files that I cann't be deleted after the scannig process so I have to delete them manually.
Six years ago I ordered Service Pack 2 on a CD from Microsoft, I only paid S&H to get it, I wonder if I could get a copy of Windows XP home edition from Microsoft,without paying a full price for it because I have my XP Home edition serial that I got from eMachines when I purchased my PC. I need help Thanks Carlos Delavega

if the operating system is very bad you can restore from the recovery partition which is already existing on your computer.
however, you should be able to go in the computer manufacturer website and install from there.... maybe even get the entire dvd/cd from there. what manufacturer computer is yours?
This procedure demonstrates how to install Windows XP Professional.
The procedure to install Windows XP home edition is very similar to the
professional edition. Since Windows XP Pro is more advanced operating
system, it will be used to demonstrate the installation procedure.
The
best way install Windows XP is to do a clean install. It is not
difficult to perform a clean installation. Before you perform the
installation I recommend that you check
to ensure that your hardware is supported by XP. If your hardware is
not on the compatibility list you can check your hardware manufactures
website to download the drivers for Windows XP. Save all the necessary
drivers onto floppy disks or CD before you start the installation.
No you cannot, especially if the laptops are different make/model. You need a Windows XP Home installation CD and the installation code that is printed on the Windows label on the bottom of the laptop.
It means that your computer is missing a file that windows xp needs to run boot properly or is missing a program that your home edition xp needs. Repairing the OS or windows xp home edition by means of your xp instalation cd will do the job. Just insert your xp installation disk to your cd/dvd rom and select install windows xp home edition. Then select ( repair ), and so on let it finish repairing . Once your system rebooted, let it run without pressing enter or space bar. Just watch and let your computer do the job. This will probably solve your boot problem. But before doing all of this, please check your IDE or SATA cable and also the power cable that is connected to your hard drive. Try to unplug and plug again to ensure a good connection. If this won't work, you can proceed repairing Your windows xp installation or reinstalling a new xp operating system. Have a nice day and i hope i was in any help to you friend.
Find a friend with either a "retail" Windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM disk,
or with an 'OEM' ("original equipment manufacturer") equivalent.
Use that disk, plus the 25-character product-key on the label on the side of your computer,
to reinstall Windows, or first to try to "repair" your installed copy of Windows.
Or, if you have a "brand-name" computer (Dell, HP, IBM, Lenovo, Acer, Gateway, eMachines)
telephone the manufacturer, and order a replacement "System Restore" set of CD-ROM disks.
Probably about $20, plus $20 for overnight-courier.
Ask your friends to borrow either a "retail" Windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM (bought when XP was available in retail stores) or an "OEM" (Original Equipment Manufacturer) version. The OEM version was used by Microsoft-licensed "system-builders" (small computer-stores that assemble computers from the individual components, and then install this "generic" version of Windows).
If you have the "genuine Windows" decal on the side of your desktop, use that 25-character product-key and the "borrowed" CD-ROM to reinstall Windows.
If you have the original software from which it was installed from you can use that CD.
All you need besides the CD, is the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) For your installation to actually be genuine. If you do not have the Original software/Installation CD, then that is one thing you need to obtain.
You should be able to reinstall from another XP Home Edition OEM CD so if you know someone who has a computer which came with XP Home Edition preinstalled you should be able to use their Cd, you'll still have to download the drivers for your pc though.
