Re: load needed dlls for kernel

You cannot use a Windows XP Professional CD to perform a
repair install on a system running Windows XP Home Edition.
You would need the original XP Home CD. Also, you cannot
install Windows XP Pro on another computer unless you purchase
a new license (Product Key) since Product Activation will not permit
activation on a different computer using the same Product Key.

If you already have a retail copy of Windows XP, you can obtain
additional licenses for another computer or laptop by visiting the
