Hi gajanand.cdn,

You'll need to perform a repair install using the genuine install CD. If the
install CD is a retail version, follow the instructions here:

If the install CD is an OEM version, follow the instructions here:

Click on the arrow beside "I need to change my XP Product key" to expand the
items beneath, then click on the arrow beside "Do a Repair Install"



Regards,

i didn't understand, i am new to this, i need furthur guidance

how do i know it is oem or retails version

 

[Guest]

The OEM version (for system builders) is usually about $100 - $150 cheaper,
it doesn't come in a fancy box and you are required to purchase a
non-peripheral hardware component or fully assembled system in order to
purchase the OEM version (though not all retailers enforce that requirement).

After backing up any data you wish to transfer to the new OS
installation, simply boot from the WinXP Home installation CD. You'll
be offered the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as
part of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order
of boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)

Then the backed up data can be restored and applications re-installed.
