    I have the XP upgrade disk and it doesn't have the XP Recovery Console. I'm stumped now. How am I supposed to do it with that type of disk??

    I like this site too.

    Quote : **Note - If you are clean installing using an XP Upgrade CD you will be asked for a qualifying product at this point. Just pop the CD for your older version of Windows into the drive while the XP setup completes an authenticity check. Following this you will be prompted for the XP CD and setup will continue.

    You are on a discussion forum that hosts a gazillion peer-to-peer file-sharing users. eMule, K-Lite and Bitorrent are your friends.

    At this point, IMO, I think your best bet is to obtain a copy of XP Pro Corp w/SP2 already integrated into it via an ed2k or a bitorrent client. Anything less would mean spending mucho time with Windows Update.

    This assumesthat I have a clean, fresh, new HD. I do not. The problem I'm having is uninstalling.

    I'm losing my fucking mind over this! I've been working at this for eight straight hours now! Can someone just tell me how to uninstall windows xp home please? Or tell me how to wipe everything out so I can start over?? I can't remember the last time I was this frustrated over anything.

    I have a win 98 disk and a win xp home upgrade disk.
