Yes, you can install the drivers from a USB thumb drive. First you need to download the drivers to a computer and then transfer them to the thumb drive.

The drivers need to be install in the correct order, as noted here:

HI,I went driver site and after figuring out what may be the right drivers i put them on a flash drive,but flash driver

will not work because USB is not connected if this makes sense and while i was rooting around in disk drawer i

found what appears to be a disk that says drivers and utilities but that will not even work you would think the driver disk would be a straight up fix no such luck what am i doing wrong any ideas would be appreciated,thanks

Windows XP has reached End of Life as of April 2014 and it is not recommended to reinstall such an old version of Windows.

You should follow the driver installation order which will bring your Windows XP installation to April 2014 using the WSUS Offline Update, this is its last official update and then install the drivers in the correct order.

That system should handle Windows 10 Technical Preview providing its got at least 2 GB of RAM and I would advise installing it opposed to Windows XP. When Windows 10 is released there should be initial promotional pricing so it'll be one of the best chances to get a modern Windows license. You can keep using the preview builds until that time.

Well i looked at the WINDOWS 10 info. and i would not touch that with a 10 foot pole because one the things it empathized was if you were not a computer expert do not even try the program as it can destroy your PC and since i am a hard time just getting drivers installed i do not need another lesson.

Its pre-release software for testing however it is very easy to use. Installation is actually much easier than Windows XP, and a lot of improvements have been made in the last 4 versions of Windows (Vista, 7, 8.1 and 10) in the fact that most system drivers are inbuilt into the Windows OS.

As mentioned earlier Windows XP is at end of life so even if you are experienced with it, you need to be very careful if you continue to use it. Windows 8.1 and 10 have much better inbuilt security. As you state you are not a computer expert then consider continued running Windows XP as a "risk" especially if you have it online.

We can help with reinstallation of Windows XP and its drivers if your provide the hardware IDs but I would not recommend connecting an XP system to the internet. As mentioned I would recommend the Windows 10 TP over XP Reinstallation.

HI,NATAKUC4,I am not sure what you mean by hardware ID'S please explain,would a SPEECY picture help give you what you need for drivers. If i download WINDOWS TP would i get lucky and get the drivers i need to get access or is that asking too much,also i have WINXP re-installed,but if with your help can i get drivers that as i may have over looked something with the re-install because like i said i am after the data thats on HDD.
 I  WIN7 INSTALLED ON MY SEAGATE 1TB HDD right now and is working.
 On the 1TB HDD i have a 160GB partition at the end of disk can i format that partition and install the WIN10 TP  in that partition,thanks.
