Aha. You may have two different partitions on the one disk. When the shop
installed XP Home on it, they may have done it to a second partition so that your
original XP Pro installation was still there. I would expect that when you first
switch the PC on, you are presented with a boot menu which allows you to boot from
either partition i.e. XP Pro or XP Home. Obviously this will confuse the stuff we
are doing on the other thread! If you are looking on partition c: and the stuff we
need to fix is on d: it could get very silly indeed! When the machine is booted,
open a command prompt window and type in "set" (without the quotes) then press return.
This will present a list of information. One of the things listed will be the word
"systemdrive" and it will be followed by the letter c: or d: - we need to know which
one we are talking about. Cheers. Spexx.
