Hewlitt Packard...  It is best to buy a new complete XP computer system.. Including Printer, keyboard, monitor, external drives etc.. Do not add any old harware to XP.... Windows XP does like OLD hardware and nor does it like some of the older software..  All computers are likely to get viruses if you use email or the internet.  So do install a good antivirus such as Norton AntiVirus.  \nE

Not if the current XP laptop had XP installed at the factory.\n\nIf you have the installation disk for Windows XP (note: NOT the recovery disk for the current XP laptop), then sure, you can install XP on the ME laptop.\n\nOtherwise, you'll have to buy (unless you have some other means of acquiring...) an upgrade to XP CD (which is not as expensive as the full installation CD).

if you bought the pc new, the xp software is preloaded.  OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) software typically includes the then-current OS  and recovery disks or hard drive petitions with recovery software to reset the computer to it's original specs.  Using this recovery software will typically cost you any data you already have onboard.  go to www.support.hp.com to download any support items you need... you will be required to provide your computer's and your personally id'able info, but it is a secure site

There is no program available that will automatically do this. You need to either know the make and model of your original computer, or the statistics such as processor speed, hard drive space, and amount of RAM. You can see the minimum system requirements for Windows XP at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/evaluation/sysreqs.mspx

Check to see if your computer will support running Windows XP Professional. \nRecommended by Microsoft:\n300 MHz CPU *\n128 MB of RAM *\n1.5 GB of available hard disk space *\nSuper VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter with at least 8 MB of video RAM and monitor\nCD-ROM or DVD drive\nNetwork adapter\nSound card and speakers\nKeyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device\n* I recommend a minimum 450MHz CPU, 8GB HDD, 256MB of RAM\n\nthen Purchase an OEM license of Windows XP and replace your current outdated operating system.\nYou can find stores on eBay who sell windows XP OEM version for under $150.

Buy an authetic one from eBay.  It will be cheaper.  Instead of $300 for XP home edition, you can get it for about 80 to 90 bucks on eBay.\n\nOnce you get it, install it and you will have a clean and autheticated installation and full support from microsoft as well as your boot discs.
