Thank you Dave! The new system came with WinXP Home on it, but I will be
buying a second SATA harddrive and install to that, so basically you assumed
right. <grin>

PLEASE, if you are able, help the Hurricane Charley, Frances, Ivan and
Jeanne relief efforts. Your help can be to donate blood, cash, groceries,
clothing, shelter, volunteer time or just thoughts and prayers. I promise
it will be sincerely appreciated by those that need the assistance. Call
your favorite religious, volunteer or charitable agencies to learn how you
can help. Thank you.

XP Pro on the new system by inserting the Pro disk in the CD Drive and
booting the system. If asked to boot from CD say yes or whatever the
instructions say. Mine says to press any key to boot from the CD. Follow
the instructions to install the OS onto your new system. At the Product
Activation section you may be required to call for activation. Inform the
call center operator that you no longer use the old computer and are putting
Pro on your new computer. The call center operator will give you new
numbers to type in to the activation window. Let the OS continue to
install. If your old system works well enough and you want to transfer your
setting and so forth, run the transfer settings wizard. When you have the
settings transfered to your new computer, format the drive on the old system
to take Pro off it(if the old s

transfer settings to the new computer, format the drive on the old system to
take Pro off it. Recycle the old computer and you should be done and good
to go and in compliance with Microsoft's license for the operating system.
