use a program to rip your winxp disk into an ISO file. then use a program called nLite to slipstream Sata drivers into an ISO file of your winxp disk. then burn the iso back to CD and boot with it. do a Google for "slipstream xp nlite" without the quotes and you will soon find a tutorial.

You want to take windows xp off your dell latitude cpi and install windows 98 se how can you do this?

You can create a bootable MS-DOS floppy disk, and put on it the utility which is called format.com. After that you boot your PC up from the floppy disk and use format.com to format the partion where windows xp is installed. Before you start you have to make sure that you have a windows xp installtion CD and a serial number for the windows xp. After you have formatted the partion boot up your PC from the installation CD and follow instructions. Better Idea - If Windows XP was installed with NTSF formatting, this idea won't work. You should do "fdisk" from a bootable floppy before you install Win98. This way the installation will properly format the disk for your new installation. Why don't you go back to Windows 2000 instead of 98?? It crashes a lot less often and will run fine on the old cpi. You will still need 128mb memory for either one to run decent.

Is hard disk install with floppy cable?

Not in a computer that featured a floppy drive as standard. Computers with floppy drives (4 years old or older) used 34-pin connectors for the floppies and 40-pin (PATA or IDE) cables for the hard drives. Modern computers use Serial ATA, and some SATA floppy drives are available, but they are not common.


What is the serial code real of windows 7?

Each legal copy of Windows 7 comes with its own unique serial number. The serial number matches the relevant entries in the computer's registry. If you get a copy of Windows 7 (from a friend for example) and install it on your own computer, it will display a message similar to 'This copy of Windows is not genuine. Go on-line to resolve this issue'. If you continue to use the copy - not only will you continually get reminder messages about 'going authentic' - but you are also breaking the law !

Is it possible to install Windows OS on two computers with a single installation CD?

Yes you can. All the information on the CD works the same on all computers. The only thing that will change is the serial number. Each serial number has to be registered to only one computer. One setup CD will install as many times as you need although you must purchase a new key for each install.
