I don't know for sure but your post sounds like ur copying the CD!
 Good question though. The only advice I can give is Download/Install iMesh, run Spybot S&D, run iMesh.....and under search look for "How To Copy *" There I've said too much. Hope this helps.BTW-If anyone wants to call me names or whatever, I own OEM/Retail OS'S Cheers *cdnref* |

I might be copying an XP cd, but the XP CD I might be copying is one that was burned from the origional. I work at a local Community College and one of our benefits is that we are allowed to borrow PC programs from the college to use on our home computers. I borrowed and XP Pro CD to upgrade my XP Home edition. I want to do a clean install, but I get an "Invalid system disk" message when I start my computer with the XP Pro CD in.

If this is a perk of working at the college then they should supply you with a copy that doesn't need to be modified or copied to install. Either way this topic is not one that the PC Mech mods like to see.

Check your yahoo E-Mail account as the instructions are to long to write here and it is easier to send you a copy of the one I wrote.

It sounds like there is enuf information here that this discussion should not be allowed. What lil jimmie said is 100% correct.... if legit, this issue shouldn't exist to begin with... so I am closing this thread.
