[Chalkywhite]

Hi, I have a laptop that was running slow so i decided to restore/wipe it clean but later realised i dont have any back ups or windows discs all i have now is a white dot at the top of the screen ive been looking around to buy or download windows xp, does anyone have any ideas what i might need to download to get the laptop up and running any advice appreciated.

Hi. If You need to reinstall windows only you can download it from any torrent tracker. There are so many cracked with no serial or need to be activated. Download some iso, burn it to CD or make usb flash bootable and install from it. Good luck

Hi its, Product HP G5000 S/N CND7431WN9
P/N GH972EA*ABU.
I Think the product key for windows is Dont put that here silly :), but its not very clear, thanks.

[Cod3waX]

oi take off ur product key rite now unless u want it stolen

around the serial there will be written Microsoft Windows Xp Professional or Home etc...

What version do u have?

i ask this because the original product key must match the same version of xp to work
also u prob will have to start with SP1 and work ur way through the updates to get back to sp3

considered windows 7?

[Chalkywhite]

I Have xp, but cant see anymore info on the bottom of the laptop, can i load 7..?

[Cod3waX]

download and install this Download uTorrent 3.2.1 Beta 27718 - FileHippo.com (http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/)
then download this file using utorrent
( NO TORRENTS OR LINKS TO BE POSTED:rulez: ) once downloaded burn the image to dvd and install win 7 ultimate 64 bit first
if it fails install the 32 bit version
once installed and loaded into win 7 use this key loader to make it genuine
use forceful mode and when promted to restart do so


heres a xp home sp1 torrent that can be burned to a cd and installed http://bitsnoop.com/microsoft-windows-xp-home-edition-s-q1384320.html

[Chalkywhite]

Yes it failed, think i need the 32 bit version.

[Cod3waX]

32bit should be on that same that same disc
if u cant see 32bit look for 86bit this is the same as 32bit

if you want to load windows 7 try the following link they are iso files with no product key so before the 30 day activation period has expired use a boot loader to keep them updated.

Some of the old computers just will not work with 7, Laptops (older ones) don't have drivers for many built in parts like video and others. Some BIOS's will not see higher amounts of RAM.

If you have the tools to burn an image I can post the 32bit ver. of W7 with the "FIX" or the XP pro corp w/sp3 (no need to be activated).

PM me if interrested.
