Windows XP HELP PLEASE!!
I have a Windows XP laptop and recently upgraded it to Windows Vista. Well,
when I try log on, a message says something about a product key code. I wanted to know how can you dual boot Windows XP and Windows Vista (currently using) without deleting any files? Also, is it possible to install a system without a installation CD? I ask this because I know my key code is good. It's just that I figured the onlyt solution would be to switch the system back to XP since that's the original system, but I don't want to erase any of my files. Please help. |

You need to carefully explain what you did - because if you have actually upgraded Windows XP in-place to Windows Vista - there is no back other than a clean installation. If it is asking for a product key - it wants the one that came with your Windows Vista installation media. Enter it and activate your copy of Windows Vista online. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
