My friend's computer hard drive broke, can I use windows xp upgrade cd to install in new hard drive?
-
I think my friend's computer hard drive is broken since it won't boot up an it has an PXE E61 media error. If she buys a new hard drive can she use an windows xp upgrade cd (since that is what was on her old hard drive) to install on the new hard drive or does it have to be the full version of Windows XP cd? Thanks in advance.

Answer:
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000706.htm is the explanation of the error. The upgrade will only work if it already has a version of Windows already installed (i.e. '98). If you have a new bare drive, you need a full installation CD.
