I don't see why that would make any difference. Come to think
of it, I did the repair thing on another PC over here that's XP
Pro SP1, and I used a copy of my XP Pro SP2 CD to run the
repair. So it obviously doesn't matter.

A colleague far in northern Ontario phoned me the other day
asking if it
was possible to run the xp repair on a licensed xp pro equipped
laptop
with a copied xp pro disc. He doesn't have his disc at the
hunting lodge
but someone had the copy and if he waits the flight out of
there is in 3
weeks, when he needs it fixed yesterday :(. They have only
satellite
phone there and no internet so he is in a bind.
So is there any unforeseen problems with this working properly?
I know there is no difference between retail, OEM and corporate
volume
discs save for the activation software missing on the latter
but he
doesn't want to trash everything either.
