Hello guys,

I have some questions here ..

I just boot the Windows XP Home Original CD after restarting and it prompts me to setup the XP Home.

What I do is to delete my original partition and create new partition, then I setup the Windows XP Home in the new partition.

Everything is good, and I activated my Windows XP Home and also Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 with the activation code. (Original CD)

Now, I feel that something is not right and the computer seems to be loading in an abnormal speed during startup and shutting down.

I was thinking that some part of formatting which I've did wrongly, perhaps I should perform a format of Drive C by going to DOS typing "format C:" and reboot the PC with the Windows XP CD?

Ok, now my question : Can I activate the Windows XP Home and Microsoft Office 2007 for the second time?

Thanks!

Depends on how soon you are going to resintall your PC a 2nd time. Last time when i reinstalled after 3 days of the initial installation, it refused to recognize my cd key and i had to call microsoft support and explain to them coz i reinstalled my pc due to some corruption problem and they resolved my cd key issue.

I believe there is a period that they will not allow a reinstall of your license cd key, i think its safe to do it after a month.

Btw, the last guy who had a question about whether using windows xp home edition oem is rather stupid since even SME built PC's come with windows xp home edition. Talk about blowing yer head of when he himself not sure.
