Hi,

I have XP Pro installed on my laptop that is not a legit gopy but have XP home key sticker on the bottom which I intend to use.

Is there a way I can re install XP Home over XP Pro and keep the settings or do I have to wipe everything off and start again? Or is there a way i could back up files etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Thank you both for your help. Everything seems to be working fine and I am now able to get all of the microsoft updates.

One thing i did notice was when XP was being copied it strugled on a couple of files and asked if I wanted to retry, which worked, but the file driver.cab would not work and I continued anyway. Like I said everything seems OK but I wondered what that file is for and if it would effect anything. Does anyone know?

Thanks

Scott
