I don't think there's a way to differentiate the version of Windows based on the Product Key. However, could you elaborate what you mean when you say

If the OS is installed, you could just...

And that's what I'm doing right now too :D

All this discussion after a simple "No". I like, I like :P

Also check that your system BIOS is not set to automatically start the system

I must say that you have followed a very logical course of action. I would however like to mention that considering that the exact same issue occured on two different drives, I would definitely not...

This website here (http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=3223) shows that support for Windows XP Pro will end on 14th April 2009.

Slowly being phased out, maybe. But you would also know that XP SP3 is due in the second quarter of '08. XP support will be around for some time now. Besides, Dell for one IS offering computers with...

I concur with Chris. If indeed you have the same problem in Safe Mode, you're left with little choice except for a reinstall. However, one thing I can suggest is to check to see if there were any...

Also try running diagnostics on the memory.

Agreed. But it really doesn't matter if the dude there is doing so because he is helpful or because it's policy, as long as he can get you what you want

Trust me, in Dell, they can. I should know, I've done it numerous times.

Just spoke to a Dell rep and I was informed that XP is available (after a lot of time convincing him I do NOT want Vista on my laptop - got my desktop with Vista). This ofcourse, is Dell India. I...

Have you tried checking the drive on a nother computer? It's possible that some parts of the DVD (specifically the part retaining to copy protection) may have gone bad. If this is the case, the only...

Try uninstalling and reinstalling MP10. I'm guessing that this is an issue with the WMP being corrupt.

No, you cannot use both DDR and DDr2 simultaneously on boards which have both the slots. You can use either DDR or DDR2 at one time. I guess this should answer your second question.

wait a sec...is that iexplorer or iexplore? iexplorer is some kinda spyware. Internet explorer would be iexplore (without the 'R' in the end)

The fault does not lie in the PC. It's a problem with your wall power outlet. You need to get an electrician to fix the problem.

No it isn't. Make sure the wall outlet you have plugged the system into is properly earthed....

Remive the CMOS battery. Also, if the bboard has a CMOS reset jumper, short those pins. Doing so will clear the CMOS.
