I'd try slipstreaming SP3 on it, I've used Student copies when I was in college (not XP) and they installed multiple times across several upgrades.
Microsoft has been getting pickier about validating copies of XP that are reinstalled on another board. I have several legal copies from XP home to XP Pro and one Vista Ultimate.
The day they don't validate one of them I'll be looking at alternative methods of validation. IMO I was nice enough to buy it when there were alternatives, I should be able to use it when I upgrade my Mobo. They might not see it that way but I went through 3 Mobo in a year and I'll be darned if I'm going to buy XP 3 times to feed my hardware habit. |
