Excuse me? Are you calling me a troll now?

Respond to the proof that you were wrong.

Figures. A few days have elapsed with no resonse from you when
confronted. You are not only a liar and a fraud, but a coward as
well. Several of us have proven you to be wrong on this. Own up to
to it, or sacrifice your teetering if not nose-diving credibility,
Carey. Until then, you are nothing more than another a-hole with a
modem.

As I've said before, you give MVPs a bad name.

I second that emotion!


He's probably plonked me now, too.
The utimate defence of a usenet coward.


I thought Carey had plonked me too, but then he goes and responds to me
once in this thread. As it stands, there is only one regular left that
still has me plonked that I can figure, and that's Ken Blake, and I
suspect he may not even have me blocked, just has the self-control not
to reply. Everyone else that has said in the past that they have
plonked me seems to have unblocked me!

Plonked, blocked, not responding, all the same thing in my mind and all
shere the common denomiator of cowardice. Everyone else worth their salt
comes forth and cops to confrontation, right or wrong, whether anyone
else agrees with them or not, they speak their minds, and rightly so.
The really honest ones admit when they are wrong and stand their ground
when they believe they ae right when confronted with meaningless and
diversionary drivel. Otherwise they are just cowards.

Although it is not recommended, you would need an older pre-SP2 Dell
Reinstallation CD and then proceed with a repair install. Please be aware
that you will sacrifice any Dell support for Windows XP in the future since
you are altering the O/S with an older O/S.

Also, you cannot use a Windows XP "retail version" CD with the Dell Product
Key.
The trick is finding an older pre-SP2 Dell Reinstallation CD to use for the
repair procedure.

Hi

Is there anyway to bring down an sp2 machine to sp1? Possibly by
reinstalling from xp sp1 cd on top of a sp2 installation? Ideally I would
like to retain all apps during the process if possible.

Thanks

Regards

A bit of back-peddaling now, eh Carey?

Please be aware

I don't believe that is true. The XP OEM EULA provides for the use of a
previous version of Windows all the way back to Windows 98. The OEM is
still responsible to support the OS under the terms of the OEM EULA. A
difference in SP levels is trivial by comparison.


Also, you cannot use a Windows XP "retail version" CD with the Dell Product
Key.

A Dell OEM CD will not install on a non-Dell computer because it is
BIOS-locked. The opposite is not necessarily true and I've done it in
several cases. Try it and see; the proof is in the putting.

Yeah, it went from:

"If you attempt to perform a Repair Install using a Windows XP SP1 CD,
you will get an error message that the SP2 files cannot be removed and
the Repair Install will fail and subsequently abort."

To:

"Although it is not recommended, you would need an older pre-SP2 Dell
Reinstallation CD and then proceed with a repair install."



The requirement that it be a pre-SP2 *Dell* CD is up for debate, too.
I've used non-Dell OEM CDs to install on Dell PCs successfuly.

LOL! You expect too much from Carey, and you need to grade him on the
Bell Curve, Steve. He is on a Bell Curve all by himself, and at the
very low end of that curve! ;-)
