Hi guys,

Didn't understand a word you said. My windows xp home edition won't do a reinstall. A messages comes telling me that windows. cannot install never version detected. It's the same version I've always had. I've downloaded some new programs. Could this be the problem? HELP!

Thanks.
 
Windows XP newer version detected

i had the same problem.

you have downloaded and installed updates from the microsoft site...therefore your installation is newer than that of the CD you have...

you could try going into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all the Hotfixes and updates that have been applied to your machine.

Usually called something imaginative like Windows XP Hotfix - KBXXXXX

uninstall all of those suckers.... and uninstall Service Pack 2 if you've installed that too....

i tried it - it worked on 1 machine, but not the other......

remember to reboot once you've uninstalled all those.

Alternatively - FDISK is your friend.....
 
I just went thru that. try to restart and boot from your cd. Thats what i had to do... just this morning...lol :giddy:
