The problem with a re-install of Windows is, that my original MS cd is pre-sp2 - sp2 was done via the net. Which renders the original cd useless. (According to an article in pc-mag.)


I'm new, but I have 1st hand knowledge on this issue. Your original Win XP CD is useless. Contact Microsoft by email and they will send you a free Win XP CD which is already updated with SP2. That is what they did for me several months ago. According to Microsoft, I was the 1st person to report this problem at the time.

The downside to M$ Win XP SP2 is that some of your old hardware will no longer work. This has been well documented.
