Windows Xp Pro No Sp Iso

So the title says it all for the most part. We are looking to either donate/sell some of our old PCs. However, the only restoration disks that we have for windows XP are home built disks that have a lot of company information including our volume license keys cooked into them. So we are now in need of a windows XP pro SP3 OEM disk or an ISO. I have tried using a technet download iso, however it does not seem to work with OEM licenses. All of the machines have the COA, however we really need this disk and i would rather not take the torrent route.

GUI, I have sent you a PM with a link - no keys are supplied but the ISO is there for you. We too are in the process of moving to 2008 R2 for older apps and 2012 for the newer systems, but for those systems still on 2003 you never know when you need the media.

If someone has an ISO lying around, please let me know it would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Hi GhanaTech, I had a similar issue not too long ago with Windows 7 recovery. I did some research and was eventually able to get it working by doing the following: 1.

First, you need to boot to the repair disk and open the command prompt. Format the new disk/RAID using the Diskpart utility. Instructions I used are found here: 2.

Once the drive has been formatted, it has to be cleaned. This set of instructions on how to do this was very useful to me: 3. Once the two steps above have been completed, recover the image you backed up earlier to the new drive/RAID array. Windows 7 recovery is very picky! Let me know how this works!

We have already donated around 80 workstations and other related items through the Dell Reconnect Program at a local Goodwill location. They get refurbished and sold through Goodwill to those who may not otherwise be able to afford a computer.

Anything that can't be refurbished gets properly recycled. We have no local recycling program so its an easy way for us to dispose of old equipment without impacting the environment and someone in need may benefit. Just pull the hard drive first and make a clock out of them or something.

If you are still wanting to sell them yourselves then properly wipe them and throw Ubuntu or Mint on them. Xylems92 wrote: smjain wrote: You'd need to have the matching vendor OEM also. A Dell OEM XP disc likely won't work on an HP.

Thats interesting. It doesn't seem to be that way in windows 7 or 8. Can anyone else verify this? If this is the case, then i will just end up going with JMarks suggestion. I have seen this a couple times with XP however there are workarounds.

One of the best is a copy of the XP for Refurbished PCs ISO or disk. Ultimately the no OS option is probably still your best route to go. Not only will you have trouble with some HP CDs not working with Dell etc, but different OEM codes will only work with certain discs, (or more correctly, each release of disc will only work with a certain range of OEM codes). Over the years I've had many issues where the code on the COA would not work with the install CD I had, and I would have to get the customer to find the original CD or sell them a new OS, (or computer). It's a pain in the butt.

When I get rid of machines I do a security erase and donate with either a blank hard drive or Ubuntu installed. Wrote: Xylems92 wrote: smjain wrote: You'd need to have the matching vendor OEM also.
