Boris Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 In a word - no :(Unless you can borrow an XP Pro CD and install using the details from your own Windows Certificate of Authenticity sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Here's a good guide to installing XP Home (XP Pro is installed in the same way)http://www.simplyguides.net/guides/xp_home...all_part1.shtmlNote - you will probably need to install various drivers for the components in the PC - some of which which may not be included on the Windows XP CD - you usually get a separate CD with them on when the machine is supplied.

Sbrideau Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 One question though, do you have a "recovery hard drive", which is usually a partition on your hard drive for recovery.I know that's what I have, although I have made recovery dvds.
