right my laptop is caput, something is seriously amis with it so im going to reinstall windows on it and start again.
when i bought the laptop (7months ago) i was not given an install disk for windows XP home, but obviously i could hook the code out of the current install and use another disk for the installation, i do have a copy of professional lying around but can i use that disk with a home edition code? and result in an installation of home edition?
quite why they sent me a copy of MS works (less use than a chocolate teapot) instead of a copy of MS windows XPhome i do not know.
i doubt they would take my laptop back and repair it themselves as i have deleted all the acer bumpf of it in an attempt to make it run.
would using a home code with a pro install disk work though?
