Hey Techies! I'm preparing to purchase a new HDD (Seagate - 1TB Internal Hard Drive) but I'm wondering what to do about my OEM OS. I have Windows XP Pro SP3, it was installed by Dell about 4 years ago when I purchased the comp. I have a Dell Dimension 3000 (Intel Celeron D 330, 2666 MHz).
Anyhow, I'm looking to get a new HDD and I don't want Vista. I'd like to keep my Windows XP Pro but Dell never sent me back-up software. When it comes time to install my new hard drive and remove the old one, how would I go about installing Windows XP Prop from my old HDD to my new HDD. Is it possible to transfer? Do I have to contact the company? If not, how would I do it? Laygeek terms please!
