Need help installing Windows XP Pro sp3 on my Alienware Aurora R5 Skylake CPU or similar.?
You will need a floppy disc drive to add the appropriate SATA drivers so XP can "see" the hard drive to go through the install. Find the XP preinstall sata driver (aka "F6 Driver") for whatever chipset is used on that motherboard, unpack it to a floppy and run the XP install by booting from the XP setup disc, with the USB floppy also connected. Hit F6 at the prompt to install additional drivers... Alternatively you can make a new XP install image with the drivers integrated. As others note, standard XP is 32 bit and you will only be able to use 4GB address space. You can find drivers for most stuff that work with XP; try vista or 7 drivers for things not listed against XP as a lot of the driver packages from when those first came out also included XP support, even if not listed. XP64 exists but drivers for that are far harder to find, some are simple impossible - makers never bothered creating them.. 64 bit systems did not become mainstream until vista / Win 7.. Edit - it appears the R5 uses a Z170 chipset. This article details installing XP on a [different] machine that uses the same chipset, so the same procedure [and hopefully drivers] should work: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showt...

Windows XP boot up hangs at hpdskflt.sys?
It is a file from a Hewlett Packard device which has been corrupted or removed data from the registry. Go into safe mode if possible and unistall any Hewlett Packard devices you have and reinstall the drivers and software. Edit: Gee that is messed up. The point of safe mode is it only loads the basic drivers just to get Windows running such as keyboard and mouse. Maybe the problem is deeper than just that file, I have run out of what else I can offer you.

I need the Windows Xp recovery disc for my Acer Aspire One Zg5 Notebook?
You can purchase a recovery disk off Acer which will be mailed to you, alternatively you can buy a CD off ebay, or find a download of it. There is a version called Performance edition which is only 200 or so MB, but I believe this is an illegal pirated version, and will require downloading drivers for your hardware.

Yes, if you have a valid COA, or Certificate Of Authenticity, you can legally install Windows XP on your netbook again.If you look on the case of your netbook, there should be a colorful sticker that has the number you can use to install. This is the COA.If you contact HP, you may be able to get the original factory install disks for a small charge. These would restore the operating system to the original factory condition.
