Join Director of Product Management Todd OBoyle on April 26th as he covers the key elements of a phishing protection program. Whether you’re an old hat at phishing education or considering starting a program -- we'll discuss critical components that should be in any program.
I can help you better if you answer me these questions:
1) What flavor of Windows XP do you have? Is it Home or Professional?
2) Is your version OEM (installed in your PC by a PC vendor/reseller) or a full retail version?
If your version of XP Home or Professional is OEM, you may not be able to reinstall it. The retail version of XP usually lets you reinstall XP several times. I own an HP laptop, which came with Windows XP Pro CD. I have rebuilt my laptop twice already and am considering rebuilding it a third time.
Get back to me and let me know if you have a full retail version of XP. If you do, that is great! You would have to clone your hard drive to another one so that you get to keep all your data intact. After doing that, you can run a full XP install. After the install is done and you have XP up and running, you can slave the hard drive to your PC and then you can copy your data back onto your "new" XP PC.
