I found the ISO on the web, downloaded & burned on friends computer, and I put it in my pc and everything worked fine. I selected upgrade, because I couldn't find my exact software. And it all went fine, until I saw the PC say "cannot copy cmprops.dl_" Then I hit retry but it didn't work, so I...

^ Okay, so where can I get an XP ISO?

^ Both, I'm asking if I can make a XP CD from a Vista machine and burn it on the same machine. Also, I'm sorry I took so long to reply(was having problems with internet provider).

^ Okay I will try it now. My cd won't burn anything.Can I use another PC in my house to burn the windows xp cd? It has Vista though.

^ This is all I get from the site. XP Repair install Please read carefully and make sure you followed the warning links before initiating the Repair Install. You can print a text version for reference. repair.txt 1. Boot the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order...

^ How do I do a repair install without a cd? It only explains how to install a fresh win xp on there, erasing everything.

^ Okay, but what do I do if I can't find it?

I need help with one more thing. I got the software, but my brother's CD is Windows XP 05 Media Center SP3 I have SP2, so I don't see a recovery. I don't even see a upgrade I only see new install should I do that? Could I recover my files with a new install or should I keep looking for my cd?

^ Oh okay I understand thank you.

^ Ok thank you. I just have one more question let's say I did use the Linux it would just find all the deleted files and put them all back where they were?

I can't find my install cd... I'll get the software somehow though.

Oh I see. Then how can other OS retrieve files for the other?

^ Oh okay, so if I want I can use a Linux cd to get my data back? I though linux was an OS lol.

^ Okay so let me get this straight this will fix my problem and I keep all my files? Slave it internally? What's that and how do I do it? Linux live? Which one would you reccomend out of the two? Since I don't own an external hdd or another computer.

^ I have one, but can I just do a repair install with the disc without deleting/erasing anything?
