We both have been all over the net researching this problem with no luck
at all? It's a fairly new used computer with a Home Edition XP serial
number on the case, when he gets to the boot where he can repair,
install, etc. (at this point what ever he clicks on, repair, install,
etc. it locks up solid) it say's it is a Pro version, could be a bootleg
XP for all we know? He dosn't have a restore CD, neither a legit XP CD.
FFrom searching HP newsgroups, home page plus on top of all that we
havn't the slightest idea of what was done to this machine, what was
deleted, what they tried to install or uninstalled, what keys were
pressed, so on and so on? After many hours with no luck, him being a 98
diehard, a reformat and a win98 install. THANKS again for your help!
