What happened HP loaded images that were originally made for Intel CPU's onto AMD Computers.

When SP3 goes in Using a HP image/recovery CD it loads it thinking its a Intel -- BUT If you install Windows from fresh using a Normal XP CD, then it loads in the correct software.

Ok, that's great! Thanks Wainuitech.

Yes The cd I installed XP Home is a genuine Install cd with keycode, not a recovery disc.

So now I can just go install SP3 and it should be fine.
