I have an XP machine here that we are trying to install SP2 onto. However
the SP2 install is indicating that the current version of XP may not be
genuine and directs us to the MS "How to Tell" site
(http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/ww/default.mspx). We bought
this machine new with XP preinstalled and we have the original XP disc also.
We have verified that the disc is genuine. However this machine did have
the OS reinstalled at a repair shop some months ago. We are wondering if it
is possible that the techie reinstalled the OS from a disc there, or ghosted
it, or something of the sort.
Q: If this isn't a genuine XP, how can we get the genuine version back on
this system from the CD, and SP2 installed?
Thanks.
