XP pro help
« on: May 03, 2008, 11:08:28 AM »
I have an older harddrive in a new computer and no XP pro disk (preinstalled). I dont want all my old junk on the new computer, so i want to start fresh with only the operating system on the harddrive. The issue: how do i reinstall XP pro with no disk? I have an XP home disk, would that work with a pro key? Any help would be great!

it's ok to not have a disc.  it's easier if you do.  i was just wondering, the windows you have, did you install it yourself from before?  if so, i think you did not do a windows backup where you can boot it in safe mode.  if you want to start fresh, try going in safe mode and try returning to your "old state" fresh windows.
