chiners_68 Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Hi Guys, ive got Pro & Home XP disks but have a PC in that needs reinstalling & it uses MC2005 with a MC code on the base unit.how can I convert one of my xp disk to install MC & accept his code.?I thought you installed XP pro & when you entered the code it just installed the MC components. ive tried that but the disks dosent accept the MC code of this base unit.
chiners_68 Posted December 13, 2007 Author Posted December 13, 2007 that adds media centre bits to XP but will that then take a media center Product code..?
vinodh Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 The thread that Neo referred you to is for XP Pro/Server 2003 ultimate. This thread discusses how to add MCE 2005 to XP Pro volume licence or Server 2003. What you need is a XP Pro cd as well as cd2 of MCE 2005. The MCE key will cause the windows installer to ask for the 2nd MCE cd. If you use a XP Pro key, cd2 will be ignored. That thread has a link in the 1st post to all the MCE files. If i'm not mistaken, you would require an oem xp pro cd, not a volume licence cd for the installer to ask for cd2.
