Found an old dinosaur(HP Pavillion) in my house the other day an wasn't working from a while back(I think since 07) and decided to fix it. Turned out the ram stick was not properly inserted.I fixed the RAM problem but another problem came up. It took me to a screen where it gave me 5 options. One was start windows normally, two was safe mode, three was safe mode with networking, four is safe mode with command prompt, last is last known good configuration.(Remember its been a while since I turned it on)I selected start windows normally but showed the windows loading screen for like two seconds and gives me a blue screen. I asked my uncle what it was and he told me It was probably infected with a virus and was best to re-install Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I've been looking every where but no luck. Please Help!

Ebay is probably your best bet if you can't find original install disc.

Before I go ahead and spend money I want to make sure there is a copy online. I have the product key sticker on side of the computer.

1. Go to HP and using your model and serial number, find your info (updates, drivers, manuals, ect.) . http://www8.hp.com/us/en/troubleshooting.html

Download the user manual and read about the restore features for your model. 2. Check to make sure your HP model does not have a restore feature, that will give you access to a protected portion of hard drive that contains backup/restore data. The manual should give directions on how to access and restore your computer using those settings. Sometimes HP will have all the discs data available for download to restore your system. IF NOT, (3). Contact HP for a free system disk for your exact model. This will have all the drivers plus win media center. Will save you alot of time and make sure your system work like new.

Don't try to piecemeal it back to working order, you'll just have problems. After you get it back up, be sure to update it using internet explorer windows update.
