Evenin’...

Fixin’ dona’s computer. Replaced her HD last week and had a devil of a time setting it up again. Stupidly installed xp home edition first, didn’t look carefully enough. Then tried to reinstall with xp pro but kept getting home instead. Was vexing.

Finally took it to the office and tried a different xp setup cd. Found out that the CD I’d been using was in fact a home edition CD mislabeled as a pro CD.

That would ‘splain it.
