How Do I obtain a Copy Of Windows XP HE Os
Hi
Have you tried contacting the company that supplied your PC to see if they can help? Otherwise you will need to purchase a full retail version of XP. Please note, if you opt for the latter your warranty 'may' be invalidated - depending on the company and their policies.

How Do I obtain a Copy Of Windows XP HE Os
You can add a second drive without the need to eliminate the partition that
enables you to recover your system, and you don't need an XP cd to do it either.. just add the second drive as a slave to the primary drive.. "Junior" wrote in message ...

Hi,
You are meaning that the original drive has two partitions. You can easily combine them using BING, etc. As for adding slaving another drive, this has nothing to do with your operating system. As for the partitions, it is good advice to install/save all that you can to another partition in case the directory partition does fall into havoc, thus making the recovery process easier and quicker. -- All the Best, Kelly Microsoft-MVP Windows® XP 2004 Windows MVP "Winny" Award Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "Junior" wrote in message ...
