Kurt, please tell me exactly which version of oem xp home i need to
do a "repair" install [not "press "R" to use recovery console"]
I am trying to do a repair install over the top of an compaq laptop
installation, using a purchased oem xp home, NOT the original compaq
restore i386 files.
There is no option to do this when it gets to the screen where you
can select the command console or repair install.
I have used 2 different oem home xp cd's and neither gave me the
repair install option.
One of these cd's has the win9xupg etc directories in the i386
directory, but still no go.
The compaq install is rtm and the oem cd's are rtm.
thanks for your time Kurt.
