My MESH PC has died. Tried the suggestions from my previous thread, but no joy.
I want to put in a new m/board, RAM, PSU(if necessary) and cpu, but keep everything else – HD, DVD, floppy drive, gfx card.
At the moment XP Pro is loaded on the HD.
If I install all of the new stuff will things be OK, or will the copy of XP on the HD recognise that the m/board and cpu have changed and refuse to work?
I have the CD with XP on it (a recovery CD not a full copy of XP) that I got when I bought the PC from MESH.
Does anyone know if I can use this CD to reformat the HD or am I going to have to buy a new copy of XP (or even Vista)?
TIA
