Hi, Iam running XP Home and it has gotten majorly hosed up. I tried to run
"sfc /scannow", and it prompted me for the XP System CD, which Gateway never
sent with the system when I purchased it. Now, it seems that I have to
purchase the XP Home Full Version to be able to use the Recovery Console.
My question is: Will purchasing an Upgrade to XP Pro enable me to fix the
OS, or should I buy XP Home Full? If XP Pro Upgrade will work, will all of
my already installed applications still work OK, or will I need to reinstall
everything?
Thanks is advance for any help/advice.
