Installing Xp Pro Corp Ed

[Champ]

when i install XP Pro Corperate, should i just pop the disc in and choose upgrade? or should i choose New instalation

(im running XP home, but without the SP's)

or should i boot with it and erase everything else and start new... i dont have manythings on here i care about yet

[manker]

a format and choosing new installation is always best when installing a new OS, in my experience.

put it in, resart pc, boot from cd, in instalklation choose to format your current partition and install XP corp.

Best way, upgrading form home to pro i don't think works. might, but just format it's more reliable.

Good luck. Remember to use that cd key I PMed you, if you don't you'll have trouble getting SP1 or SP2 to install.

where do i put in that key? when i have it all installed and it asks for activation?

should i be connected to the internet when i do?

nono, during the installation it aks for your key.

and as for the activation, the corp edition has no activation, you just install then your done.

lol don&#39;t think so, but...

anyway, ya that is why it didn&#39;t need you to put in a key is because it is built into the cd (sorta lol).

so with teh real xp cd you will need to.
