First I would Call MS and they will send you services packs 1 and 2 on a CD. I have on if you like; I can copy it and send you a copy. As it take MS a week to get, I can overnight it to you. Steve

If your version of XP is OEM you should have that option when you boot the computer with the CD in the drive. Are you using SP2? If so Microsoft has a free CD of it available.

The problem is that when I load the XP CD Rom and try to install/reinstall it responds that the XP Version that I have on the hard drive is newer than that on the CD rom and It won't go any further. Presumably this is because I have all the service Packs and updates installed. What is the correct way to format with XP Pro? Any advice would be appreciated. Pls contact me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks ...Nev Gosling, BC. Canada
