    Have you checked if there is a rescue partition on the harddrive? I know most new notebooks don't come with a software cd and all the information is kept on a secondary rescue partition.

I can get you a copy of the 2005 xp tablet edition os, you would have to use your own cd key and activation to make it legal. Although it will install with it's own cd key, licensing requires you to use legal activation and the key that came with your unit. Check with mpcdrivers.com

I know it might not be...moral...but there are OEM ISO versions of XP Tablet Edition out there on bitorrent sites. Now I DO NOT CONDONE downloading one and using the Key supplied in the torrent, I simply am telling you a method to get your hands on an OEM Restore Disc from HP.

Your COA is located under your battery on your tablet. Use that COA in conjunction with the downloaded ISO to remain 100% legal.

I can't download any apps.its telling me I need to upgrade

Either the Operating System (IOS) on the tablet or the tablet hardware itself is too old to run the app(s). Check for and install an IOS update and try again. If the hardware (tablet) is too old, you'll have to replace it to install the app(s).

Why won't words with friends work on my kobo android tabl et but does work on my moto G android phone?

The version of the Android operating system installed on your kobo tablet is likely incompatible with the game, not the tablet itself, whereas the version of the Android operating system installed on the Moto G is compatible with the game. Put it another way: it is as if you are trying to install an application designed for Windows 7 on a computer running Windows XP.

How to reinstall windows xp thinkpad x41

How to Reload Windows XP Without Removing Files Deleting system files, modifying the registry and installing incompatible drivers to Windows XP can damage the integrity of the operating system, rendering it inoperable. Virus infections are often responsible for making the aforementioned changes to a system, but employees who have administrative access to the workstation can make deleterious modifications to the OS as well. Reinstalling Windows XP can repair the OS, but if work-related files are stored to the system partition, all of the data will be erased during the installation process. To reload Windows XP without losing files, you can perform an in-place upgrade, also known as a repair installation.

Step 1
Insert the Windows XP CD into the optical drive and then press "Ctrl-Alt-Del" to restart the computer. Step 2Press any key when prompted to load the contents of the disc. Press "Enter" on the Welcome to Setup screen.
Step 3 Read the license agreement, pressing "PgDn" to scroll down the page. Press "F8" to agree to the terms. The CD will search for previous installations of Windows XP. Step 4
Press "R" to repair the selected operating system. The disc will begin reinstalling the operating system to the hard drive without affecting personal files. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the repair installation. Step 5
Log in to Windows XP and sign on to the Internet when installation completes. Click "Start," "All Programs" and then "Windows Update." Step 6
Click "Scan for Updates" to search for applicable service packs and hotfixes to reinstall to the OS. Step 7
Click "Install Now" to bring the in-place upgrade up-to-date.
Things Needed
  • Windows XP CD

Tip
  • Make sure you have your Windows XP product key (found on the CD cover or on the computer case) available prior to reinstallation.

Warnings
  • If possible, back up your files previous to the installation in case something goes awry during the process.
  • You will need to reinstall all non-native programs and removable devices after performing an in-place upgrade.

Tried the same thing and got the same result using the motion computing DVD/CD external reader/burner.

Has anyone found an answer to this problem of trying to switch to a larger hard drive on the 1600 with format/installing? The new hard drive was not able to read the recovery disk with OS on it.
Thanks.

Fresh vista install won't take and laptop acts all goofy

seems like a hardware problem...Hard Disk Probably.but don't take chances...first remove any external hardware attached [usb,printer etc.remove the battery also]then try to install the OS use another CD or you can even use Windows XP.Make sure you change the SATA setting in the BIOS for XP. You did not mention the error message or when does it hangs while installing Vista.Try changing the Hard Disk.If there's still problem then it's your motherboard. As far as overheating is concerned you need to see how long does it remain powered on.And when you switch it on again does it turns off quicker than before. Take it to the service center.
