thats what i was expecting. im just not so sure how to do that in my present situation and whether there could be any problems after doing it - like certain windows settings, problems with installed applications, my documents and some data in the local settings and application data folders.
i have a hp notebook with win xp pro preinstalled, and a vista business cd. im using xp and dont want to install vista. so how can i perform a repair install of xp without an xp cd?
