Can someone also help me please...i have WINDOWS Xp and recently it has been running slow so i tried to do and full sweep using the recovery Cd for windows Xp but it never works.whenever i try to do a partial or full wipe on my
computer while using the system recovery Cd my computer always gets
stuck on the third step"copying files" while doing that the error
message always appears "can not open H:\preload\data.inp:1392


thanks in advance for your help Are you using an authentic Windows XP CD?

Also, what exactly are you trying to do?i'm trying to reset my computer to the setting from when it was first shiped out from the wearhouse. i'm using the from a box i got to UPGRADE you windows Xp to windows Xp profressional(it HELPS with bussiness stuff)


thanks in advance for your helpNot sure but I don't think you can reinstall Windows XP with an Upgrade Disc.

Can you confirm what you disc you have?

Also, what are the steps you have performed so far?the DISK i'm using is to restart the computer , to do a full sweep i don't think it has ANYTHING to do with the upgrade. the steps it has already completed are
1.Slecting Recovery Option
2.Hard Disk Prepartion
3.Copying Files4.Changing CD-rom
5.Finalizing Recovery

The Cd is Called

"microsoft windows Xp Home Edition"
