Hi - please forgive me if this is the wrong forum. I can only say that it
appeared to be the best option when I scanned the list.
Problem: my computer supplier has gone bust, ceased trading and is out of
business. My Windows XP Pro is an OEM version.
1 - is there anything I can do short of purchasing XP Pro again?
and
2 - I have just whacked in a new hard drive to the 'pooter. It seems far
superior in many respects to the ones that came with the computer in the
first place. What I'd like to do is use tthe new drive as Windows disk C:
I guess if I had the installable media I could do so or at least have a try.
As I only have a Retsore disk I wondered if there is any way to effect a
restore to the new drive rather than the one that XP was originally set-up on?
Thank you in advance - if I have posted in the wrong place please provide a
prod in the right direction and I'll tootle of down there
