i want to do a fresh windows install on my GF’s computer but the computer never came with a recovery CD. and i was wondering if it would work fine if i just borrowed a friends windows xp cd and used that or would i need the recovery cd?
If she has a cd key and its a stand alone copy of windows it should work. You may have to call microsoft and have them activate it again, but thats usually pretty simple as long as you have a valid key.
cool thx
also does anyone know why HP dont give u recovery cd’s i thought that they might have just missed the computer that i was to do a fresh install on but when she bought a new one this july it didnt have one either?!?! do they not like u have it or something
i just reinstalled windows xp home on my old laptop. but i lost my cd key :snky: cn anyone help a brotha out :suckoff:
