I'm trying to install on netbook via USB which got trashed for my son.

I have a genuine XP PRo disc, but can't find my key anywhere. Also have a genuine XP Pro upgrade disc with key, but can't use it as it insists on having a previous O/S first and I can't install '98 or '95 on there. Same deal with an XP Home upgrade disc+key I have!

Might just go linux for him at this point.

I would make a nice News in the journal with that:

Windows victim`s gets to be a great Linux cruncher.

If Ste\/e doesn't have a key for x86 then I can let you have one of mine.

I also have Win2K with a uni-key that you can have. It should qualify the XP upgrade disk.

Edit: BTW: I have a great utility for setting up the XP instaler on USB. I use it quite often. It's called WinSetup-1-0-beta7. Do you want it?

I'll PM you one, you can try it, I don't use the Disc anymore ...
