Re: Help xp gone

you cant copy the windows folder off the hard drive and put it on your own it just wont work that way, you need an Original CD & a Legit Key.

Re: Help xp gone

You dont need to buy another copy, just go to an internet cafe, download the ISO via torrent, burn to cd and install with your serial.

little bit more complicated than that. See Paul Thuriott's site for an excellent method for burning an authentic xp backup iso. *cough, cough* for backup purposes, only, of course. I mean...if you could get your original CD that you own that your neighbor has been holding for you, then you would just have to enter your serial numbers on install.

This is the site. The last section is a step-by-step on burning a bootable Win XP install CD.
