How much is it to install an inside/outside home audio system?

Will a windows XP Pro CD fix a system with XP Home on it, like a Home CD would using the Repair install option?

• I have a Windows XP Pro install CD, but the system that I want to use the CD to do a Repair Install has Windows XP Home Edition on it. I however do not have a Windows XP Home Edition CD. Will the Windows XP Pro Install CD work as well as the Windows XP Home Edition would on this system?

• Answer:

  An XP pro cd can repair XP home but you may have some issue with the product id. Michael Stevens Tech tells you how to get around it. In general you want to do a repair install and NOT use the repair console. Detailed instructions for a repair install are here http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm He also describes how to create an XP disk with the service pack included easily. If you can no longer do a repair install or find it too complicated, DO NOT reformat and reinstall as this will wipe you out and leave you with nothing but the operating system. You would have to reinstall all your programs and much of your data would be inaccessible. Reimage can repair your system even if a repair install fails. It costs a little but it is well worth it to save your data. It takes about 30 minutes and preserves your programs and data. If you are not happy with the results, you don't have to pay and you can reverse any changes that it made.
