1.	Solve : Need help putting a Validated Copy of windows on this PC.?
Answer» Hi my friend gave me this tower. My old one FELL out of the truck when i was moving. I was fairly upset. Well I got this thing on but I noticed there is a star like icon in the tray and it says 'your system may be at risk' I tried loading in my XP disk but I GET an error. I have never reinstalled before. I have tried looking throgh the Q&A but I am not finding what I need. I am not sure what to do. Please help. I am fairly sure this COMPUTER has a few VIRUSES and such I seen Zango in the process window and My Cool Websearch somewhere. I don't want to deal with all that . I just want to get a fresh and clean comp. There is absolutlely nothing on this I want SAVED so that will not be an issue either. Please help and I hope I am posting in the right section. Quote here is a star like icon in the tray and it says 'your system may be at risk' This is a warning from Windows Security Center. Normally, it means, that either firewall, or antivirus (or both) is not installed, or turned on. Since it's a computer from your friend, probably clean install is your best option. What EXACT error are you getting? Windows XP clean install manual: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html
