No, you are not right, just foolish and deceiving.
Has cheating and deception become a way of life for you?

You are the one that's being deceptive, so even if you accept my reply
EULA, you are still gonna burn in hell, Cary! There is no saving the
likes of you, but you are the second nominee for becoming a Microscum
MVH, most valuable hypocrite.

Hello Crey
I admire your concise replies thus I wanted to inquire about my own delimma. I own a dell desktop (OEM cd sent) It has incurred a small line fracture neat the center of the cd, I was told bby Dell Tech Support (whom I formerly worked for) that I would have to purchase Retail XP. I want to upgrade to Pro, is it doable w/ OEM Home #1 , #2 I am contemplating Small Business Server, cost being the obstacle. Could you please advise as to my options

Kindest Regards

Yes you can upgrade from XP Home to Pro using the Pro upgrade disk. However
if you want to do a clean install using the XP Pro Upgrade version you will
need to pop a qualifying product into drive when prompted. If you have a
"Recovery Disk Set" from the manufacturer it will not satisfy the qualifying
product request. Given that your CD is damaged you should purchase a Full
retail version of XP Pro.
