I'm trying to fix a friend's old laptop after his HDD crashed and burned. The original OS was Windows XP MCE, but I can't seem to find a working download for an.iso to reinstall it. It was extremely high-end laptop back in it's day, but's it's still not worth it to buy new Windows to put on it. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
If I can't find a working.iso to install, then I'll probably end up putting a Linux distro on it. But my friend would VERY much prefer to stick with what's familiar to him and I can't really blame him. I'm trying to fix a friend's old laptop after his HDD crashed and burned.

Among many of us i am also using windows XP SP3 on my home computer. I need to Reinstall Windows XP service pack 3, but my CD got misplaced on house shifting. I searched a lot from internet but when i download XP i Encountered with errors. Most of the time server wont completely let me download the copy.

Quickbooks pro plus 2011 validation code generator. I had to use nLite to get my in-the-box XP CD to install on a Panasonic CF-52.

When I google Windows XP SP3 ISO i found first result which looks legit but cannot say for sure i clicked and it starts downloading. Hope it works, i will also clean it up before using. Just in case anyone hits the XP SP3 ISO on archive.org, NORTON 360 did not like 'DPL1412241.7z' in the OEM subdirectory. I used nLite (thankyou, BleepingComputer) to unpack the ISO to an SD card, deleted the file, then used nLite to create a new ISO. I have an old Dell Inspiron 8000 that is the test target. It's a good thing my wife is also a computer engineer.
My home office looks like the Noah's Ark of computers spanning 20 years and the basement, decorated in Early 80s Digital. No CP/m forum here? This is just an experiment- I have several original XP CD's from Microsoft and specific computers. Edited by BrianVS, 20 September 2016 - 06:23 PM.
My post on the XP service packs is just that; the Service Packs. As stated in the thread, they're legitimate copies of the original standalone Network Administrator install type, and were archived for many years on good-quality CDs. However; since I received clarification from one of the BC staff here, a few days ago, that XP is now officially considered to be 'abandonware', and that links to any XP stuff on the web is now allowed, I think I'm quite safe in posting this link to a full ISO version of XP Professional, with SP3 ready-installed, the 'POS-ready' hack in place, and auto-activation built-in (no activation key required). I can personally guarantee that this works 100%, and has no hidden 'nasties', as I used it for over a year on an elderly Dell Inspiron laptop, which came with it originally. Don't take any notice of where it says 'Home' edition; it's definitely the Pro version. And it works perfectly.

Just be aware that you do get re-directed 3 or 4 times before you reach the download itself. The only reason I stopped using it was because I finally came to the same conclusion I reached originally, when XP went EOL; that XP was really too much for the hardware on that particular machine, which runs far better with a lightweight Linux distro, like Puppy Linux. This version has been updated with all the necessary SATA drivers, and the WGA auto-activates, too.! Whichever version you decide to try, let us know how you get on with it, please. If you're feeling like a bit of a rebel, there's also the 'Black' Edition too, which uses the rare Royale 'Noir' theme, along with loads of extra 'goodies'.
I've tried this, as well, and once again can vouch for it's authenticity. You can also install the 'Royale Noir' theme separately onto any XP install. It is such an improvement over the standard blue 'Royale'. Once again, I've used this, and can vouch for it as being genuine. Finally, if you want to spruce your XP up, and give it some flair, I can thoroughly recommend the XP 'PowerToys'. They truly put the 'finishing touch' to what was always a very good OS.especially the 'Desktop Manager', which gives you multiple 'desktops', just like Linux! And the 'TrueType' one improves the font-rendering enormously.
This download contains every single PowerToy ever released for XP, in one single.zip file! Once again, tested, and vouched for, personally. Hope some of that helps. (Remember, please, that this stuff is totally UNSUPPORTED.so you use it ENTIRELY at your OWN RISK.

The 'Cleaned up' XP from archive.org that (Norton did not like )XP is installing; I'm going to pull the hard drive, put it on a USB adapter, and scan it with Norton 360 after the install. A search on that filename shows that I can download it from a Chinese website if I ever need it again. Edited by BrianVS, 20 September 2016 - 07:31 PM.
