I think the XP pro bit of the reinstall should be fairly straight forward (famous last words and all that). I was more concerned with the order/sequence of the remaining CDs I listed.
Looking at the instructions on http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp I have to enter a 25 character product key. Where do I find this for XP Pro?
I have a sticker for XP Home on top of my PC but cannot find a similar number/ sticker for XP Pro. On the CD it just says "For distribution only with a new Dell PC" and on the booklet it states "The COA can be found on the back of this book or on a sticker attached to your computer" ...but it is not on the back of the booklet!
Unless Dell gives you one, you will not have a COA ( Product Key ) for the Professional installation. . it assumes you have the key on the side of the tower.
