Okay, heres the situation. I have an older HP Pavilion that had a bad cd rom reader in it. Well my hubby replaced it and I CANNOT TELL YOU WHY but instead of loading up the windows ME that goes with this computer he loaded up the operating system that goes with our sony viao, windows xp proffesional. Well of course we cant register it to both computers so we want to take it back off and install the windows me, but when we put the disk in an error says Sorry, this operatiog system is for HP Pavillian only. It's like when the xp was installes it whiped something important out that allowed it to use the older operating system. Well I was going to give this older hp computer to my daughter for xmas so I need to figure out how to do it quick. Of course this xp will oly work for 30 days without activation, but after the 30 days does it whipe itself clean from the system so I can install the windows me then or does it not work like that???? I am so confused. Yes I know this was a really stupid move but my hubby is as far from a computer technition as you can get so you'll have to forgive him. How can I get rid of the xp pro and install the windows me without paying a repair shop to do it?
