Thanks Brian A. Sesko for the links!
I would appreciate other suggestions too.
Can i copy Windows XP pro SP2 or Windows XP SP2 Media Center i386 folder
from a CD to my HDD and run the setup.exe from my HDD using the Recovery
console?
What are the minimum system requirements for the Windows XP SP2 Media Center?
Best regards,

IIRC yes.

What are the minimum system requirements for the Windows XP SP2 Media Center?
Best regards,

I suspect the same as XP.

Thanks Brian A. Sesko for your answers!
I entered setup.exe from (cd-rom drive):\ and \i386 and the recovery console
replied that this is an incorrect command.
Windows XP SP2 Media Center records TV and video. This requires additional
system speed. I have a TV tuner and video inputs, and would like to know if
upgrading to Media Center would work?
I currently have P3-750 512mb ram, 250gb HDD, ATI All-in-Wonder 128
videocard with tuner.
Best regards,
Dima

Did you install the RC or are you using the CD based RC that you get to by pressing
"R" when booting from the CD?
What exactly did you type at the command prompt?
If you type at the prompt: dir and press enter, what do you see?

Have you tried at the prompt pressing Enter after each command?
cd i386 *Note the space after cd
winnt32.exe

This is best asked in a XP Media ng:
