Media Center Edition Extension

[RhysAndrews]

Hi guys.
I'm interested in getting Media Center. From what I've been told though, they're a set of extensions on XP Pro - and when it's purchased, you get an XP Pro disk and the Media Center disk.

I have XP Pro installed. Is it possible to install media center on top of this copy of XP Pro without losing anything?

Thanks

Yes it is possible to install MC over XP Pro. I found a website that has the steps for doing it. It seems like a relatively involved process, but have at it and see what happens.

I recommend making a back up of everything first in case something goes wrong though.

Here is the website: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/18937.aspx

Cheers!

That's cool! Thanks. I'll think about using it, in the meantime I'll be installing Vista Ultimate on another partition anyway which might be a better pick.
