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! -- Peace!

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. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User "John" wrote: 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 |

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. 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. The trick is finding an older pre-SP2 Dell Reinstallation CD to use for the repair procedure. 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. Steve |

This is as close to an admission that he was wrong as we are gonna get. 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. Steve |

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! ;-) -- Peace!
