I have an emachine pc that had to have the motherboard relpaced. One of the
kids picked up something on the web and I tried to restore from original
CD's. The restore seemed to take ok, but, I'm pretty sure it doesn't like
the new motherboard cuz when i try to boot it flashes the XP Home banner just
long enough to tell what it is then reboots and just keeps repeating this
cycle. emachines says I need to BUY another copy of XP to load. My thought
is, I've already bought a copy of XP with the pc and the fact that their
motherboard went south shouldn't mean I have to buy another copy of XP.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
