So I replaced my motherboard and went to do a repair install, but the CD I had for it, Windows XP Pro slipstreamed with SP2 and a couple other goodies, didn't have the repair option on it!!! I was scared I was going to have to reformat, which would have been a hassle since I just reformatted a few weeks ago.
So I happend to have two other copies of XP Pro. SP2 and Corp. Edition. I put in the SP2 one and it wouldn't even boot from it. I was starting to freak out some more at this point.
I put in the Corp. Edition one and it worked! It actually had the repair option. So that's happening now as I type this on my laptop :crosses fingers:. So when it prompts, I just put in my serial number that's on the copy of Windows that was already installed, right?
Anybody else have a similar scare ever?
