EMBED for wordpress. I find that interesting. I apologize for the confusion for which I have presented to you in my posting. A System Recovery restores your tower to the factory defaults from which you first opened it. The Operating System is part of the factory image, and does not need a product key entered a majority of the time to complete installation.

Now onto the product key sticker you found on your tower. That key is usually a volume license key from the OEM. Not compatible with a retail Windows XP disc.

More specifically, a Windows XP disc from another brand of computer will not work on the product key for which you have your tower. Between you and HP support phone , this issue is resolved. Yeah, right Lesson learned. In the end, I have to order and pay for a disk set from HP as you indicated in your first solution. That's not so bad, just annoying. This is the perfect OS for multimedia.

Love the media center. Pretty much Professional with media center added. Much cheaper than professional. Overall Review: Ok the install goes like this, disc one first, disc 2, than disc 1 when it asks for the sp2 disc.

Then after that, u need to go into disc one to get to the folder dotnetfx and install the stuff in their and then use the update05 disc and update. Pros: The anti-Microsoft people are gonna hate me for this but oh well, it is what it is. I wasted so much time trying out many of the alternative media centers because I was following the advice and recommendations in many of the media forums on the net until I got really frustrated looking for a all-in-one media center. Then I finally bit the bullet and tried MCE, what a difference!

It does everything, movies, live TV, pictures, music, internet, etc. What more do you need? I will do my own dishs thankyou. Cons: None, unless you want to say that the cost is a disadvantage. I have tried the free ones and they don't stack up to MCE. With most of the free ones and even with some of the purchased ones you get what you pay for. Overall Review: I haven't even gotten into any of the plugins yet. Gotta a lot to do. Pros: Well, it is Xp and not Vista!

This OS has not done me wrong like Vista has. You cannot go wrong with this type of multimedia center if you like to watch TV, DVD's, play music, and just have all of your multimedia organized. Cons: The installation can be a little tricky. First install with the main CD, then the second CD and then you need to go back to the first CD for it to install correctly.

The only other bummer thing I can think of is that it does not come with a video codec which I do not think they can give legally anyway. Full Specifications.
