How to Reinstall Windows XP Without the CD


Understand that after a while your computer will start to slow down, freeze and have difficulty shutting down correctly. These symptoms are perfectly normal for Microsoft Windows operating systems that should get a clean, fresh start. But sometimes manufacturers do not include a copy of the operating system on a disk. In order to save you money, when purchasing your computer and ultimately saving them money too.
1)Access the copy of the operating system on the hard drive. If manufacturers do not supply a Windows XP CD with the purchase of your new computer, they have most definitely stored a copy in your hard drive for later use. You can easily access this copy of the CD on your hard drive to completely reinstall or format partitions on your computer.
2)Back up your personal data including photos, pictures, documents, favorites, passwords and settings to CD/DVD/USB.
3)Make sure you have your Windows product key/serial number. This could be located on the computer itself, or in the original packaging it was supplied with. If you do not have one, look in the registry or contact your manufacturer immediately for more support regarding the issue.

4)Click on My Computer then C: WINDOWS then i386(Sometimes C:\i386). This is the part where a lot of people get confused. They realise that a copy of their Windows XP CD is here, but they look for the wrong files. Most people will try to find a file named "Setup", "Install", or "Windows". The file you are looking for is called "winnt32.exe".
5)Open this application and proceed with the instructions given. It will lead you through 5 simple phases that will wipe out your computer and reinstall the operating system.
6)Get your product key ready to enter it. Make sure you agree with the terms that should be provided when using the winnt32.exe application.
8)Enter the product key and save it and restart your PC that's it....

ThanQ...
