Windows Forum / Windows XP / Setup and Deployment / November 2003reinstallation of WinXPHome from OEM Home Edition to a reformatted HDD
windos XP on my second computer lost a few files and even with a $35 help from Support I could not relace them. Without those files the computer does not recognize Hardware annd neither Monitor nor isplay appear in the list of Device Manager. I remember that to reinstall XP I had to copy the file WINNT.EXE from I386 folder to newly formatted C: and execute but I forgot what parameters to add to start the Setup. Any wizard around? d > windos XP on my second computer lost a few files and even > with a $35 help from Support I could not relace them.

I can't imagine why you've been told to go about it in such an odd way, unless you have a very strange OEM CD. But even those are bootable and are designed to be easy to use. No need for copying files or adding esoteric commands. I have two OEM XP CDs a PRO and a aHome. Neither of the two is bootable. The only bootable CD is a W98 i got with my laptop 4 yrs ago. Any better info? >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >. All of the XP CDs are designed to be bootable, so if that's not working, it's a problem with your computer setup. Have you checked in the bios to make sure it's set to boot from CD first? Of course, it could be an issue with the CD drive itself. In any case, you can download a set of 6 floppies from MS that will boot the computer and start the setup process. Make sure you get the right set. > I have two OEM XP CDs a PRO and a aHome.
