ok I broke my old harddisk and bought a new one, poped it in and installed window home edition (orginal) and when i put in the cdkey it didnt allow me to use it so i figured i use a cdkey from window xp proffessional(fake) and it worked however it asked me for a activation, and i g0t scared and asked a mate what i should do he just goes just install the proffesional and i tried when installing it goes 34 mins left and it would rest and go back to 39 and go down to 34 and the comp would rest over and over. is there anyway to fix this like format it and start over or something please give advice. thanks ohh yeh this is a lap top so it doesnt have floppy drive
