Title: Integrating HP software with XP PRO
Post by: Guinness on November 04, 2002, 01:27:06 AM

I just reformatted and installed the full version or Win XP Pro on an HP System.  I was wondering if there was anyway to put some of the software from the HP System Recovery CD\'s onto my computer.  I don\'t want to have to install Win ME (what came with the comp), then upgrade to XP.  Would rather have the fresh install, but still have the software that originally came with the system.  Any ideas????

you can\'t do that! you have to install the softwares that you desires from a different CD! The HP Recovery CD must be install fully in the system! that means you can\'t have a different OS!
