View Full Version : Windows XP PRO Corp Edition Question
When I installed XP pro corp on my comp everything was fucked, It didnt have the xp style theme, it had the oldschool style. When I right clicked on the taskbar and picked toolbars->Quick launch it said could not perform operation or somethin along those lines. When I tried it open Gpedit.msc that was fucked up also, It opended but popped up like 5 errors. Is pro only meant for certain kinds of comps or somethin?! Now im stuck download this 2 DVD set with every windows version to date. Im just gonna use XP Home edition corp I guess. :dry: :frusty: So what I did was just reinstall XP home from the cd that came with my comp. No activation needed :D I guess my only option for my new comp is to use xp home edition corp on it? :unsure:
Some of those "Every windows version to date" disks are a POS.
If you wanted XP Pro Corp why didn't you find and dl that? It fits on a single cd, not 2 dvd's of corrupted crap. And it works on any pc that Home edition works on too.

I did dl corp, burned it to a CD and it fucked up. Dunno about that dvd tho, I aint waitng 65 hours and somethin mins for one fuckin iso to finish that I cant even burn.
Sorry, I musunderstood, I thought you meant you installed XP Pro Corp from one of those "All Versions" disks.
You should get exactly the same desktop theme after installation with XP Pro as you get with XP Home. Sounds like you got someone's personalised (pronounced "fucked up") version.

There is no 'Home Edition Corp' version of Windows XP.

Chewie, I just checked one of my disc and there is a Home Corp. Ed.
It has the Corp. files slipstreamed into the home edition, although I haven't tried it as I have no need for it.

I don't think the downloads went bad. I think that you have downloaded someones customized (stripped) CD. Try to find a Windows XP Corporate Edition with SP2 slipstreamed. Check the verified section.
@chinook_apache, no I was asking Linkin Park.

Torrentspy?
Torrentit?
pisexy (SP1)?

There are plenty to choose from, but best options are probably from private trackers..

The links within this thread are the perhaps, IMO, the best versions of XP Pro Corp w/SP2 available anywhere.

Well I guess it would be a clean install. I format the C: drive. Which is the user partition. the D: partition is where I have all my stuff like music and stuff on. :blink: :frusty:

The problem lies somewhere between the screen and the chair.
Also i have 9 different versions of XP and they have all worked at least once.

So the problem is me?... :dry: I know how to reformat a comp. :pinch: :frusty: :angry:
Maybe theres a special way to install this? I usually just boot it up off the disk and go thru that whole format process. Isnt that how its done?

Is the drive set to LBA mode? Maybe you could tell us more about the problem? Like the full specs?

LBA mode is a setting in the BIOS for the HDD configuration.

I wouldn't put it past you, seeing as your not even reformating your computer, your simply formatting it, reformatting it would to format it, then directly after format it again :blink: .

TBH not without looking at the PC myself no, and all we can do really unless we have had the same problem is guess. First thing i would go with is what i call a Bone Edition of XP, i use it on lower spec pc's, its only 150mb and has the full Windows XP on there just the themes, pictures, screensavers, WMP, and so on removed so its a stipped down. Basically it only installs what needs to be installed so that way we could find out if its a Windows Extra, the pc itself, the copy you had or what. Im afriad it looks like its either XP Home or some hard core trail and improvement.

Just covering all the bases here, so my apologies if I am sounding idiotic, however are you choosing to completely wipe the previous partition that XP was installed upon then creating a new one?
Hell... if you were running an OEM version of XP Home prior to this, then odds are you have a D:\ partition as a backup drive. You can safely wipe that one as well and gain the extra harddrive space.

I dunno if its an OEM, It came with the comp (home edition) with all the drivers and shit in it. I need the D partition to keep my tunes and stuff on. Is it ok to wip the previous partition with xp on and create a new on on it with pro?... :blink:

If you could tell us the model of that Gigabyte board then we could help you find the drive settings in the BIOS. Look on the board itself.
Edit: I just thought of something else to try. Do you have another PC and a spare HDD? You could do a test installation on the other PC with the HDD. You would at least eliminate the question about if the XP CD is ok or not.
