Re: HELP - Service pack2 and XP Pro 2001!

No, my current PC is homemade. No authenticity sticker on it. My copy
of XP
is on a disk (also copied) with key codes written across it. My admin
was
from SAT America, IT geek who always got me what I needed with no
hassles?! I
left there about 5 years ago.

My PC is powered by an AMD64 Athlon and controlled by ASUS with about
500GB
of storage.

So, I need to buy a fresh XP, don't I?

does it do??
