I don't understand what you are clarifying from your clarification, but your
best choice would be the Academic !!!!""""FULL"""!!!! XP Pro version.
!!!!NOT!!!! the Academic upgrade. Unless you have a Win 95/98/Me/NT4/2000 CD
to use for the upgrade qualifier and you want to do a clean install, you
will not be able to do so with the upgrade. Your Toshiba restore disks would
mean you would have to restore back to the original configuration if you
wanted to reinstall using the XP upgrade. I am giving this recommendation
because of the deep academic discounts for XP Pro full version.
