Lurie Same thing - but only good for changing from one volume license key to another.. You have to perform a repair install to go from a retail/oem/volume license key to a retail/oem key. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

Is there a new "document' to cover this? How about instructions for 'repair install' with specific reference to changing retail/oem key? -- William B. Lurie |

Go here.. http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm .. There is no need for a specific reference to changing retail/oem key, as it is part of the procedure anyway.. be prepared to activate over the phone.. here in Canada, it is an automated process through the night, and easy to do.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User wrote in message ...

Lurie No there is isn't a current Microsoft site hosting a document that is specific to SP2. Use the current instruction set for Windows XP. -- Harry Ohrn MS-MVP [Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp |
