Could someone verify that this is all I need to install a full version of windows xp on a new build that I am planning?
I have the following:
1. Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade CD
2. "Gateway System Restoration CD" -- it states on the cd label "to reinstall system software and drivers, insert this CD while PC is on. For help reinstalling the Windows 98 or Windows 95 operating system or reinstalling Windows NT hardware drivers, start PC with this CD inserted"
I'm pretty sure (but hope to verify) that all I need to do to install a full version of Windows XP on a brand new computer is to boot up the Windows XP upgrade disk, and at some point I may (or may not) be prompted to insert an earlier version of windows, which the gateway system restoration cd will satisfy.
Is this right? In other words, is my Windows XP upgrade cd actually a FULL version that simply requires proof of ownership of an earlier version in order to install?
