Windows XP PRO Corp Edition Question

When I installed XP pro corp on my comp everything was fucked, It didnt have the xp style theme, it had the oldschool style. When I right clicked on the taskbar and picked toolbars->Quick launch it said could not perform operation or somethin along those lines. When I tried it open Gpedit.msc that was fucked up also, It opended but popped up like 5 errors. Is pro only meant for certain kinds of comps or somethin?! Now im stuck download this 2 DVD set with every windows version to date. Im just gonna use XP Home edition corp I guess. :dry: :frusty: So what I did was just reinstall XP home from the cd that came with my comp. No activation needed :D I guess my only option for my new comp is to use xp home edition corp on it? :unsure:

Some of those "Every windows version to date" disks are a POS.

If you wanted XP Pro Corp why didn't you find and dl that? It fits on a single cd, not 2 dvd's of corrupted crap. And it works on any pc that Home edition works on too.

I did dl corp, burned it to a CD and it fucked up. Dunno about that dvd tho, I aint waitng 65 hours and somethin mins for one fuckin iso to finish that I cant even burn.

Sorry, I musunderstood, I thought you meant you installed XP Pro Corp from one of those "All Versions" disks.

You should get exactly the same desktop theme after installation with XP Pro as you get with XP Home. Sounds like you got someone's personalised (pronounced "fucked up") version.

There is no 'Home Edition Corp' version of Windows XP.

user error

Chewie, I just checked one of my disc and there is a Home Corp. Ed.
It has the Corp. files slipstreamed into the home edition, although I haven't tried it as I have no need for it.

@ linkin park, i am currently sharing my xp pro corp copy on emule, if you use emule i can create a hash and you can upload from me. just pm me if you interested and i will create the ed2k link and also give you a key which i use and that allows sp2 to be installed

Have you successfully installed XP on that PC before?

virtualbody1234, if the questions at me :) then yes i have installed xp successfully, i always use this version i have. if the q is not intended at me void my comment :P

It came with XP home edition. the both times I tried pro, they were always fucked up I dunno if they were bad downloads or what.

I don't think the downloads went bad. I think that you have downloaded someones customized (stripped) CD. Try to find a Windows XP Corporate Edition with SP2 slipstreamed. Check the verified section.

@chinook_apache, no I was asking Linkin Park.

Torrentspy?
Torrentit?
pisexy (SP1)?
bi-torrent?

There are plenty to choose from, but best options are probably from private trackers..

The links within this thread are the perhaps, IMO, the best versions of XP Pro Corp w/SP2 available anywhere.

Well I guess it would be a clean install. I format the C: drive. Which is the user partition. the D: partition is where I have all my stuff like music and stuff on. :blink: :frusty:

So the problem is me?... :dry: I know how to reformat a comp. :pinch: :frusty: :angry:

Maybe theres a special way to install this? I usually just boot it up off the disk and go thru that whole format process. Isnt that how its done?

Is the drive set to LBA mode? Maybe you could tell us more about the problem? Like the full specs?

I dont know what LBA mode is, How can I find out?

SPECS:
P4 2ghz @2.5
512 SDRAM (Apacer)
Gigabyte mobo (cant remember the model name)
Western Digital 60 GB HD
Geforce FX 5200.

LBA mode is a setting in the BIOS for the HDD configuration.
