Recently WMI and MSDTS have been not been working for me and so I need to do
a repair install. I used the old "Windows XP Home" for the original install
but I also have a copy of "Windows XP Home SP2". And since I don't want to go
through the hastle of installing all of the updates and service packs that
have been released for Windows XP since its mid 2001 release and all of my
drivers and applications that will break with Pre-SP1 WinXP I was wondering:
1. If it is legal to use the "XP Home SP2" disk (with my old Pre-SP1 CD key)
for a repair install.
and if so
2. If the CD key from my original "XP Home" box will work with the "XP Home
SP2" disk.
