hey friends, you guys have any idea on this issue?
ok, so i have a friends computer that has no recovery disks, no option in bios or on system, there operating system xp has been repaired by yours truly cause they had alot of infections. they have been clean for awhile now, but there operating system is not working correctly all the time and needs a repair. (such as right click of desktop-properties, does not bring up the display settings found in control panel.) I have to go into control panel to launch it among other problems. Not really anything terribly serious, but just annoyances. Anyways, what i want to know is, can i use another windows xp cd to repair the operating system (since they have no disks that came with there computer, and dell wont help ether) without a license key needed? I want to repair there xp, not reinstall, just repair of the os as certain files are def missing. Not critical ones, but ya. So can i repair there os with the xp disk i have?
