A possible fix (Rolling back to SP1 on a PC delivered w/SP2, Part
I ordered three new Toshiba Satellite A70s with Windows XP Pro, and an
understanding that the version delivered with them would SP1. When I received them, I found that they are SP2, which absolutely will not function with the software/hardware system we purchased them specifically to interface. Toshiba is dragging their feet, and has yet to follow up with me after two weeks of repeated calls. I have several full version, non-OEM installation copies of Windows XP Pro that we have installed on other machines. Is it possible to install these pre-SP2 versions on the new Toshibas and register them with the Toshiba SP2 licenses delivered with the new PCs? Thanks in advance. |

Q. "Is it possible to install these pre-SP2 versions on the new Toshibas and register
them with the Toshiba SP2 licenses delivered with the new PCs?" A. No. The Toshiba OEM Product Keys will only work with the Toshiba supplied Windows XP recovery CDs. They will not work with any other Windows XP installation CDs. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!
