The psu on my girlfriends emachines prebuilt computer konked out last week and took the motherboard with it. Everything else seems ok although the windows install is now stuffed and won't boot, hard drive is probably corrupted.
I have salvaged what I can from the HDD but I don't know what the story with Windows is. I want to try formatting and reinstalling windows. Unfortunately XP home came preinstalled on the machine so she doesn't have a windows cd. The authentic cd/activation key is on a sticker on the back of the case so I can I buy an xp home cd from ebay (without an activation key) and then install xp onto it with her key?
