You CAN use another XP CD for a repair install of Windows - as long as you have the valid XP code sticker on the case of your PC.
You will need to download all the updates to Windows after a repair install, and you may need to reactivate.
Squeeze, I'm sad to tell you that it did NOT work for me: Windows did accept the cd, never asked for a code, repaired(?) my files,... and failed to start explorer.With my recovery disk of Ghost I could replace explorer with my old one, so it worked again. Even worse, the things that needed repair, ARE NOT REPAIRED!!
So what to do now?
