163886 2003-07-30 09:32:00 you should be able to boot from the XP pro cd like you do with a 98 boot floppy disk.

is your bios set up to boot from your CD-rom.

163887 2003-07-30 09:36:00 So you are trying to install pirated software then? You admit that your computer came with XP Home and now you are trying to install a illegal-copy of XP Pro?

May I suggest you buy yourself a legal version and use that. If you have really lost your original legal WinXP Home CD, you might want to talk to whoever you purchased the computer from and see what they can do (if anything).

163888 2003-07-30 09:37:00 2 things boot,I have xp home and my bios is set to boot from CD rom.
I have a corrupt xp running due to me mucking about in registry.
It was suggested I reinstall SP1 but that was of no help!!

163889 2003-07-30 09:40:00 You read that wrong, I don't want XP pro,I want to have what I started with xp home m/s wanted $50 to replace the disc. Thomas (1820)
163890 2003-07-30 09:41:00 So when you put your XP cd in the cd-rom and reboot does it ask you to push anykey to boot from the xp cd, it it does not do this your xp cd could be stuffed. BootyLicious (526)
