| 872127 | 2010-04-02 04:31:00 | hi i just put a new CPU, p4 socket 775 3.2GHZ, into an older PC i had as well as new ram and hdds (one containing xp prof) but on startup it asks me to set up the new cpu in the cmos menu, i tried skiping this step but it went through a long process and went back to that screen after several minutes but now the message doesn't pop up anymore what do i need to do in the bios to get it working? thanks |

| 872128 | 2010-04-02 04:34:00 | I get that all the time on new Builds. First thing I do is go in, set the correct time & Date, make sure the boot order is Optical/HDD, plus alter a few other things, and then load in the OS. Doesn't get that message after the first setup. ( unless you change the CPU of course) |

| 872130 | 2010-04-02 04:53:00 | hi, something is missing in the windows install can you please give me a link to an xp professional recovery disk download | smithinator (15240) | ||
| 872131 | 2010-04-02 05:04:00 | This here (forums.pcpitstop.com) says its the Recovery Console. Its NOT the actual Windows CD that will contain / allow replacement of missing files - you will need a XP Install CD for that. If you are installing a new motherboard on an old /pre installed System, you may have problems. |

| 872132 | 2010-04-02 05:04:00 | You may be better to borrow an instalation CD & see if you can do a restore from that. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 872133 | 2010-04-02 05:07:00 | its missing a system32 file/folder will it replace that? | smithinator (15240) | ||
| 872134 | 2010-04-02 05:12:00 | Only one way to find out. | Driftwood (5551) | ||

| 872136 | 2010-04-02 07:14:00 | Whats it actually missing (exact name) Missing dll files are easy to obtain, folders not so easy. | wainuitech (129) | ||
