Keep in mind you want to make sure that that CD is no just an OEM version w/o a license key. If you have any old copies of windows you can use the upgrade version but still do a full install. It will accept any Windows cd from Win98 and up. All you need to do is put it in the drive for a moment during the install. mugs 9-5-2004, 11:24 AM Are we talking upgrade version of full version.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that you can't, and I was rather annoyed. Pliablemoose 9-5-2004, 1:30 PM Yes, you can, it's prob the only time you should upgrade Windows without a full reformat. BobbyDouglas 9-5-2004, 6:52 PM I want a FULL version of XP Pro... I guess I could settle for OEM, but not an upgrade version. BobbyDouglas 9-5-2004, 10:01 PM Looks like I want an OEM only. Cheapest price I can find is for here: http://www.agsolutionspc.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=8&HS=1&dc=670967 Price: $78.00 + Shipping bockchow 9-6-2004, 3:15 AM bahh i completely forget the name of the guy i get these from. o well i think he was CD keys only though. BobbyDouglas 9-6-2004, 3:34 PM I can get a copy of XP on CD, but a CD key only is ok as long as I can get a CD from a friend too. BobbyDouglas 9-10-2004, 4:55 PM So, anyone find something yet? RossMAN 9-10-2004, 5:42 PM The going rate on eBay is around $130 (http://search-completed.ebay.com/xp-pro-full_W0QQcoactionZcompareQQcoentrypageZsearchQQcopagenumZ1QQfromZR10QQsbrftogZ1QQsofocusZsoQQsoitemstatusZ2QQsotrZ2) plus s&h for Windows XP Pro FULL (not an upgrade). BobbyDouglas 9-10-2004, 9:01 PM Yea, I guess I can settle for an OEM version though.
