You might think that that's a stupid idea, but my problem is this:
Friend A bought a PC with XP pro from friend B, friend B split with girlfriend, Friend A now with said girlfriend, friend b unhappy, friends A & B no longer friends.
Friend A comes to me after all this saying his XP serial no. is bad.
I, having thought he had XP home, bought him an OEM version (of XP home) for £58. Serial doesn't work (obviously, but had to try it!)
He doesn't want to format because he has quite a few progs that he hasn't got installation discs for.
If I do an XP repair with the home disc, will the XP home serial then work?
Whadya reckon?
