A friend gave me a seven year old Dell 4100 running XP Pro. It actually dual
boots to Win 2000 Pro also. That (not this machine) won't install Win XP SP 2
because the copy of the OS "may not be valid". C'mon, this machine's been
sitting around in a garage for five years. I'm pretty sure it's a valid copy,
as my friend's father is absolutely, impeccably honest. Is there any way
around this?
